“Anyone else of the opinion that it’s possible to overprepare?”

I over prepped for a Calc test and lost it, forgot everything then panicked, the day of the test.

Yes, it's a huge danger.

Yup. You either know the info or you don’t. Overstudying doesn’t do squat.

It is very easy to over prepare for a debate, and most people do.
They get so involved with just the facts and figures of their side of the issue or topic that they have a tendency to lose all mental flexibility.
ISSUE; Freedom of speech.
TOPIC inside that issue: is cussing OK.
The people who get fixated on a single topic have trouble adapting to the tangents that topic can take and still be part of the issue.
A good debater should be able to argue both sides of an issue to a successful conclusion, either pro or con.
In math (for me at least), I found it best just to know the constants, you will have to deal with, and let the variables do what they will according to the rules.
In debating; know the subject matter to the best of your ability, don’t sweat the details (people won’t remember them anyway).
In Math; know the the constants, deal with the variables as they come up.
