question 40

True/False

John spends ten hours studying for a test, and he spreads those ten hours over several days. Julie spends ten hours studying for the same test, but she studies all ten hours the day before the test. Because they spent an equal amount of time studying, they should get about the same scores on the test (assuming they are students of equal ability).
