There has been lots written on learning strategies but one thing we are rather certain of is that cramming is usually the worst way to retain information (if you want to learn it well). You can even read about funky neuronal reasonings for that argument if you are interested.

That said, you can't optimize for everyone simultaneously. There's plenty of cramming-friendly resources available.
