Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Cram"

A: It's a rather crude way of saying he'd pass but barely pass. I assume it's talking about taking an exam.

A: It can mean 2 things:

1. To force an object into a box or container (or some kind of space), even though it barely fits.
>Some of my books are bent because I crammed all the books into one box.

2. (Slang) To study intensely for a test
This is usually used the night before a test. If you haven't studied at all, and need to learn everything quickly, you could say "I stayed up all night to cram for the test."

Hope that helps!

A: It depends. Usually:

1. To study intensely the day before a test

2. To force a lot of items into a box/container / To force a relatively large item into a relatively small container

A: Cram school is a school that prepares students for their specific goals, like passing state exams and so on. “Cramming” means study hard or study lots of subjects in a short time.

A: "cram" means to do (study) as much as possible in a short amount of time

A: To stuff something is to fill it to its limit, but not beyond what it was made for. To cram something into a container is to forcibly fill the container beyond its normal limits (or to study a lot in a short time, filling your brain beyond its normal limits.) To jam something is to make it get stuck, especially a space that's too small for it.

A: They seem the same. To put too many things into a small place. And more often you can interchange them than you can't.

◇ The main difference is "how":

• to squach ==
= to "push" items into a space.
• to cram ==
= to arrange items into a space so they leave the least empty room as possible between them. (Like Tetris)

◇ So,
• I can’t squash any more in the case.
→ I can't add one more thing. I have to sit on the case to close it or I need some help to.

• I’ll have to cram all my clothes into this small case.
→ I will have to estrategically place clothes in the case. I must not leave rroom in between items.

◇ You can either squash either cram things even if the space is not full.
▪︎I have been cramming things in the boot of the car to leave some space for your suitcases.

or

or
I was happy that they look less nervous and were making an effort to understand my lesson.
