Successful Students
9
9….Don’t cram for exams. Successful
students know that divided periods of study are more effective than cram
sessions, and they practice it.
If there is one thing that study
skills specialist agree on, it is that distributed study is better than massed,
late-night, last-ditch efforts known as cramming. You’ll learn more, remember more,
and earn a higher grade by studying in four, one hour-a-night sessions for
Friday’s exam than studying in four hours straight on Thursday night. Short,
concentrated preparatory effort are more efficient and rewarding than wasteful,
inattentive, last moment marathons. Yet, so many students fail to learn this
lesson and end up repeating it over and over again until it becomes a wasteful
habit. Not too clever, huh?
When you cram, you are taking the
shortcut, and shortcuts never produce any real worthwhile results. Also, when you
take shortcuts, you feel rather rotten knowing that you could have done better
but didn’t. Shortcuts cut you short. You can’t plant watermelon seeds and
harvest fresh watermelons the next day
CHOOSE THE RIGHT
