In college, I encountered a rule of thumb: For every credit hour per week, you should be studying two to three hours outside of class per week.

　　在大学里我学到了一条经验法则：为了得到每周的每个学分，你应该每周在课外学习2-3个小时。

　　If you ask a teacher or professor how much their best students should study, very few will expect their students to be studying for long hours everyday.

　　如果你问一位老师或教授他们最好的学生应该学多少，很少有人会希望学生每天学习时间过长。

　　Let’s talk about some of the study tips, that I followed to clear even the toughest of toughest examinations:

　　咱们来聊一些学习的建议，它们让我即使在最最困难的考试期间也能保持头脑清醒：

　　1.Prepare summary notes.

　　1.准备总结性的笔记。

　　Topper students are not ahead of intelligence or mental skill. But they are ahead of time. They manage time so well that they won’t need to feel guilt after exams that they could have done better.

　　学 霸们不是智力和心智超群，而是会提早，他们把时间管理得很好而不会在考试过后内疚自己本可以做得更好。

　　Summary notes mainly incorporates all important definitions, points or flowcharts which are more likely to come in exams.

　　总结性的笔记主要包括所有更有可能出现在考试中的重要定义、重点或流程图。

　　2.This might look opposite of what you have heard till now.

　　2.这条建议可能跟你迄今为止所听到的相违背。

　　But studying for more hours are less productive and effective than studying for less time along with adequate breaks in between. Follow Pomodoro Technique.

　　但长时间的学习要比短时间的学习并在学习期间适当休息学习效果和效率都要低。你可以试试番茄工作法。

　　3.Distractions.

　　3.分散注意力的东西。

　　They make you less productive and lazy. Keep a check on your distractions.

　　它们会使你学习效率低下，也会更懒惰，检查一下有哪些东西会让你分心。

　　Seriously, we don’t consider some of the minute things which actually are more time consuming.

　　严肃地说，我们不会想到有些只需要几分钟的事其实很浪费时间。

　　For example: Facebook, FB will be keep you stick to its website and keep showing you funny videos, profile pictures.

　　比如Facebook，它会让你留在网站上，一直给你看有趣的视频和个人的照片。

　　But just know one thing, ANY OF THESE THINGS WON’T MAKE YOU TOPPER.

　　但你要知道这些东西没有一个会让你学习更拔尖。

　　4.Writing.

　　4.写作。

　　Writing things down will help you remember them for more longer period. Write everything that can come in examinations.

　　把东西写下来能帮你延长记忆，写下一切考试中会出现的东西。
