Write about the phenomenon of cramming using your own words.

Before an exam, some students cram for it. Even if you’re a genius, you’ll have to do some revision. If the exam happens every year, you can revise by looking at past papers. Some things can be memorised or learnt (off ) by heart. But rote-learning is not sufficient for most subjects. It is also possible to use mnemonics. However, all things considered, the best idea is to bury yourself in your books and to study intensively until you know the subject inside out.
