Cramming is useful in emergencies; 
it is not good for long term learning.

See Emergency test preparation for an alternative, structured approach to cramming

Strategies for cramming include:

  • Preview material to be covered
  • Be selective: skim chapters for main points
  • Concentrate on reviewing and learning main points
  • Don't read information you won't have time to review
