If you do that however as well as, ignore practice exams, and blow off outlining (something that is not required, but all students do.) You will get slaughtered by your final exams which count for 90-100% of the class.

I find it interesting that in one of the classes-- the professor had supplied the past three midterm exams. They were VERY similar. Different data sets, different case, but for the most part they were the same problems. The professor even allows folks to bring in a crib sheet-- you can put WHATEVER you want on this crib sheet (front and back). Some people still chose to NOT review the past years midterms, did not prepare a good crib sheet (the professor is honest in this regard-- he says the preparation of a crib sheet is actually one of the best study tools ever as you are preparing your crib sheet you are actually studying) and those people ended up not doing well on the exams.
