If you can comprehend easily, then it's no longer cramming

Stargirl that's why you need a dictionary, if you can't afford the hard copy, you can download it on your smartphone.

The truth is; cramming is just temporary knowledge, after it has been used it erases and whenever it's needed again, you'll have to cram again which is stressful.

But when you comprehend whatever you're studying, it sticks to your brain for a long period of time.

I wouldn't advise you to cram my sister, you don't have to read in a haste, take your time, understand each sentence/paragraph, if you don't understand the meaning of a word, the dictionary is your friend.

Reading novels will also help in growing your vocabulary, the more novels you read, the more word power you have.

Please don't cram, during the examination or test if you forget a particular word you crammed, it's over. But if you understand the concept, you can get a suitable replacement for that word.

In a study group, you discuss with your peeps and in this was you hardly forget what you discussed with friends instead of just reading.

I wont advice cramming always,if you get used to it,it will surely affect you later
I had lot of friends who did well by cramming but later crashed ,because of topics that required more than cramming like math,you cant cram calculations nah,

But seeing that you are not really a fast learner,i would advice you to dedicate or should i say sacrifce your time when reading so that grabbing the concept will not be difficult.
Because when you understand a concept ,memorizing the facts will come cheap.selah
Re: . by Stargurl20(f): 6:19pm On Feb 17, 2019
thanks ...I really do appreciate it

then you dont need to resort to craming,
Only cram when you have understood the concept,so that you can leave the examiner wondering why you gave them their making scheme.
