Also I have one question. I've always done reasonably well on exams by cramming on the last day (more like last night) when the pressure is extreme. That doesn't take away from the fact that I could have it right? Like I'm good at cramming something under pressure and vomiting it out the next day, but am also awful at something that would require regular periodic studying.

I'm no doctor, but what you're describing would be consistent with ADHD.

Thanks. I'll mention that when I talk to the doctor.

Sorry for the late reply, but as the other commentor pointed out, what you described is incredibly consistent with ADHD. There is a reason we are prone to procrastination! Definitely talk to your doctor or psych about what you experience.
