This is all too true ... (borrowed from the facebook page of a friend of mine)

Academic Bulimia-
The process of learning or memorizing by rote, subsequently followed by the regurgitation of that knowledge onto an exam answer sheet. Just as with the serious eating disorder, this form of bulimia results in no real retention of substance.
I can't remember anything that I learned last night. It's like I grabbed the answer sheet, puked out all the answers and forgot everything immediately. I'd say that's academic bulimia.

At times, this is truly what it feels like. However, academic bulimia was much more common in high school for me ... what can I say, I'm a product of public education and standardized testing!?!
