That might be true for you, but certainly not for me. I
have taken thousands
of tests over my lifetime (military, college, FAA). I
consider myself very
good at taking tests and I can't think of once that I have
failed to profit from
last-night and even last-minute preparation.


I envy your abilities. :-)

Thanks, but I don't think that I have any special abilities.

I will say this: The items that I tend to study at the last minute are
probably the things that I will NOT be able to reliably recite two weeks after
the test. Passing a test is not proof that you will retain a satisfactory
percentage of the material, it is only proof that you passed the test.

Experts (?) in this area say that to remember something long term it should
be reviewed something like weekly for a month, then monthly, for a year,
and then yearly.
