Most people don't forget what they learnt, they spend hours sticking it in their brain and if they study well before the exam they shove it in the back of their brain and when they need it, it comes to the front.

I don't know why many people say that you'd forget everything you learned if you crammed just before entering an exam. It really seems like one of those "urban myths" but to a lesser degree in my opinion. I do it occasionally and it works pretty well, but studying in advance is certainly still better in every way.

I hate cramming, but that's what I end up doing most of the time. :< Taking the time to study every day helps a lot more in the long run (exams), but cramming has done me pretty damn well, not gonna lie.
I wish I could say the same..but I suppose it depends a) when you're cramming and b) how long you have before your exam. For instance, I tried cramming before a Biology test, basically 2 1/2 hours before (I studied right up to walking into the room) and I got like, a B- (81%).

But when I crammed the whole day before, then simply reviewed my notes the morning of, I get a 93 or 96. I know i'll ace my last test on Genetics, which will be nice compared to the random 84s I got on my last two tests.

As for my three papers..well...they better be As. XD I need good grades for transfer consideration into like, 4 schools for next Fall.

Cram...?

It's like a type of food to me now.
I need it to survive.

Luckily, Our spanish teacher gives us 5 minutes for small cramming.
I aced a test that way.

Even though, Studying would be a better choice. [/moral]

See if this will be enough for you to survive university/college.

...I'm seeing not.
I have two siblings in Colleage right now, actually (Sister: Senior, Brother: Freshman).

So, I've seen that they have been priding themselfs for having a C sometimes.

and craming is... Not so much the answer rather than:
"STUDY OR YOUR GRADES WILL EAT YOUR HOPE FOR A GOOD FUTURE NOM NOM" is.

It's sad, but it's true. Nothing comes easy, my friend. You have to work your butt off if you want a very decent, financially-securing life.

Not really.

If you're born in a famous family, a rich family or just a well known family then you don't have to do anything. You'll get what you want, when you want. Take Angelina Jolie's (or some other famous actor's kids) for example, they'd get what they want because their mum can afford it. Especially since their dad is also rich.

yeah, but that's bad in a way.
You never get the fact you need to work hard to have a nice life.

Since they were born into a family that that did that for them, They feel that- "Hey, I don't have to work and I can play everyday and do what I what when I want".

It sucks like that.
That's why,
Even if I'm wealthy, I'm going to live in a modern house, and kids will go to public school~

And when they're out of the house, Then, and ONLY then, Will I buy a mansion filled with goodies so when I'm an old fart I can play the rest of my life. =3

k, depressing.

What exactly makes you say that...?

Which will of course, be filled with beer bottles. You can't be a drunk and not have a house full of beer bottles!
BOTTLES.

Heh, if you do decide to go to college, make sure it's for something you want to do. And while that is exactly what I did, I lost interest in Physics fast, and my grades showed that. >_<

Now I am considering restarting with Computer Science, at my current school or at a different one, in either January or September. And if I choose the latter, I'll have to pay the government like $1500 in the meantime. Yes, university is very fun. >_<

So I emphasize this....PLAN AHEAD! XD Go to university/college for something you like, or don't go at all. ^^

Hehe, I don't drink. That's a good thing though, IMO.

Well sometimes you get there and you don't know what you want to do yet, and then you just pick a major that sounds interesting and then you end up hating it. Which is what happened to me...Now I've changed like two times and I'm three semesters behind. lol

Yeah, my dad went to college for agriculture to become a pig farmer.. ,but he never became a farmer at all. So he wasted himself. :/
