12月-1月是同学们最“赤激”的月份了，Final季和申请季齐飞，留学的小伙伴们已经开始闭关复习，在申请的小伙伴们不仅要保证申请的顺利还要兼顾期末成绩。小藤真的心疼大家，正好国外类似于知乎的问答网站Quora上，有一个问题是：如何在家保持高效学习，一位答友的回答受到众多学霸们的支持，于是小藤马上收集下来分享给处于水深火热Final周的小伙伴们！
01
规划和管理好你的学习
Planning and managing your study
1. Make a timetable;mine was 11 hours for study. It is first step to success.
做一个时间表：“我”的时间表是学习11个小时。这是迈向成功的第一步。
Wistia Inc.是一家位于马萨诸塞州剑桥的视频软件公司。他们曾经对群众对视频的注意力时间进行了统计分析，如图：
从图中可以明显看出，45分钟以后，人们的注意力范围是30%，这也正是小学到高中的课程时间长度，因此，同学们在自我学习时，也建议在45分钟之后休息一下，再次学习时可以帮助恢复到90%的注意力。注意力习惯之后再慢慢延长学习时间，当然学霸们也是这么做的。
2. Humans can concentrate for 40 minutes on a subject, or maximum 1 hour. Do change your study material/subject after every 40 minutes or 1 hour. But later on you can increase this time slowly to 2 hours. I did this.
人们可以在一个课题上聚精会神40分钟-1小时。所以，每40分钟或1小时，更换一下你的学习类别或者科目。在习惯了这个集中精神的时间后，你可以根据自己的情况延长时间至2小时等。
3. Start on your daily schedule by learning new things, learning new things at start gives you hope and makes you motivated.
通过学习新事务开始你的每天时间安排，开始学习新事务的时候会给你带来希望和动力。
4. Don't start one subject or module after the other; take a break of 5 to ten minutes. During your break time eat some chocolate, fruits, and vitamins. Get out of your seat and get your blood flowing by walking around or doing a few sit-ups, push-ups, or jumping jacks. Even better, step outside to get a breath of fresh air and enjoy nature. This is a right click and refresh for you on your desktop to start another application.
不要在一个科目或者模块刚结束时就马上开始学习下一个新部分，休息5-10分钟。期间你可以吃点巧克力、水果或者维他命，做做小锻炼，出去呼吸新鲜空气，看看大自然。这相当于让你刷新自己，并且可以启动另一个应用。
在今年4月份，人们通过程序SuperMemo跟踪已学习并保留的离散信息。制作了一个表格来体现人类的记忆图表（详细资料查阅：https://www.wired.com/2008/04/ff-wozniak/）
我们可以看见，当你第一次读到某些东西的时候，你对他的记忆下降很快，但是当你不断地重复记忆，你的记忆曲线下降就越来越缓。
学霸大大们也早就深谙此道了！
5. Study each subject three times a day, design your schedule such that every subject has 3 shifts per day. Take notes in the first shift, and rehearse them in second shift and so on. Notes taken should not be an exact copy of the book text.
每一个科目需要一天学习三次，这就要求我们设计好时间表，让每天一门科目都可以学习3遍。在第一遍的时候做笔记，第二遍的时候复习，以此类推。注意，笔记不能是照抄原文。
5. Re-allocate time for your modules in your schedule after every (maximum of) two weeks. Or test yourself after one week and review your schedule; focus on areas you need work in. It should be based on the results of your self-testing of course.
最多每隔两周，就要重新分配你的每个部分的时间表。或者每周做一次测试，再根据测试结果重新分配时间表，在你需要学习的地方重点安排。
6. Test yourself sometime in the middle of a study schedule in a day or after morning review session as we usually do in exams i.e. review before paper.
在一天或者早晨复习后的时间表中，可以给自己安排个测试，就像我们考试经常做的那样，在试卷前复习。
7. Remember to review topics of this day you have studied, at the end of study time table.
记住在一天的时间表最后复习你今天学过的所有论题。
8. Second day, start with looking at the topics of the last day. But never do an exam at the start of study time. After you review the previous day's materials, move on to learning new things. Later chapters in books mostly have references from former ones. Increase difficulty slowly from start to end. A basic rule in all of our lives.
