Cramming for exams and crashing

The human memory is not unlike your PC –open too many apps, overload the short-term memory and it will crash. Now is the time for a defrag. Link any new information you are revising with existing information. For example, do not learn 4 new quotes from Hamlet in isolation - instead show how these quotes support and back up your points on Hamlet’s madness.
Save your short-term memory for the night before the exam.
