介绍
如果你是动觉型学习者，除了阅读之外，还有很多方法可以提高学习效率。这些技巧中的许多方法对其他类型的学习者也有帮助。
锻炼
- 研究表明，锻炼可以改善记忆力和大脑功能。如果你对考试感到焦虑，可以考虑在考试前锻炼 20 分钟。这将有助于你在考试期间放松并保持专注，从而让你在考试后睡得更好。
- 《美国临床营养学杂志》发表的一项研究发现，经常锻炼的人在认知测试中的得分比不经常锻炼的人更高。
列出重要的术语、事实和想法。
- 创建一个闪存卡系统。
- 使用笔记本或索引卡记下要点。
- 使用文字处理器创建关键点文件。
- 通过集思广益和组织想法来创建思维导图，然后以任何对你有意义的方式把它们写下来——比如每行一个单词或在标题下分组（见下面的例子）。
考试前休息一下。
If you are a kinesthetic learner and need to take an exam, your body may be telling you that it’s time for a break. If so, take one!
The best way to ensure that the break is effective is by changing environments altogether. It doesn’t matter whether it’s going outside for fresh air or finding another room in which to study; just make sure that when you return from this break, all of your senses will feel refreshed and ready for more work.
Additionally, do not eat or drink anything during this 10-minute period (with the exception of water). Food consumption can cause drowsiness–and no one wants their mind wandering during an important test! Also avoid activities such as listening to music while studying because they might make studying seem less like work than simply fun time with friends or family members who enjoy music as much as we do ourselves
用不同的颜色写下考试的时间和地点。
这是记录所有考试的好方法，特别是如果你要参加多个考试。在日历或计划表上用不同的颜色写下考试时间和地点。确保你知道每场考试的地点，以及考试的开始和结束时间。
进行针对材料进行自我测试。
你可以多次练习测试自己对材料的掌握程度。这是一种很好的方法，可以帮助你记住和巩固所学知识，因为它会给你一些具体的结果，显示你的优势在哪里，以及你的知识中还有哪些空白。它还可以帮助你确定需要集中更多注意力的领域，这样不仅可以让你更熟练，而且在考试时更容易回忆起来。
考前放松一下。
You have a lot going on and it’s hard to relax. But no matter how much you may feel like you have to do, the best thing you can do for yourself is allow some time and space where you can relax before the exam.
Here are some ideas for how to chill out:
- 用鼻子深吸一口气，屏住一会儿，然后慢慢用嘴呼气——如果需要的话，重复五次或更多！它有助于平息紧张情绪，让你在考试时能更好地集中注意力。
- 到校园外面或周围散步；呼吸新鲜空气有助于清除头脑中的干扰（谁知道呢？也许甚至会碰到想一起学习的人）。
- 在家做一些伸展运动——它们快速而有效！只需在伸展全身不同肌肉群（手臂/肩膀；腿/背部）的同时播放一些音乐，专注于在每次伸展时释放压力——这将有助于防止在测试当天晚些时候出现酸痛……或者如果长期定期进行，甚至可以在测试之前出现酸痛。”
在考试期间练习从记忆中回忆关键概念和想法，而不是从笔记或书本中。
During the exam, practice recalling key concepts and ideas from memory. Don’t rely on notes or books. Recalling information from memory is a skill that can be practiced, and it’s much more effective than reading or rereading.
When you are asked a question, try to answer it without looking at your notes first. If you do look at them, don’t spend too long doing so; just enough time to jog your memory of what was written down (and maybe even make some corrections). Then go back into recall mode as quickly as possible!
有效学习的方法有很多，不仅仅是阅读
While reading is an important part of the learning process, it’s not the only way to study effectively. In fact, there are many different ways to study effectively that involve more than just reading.
In order to learn and retain information better, try studying in a way that works best for you–whether it be listening or watching video lectures (audio), doing problem sets/exercises (kinesthetic), making flashcards from lecture slides or textbooks (visual) etc., so long as it helps you remember material better!
总结
准备考试的最佳方法是找到适合自己的学习方法。如果你是动觉型学习者，那么写下笔记或做模拟测试可能会有所帮助。如果你是听觉型学习者，试着边听音乐边学习，或者每隔一小时左右休息一下——这可以帮助你保持头脑清醒，并在考试时专注于最重要的事情！
