Presented by : Group 4
II. INTRODUCTION
Cramming is a study method where you try to learn
a bunch of stuff in a short time, usually just before
a test or exam. Instead of spreading out your study
time, you try to pack everything into your brain all
at once. People often cram when they haven't
prepared enough beforehand, but it can be
stressful and not very effective in the long run.

AND DISCUSSION:
Survey: Impact on Grades:
We asked 100 students about their study Out of the cramming students, 60% said
habits before exams. they got lower grades than expected.

Results:
75 students admitted to cramming before
exams, which is 75% of the surveyed
students.
Discussion:
Cramming might seem like a quick fix, but it
often leads to stress and lower grades.
Students struggle to remember information
long-term when they cram.
 DATA ANALYSIS AND
V. INTERPRETATION:
Based on our observations, we noticed that most
students who cram before exams end up with lower
grades. This means that those who study regularly
tend to perform better than those who leave all
their studying for the last minute. Also, students who
cram often feel stressed and anxious, which can
affect their mental well-being. So, it's clear that
cramming isn't the best way to study if you want to
do well in school.
 VI. RECOMMENDATIONS
TEACHING EFFECTIVE CREATING A SUPPORTIVE
STUDY HABITS: MANAGING STRESS:
ENVIRONMENT:

Schools can teach students
how to manage their time well,
use study techniques that work
for them, and stay consistent
with their learning. This means
showing them how to organize
their study materials, make
study schedules, and use
resources effectively.
Parents and teachers should
create a supportive
atmosphere where students
feel comfortable asking for
help. This includes being
available to answer questions,
offering tutoring or extra help,
and giving encouragement and
praise.
Schools should teach students
how to manage stress and take
care of their well-being. This
could involve offering
counseling services, teaching
relaxation techniques like deep
breathing or mindfulness, and
encouraging students to take
breaks and rest when needed.

INVOLVING PARENTS :
Parents can also play a big role in helping their children succeed academically. They can show support by being
involved in their child's education, providing encouragement, and creating a good study environment at home.
 VI. CONCLUSION
In conclusion, the prevalence of cramming among students
highlights the need for proactive measures to promote effective
study habits and mitigate the negative impact on academic
performance and well-being. By prioritizing consistent studying,
providing support systems, and fostering a conducive learning
environment, educators and parents can empower students to
succeed academically and thrive in their educational journey.
Ultimately, by addressing the root causes of cramming and
promoting a culture of regular study habits, we can help students
achieve their full potential and set them up for long-term
success.
