Self taught programmer here, with 38 years experience here (26 professionally)... This isn't good advice if you ask me. Last minute cramming or preparation will only stress you out more. Either you know and understand stuff, or you don't. The best way to go into this is calm and relaxed, armed with the knowledge and understanding you have. Stress is your number one enemy.

The best advice on revision and cramming I got was from high A-Level Physics teacher:

"Revision is for wimps"

I appreciate your input Jon. I do not entirely agree with you though.
Different styles work for different people. For some its last minute cramming that nets them the job (and they are very likely going to retain that information). While some people prefer take their time to let everything in.

Its really about the person and how he thinks. Both are right.
Have a good day :)
