Study habits?

For me, cramming in the last 12 hours works good for me. It helps me get 80% on exams, or when I do not study, I get 75%. Just depends how much you pay attention in class.

I would love to tell you that I promptly started to study the first day I knew the assignment...but that would be such a big lie. I must admit that I put assignments off, including the reading, memorization and writing, until the very last second. Because of that tendency, I am usually carrying a stack of index cards with me the morning of a test. The fare checkers on the lightrail are used to seeing me study on the train. It is not that I focus better under pressure; it is that I find it hard to focus on something while there is still time on the clock.
