How to Cram for a Test

[TheCrookedTeeth]

Watching this because I have an A2 religious studies exam at 13:30 today... It's 09:30... So screwed...

[Aterix33]

@TheCrookedTeeth How did it go besides probably..HORRIBLE! Lol you cracked me up. Don't worry I have an anatomy test in 2 days and I'm just as screwed...:-(

[lol4481]

like this if your watching this because of midterms...

[pokidots]

time to get the banannas out

[Tokibits]

Which Harvard study "proved" that 8 hours sleep increases exam scores by 25%? I would need to see a reference before believing that. It sounds silly to be honest.

[massivemonkeyballs]

sleep or study hmm i go to bed XD

[ToxicSpartan94]

shit ..I wish I could get those 8 hours of sleep...is it better to get the 8 hour sleep or to study the night?...

[IcyFlute]

@ToxicSpartan94 Study. At least the information is in your brain. If you just sleep, then you're just guessing the answers anyways. But you should get at least a few hours sleep to retain the information at all.

[iKiLLwCMD]

My end of semester exam is in 5 hours and I havent studied much, Im cramming :)

[samm1809]

"half of American teenagers have admitted to cheating on a school exam." *HINT HINT*

[PREDvideos]

Great, but i don't recommend to take deep breaths in order to relax. If u take deep breaths much more oxygen goes into your body which does not make you relax, it could make it worse

[dsrocks99]

im in freaking middle school and i need all bs and theres 2 or 3 major tests tommorrow :(

[SeniC7]

@dsrocks99 im on the 2nd year of midlescholl i need to focus and stop watching howcast so much?

[PingByter]

I just had to check it out if howcast has a video for studying for a exam. imma go read now bye!

[sumoworm]

i have a bio a level tomoro......hello failure

[gobbo777]

Any UK crammers; get a CGP revision guide (unless its OCR A level chem, they are shit for that), flick through, then flick through and highlight important bits from big wads of text and draw any important diagrams. When making cram notes, use a diagram over text, much more effective. Also, knock down those caffeine tablets.

[TheGingerLow]

How can i do all this when my exam is in 15 minutes??

[mariushkitty]

Thank's ! for the help !! howcast !

[2emma1]

Who else is "studying" right now?

[sonjasigur]

@2emma1 me

[DJDeadmauZ]

@2emma1 I got the ISEE test this Saturday

[dannymanthing]

Bananas

[Rubekgold]

omfg this works

[firstroseofautumn]

Something tells me my teachers would be pissed if I highlighted all over my text book....and sleeping after the exam??? I've got to be in class, getting ready for the next exam! You americans, clearly lucky people :/

[samm1809]

@firstroseofautumn this seems like it was directed more at uni/college students

[imahrouqi]

Bullshit.

[mrlanguageguy]

jack daniels pencil cup whoot whoot!

[AGClayMakers]

I didn't know there was a proper way to cram...?

[321catherine]

My way of studying is drink 2 energy drinks then memorize notes until you pass out.

[britbanana7]

I have to cram for a s.s test thats at about 11:10 am. . . I have to memorize 17 vocab words even though u r probably saying big whoop well i have never even looked at them before+its 11:20 pm and im so tired!! and coffee isnt available cuz my big sis is up (im 10 and shes 19) so she would yell at me for being up and trying t omake coffee. . .(Sigh) only children r so lucky. . .anyways wish me luck!

[Ariodude]

I thought to cram, that means you have like only 10 minutes to study

[lor97531]

highlight in a text book??

[Mydogisthecuttest]

@lor97531 At most colleges you have to purchase your own textbooks. They belong to you so you should highlight and take notes in them.

[britbanana7]

@Mydogisthecuttest unless you rent them. . . .

[Mydogisthecuttest]

@britbanana7 Yeah that's what I do to save money actually :)

[britbanana7]

@Mydogisthecuttest thats what my big sis does too. :)

[lor97531]

highlight in a text book??

[danold06]

this is how i learned to cram a test from this vid

i eat the snacks and water and leave

[95ellington]

HAHAHAHA! I have an exam in 1 hour at 8AM, I have no yet started studying, and I stay up all night playing halo with 3 others.

