Laurentian University students who are currently studying for exams can take comfort in knowing two out of three Canadian students (68 percent) start studying for exams no more than a week in advance, with 25 percent starting as little as three days before.
The survey, conducted by Ipsos-Reid for Kumon Math and Reading Centres, found one-third of university students consider themselves to be
?crammers,? which most students themselves (62 percent) define as last-minute studying ? whether it?s a few hours before, the night before, a day before or up to three days before an exam.
?What comes through in this survey is that students are juggling a lot of priorities - family, jobs and social life, as well as school work. It?s easy to see how studying can get left to the last minute,? says Donna McGhie-Richmond, educational specialist with Kumon Math and Reading Centres.
