For those who have done SDP (Systems Development Project), they will have surely mastered the art of cramming. With no time to focus on any other subject, assignments are done the night before and notes are revised the day before an exam. This is perfect time management in this situation. Let me explain. If i spent 20-30 hours studying for subject x I may receive a D or an HD but compromise myself of sleep and then get run down for weeks. Whereas if i spent 6 hours studying for it, with 10 good quality hours of sleep i will also receive a D or an HD. This is because although i do not know as much as if i had studied for 20-30 hours, my ability to write well having had more sleep is significantly increased. Thus, using this theory, I can leave study to the day before an exam, have a good sleep and still receive the same mark. This time management allowed me to go to the beach on thursday and friday, roam the streets of sydney on the saturday night, work yesterday and now write this blog post 20 hours before my exam. That is the art of cramming.
