Talk about when you crammed for the test.

 

Back in my school years, I was always cramming for tests. During the week before exams, I barely got any sleep.

I did my studies all at once. It was exhausting, but it became a habit.

 

I knew I should have studied every day, but I kept getting distracted by other things.

Cramming is partially effective.

 

I have a strong memory, so my test scores were not too bad.

However, the problem was that I forgot a lot right after the test.

 

Even as an adult, I haven't been able to kick the habit.

When I got my driver's license, I crammed for the written test.

 

I also stayed up all night for a certification test at work.

I will have to try harder to stop procrastinating.
