Also, let's be real, the type of cramming these students have to do is antithetical to long term retention. Most of the knowledge is still greatly reinforced in the job. Cramming for the test is a "first draft" for the rest of one's career, just as taking notes in lecture (also a bad idea btw) is first draft for preparing for the test.

Cramming isn't spaced repetition.

I would have thought that name "spaced repetition" explains why.
