Why Students Cram for Exams

Today's faculty focus is discussing about why students cram for exams. According to the research, approximately 45 percent of student admitted to cramming. The resesarch pointed out that many currently used assessment strategies promote cramming. However, there is no proof of the certain testing format promoting cramming more than another, although researchers concerned that multiple-choice is the one. Indeed, any test methods that required strong memory would unconsciously encourage students cramming for tests. Project-based learning would be a better alternative, when the formmative assessment is strongly recommended.
