Introduction
particularly in senior high school levels, where students are preparing for higher
education or career opportunities. One of the commonly adopted study strategies among
students is cramming, which involves studying intensively for a short period before an
strategy for learning and retention. Furthermore, cramming may lead to negative
The current study aims to investigate the correlation between cramming and
academic performance among Grade 12 students. The study focuses on determining the
extent of cramming practices among students, the factors that contribute to cramming,
This study is important to investigate as it can provide valuable insights into the
By examining the extent of cramming practices and the factors that contribute to it,
educators can't develop effective interventions and strategies to help students adopt more
cramming on academic performance can help students make more informed decisions
about their study habits and improve their academic performance in the long term.

Teachers play a crucial role in shaping students' academic success. Understanding the
impact of stress and cramming on students' academic performance can help teachers
develop effective teaching strategies that promote learning and minimize stress levels.
Teachers can also use the findings of this study to help students develop effective study

policies and interventions that promote academic success while minimizing stress levels.
The study can inform the development of programs that provide students with resources
and support to manage stress levels and develop effective study habits.
Future Researchers
This research can lay the groundwork for future studies on the relationship
between stress, cramming, and school performance. Future researchers can base the
findings of this study on investigating the effects of stress and forcing oneself to learn
information quickly on overall academic performance. Teachers can also use the results
of this study to help students develop effective study habits and manage stress levels.

levels and schools in different settings. The research will only rely on self-reported data
from the students, which may be subject to response biases. The study will not be able to
establish causality between cramming and academic performance due to the correlational
nature of the research design. The study may also face limitations in terms of sample size
and representativeness, as well as the availability of academic records for all participants.
