Studying for an Exam on Shabbat

Question

I have an exam on Sunday on first aid material. Is it permissible for me to study on Shabbat? (I really enjoy the material, so I would read it just for fun even without the exam. However, for the exam, I need to remember more details than just casual reading.)

Answer

Hello, 

There is room for leniency, but a God-fearing person should be stringent.
