Who else thinks cramming works? (1 Viewer)

[k-la]

might just be me... but cramming the day before i actually remember better!

 

[Kabeio]

depends how much you already know...

 

[goan_crazy]

Of course
Thats all I do
I can't study in advance
I only study the night before

 

[Captain Gh3y]

Worked for me for English Modules. Mind you, I spent like 12 hours each in the previous 2 days cramming, so that's a pretty extreme case.

 

[SmileyCam]

Well it depends on the subject
Plus when I cram I do a whole different type of study

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

cramming is tops !
a good refresher of the memory.

 

[Captain Gh3y]

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.

 

[k-la]

what do u think an average UAI will be.

 

[Captain Gh3y]

The mean UAI will be exactly 65.00 because there's an equal number of people with each UAI between 30.00 and 100.00.

 

[k-la]

Righto! id be happy with a 75 i dont care how low that is, id be satisfied! whats everyone else's satisfactory UAI?

 

[rnitya_25]

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

 

[SmileyCam]

well I'm hoping for at least 97, please let me get at least 97... although I've applied to get into the corse I want by recomendation, so my UAI won't matter if I get that

 

[k-la]

smileycam - which uni did you apply for recomendation?

 

[SmileyCam]

CSU - wagga, I'm wanting to do pharmacy, I need a uai of at least 97

i highly agree, i remember it much better. i can go intot he exam write down what ive learnt from cramming and i have a page of notes.

 

[Master Gopher]

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

 

[mr_brightside]

Yeah it can work...i was reading over religion notes the other day whilst running to school (for the exam ) and i remembered some of that

 

[Casmira]

cramming never works for me, id panic
