Cramming for tests is ineffective because it disrupts the "spacing effect." This effect shows that learning is better when you study material in short, spread-out sessions over time, rather than one long session. This allows your brain to properly process and remember information.
To use the spacing effect, study in shorter sessions, review with tools like flashcards, and vary your study methods. Studying smarter, not harder, improves learning.
