"If you've dug an academic hole for yourself, don't panic. Although, little
except prayers and luck can help students who never go to class or crack a book
all semester, there's one helpful technique for students who have fallen behind
at mid-terms and finals. CRAM. First, pick the most important subjects from your
material. Don't try to lightly know everything. Spend 25 percent of your time
cramming and 75% drilling yourself. The key to cramming is memorization. Recite.
Repeat. Then relax. Although cramming can't replace learning, it's
counter-productive to scold yourself for not studying more effectively. Learn
from your mistake. Think of cramming only as the lifeboat that bailed out a
sinking ship."
