Cram is when a person studies really hard right before an exam. It comes from the idea of cramming knowledge into a person's brain in order for them to remember it better when taking the test.
Cramming is a common behavior for procrastinators who wait until the last moment to study and/or brainiacs who are nervous about not getting an A+ on the test. It usually requires a person to stay up late at night, which is actually proven to make people perform worse on tests since they aren't rested for the exam.
