FACTS ABOUT CRAMMING

The art of cramming has been considered by many as a method that should not be considered by students and anyone because it seems not to produce any tangible results, well the truth is that many people don’t still know or understand the key to successful cramming and its application.

First things first, 

WHAT IS CRAMMING: cramming is an art of pumping or forcing something into any available space. Such space is usually small, for example when twenty people enter a small car.

HERE ARE SOME TRUTHS ABOUT CRAMMING

¯  Cramming Is A Method: cramming is both a reading method and study method. Its peculiarities are what warrant its use in particular situations. What I mean is that, cramming is not suited for every situation or examination. Learn the best situations to use cramming.

¯  Everyone Can Cram: the idea that some people can cram things and others cannot is false. Everyone on the planet earth can actually do one or many cramming. Cramming can be practiced and perfected; some have developed it into their ultimate study method. It depends on you, to cram or not to cram.

¯  It drains energy: cramming involves putting quite so much into little space, more like crapping 20 people in a small car, you can imagine the discomfort. Cramming is never a pleasant thing to do, I even advice it should only be resorted to as the last alternative after other study methods prove unsuccessful. The amount of energy or food, you will need to do a normal study is lower than what you need to cram successfully. But there is a little snag here, over eating before cramming is a direct dosage for sleep.

¯  It is time based; this is the golden principle of cramming. Cramming is not a long term affair; it is actually a short term method of studying.  I call it the crash course method of studying for any exam or test. NEVER cram months ahead instead start cramming a day or a night to your test or exam.

¯  It is not Permanent: this is principle two, cramming is not a permanent means of comprehending, in fact if you cram, after the test you will lose most if not everything you put in, just like what happens when systems memory is low, it may crash so the same, if your brain space is low, you will crash, by crashing I mean your brain naturally set itself to format mode after the test. So whatever you put in is lost. The trick, NEVER CRAM to understand or comprehend a subject matter, just do it to write and pass an exam. REMEMBER CRAMMING IS A CRASH COURSE WAY TO PASSING.

¯  Cramming is done in haste: the need to put so much in the head will actually cause you to hasten your studying. When you cram, you don’t take time to digest what you’ve read instead you just want it up and that’s it, if you are able to successfully remember you believe you have got it settled.

¯  Whatever was put in in haste must be released in haste: the next principle or fact of cramming is that whatever you uploaded upstairs MUST be downloaded fast. If you drag releasing whatever content you stored temporarily it gets lost in time. Cramming is like you brain RAM, it’s a temporary easy to lose component of your storage system. So when next you cram, be prepared to pour it all out as fast as you can before it gets lost. Is you ever saw yourself looking up the roof or chewing at your pen in an exam hall, it’s a clear way of saying that you are finding it hard to recollect what you put in the brain.
