overcrammed

Stuffed beyond capacity

Overcrammed describes something packed beyond capacity or stuffed too full.

A suitcase can be overcrammed with clothes, a schedule overcrammed with appointments.

Students who have overcrammed for an exam have tried to absorb too much material in too little time, often counterproductively: I overcrammed and couldn't remember anything during the test.
