Successful Students
9
9… don’t care for exams. Successful students know that divided
periods of study are more effective than cram sessions, and they practice it.
If there is one thing that study skills specialist agree on, it
is that distributed study is better than massed, late night, last ditch effort
known as cramming. You’ll learn more, remember more, and earn a higher grade by
studying for four hours straight on Thursday night. Short, concentrated
preparatory efforts are more efficient and rewarding than wasteful inattentive,
last moment marathons. Yet, so many students fail to learn this lesson and end
up repeating it over and over again until it become a wasteful habit. Not too
clever, huh?
When you cram, you are taking the shortcut, and shortcuts never
produce any real worthwhile results. Also, when you take shortcuts, you feel
rather rotten knowing that you could have done better but didn’t, Shortcuts cut
you short. You can’t plant watermelon seeds and harvest fresh watermelons the
next day. Plus cramming for a test or project doesn’t help you academically, so
why even do it. Plan ahead, prepare ahead. Give yourself plenty of days and
weeks to prepare for upcoming accountability opportunities.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
