Grade grinding is a term used to define the act of studying for excruciatingly long periods for the purpose of getting a small increase in marks for any assessment/exam, etc.

Often means foregoing eating, socializing, and sleeping for the tiny incremental increase in grade.

Frequently requires the remembering of menial things such as dates, numbers, etc.

David: Sorry, I was up grade grinding till 3am. I've got a damn calculus test today and I've got 14 formulae to have memorized.
