final exams are the most hectic time of the year. It is amazing how many cram before an exam. A whole semester worth of material crammed in two or one day prior to the exam. It is more amazing when some people recieve really good grades while the majority of people bomb the exam. As a science major, it is incredibly hard to cram before an exam. As the class level raises, the material becomes more specific and detailed. It is incredibly hard for me to cram before an exam as there is so much detailed information it is hard to retain them for a long period of time. Especially in chemistry, it is difficult as you have to memorize chemicals and the different orientations of those chemicals and how it reacts in the body. I noticed that entry level or even biology classes are easier to cram for. The information is just memorization and recall. Higher-level chemistry classes demands memorization but also application. The tests consist of application questions and real life scenarios and thorugh the class information, we have to explain why certain scenarios happen. While biology classes are mutliple choice and its mainly recall. I admit that tehre ar some hard biology classes that demand more than just memorization, but for th emost part from my experiernce, it is mostly needs good memorizing skills
