"Cramming" has its pros and cons.
Pro - the adrenaline rush you experience while cramming may actually help retention of the material. Things observed/learned in high-adrenaline situations tend to stick with you.
Con - Most people do not retain a lot of "crammed" material, because of the stress and fatigue. Your brain doesn't have time to re-organize and process the information, and you lose your motivation to do so after the test.
Pro - You can put it off until the last minue.
Con - You don't learn it as well, and sometimes you're just regurgitating facts rather than demonstrating a true "knowledge" of your subject.

That depends on what you're studying.
If you're studying some little thing that depends on rote memorization, then yeah, late study probably is best.
If you're studying anything that requires in-depth understanding, or if you're working on a big project with multiple steps to it, then last minute study is potentially a recipe for disaster.
In general, I feel that even if you can get away with "cramming" in the short term, you don't retain the information as well over the long run. You might get decent grades, but you won't be as prepared to deal with future classes, or future life.

Well you do not have to revise in a last minute study. On the other hand you do not have time to understand it completely either. You probably will skipp unnecessary details in last minute study. You may end up missing the conceptual details if asked in a complicated manner. It works best if you know the subject already then just quickly review in last hour.

If it starts earlier the youngster has a ideas of their own to be disobedient, then the youngster will flow to the mother and dad for his or her important judgements first, rather of being manipulated through undesirable friends. Overstrict mum and dad that are abusive are yet another tale altogether. In this variety of case the advice of acquaintances would help some, or perchance a instructor and so on. commonly a baby gravitates to one make sure because the different is too strict. Being a make sure isn't any piece of cake. i'm particular of that. if you're a lady and your mum and dad are proscribing how late you'd be out, what are they fearful of? drugs, sexual impression, being accosted, and so on. those type of oldsters understand it only takes ONE time for something undesirable to happen and it ought to smash your finished existence. though, toddlers ought to advance up. verbal change with mum and dad is mandatory. Having sturdy trust with them helps the youngster make extra ideal judgements. don't be so strict that your baby received't divulge to you because of worry of being punished. trust and understand ought to flow at the same time.

Nothing like the pressure of a deadline to keep procrastinators like myself working very effectively! Working at the last minute is time-crunching, exuberant and exhilarating!
