cram sessions
Last-minute studying binges
Cram sessions are intensive study periods, typically right before an exam, when students attempt to absorb large amounts of material in a short time.
The approach prioritizes short-term memorization over deep learning: We pulled an all-night cram session before the final.
The term can extend to any rushed preparation: a last-minute cram session before the presentation.