Yeah, and im wasting time on youtube in the last hour. Life in the dorm is great.....

[paperorpaper]

I once memorized 15 words (that I never knew before) right before taking a vocabulary test for geography and got a 100!

[coltron5]

to study for my geograpy test or not to study for my geography test that is the question whether it is nobler the mind to take the low mark or to suffer the slings ands arrows of staying up late tonight study it it.

[sniper10112]

she probbaly like those bannanas

[karan6]

I am in college now an have had troubles adjusting to the workload the other day I took a giant water bottle drank most of it so I felt like I needed to piss every 30 mins an rewrote all my notes but this time nicely with a nice ruler an everything took a quiz the next day BAM 100%

[cheech5102]

I got a B+ on a AP Human Geography test I took yesterday. I didn't even study, but the day before I re-wrote a half-page of notes cause I wanted them to look neat and not sloppy, somewhere through those 7 minutes of rewriting I remembered everything on that paper and everything on that paper was on the test.

[Sharod101]

@cheech5102 never took notes in AP Human, failed every vocab test with a 40%, got C's on all the tests, and even got a referral for being a habitual sleeper. and i got a 4 on th exam, where those who told me i was gonna fail got 2's, even though they aced the course n studied beyond beleif.

reason, they only knew whats in the book, they couldn't apply it to the real world, where i do my own indiviudal research in Politics, which gave me a huge advantage.

[cheech5102]

@Sharod101 Some people I know in other grades had that happen to them to, sadly I am not that kind of person. If i don't find at least one way of studying I automatically fail, this was just a lucky shot for me that I'm using for now on.

[JotaLegendOfficial]

isn't it easier to have studied the night before... or as I do: study the most important stuf 10 minutes b4 the test, so you won't forget..

[ExtrodinaryK]

here's wat i do to avoid embarrassment, offer to help a nerd review for the test and w/e the fk that comes outta their mouth just memorize it

[5959512]

Its better to stay up as long as it takes to create decent notes, then read over the notes at least twice before falling asleep. After a few hours of sleep review the notes for at least an hour before class. At this point your adrenaline should be pumpimg cause you only have an hour left. Right before you go to class drink a monster energy drink, you will be wide awake for about 30-45 min, after that you will crash so make sure to answer as much as pos. b4 then,go back an check your answers

[bahuka91]

@5959512 good advice!!

[5959512]

@bahuka91 thanks, hope it helps

[DuckyPod]

Step 11: Drink a can of Cola 15 minutes before the test. I got full marks on the test the day i did this

[DrDevilDD]

@DuckyPod its crazy to drink coke in the morning right after u woke up from bed.

[thatswhatshesaiddude]

Well at this point in time, thats 15,800 people who have effectively procrastinated before a test by watching this ahah

[Michaelism75]

Great video for watching but really appauling for education system of today.

[SuperCeol]

@Michaelism75 as is your spelling of appalling

[frilink]

step 11: promise yourselves to not procrastinate next time.......

[frilink]

You peel banana the wrong way Bitch............

[GrimOnFire]

nothing helps if you didn't learn the material. you can't just list through the notes and books and learn it. and if you know the material, it doesn't really matter if you take deep breath and eat protein :)

[YellowJelloXD]

The music is getting to me.

[purelystr]

Great facts. The only problem I see with the video is napping after the exam. How can you possibly nap after the exam? Why do you need to do that?

Go out and have fun. Reward yourself after your exam, or go cram for your next exam (:

Note: I got 92.85 and all I did was cram. It works.

[neverbeenback02]

tnX for thiS LOLz...:D

[brn141]

I was hoping this would have something about how to cram things into my anus. I'll keep looking.

[colinshark]

This video isn't about the C-RAM system at all... I want my 2 hours back.

[subdural1]

give me a break.

[DAIWANGO2]

if teachers are afraid of students cramming than the should make exams as hard as possible. How can a crammer do harder exams than non crammers?

