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：选择合适的环境
选一个适合学习的环境，在那里你不会被诸如电话，电视或其他活动所打扰而分心。

Step 2: Prioritize your studies
Prioritize your study materials so that the most important or the hardest is finished first.
第二步：将学习内容排下次序
将学习内容排序以便先学习最重要的和最难的内容。

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：通过阅读来理解
将学习内容读一遍先有个基本的了解。不要强调读第一遍就能记住。

Step 4: Read and take notes
Read the material again, taking notes and summarizing the main ideas in your own words.
第四步：阅读并做笔记
再读一遍，做笔记并用你自己的话将要点总结出来。

Tip:Make new material stick by relating it to something you already know or care about. Context and emotion enhance our ability to remember.
小贴士：学新的内容要将它与你已经知道的或是关注的内容联系起来。内容和情感能增强我们的记忆能力。

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：利用感官来学习
利用感官来帮助学习。如果可能的话，不要只是读，去听听演讲或播客，或是看教学视频。这样会对学习内容会有多样的理解。

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：自测
在不看笔记的情况下自测。将你的答案写下来或是大声说出来。换言之，为考试演练。

Tip:Take a nap after a heavy study session to allow your brain time to rest. Napping after studying can help with recall.
小贴士：在刻苦学习一段时间后可以打下盹，留些时间让大脑休息下。学习后小睡下能帮助记忆。

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：再次测试自己
在一周或一天的不同时间要反复测试自己。这种自测会巩固你的学习，当真的考试到来时，你会准备充分。
