Why do you have to cram in uni? Can't you just put consistent effort throughout the year like in VCE? or do you only get told just before the exam what its going to be about so your forced to cram? i dont get it

Well our exam timetables aren't released in the beginning of the year like VCE, they're released like 4 weeks before and some people have theres like 4 days in a row (which i'd say is much more common in Uni than VCE)

We have MSTs or assignments to stay on top of which tend to be due just before swotvac, and we only have one week swotvac where we have only just finished covering our 34 lectures of the semester and like 3 lectures we have just learned and need to memorise quickly.

There are a lot of reasons why people cram in Uni.. some just don't care about grades and are just looking to pass so they don't put as much effort throughout the semester (lazy college senior meme), some have a lot of commits that they have to meet such as work, socializing, extracurricular activities, etc. so studying consistently usually isn't an option due to their hectic schedules and sometimes it's because the course finishes late and there isn't enough time to prepare.

Oh I forgot to add that what's worse about uni is your exams count more, like 75%

Also a lot of people do tutoring and sometimes it can be hard to manage time

Wow Uni seems like hell.. you don't get to hear this side of Uni.. it's usually always the social aspects that you hear.. Luckily i'm taking a gap year so hell awaits in 2014.
Uni is alright for the most part, assignment period and exam period are the worst times. Otherwise it's pretty fun and chill :)

Why do you have to cram in uni? Can't you just put consistent effort throughout the year like in VCE? or do you only get told just before the exam what its going to be about so your forced to cram? i dont get it
So naive.... :P There isn't much incentive to study throughout the semester unless you have to get HDs/H1s, there's so much more you can do and most of the stuff at uni isn't compulsory. Hence, assignment time the night before most students start freaking out and actually start the assignments haha. Exam period is worse. Again depending on your motivations, you could study during the swotvac or just cram the day/night before the exam. But in the end it depends on the person and the subject imo.

I go to TrueTears and tell him whats up, and hes like 'yeah just go to sleep'.
this guy's cheeky as shit i learned today. he wants to rule the world, and i didn't realise he just wanted to get me out of the way so there's less competition.


HAHAHAHAH. Brah, trust.


@OP.  DO FUN THINGS FOR 1 DAY, like super dooper fun stuff (that isn't academic based) and then you'll have some more motivation ;D Watching those motivational vids on youtube helps sometimes as well. For example, after this week of exams, I'm going full on muzztek at some guys 18th (On the Friday of exam week).

PROTIP GUYS: Even if you're nerdy/don't fit in with 'cool' people, bust a nut on the dance floor (at a party, that is) and you'll be motivated (to do anything)  for 10 weeks. Trust me. OHYEAH, DON'T DRINK THOUGH. Ppl who drink a lot are noobfags. They end up ruining the night for almost everyone.

I don't even know why I'm typing so much random crap.

LOL it's probably because I'm bored of studying too =((((((((

Oh so its more of a tendency that uni students cram because of more committments,etc . I get it

Also: I  think taiga/someone babe said something along the lines of "Less expectations, more work".
