Wow captain sir,
that is intensive cramming! congrats
My cramming is reading over notes the night before for only about a couple of hours
I get distracted too easily...

yes, that is pretty extreme, I aim for 9 hours a day coming up to exams, but I probably only do 6 because of distractions, especially for English, I can't say focussed on English for more than 30min or so

Yeah, I wouldn't normally do that, it was out of pure fear of not knowing anything in english at all.

I managed to be distracted for the entirety of today and do absolutely no work, though. So much for the "3 maths papers" plan.

captain u forgot to mention that 30 is the lowest uai anyone can achieve, many people are unaware of that.....i think...

anyhow, i myself don't like cramming THAT much, it does help when im freaked out the night before the exam. otherwise, i kinda tend to take my time. cramming is good...when your brain is so rushed and your blood pressure is so high that you start remembering thing you didn't even know you knew...lol

10+ hours before each exam, anyone? I'm insane, a procrastinator, a perfectionist, obsessive, and lazy. It's not a good combination...
