This reminds me of some of the best learning advice I ever received. It came from my A-Level Physics teacher:

He meant essentially that any amount of last minute cramming, or just trying to stuff your head with information that you didn't fully take the time to really understand - is completely futile.

Learn by doing - it's the key to understanding
