說到期中考試，沒有任何魔術或秘密公式。這需要工作——以及適量的睡眠！但如果你願意付出努力，你就能在下次考試中取得好成績。以下是我為下一次期中考做準備並取得成功的重要建議：
獲得適量的睡眠。
Getting enough sleep is the first step to studying effectively. The brain needs time to process information, consolidate memories and make connections between new information and knowledge you already have. It’s during sleep that we do our best learning and memory consolidation – so it’s no wonder that people who don’t get enough sleep are less likely to perform well in exams! Sleep also helps you stay focused because getting sufficient sleep allows your brain to regulate attention levels throughout the day.
Your brain uses most of its energy when you are awake, so it makes sense that being awake for long periods of time can cause fatigue which can affect your ability to study effectively. If you are tired or lacking energy then it might be worth considering taking a short nap before tackling your revision (it may not be possible if this is during school hours). A brief nap can help refresh and re-energise your mind making it easier for you concentrate while revising without feeling overwhelmed by fatigue.
不要對你的日程安排有太多壓力。
If you haven’t been able to keep up with the amount of work that your professors have assigned, don’t panic! If you’ve been hitting the books hard, but still feel like there are holes in your understanding for certain topics or concepts, then it’s time to take a step back. You might be overthinking things and losing sight of what needs improvement most urgently.
The best way to avoid stress is by staying on top of things as they come in: make sure that assignments are due at reasonable times throughout the semester so you’re not scrambling at the last minute; ask for extensions when needed (and show progress) instead of letting a project go until just before it’s due; and aim for early drafts instead of waiting until finals week to start writing everything out from scratch again.
提前規劃並專注於定期學習而不是臨時抱佛腳。
One of the most important things to remember when it comes to studying for midterms is planning. Planning ahead will help you keep on schedule and focused, no matter how many assignments you have due that week.
For example, if your test is on Thursday and one of your assignments was due Tuesday night, it’s best not to wait until Wednesday morning before starting the assigned reading. This will allow you enough time (usually about two hours) for each assignment before moving onto another one. This prevents wasting time trying to cram everything in at once; instead, your focus will be spread out over several days instead of being concentrated on one or two days leading up to the exam date.
Speaking of exams: don’t fall into the trap of cramming everything into a single study session before taking a big test! Cramming can actually cause more harm than good by causing stress and anxiety while studying—and even worse, it won’t help retain any information at all once those stressful moments are over! Instead, try breaking down big projects into small chunks that take less time—such as completing 10 practice problems per night rather than spending three hours doing them all at once before bedtime!
找到適合您的學習方式。
- 找個安靜的地方學習。
- 尋找一個學習夥伴。
- 理想情況下是一個幹擾較少的空間。
我發現當我可以控制環境時效果最好，所以我選擇我的臥室或地下室（幾乎總是安靜的）。我還發現身邊有其他人可以幫助我保持專注，所以如果有人願意和你一起學習，那就太好了！如果沒有，請嘗試在閱讀筆記和抽認卡時大聲朗讀或聽音樂。
參加課堂，但不要讓它分散你的學習注意力。
不要讓你的成績成為唯一重要的事情。重要的是要專注於自己的學習，而不僅僅是試圖獲得高分。如果您對課堂上教授的內容不是特別感興趣，請專注於考試學習，而不是試圖集中精力並學習課程不需要的內容。
請你的教授確定要專注的高收益主題和概念。
Ask your professors to identify high-yield topics and concepts.
This may sound a bit like cheating, but it’s not. In fact, it’s more of an aid than anything else. After all, what better way is there to study for an exam than by using your professor as a resource? If you know that the topic of “molecular biology” will be on next week’s test, don’t waste time studying things like “genetic mutations.” That should be obvious and self-evident—and if it isn’t obvious and self-evident right now then it won’t feel so obvious or self-evident after spending hours poring over pages and pages of text in search of some detail about genetic mutations that might appear on next week’s exam (spoiler alert: there won’t be any). Instead use this time wisely by asking your professor what he thinks are some important ideas or concepts from last week’s lecture notes or reading assignments that he would recommend focusing on during review sessions.
如果你想在期中考中取得好成績，請儘早開始。
In order to ace your mid-term, you must start studying early. The sooner you start, the more prepared you’ll be for when the test comes around. This can also help reduce stress levels as well. If you wait until the last minute, then all of a sudden it becomes a panic situation where there’s not enough time to learn everything and do all of your homework assignments that are due at the same time as your midterm exam date.
How much time should I spend studying?
It depends on how much information is covered in each class and how difficult it will be for you to remember everything before taking an exam on this material later down the road (like next week). If all of this new information is flying right over your head during lectures and discussions about it, then we recommend dedicating at least 3 hours per day towards studying so that by Friday afternoon when exams begin there would have been several solid days worth of preparation behind them already!
結論
如果你付出努力並盡力而為，那麼你沒有理由不能在期中考中取得好成績。這似乎是一個令人生畏的前景，但實際上，這只是實現您目標的又一步 - 希望包括出色畢業！
