Why Cramming is Effective (How I cram and still get straight A’s)

👋🏻 Hey guys! In this video, I share my study experience of cramming for my exams last semester! I talk about why I decided to cram for exams and how to use cramming in a way that is effective and will also get you the straight A's and good grades. Cramming is now my favourite study strategy but then again everyone has their own study techniques and preferences. Hope you can learn something useful and achieve more in your own studies! 👊

I do this all the time. The key is make sure you get sleep like you said. Never stay up all night. If it's gonna take you 12-15 hours to do it all you must plan accordingly.

Ive done this and now have a 3.7 GPA. Couldn't tell you a damn thing about my major tho

I thought I was the only one who thought studying 6 mths before exam was useless, you just end up forgetting and revisit the work when exams approach. Thanks a lot Shane😀

Your channel is literally the best... please stay genuine like you are now.. because I know you'll blow up eventually.

Cramming is absolute shit, you will lack systemic, well structured knowledge, you will have huge knowledge gaps and lack of fundamentals without reviewing material often and putting the knowledge into long memory. You will not be prepared for work.

I don't know who needs to hear this but stop saving all your money, Invest some of it if you really want financial freedom.

This is an interesting video. I think I disagree with your motivations for cramming (though I am only a y12 student so take this with a grain of salt).
The content you will be learning (or in your case, cramming) does not end up being completely/90% irrelevant to you. Each year's content often builds on the previous, at least certainly so from my experience in STEM subjects, so if you are cramming and not storing the information in long term memory, it will be a lot harder to learn next year / next topic's content, as you won't have the foundations on which to build it.
Does my reasoning not apply in the particular degree you're doing? In which case I suppose I see the appeal of your method, though I personally would not cram as I enjoy learning and think I would want to remember my content for as long as possible.

Best :)

[wkvojuo]

Yes everything is useless, only skill and experience can make you a good engineer...

Why do you think some people who cram at the last minute don’t get great grades? What do you think differentiates people
