When it's time to prepare for an exam, many students like to study by rereading their textbooks and notes. However, doing so may actually be a waste of time.

到了要準備考試的時候,很多學生喜歡反覆研讀教科書和筆記。然而,這麼做事實上可能是浪費時間。

 

According to a recent study, reading the same material over and over is not an effective study method. This is because you get most of the useful information from a text during your first reading of it. The second time around, your mind tells you that you know the information already. This makes you pay less attention to what you're reading.

根據最近的一項研究顯示,反覆閱讀相同的資料不是一個有效的學習方式。這是因為在你第一次閱讀課文時就獲得大部分有用的資訊了。到了第二次,腦子會告訴你你已經知道那些資訊。這會使你對正在讀的東西較不專注。

 

A good strategy is to create questions about the material that you're studying and then try to answer them. If you're learning about a war, ask yourself where and when it took place and how it started. Your textbooks may include such questions already, but you can make up your own questions if you need more practice. Even if you don't get all the answers right, the process of asking and answering will make you think more deeply about what you're studying.

 

一個的策略是設計跟你所學習的資料有關的問題然後試著回答。如果你正在學的是一場戰爭,就問自己戰爭發生的地點和時間,以及是怎麼開始的。你的教科書可能已包括這樣的問題,但如果你需要更多練習,可以自己出題。就算你沒有全答對,這個問與答的過程會使你更深入思考你所研讀的內容。
