1.退出社交軟件
Social media is electronic ADHD. It will sink a cram session like an elephant in a row boat. Furthermore, Kim Kar? dashian won’t tweet anything in the next 50 minutes to improve your geometry grade. Texting, Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, Pinterest, etc., are great, but take a break to cram for exams.
社交媒體會(huì)一直分散你的注意力。就像大象坐在劃艇上一定會(huì)沉下去,它一定會(huì)把復(fù)習(xí)搞砸。而且,金·卡戴珊在接下來(lái)的50分鐘內(nèi)不會(huì)發(fā)布任何幫助你提高幾何成績(jī)的推特。短信、臉書(shū)、推特、Gmail、Pinterest都是很不錯(cuò)的軟件,不過(guò)還是讓它們休息一下,專(zhuān)心備戰(zhàn)考試吧。
2.打開(kāi)計(jì)時(shí)器
Cramming is about finding a good rhythm. We recommend a 50/10 split:50 minutes studying, 10 minutes of any? thing else. On your break, exercise, or sing, or dance, or sit still. You pick. Then get back to work. Setting a timer will help you find a rhythm.
臨考前死記硬背的學(xué)習(xí)要找到一個(gè)舒適的節(jié)奏。我們建議50:10的時(shí)間分配:50分鐘學(xué)習(xí),10分鐘做其他事。休息時(shí),你可以鍛煉身體,唱歌,跳舞,或靜靜地坐著。隨便你想干什么。時(shí)間到了就回去學(xué)習(xí)。設(shè)置計(jì)時(shí)器能幫助你把握復(fù)習(xí)節(jié)奏。
3.只關(guān)注重要知識(shí)點(diǎn)
Remember, you are cramming at this point. Any learning here has a limited shelf-life, so stick to the basics. You are learning just the main ideas and the key details. Those are the things that are most likely to be on the test, so focus your energy there. Look for headings, key people, dates, equations, vocab words, and explanations of major ideas. Filter the rest.
記住,你現(xiàn)在是在應(yīng)付考試。現(xiàn)在學(xué)習(xí)的任何知識(shí)都只是臨時(shí)記憶,所以只關(guān)注基本知識(shí)。你現(xiàn)在只要學(xué)習(xí)知識(shí)要點(diǎn)和重要細(xì)節(jié)。這些是最有可能出現(xiàn)在考試中的內(nèi)容,所以把精力集中于此。尋找標(biāo)題、關(guān)鍵人物、日期、方程式、詞匯和主要觀點(diǎn)的解釋。過(guò)濾剩下的。
4.利用感官加深記憶
Talk to yourself. Every big idea you read, talk it out. Explain things to yourself. Make lots of hand motions. Pace if it helps. Emphasize words with a funny accent. The crazier you look, the better. No, crazy people don’tremember more. But the more senses and emotions involved the more you’ll remember.
你要自言自語(yǔ)。要把看到的重要知識(shí)點(diǎn)讀出聲。向自己做解釋??梢员仁謩澞_。如果有幫助的話(huà),加快速度。用有趣的口音強(qiáng)調(diào)文字。看起來(lái)越瘋狂越好。瘋癲不會(huì)幫助記憶,但是你的感官和情緒可以。
5.制作復(fù)習(xí)指南
Whether or not your teacher/prof. gave you a study guide, you need to make your own to cram for an exam. This is far and away the best method to study for an exam. After just making the guide yourself, 80% of your work will be done. You’re cramming, so it doesn’thave to be neat. Only you have to be able to read it. Writing it out, reading as you go, in? volving all your senses.
無(wú)論老師是否劃了復(fù)習(xí)重點(diǎn),你都需要為考試制作復(fù)習(xí)指南。這無(wú)疑是備考的最好方法。完成復(fù)習(xí)指南之后,80%的工作就搞定了。你是為了應(yīng)付考試,所以指南不必工整。只要能看懂就行。把它寫(xiě)出來(lái),邊讀邊寫(xiě),讓你的所有感官都參與其中。