Cramming = a legal way to study

[entaroduai]

what? only half of test takers admitted cheating?

the other half must have lied.

[Noodless121]

@entaroduai I never cheated before. But that makes me want to. lol xD

[eugelu11]

@entaroduai I never ever cheated in a test, and I'm about to finnish highschool

[leyo808]

I have an exam tomorrow! And I never studied! XD Might aswell try this. I so hate studying! Wish me luck...

[ROCK1337ful]

with you man got fuckin mid terms

[Doobieman11]

FUCK THAT SHIT...drink a shit load of coffie and drink lots of juice and study the shit out of that with some hard rock on then turn it off and lay there and think

[varun009]

wtf's whole-grain? is that the shit with nuts in it cause that really sucks! whole weat FTW!!!

[izurz]

gud luck =p

[C17policeforce]

Optional: Fuck it.

[fryal89]

@C17policeforce i agree withuu,,,,,,,,,:) :)

[u8qctph4]

that last fact just so happens to be true just about everywhere,for other countries.i mean ,like,don't we all have to do that once in a while??

[izurz]

this could be helpful for my french tests, i hate french >:-OOOOO

[varun009]

yeah! why cant we all just stick to fucking english!

[theurbanolive]

This is why I don't shit like this, I hate studying...

CHEAT, CHEAT, CHEAT!!!! lol

Cheat when you are desperate

[RemembeRemember]

There would be no need to cram if you just payed attention and studied.

[alexxbiznotch]

You obviously don't know what us honor students go through.

[RemembeRemember]

Actually I do. I learned that if I was always on top of my work and asked a lot of questions and studied as I went along through the chapters, I would never find myself cramming for tests because I knew the information already. If I didin't keep track of everything and didin't ask questions and study for every chapter then of course I would be cramming the night before the test.When I attended high school, I only had four courses a day. So, it wasn't too bad. College is a lot easier, for me.

[RemembeRemember]

College is easy because it's just about reading the text book, unless it's math, then it's a little trickier. When it comes to any math couse, you really have to pay extra attention in the beginning because you'll be using whatever basic stuff you learn in the beginning throughout the course and it only gets more and more difficult as you progress. But again, it's all about reading the text. Text books do a really good job with giving step by step examples and explanations.

[varun009]

thats how regular school is outside america i just moved to india (totally sucks) and here i dont go to most class and one month before the exams i just make notes not to study because studies show that when making notes you have to think about what you're writing which implants it in your brain

[zanessabiggestfan1]

how does it suck in india ?

is it fun?

do u like indians ?

[varun009]

1) its dirty people are fucking rude in the central buisness district (delhi) so many problems that they cannot be expressed withis 500 characters.

2)no. most indians are criket crazed jumped up psycotic morons that think the only way to be social requires a key board

3) some. the christian ones from kerela are nice and show good conduct but the rest suck.

if you wanna know more send me a pm

[munificent1000]

instead of focusing on the bad try showing the good , good idea right?

know how to walk in the streets right and you will see and not just christians are good, you got christians muslims buddha's and the rest of those elephant worshipping cow worshipping religions

just try to say good or dont say anythin...its a whole country ur talkin about

[RemembeRemember]

Why am I getting the thumbs down? Is it because I'm promoting the act of studying? lol. It's ok. Really though, I think we all know that learning is always easier if we spend a little extra time studying in advance, as apposed to the night before a test. Besides, who wants to be stressed right before a test? I don't. We store information in our long-term memory if we study things well. This is especially important for classes that pertain to our major, after that, cramming isn't too bad.

[MiniSpell]

I CHEAT ALL THE TIMEEE !!! ♥♥

[StudioStealth100]

Then you'll probably fail in life.

[Maskutza]

The other half lied.

[ikemkrueger]

0:34 I heard "healthy sex"! xDDDDDD

[Cheriosalways]

It would probably help! ;)

[kkyy23]

healthy snax!

[ikemkrueger]

I know that.. <.<

[bruslyman]

make a video about how to pop nasal pimples,i have one and its bugging the shit out of me

[SuperFunnyComedy]

jack daniels cup

[catapult59000]

Holy crap you just saved my career!

