Studying smarter,not longer,matters now more than ever,with students in many countries having to manage their time and study more on their own. 1 The good news:Science points to ones that really work.
Use pictures.Pay attention to drawings,graphics,charts and other visual aids in your class materials,psychologist Mark McDaniel says.“ 2 And if there aren’t pictures,creating them can be really,really useful.”
Find examples.Abstract concepts can be hard to understand.It tends to be far easier to form a mental image if you have a concrete example of something,psychologist Cynthia Nebel says.For instance,sour foods usually taste that way because they contain an acid. 3 But if you think about a lemon or vinegar,it’s easier to understand and remember that acids and sour go together.
4 Psychologist Nate Komell “definitely did cram(临时抱佛脚)” before big tests when he was a student.He still thinks it’s a good idea to study the day before a big test.But research shows it’s a bad idea to cram all your studying into that day.Instead,allow time between study sessions and you’ll learn and remember material better.
Dig deeper.It’s hard to remember a string of facts and figures if you don’t push further.Ask why things are a certain way.How did they come about Why do they matter Psychologists call this elaboration.“It’s asking a lot of how and why questions about it,” Nebel says. 5

A.Reread books and notes.
B.Space out your studying.
C.They really boost your memory of the material.
D.Yet many students have never learned those skills.
