  FWIW I think exactly the same way. Since I was in high school I remember not studying a lot for the exams the day before. This was maybe a combination of me being lazy or uninterested and because I thought that whatever I did not know "by heart" at the time I won't learn in 5 hours. Still, I got out of HS quite fine, I got a BSc with highest GPA of my generation and went to do a PhD in Comp. Sci. Nowadays I have to do interviews quite often and I although I use some of the "programming riddles" (there is so much you can test in 1 hour phone interview) I usually try to "read" the most I can from the guy I am interviewing.

No, I think cramming in general is kind of silly. > I like to think of tests as "you either know it or you don't and if you try to game it you're cheating", but I'm probably just weird that way. Yep, that's almost exactly how I think about it.
