Concrete Study Habits

Yes it will. but if you study a lot yet without concentration then its no good. You don't have to be so fast but what is important that you are really concentrating on what you are trying to learn.

I'm not a nerd or something. In fact, I'm one of those people who crams (depending on the subject) and doesn't usually study. But based from the past teachers that I had, the most important thing is TIME MANAGEMENT. You have to carefully manage your time and as much as possible make your own schedule of the things that you do so that you'll be guided accordingly. Also, I've read that cramming won't really work since you can't put many information on your head in just a matter of short time. What's important is that you study everyday so that your mind will able to absorb all those infos. :))

Well it only depends upond your understanding and grasping power. Bill gates says the person who studies just one night before the test will gain the tactical skills an engineer should possess. But it only depends on how comfortable you feel with your studies. You can start studying little by little everyday or wait for the Exam eve :)

Of course! logically, a person who study regularly or have a fixed allotted time everyday to study, learns more than a person who study only if he likes to, which is I think not more than the time spent by the first person. I do not have a concrete study plan when I was in college, but I did review my lessons before the exams. Luckily, I graduated with flying colors.
