For me it’s a big yes. In all my class, in order to succeed I must learn my lesson by heart. If I want an almost perfect grade in class like history, economical science or political science the only way to get it is to know the lesson and to know how to rewrite it well. There is some class where learning by heart is not really useful such as Maths or science because it’s more concrete. I don’t really have a lot of leisure time because in my country we’re almost all day at school (from 8 to 6pm almost everyday) and after school I have dance lessons. Back home I need to to all my school work + prepare for all my exams so no I don’t really have a lot of free time but this year I am going to try to have more balance beetween work and relax time.

I don't need to memorize much, because I'm learning to cook, the only thing I need is leisure time skills, which is also normal.

When I have exam I tried to remember as much as possible everything because if I only read and don't remember anything this is only wasting time. I personally believe to learn things by hearth is more useful and make you more successful with exam. For the question whether I have enough leisure time, my answear is no. I haven't free time plenty. This is an account for homeworks, exams and anything connect with school. For solution this problem the pupil's parents can talk with teachers. I think they can made some solutuion for students.

For me I say yes you have to learn all kinds of things from the heart in exams and it’s good thing because these information maybe wil be usefuel if you grew up like a sudden question somebody asks you you rember that uinformatiotion that you learnt from history exams or whatever exam it was

But it's not going to be every day somebody's asking you, "What year did the second world war start?" or, "How Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria assassinated?".
