Why Studying The Day Before Is Bad…
General tips September 19th, 2007We’ve all heard it being said over and over again. Studying the night before the exam is bad! Never ever do it! But have ever pondered why it’s so bad as it’s often said. Well, here today, I am going to show you the major reason for it’s suckiness (is that a word, eh who cares…)
There are number of different reasons why starting to study the night before the exam stinks, such as:
“You wont remember squat!”
I couldn’t have said it any more simpler. It doesn’t work, no matter how good you can absorb information, it simply doesn’t work! A recent study by Jeffrey Ellenbogen of Harvard Medical showed that students who were given rest the night before could recall 76 percent of the test material while those who had gone without shut-eye only remembered 32 percent.
Statistics are very powerful and convincing.
“Oh, people can come up with statistics to prove anything, Kent. Forty percent of people know that.” H. J. Simpson

That’s not completely true. The point is that there IS a key to learn in one day; I think memorizing one night before is more difficult, but not impossible at all!

HAH! Told ya! 69% correct, 4th best grade, and I memorized an equivalent to 7 pages of information.

While I do not believe that cramming the night before is as bad as you say, I also think it best to just study bits at a time some days before the test.
