Why you should stop cramming for IGCSE exams

Cramming for exams, or trying to learn a large amount of information in a short period of time, can be tempting, especially if you feel like you're running out of time. However, there are several reasons why cramming is generally not an effective study strategy:

1. It's not sustainable: Cramming is a short-term solution that is not sustainable in the long run. It's not a good way to build a strong foundation of knowledge and understanding, and it's unlikely to lead to long-term retention of the material.

2. It's not efficient: Cramming can be stressful and inefficient, as you may feel overwhelmed trying to absorb a large amount of information in a short period of time. It's generally more effective to study regularly and consistently over a longer period of time.

3. It's not good for your health: Cramming can be stressful and can negatively impact your physical and mental health. It can lead to sleep deprivation, anxiety, and other health problems.

4. It may not lead to better grades: While cramming may help you pass an exam in the short term, it's not a reliable way to achieve good grades. Research has shown that students who study regularly and consistently over a longer period of time tend to perform better on exams than those who cram.

In summary, cramming is not a sustainable or effective study strategy, and it can have negative impacts on your health and grades. It's generally better to study regularly and consistently over a longer period of time in order to build a strong foundation of knowledge and understanding.
