Cramming for exams…?

Pre-College Topics High School Life

<p>I'm usually forward thinking and plan everything out far ahead of time. But this year, midterms have crept up on me somehow… and I have found myself not having studied at all. I know little to no material.</p>

<p>So please, enlighten me on the "art" of cramming for exams.</p>

<p>I've got my major classes spaced out four days, so I can't just pull all nighters for those. I need to do well (96+) on multiple exams… with fairly difficult material on each.</p>

<p>Advice? Suggestions? Experiences?</p>
