Where Learning Lasts, and Knowledge Becomes Power

Breaking the Cycle: From Cram → Pass → Forget

In college, one slogan echoed louder than any other: Cram. Pass. Forget. (CPF).

It was more than a saying — it was a trap. Students pushed through every semester, memorizing just enough to pass exams, only to forget everything once the new semester began.

By the time we reached our final years — when we were expected to design real-world solutions — most of us could barely recall 10% of what we had learned in the first years. The result? Good GPAs, but a fragile knowledge base. Mediocre projects. Missed opportunities.

I was no exception. I asked myself: Why do we fall into CPF? The answer was clear: the concepts felt too abstract and disconnected from real applications. With exams looming, the only option was to cram, regurgitate, and move on.

But I discovered something important: when I explained those same concepts to classmates — connecting theory to simple examples and real problems — they suddenly became simple, practical, and even exciting. The problem wasn’t the material — it was how it was taught and related to real life.

That realization changed everything. If students everywhere were struggling with CPF, why not create a platform to break the cycle? A place where engineering concepts are explained clearly, tied to real problems, and made impossible to forget.

That’s how Hultralabs.com was born — not just as a blog, but as a mission:
