>>11138335I specifically mean leisurely studying for the whole semester, and then cramming right before each exam. Once or twice a day take a minute or two to discuss or review or talk about what you learned that day, and then use the exam cram to review what you've already been studying at a lazy pace for weeks.
You can't consolidate everything in a night, but you can totally recall that thing you learned once, then repeated a few times.
This, by the way, is what homework is supposed to be.
