How you study for the upcoming Exam

I study the night before the exam.
I can concentrate more when I cram~

I really don't study for upcoming exams. I mostly rely on stock knowledge (what I remember, and what I heard in class lessons) and a few practices I commit to before an exam - such as sleep early and wake up early as well, do a light reading/skimming of subject material (refreshing memory) for a few minutes, then eat a good hearty breakfast and get to school early.

My mother always end up admonishing me for not studying at home, then says nothing when I get all A's. Bummer.

Research says that people perform the best while they study 24 hours before the exam. Study at night before you go to bed, your brain will repeat what you've learned and so on. After a good night's rest, the brain can easily remember all the material you just learned previously because it was the last thing you;ve seen before shutting down. Then I suggest cramming again for another hour before the test. This way, you'll get 100s almost all the time.
