It helps little things, mostly it helps me recognise things in an exam. I can't reel anything off, but given the question I can most likely work it out then after thinking back.
I always thought cramming never worked but I somehow managed it for my previous exams and thought I done ok, but I'll wait for the results before I say anything for definite
yes. in both my first and second years of uni i attend maybe 15% of lectures, and just cram a month before the exams and am doing fine so far.. its more stressful but it works.

A month
Cramming is the two days before an exam! A month is basically a chilled out luxury holiday of revision
I always cram two days before. Before that nothing goes into my head. I reckon my brain can sense the urgency to learn so it starts to actually bother remembering!
There's nothing like cramming to the extent where you learn the last little bit as the exams officer/whatever is shouting "ALRIGHT QUIEETTT. Now, rows *your row* go into the hall" - That's last minute (Did that with my FP2 last chapter).
However, in terms of cramming 2 days before, yes, this works extraordinarily well for me, but I remembet **** all after the exams finished. Which is bad for subsequent modules...

yeh i agree cramming is done in a few days but in my case ive never seen the material before in my life so i find 1 months hard work makes up for the years doss..
For my previous exams it was just day before revision. Worked for most of my subjects but it just doesn't work for maths for me. But for my final A2s I'm not risking it. I've already started revising for most of my subjects bar maths.. So I'll have done about 1-2 weeks worth of revision which is loads for me.
