Here’s the word used in a sentence:

She’s cramming for her history exam.

I have to cram for my chemistry test tomorrow.

Here’s the word used in a sentence from The Washington Post:

Cho Min-jun, a high school senior applying to study sociology, says the postponement allowed more time to cram, but also added to the pressure.