Thanks howcast.

Crap now I feel like a tool...

[quiznationrules]

You can't take a nap in school!

[Tressco]

Well, I assume then that at least half of the corporations cheat on anything...

[wtfisdaz]

actually for some of us,drawin ur notes or picturizin dem makes dem easier to remember

[NarutoMustDie12345]

if you havent noticed yet how cast....your NOT allowed to write in your text book

[shinychexmix]

you can in college because you have to buy the books, duh

[ZombieProductionz]

unless you buy the book.

[LordHines420]

aww maaan i wanted to watch her eat off that banana :(

[ilikecats62697]

why is she highlighting in the book?! you can do that?

[mandy00198]

You buy your books in college so yes you can

[keniammelo]

It´s better to learn, than cheat and never learn anything.

[frostythesn0wman]

I have a photographic memory...

[XxXEmirIXxX]

its better to cheat than to repeat

[thwipp]

you will need:

a willingness to blow the teacher after class for a passing grade

[thwipp]

you will need:

crank/speed

a willingness to cheat your ass off

and apparently a retarded star tattoo on your wrist!!

[MrKates]

My boyfriend was high before every exam he did.. And he didn't do half bad.

Weed is the answer, kids.

[stephuila]

you can't cram if you sleep for 8 hours =D

[MusicGiver2]

i cheated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

[coldfustion]

i had a few beers b4 my exam.. it helped.

[vicgran08]

The end of the video fact:

The other half of students who didn't admit to cheating and too ashamed to admit it. We all have cheated at least once in our scholastic life.

[nityjr]

Sad...

[veggiefreak28]

this is cramming? whoa lol, i do this for every test lmao.

[Alemap7]

Do we really have to sleep that much?

[Shawlia]

7-9 hours is best.

[Shrubbs]

LOL! I clicked on this to see what I can do to study for Biochemistry! She does too!

[certifiedjagga]

I usually cram by just reading and re-reading notes and textbook for about 4-5 hours. I usually get B's but I'm in all AP classes.

[LilHailey221]

Yeah...Which is also a good advice, too... That is...Once you're caught! It may not be that big of a deal to you if you're not a collage student, but if you are/were, you ought to know better than that. Getting caught cheating in collage will result in YOU getting kicked out. :P You're better off studying.

[KimInLosAngeles]

I read an article a few years ago that BLUE is the best color to highlight because it's the most comfortable color to eyes.

[btopishere]

NO WAI.

[KimInLosAngeles]

@ btopishere

Try it yourself.

I've been using light blue/sky blue & GREEN highlight pens for many years.

Blue & greens are really easy on the eyes.

[killwayne]

i remember green is the color that make you calm later. LOL cramming is not about relaxing

[KimInLosAngeles]

@ killwayne

I did not write anything about cramming.

The one & only thing I wrote is this:

blue & green are easy to the eyes so they are great for highlight pen.

Anyway, relaxing DOES help you to learn & recall better. So relaxing IS helpful, even if you are cramming.

[killwayne]

mmmhmm... totally agree.

[pboisei]

if you don't know how to cram for a test, your in trouble.

[houndoom1234]

how to take a test when your high

[thedancemetaltwins]

if everybody was jumping off the golden gate bridge bridge, you'd do that too? Be reasonable, please.

[DunWannaTellMyName]

thnx howcast. i'll surely try this the next time i have a test :)

[Shorty12456]

...................

[shino475]

lol yeah

[smhussain62]

Unbelievable. Education? O_o

[TheNeophyte13]

goes great with the alcohol video howcast just posted

[NocturnalBeing]

This could help for subjects that require mainly memorization but it wouldn't for subjects that require thinking and analyzing like math.

[Kaity11]

True

[B4YB3HM3SH]

Cool.

[miritkenny]

I hate science

[varun009]

screw you! >:)

[TheHoggzter]

[arteaga911]

[Supzer101]

[BlackUnicornRider]

I think they forgot the step where you look back and forth from left to right to remember things better!

:P

[CrosslerChoirNerd]
