why shouldn’t you cram for a skills test?

As a test date approaches, many people ask themselves, why shouldn’t you cram for a skills test? The answer lies in the very nature of what a skills test measures. Unlike traditional exams, which may only require the recall of information, skills tests evaluate your ability to apply what you know. Cramming, which often focuses on last-minute memorization, doesn’t provide the time or depth needed to truly understand and apply the concepts being tested.
