Step 1: Choose the right environment
Choose an environment for studying where you will be free from distractions including phone calls, television, or other interruptions.
第一步：選擇合適的環境
選一個適合學習的環境，在那里你不會被諸如電話，電視或其他活動所打擾而分心。

Step 2: Prioritize your studies
Prioritize your study materials so that the most important or the hardest is finished first.
第二步：將學習內容排下次序
將學習內容排序以便先學習最重要的和最難的內容。

Step 3: Read for comprehension
Read your materials over once for basic comprehension. Don’t stress about remembering it all on the first read.
第三步：通過閱讀來理解
將學習內容讀一遍先有個基本的了解。不要強調讀第一遍就能記住。

Step 4: Read and take notes
Read the material again, taking notes and summarizing the main ideas in your own words.
第四步：閱讀并做筆記
再讀一遍，做筆記并用你自己的話將要點總結出來。

Tip:Make new material stick by relating it to something you already know or care about. Context and emotion enhance our ability to remember.
小貼士：學新的內容要將它與你已經知道的或是關注的內容聯系起來。內容和情感能增強我們的記憶能力。

Step 5: Use you senses
Use your senses to assist with learning. When possible, don’t just read, but listen to lectures or podcasts, and watch instructional videos. Build a rich understanding of the material.
第五步：利用感官來學習
利用感官來幫助學習。如果可能的話，不要只是讀，去聽聽演講或播客，或是看教學視頻。這樣會對學習內容會有多樣的理解。

Step 6: Quiz yourself
Quiz yourself without the aid of any notes. Write down your answers or speak them aloud. In other words, rehearse for the test.
第六步：自測
在不看筆記的情況下自測。將你的答案寫下來或是大聲說出來。換言之，為考試演練。

Tip:Take a nap after a heavy study session to allow your brain time to rest. Napping after studying can help with recall.
小貼士：在刻苦學習一段時間后可以打下盹，留些時間讓大腦休息下。學習后小睡下能幫助記憶。

Step 7: Test yourself again
Test yourself again and again, at different times of the day and week. This “self-testing” will reinforce your studies so that when the real test arrives, you’ll be ready.
第七步：再次測試自己
在一周或一天的不同時間要反復測試自己。這種自測會鞏固你的學習，當真的考試到來時，你會準備充分。
