1. Study Alone

　　Unless you've got a couple of friends who are super-serious about getting down to business, stay away from group study sessions because they tend to get off-topic pretty quickly. Save the social time till after you've handed in your test.

　　1.獨(dú)自學(xué)習(xí)

　　除非你有幾個學(xué)習(xí)態(tài)度超級認(rèn)真的朋友，否則請遠(yuǎn)離小組學(xué)習(xí)。因為這些人很快就會偏離主題。可以在考試結(jié)束后進(jìn)行社交活動。

　　2. Create Your Perfect Study Area

　　The place where you study should be quiet, comfortable and free from distractions. Go to your room, close the door and kill as many distractions as possible - like music, television, and even the internet and your phone. If you don't have your own room that you can sneak away to, consider studying at the library instead.

　　2.營造完美的學(xué)習(xí)環(huán)境

　　學(xué)習(xí)環(huán)境應(yīng)保證安靜、舒適、不受打擾。回到房間后，把門關(guān)上并盡可能地消除諸如音樂、電視節(jié)目、甚至是互聯(lián)網(wǎng)和手機(jī)等一切令你分心的因素。如果你沒有獨(dú)立學(xué)習(xí)的房間，那么，可以考慮在圖書館自習(xí)。

　　3. Get it All Out

　　Your study materials, that is. Before you dig in, make sure you have all your books, notes, study guides and writing utensils in front of you. Don't give yourself another excuse to get up and rummage around.

　　3.做好全部準(zhǔn)備

　　也就是說，準(zhǔn)備好你的學(xué)習(xí)資料。開始學(xué)習(xí)之前，確保所有的書、筆記、學(xué)習(xí)指南和書寫工具擺在桌上。不給自己起身和翻找的借口。

　　4. Turn Your Notes into Flash Cards

　　Now that you've got all your notes in front of you, open up a pack of index cards. As you read through the important facts, rewrite them in Q&A form on the cards. For instance: to study historical facts, write the historical fact on one side of the card and the key details on the other side. To study geometry formulas, right the name of the formula on one side and the formula itself on the other side.

　　4.把筆記轉(zhuǎn)為記憶卡

　　現(xiàn)在，把所有筆記擺在面前，然后打開一包索引卡。將瀏覽到重要內(nèi)容，以問答形式將抄寫在卡片上。例如，要學(xué)習(xí)歷史事件，可以在卡的一面寫上歷史事實(shí)，在另一面寫出關(guān)鍵細(xì)節(jié)。要學(xué)習(xí)幾何公式，可以在卡的一面寫上公式名稱，在另一面寫上公式內(nèi)容。

　　5. Snack Healthy While You Study

　　If you want to stay sharp while you study, stay away from junk food. Instead, snack on studying-friendly foods like dark leafy greens, whole grains, peanut butter, milk and seafood. Feeling sluggish? Caffeine or energy drinks won't help you in the long run. Get your energy boost instead by eating a banana or an apple.

　　5.學(xué)習(xí)期間可食的健康小食

　　盡可能地遠(yuǎn)離垃圾食品，才能保持高效的學(xué)習(xí)狀態(tài)。相反，例如黑葉蔬菜、全谷物、花生醬、牛奶和海鮮一類的小食，可以助你實(shí)現(xiàn)高效學(xué)習(xí)。感覺疲憊？從長遠(yuǎn)來看，咖啡因或能量飲料似乎都無濟(jì)于事。但是，你可以選擇吃香蕉或蘋果來補(bǔ)充能量。

　　6. Narrow it Down

　　If you try to study every single thing your teacher's ever said, you'll go crazy. Instead, focus on the most important topics. If you're not sure what those are, read the study guide (if there is one), or ask your classmates. Once you've nailed down the important stuff, if there's still time left before the test, you can move onto the finer details.

　　6.鎖定重點(diǎn)

　　如果去研究老師所說的每項內(nèi)容，那你肯定會瘋掉。相反，你只需鎖定最重要的內(nèi)容。若無法確定這些內(nèi)容，請閱讀學(xué)習(xí)指南（如有）或詢問同學(xué)。一旦鎖定了復(fù)習(xí)重點(diǎn)，（如果測試之前還有時間，）便可進(jìn)行更細(xì)致的復(fù)習(xí)。

　　7. Take a Break

　　Your brain can only take so much hard work at one time. For every hour that you study, take about 15 minutes to do something mindless, like taking a walk, listening to music or playing a computer game. (You can even take a 15-minute nap, if you're confident you can wake yourself up at the end of it.) It'll keep your stress level down and give your brain a chance to let all that information sinks in.

　　7.休息片刻

　　人的大腦一次只能承擔(dān)有限的工作。因此，每學(xué)習(xí)一小時，你需要給自己15分鐘左右的放松時間。你可以散步、聽音樂或者玩一會兒電腦游戲。（你甚至可以打個盹，如果你有信心十五分鐘后喚醒自己。）這么做有助于舒緩壓力，讓全部信息有機(jī)會轉(zhuǎn)化為大腦記憶。

　　8. Put Yourself to the Test

　　Once you've got your set of flash cards, test yourself with them. If you don't trust yourself not to cheat, give the cards to your parents and have them test you. Don't stop till you've made it through the whole stack without any mistakes. And be sure to bring your flash cards to school with you on the day of the test: you'll be amazed at how much more you can retain if you run through the cards right before your teacher hands out the test packet.

　　8.測試自己

　　有了自己的記憶卡，就可以用這些卡片測試自己了。如果認(rèn)為自己自制力不足，無法排除作弊的可能，那么，可以把卡片交給父母，讓他們測試自己。要不斷進(jìn)行測試，直到你能夠準(zhǔn)確無誤地答出每張卡片的內(nèi)容。此外，考試當(dāng)天務(wù)必攜帶這些記憶卡：如果你能在發(fā)卷之前，復(fù)習(xí)一遍記憶卡，那么你一定會驚訝，自己竟然記住了這么多要點(diǎn)。

　　9. Get Some Sleep

　　You might be tempted to pull an all-nighter, but if you do, you'll only be hurting your chances of getting an A. Get a full 8 hours of sleep so your brain is in good shape on test day.

　　9.保障睡眠時間

　　通宵不睡，只會影響你得到A的機(jī)會。因此，保障8小時的睡眠時間，能夠使大腦在考試時處于良好狀態(tài)。

　　10. Study All Semester Long

　　It's tempting to hold off on studying till the last minute, especially if you tell yourself that anything you try to memorize earlier on won't really stay in your brain. That's not true. Take some time throughout the semester to review all of your notes and re-read important passages in your text book. It might seem tedious, but it'll really keep all those facts in your brain on test day.

　　10.持續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)整個學(xué)期

　　懶惰到最后一分鐘再復(fù)習(xí)，這種想法十分誘人。尤其暗示自己，之前努力記憶的內(nèi)容，考試時不會一直停留在腦海。但是，事實(shí)并非如此。本學(xué)期，你需要抽出一些時間復(fù)習(xí)所有的筆記、重讀課本的重要段落。雖然，這些步驟看似乏味,但的確能夠使你考試時仍能記憶這些內(nèi)容。
