Entry # 8 Cramming...is not good for students
Yes... Cramming is not.
It's amazing though. In the spring break that I have right now (may I say that it's going to be over in 2 days, and I shall once again find myself against the tsunami of homework, project, and APUSH. Excuse my metaphors) I've made ... well some progress!
But it doesn't seem tedious anymore. For someone like me who only remembers about 1/10 of what they read and therefore must really work very hard to make up for their lost/lack of intelligence (not modest in any way =P just realistic), it's great!
I imagine that for those who actually can get it over once, they won't be able to 'reread' texts. But everytime I read again, it's as if I'm reading a new page, new information, insights I haven't heard of before, every time!
Oh right, about the cramming.
It is officially one month before the exams. And I know that cramming is not good for me. It just doesn't work for me in the short run, in the long run.
Just doesn't.
I guess I'm glad I paced things out alright (of course, for the majority of those who are taking those many APs, I think it might be safe to assume that cramming does work for them =P).
Pacing is important. Almost goes without saying. Not this time though :)
So it's the final month. All the exam preparation for school work, preparation for SAT IIs, and all the final assessments, they come here.
Well even though it's not even April yet... I see April as the final month, May as the "month where all things fall (hopefully rise though, though we won't know results until June?), and June as the big month where well, there are the actual exams.
But I can't believe it.
My first APs, SAT IIs...soon. O=
