Have you ever wondered how you can bomb1 a test after studying for hours？ A poor test result after many hours of studying is really confusing. If this happens to you， its possible that your current study habits are failing you， but you can turn them.

你是否想知道，在复习了好几个小时后，为什么还能把考试搞砸？好几个小时的认真学习只换来糟糕的考试成绩，这真的很令人困惑。如果这种情况发生在你身上，可能是你目前的学习习惯不对，但你可以改变它们。

1. Taking Linear2 Notes做线性笔记

Linear notes are lecture notes that students take when they try to write down every word of a lecture in good order. You may be wondering： How can it be bad to write every word of a lecture？ Its not bad to write every word of a lecture， but it is bad to think youre studying effectively if you dont follow up with your linear notes in some way.

You must revisit your notes and put all the information into a chart3 or outline. Right before every new lecture， you should review your notes from days past. You should think and make relationships between key concepts4 before you sit down for a new lecture.

做线性笔记指的是，学生在做课堂笔记时试图按顺序记下每一个单词。你可能会想：把课堂的每一个字都记下来不好吗？把一堂课的每一个字都记下来并不是坏事，但如果你不对你的线性笔记采取任何后续手段，却认为自己是在有效地学习，这就糟糕了。

你必须重新审视你的笔记，并将信息全部归纳到图表或大纲中去。在每堂新课之前，你应该复习过去几天的笔记。在坐下来听新课之前，你应该思考并弄清关键概念之间的关系。

2. Highlighting5 the Book在书本上乱做标记

Bright colors on a page make a big visual impact. If you highlight a lot as you read， it may seem like a lot of good studying is going on when that is not the case. Highlighting does make important information stand out on a page， but that doesnt do you much good if you dont follow up with some meaningful active learning with that information. Reading highlighted words again and again is not active enough.

You can put highlighted words onto flashcards6 and practise until you know every concept. You should also develop a way of color-coded highlighting. Highlight new words in one color and new concepts in another， for example. You could also highlight separate topics according to a color code.

頁面上鲜艳的颜色会产生很大的视觉冲击。你在阅读的时候如果标记了很多内容，这看上去也许是个好习惯，但事实并非如此。做标记确实会使重要信息在页面上凸显出来，但如果你没有对这些信息进行有意义的主动学习，这就对你没什么好处。一次又一次地看被标记出来的内容并不算足够主动的学习。

你可以把标记的内容写在抽认卡上来进行练习，直到你熟知每一个概念。你还应该制定一套使用不同颜色来做标记的方法。例如，用一种颜色来标记新词，用另一种颜色来标记新的概念。你还可以用不同颜色来标记不同的主题。