在第二天的时候，从复习前一天的内容开始学习，但是绝对不要在学习一开始的时候做测试。回顾前一天的材料后，继续学新事物。每本书之后的章节里总会有许多对之前章节的引用，从开始到结束，慢慢增加难度。这也是我们生活中的一个基本规则。
9. Do some statistics on important and less important subjects or difficult and easy subjects and divide time with statistics methods. For example by first assigning the difficulty level to each subject like 40% and 60% etc.
做一些统计分析来区分重要于不重要的科目，困难与简单的科目，并且根据统计数据分析来为这些科目划分时间。比如：通过难易度划分40%和60%的时间分配科目学习之类。
10. If studying something which could be easily implemented in home or lab, don't miss it. I, when studying biology, had tried to produce a new family of a tree though it was just a try and nothing resulted. I have been programming to simulate the physics concepts which helped a lot.
如果有些东西在家或者实验室里就能轻松解决的话，千万别错过了。
就我来说，我攻读生物学的时候，曾经试图组建一个新的树木的科系，尽管最后就仅仅只是个尝试而已，没有得到任何结论。但一直在做编程模拟物理概念，让我受益良多。
02
课题具体研究技术
Subject specific study techniques
1. For math subjects, try to solve a question, if you fail, just do it with your hands by looking at some help book. After you finish copying by hands, you will infer what was missing. This is called learning with hands not mind. This is because some time an answer tells you about the solution in math.
对于数学科目，试图去解决一个问题，当你失败了，就看一些辅助书的答案，当你模仿答案推断完成后你就会知道你当时忽略了什么。这叫做通过模仿学习而不是思考。这是因为有的时候答案能告诉你关于数学的解决方法。
2. For physics subjects, start with writing the topics equation, prove it on paper same as stated above in (math method), then start with the theory. Attach equation with the topic.
对于物理科目，开始写主要方程，然后参照以上数学科目的方法，再从理论开始，附加上方程和主题。
3. For English, write difficult words on the note book. Learn them first.
对于英语科目，把困难的单词写在本子上，先学他们。
4. For theory subjects, read a lot on the same topic from different sources, read the topic on book, leave it. Now read it on Wikipedia and leave it. Learn it on some other book. This is easy and very useful method. Don't try to learn from your book only this will bore you and you won’t remember well.
对于理论科目，阅读很多不同来源同一主题的资料，阅读主旨即可。先在维基百科上了解他，然后再从别的相关书籍上阅读。这是一个简单且有用的方法。不要试图从你的书上学习，因为这会打扰你并且让你无法记住。

考试小窍门
Exam Tips
1. End preparing for exams about one week before. Design your exams timetable so that your intense preparation ends about one week before the first day of paper.
在考试前一周左右停止准备工作。需要规划好你的考试时间表，以便于你在第一场考试前一周就结束紧张的准备工作。
2. Tension free preparation. Inside your heart you know I have one week, as a backup.
准备期间放松紧张的心情，你心里知道你还有一周的时间作为后援准备。
3. One week extra preparation. The last EXTRA week is now more valuable than one month. Everything you will do in this week will be extra and very motivational for you.
这个额外一周的准备工作将会比一个月更有价值，在这一周内，你做的所有事情都对你来说格外重要并且能使你非常有积极性。
4. If there is 2, 3 days break between papers, don't stick with one subject. As mentioned above it kills productive study and focus. Change study module for the sake of attaining mind focus and refreshment, at least.
如果在考试与考试中间，有2-3周的时间，千万别固执地只复习一门科目，照着上面提到过的技巧高效率地专注复习。为了让自己更加专注，至少应该时不时换一下学习的模块，休息一下。
5. Review your notes the day before paper. This will give you an overview of all topics plus strengthening the memory connections for those topics.
在考试前一天复习一下你的笔记。这会让你总览所有知识点，并且通过联系知识点加强你的记忆。
6. After paper is over, don't throw the question paper into dust bin, thinking that it's gone now. It can help your mind settle down. Read and examine how much you did correctly.
在考试结束后，不要把试卷丢到垃圾桶中，心里知道他结束了就好。他能帮你随后静下心来，看一看测试一下自己到底做对了多少。
7. Keep calculating marks you obtained in each paper and adding to total. It will motivate you, like we do in scoring games.
计算你在每个试卷上获得的分数并且加总分。这很像在玩得分游戏，会激励着你
8. Don't forget the one and only solution for refreshment and energy of mind, the exercise and healthy foods in exams.
别忘了锻炼和健康的食物是你在考试中保持精神和大脑能量的唯一解决方法。
