Instead, students should take 15 or 30 minutes here and there to study, a few times a day, even when exams seem on the distant horizon. This will not only be easier to schedule, (between classes, at lunch, etc), it will also help one to better remember (and actually learn) the material come test time.
An effective way to do this with simpler material is to write terms or questions on note cards, then carry those note cards around and glance at them throughout the day. Studying in chunks, over the long-haul, may mean that students only need to review the material the night before for about an hour (or a little more for maximum points!).
