    Default "To cram or not to cram"

    To cram, or not to cram: that is the question:

    Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to study for prolonged hours for outrageous fortunes and a passing score or to take just a few days or mere hours to study and thereby opposing success and risking failure?

    To die: to sleep; to pass, to fail. These are the questions that preoccupy our souls.

    What say ye all - "To cram or not to cram" - that is my question to thee???

    I believe it went pretty well. There were about 12 to 14 questions that I didn't know the answer, so I didn't the educated guess thing. Now, I just have to wait.

    In keeping with the thread, don't forget the Second Law of Applied Terror!

    The more studying you did for the exam, the less sure you are as to which answer they want.

    i'm not a crammer. i need things to roll around in my head for awhile and then settle in and get comfortable. i've had it happen that after a week or two after i've taken a test, i say 'eureka, now i see where that piece of the puzzle fits.' it was still rolling until that moment!

    i'm taking my statistics exam next week. using SimonTam's quote i should be able to pick out the right answer without reading the question. i really need to buckle down and get studying. i'm running out of excuses. anybody got any excuses to lend me?

    Haha...Shoto, I am sitting an exam at 7:00 am and here it is-after 11:00 pm and I am still reviewing a few literary terms, etc. thinking that maybe one more fact will stick and be useful in the morning. Does that qualify for cramming?

    Na, that sound more like a brushing up and reviewing. Now stop reading this, and get back to your books and CRAM!!

    GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
