How to use the word "cramming"

You do cramming for an exam/test (in the UK) rather than the subject so I would say. I'm cramming for my English exam tonight.

If we were studying the subject without an exam we would say revising.

I am not sure how cramming is used in America so I would wait to hear from somebody there. I think it is more often used there.

Hi,



I never hear the word 'cramming' here in Canada.

To me, in the UK, it sounds faintly old-fashioned. I am not sure if students nowadays would use the word.

Granted, my college career has been over for a couple decades, but we crammed FOR exams as well. You try to learn and memorize as much as possible before the test.

I wouldn't say "I crammed chemistry," but I'd say "I'm cramming for my chemistry final."

Hi,

I think I saw a job vacancy adverised on the Forum recently.

They were looking for an English teacher for 'a cram school' in, I think, China.
