The test is tomorrow, so you should stay up all night to study—right? Teach middle and high schoolers that cramming is not the answer with a short video on studying for exams. It covers ways to address possible constraints on studying, including setting up a schedule, establishing a study space that replicates test conditions, creating a cheat card even for exams that don't allow them, and explaining confusing concepts to another person (or, in this case, a rubber duck).
