Enhance your knowledge and improve your studying

'Cramming' is something that all students will be familiar with. It's the technique of stuffing as much information as possible into your head before an exam.

As a learning technique it's not very good because it doesn't foster understanding of a subject, merely recollection of facts and figures. Cram isn't all about that particular technique but is designed to test your knowledge and exam technique and get you ready for the big day. Cram is designed to both increase your knowledge while also testing you under real exam conditions.

The first thing to note is that Cram takes a multiple-choice approach. The first thing you'll need to do is download some study cards to test yourself with. For this you'll need to create a Cram account which you can do by clicking 'Test Portal'. You'll then be presented with over 2,000 different subjects to choose from. Double-click on one and it will automatically download to Cram. The subjects cover a huge range of areas from Maths to Spanish, and you can even search by topic and subject name.

Each test that you download consists of five questions in this demo version, although in the full version, presumably you get more. You can choose to view them either in 'Study' mode or in 'Test' mode. In Study mode, you can flip the cards over to reveal the answer. In Test mode, you get a multiple choice card where you have to pick one of four answers. At the end, you receive your grade with the correct answers highlighted on the ones you got wrong.

Cram is extremely easy to use and I love the fact that there are so many subjects available. However, some subjects - such as politics - have virtually no tests and the quality of tests very much depends on who uploaded them, since users can create their own. Some don't even feature multiple-choice answers because they haven't been completed properly. Over time, you can see how well or badly you've done with the 'History' button. This allows you to track your proguse.

There's no doubt that Cram is a handy learning application, especially for American students. Even for those that just want to test their knowledge, it's a lot of fun. Easy to use and with lots of tests to choose from, Cram is generally a pleasure to /b>

Softonic

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
