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.在大學里我學到了一條經驗法則：為了得到每周的每個學分，你應該每周在課外學習2-3個小時。
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. 如果你問一位老師或教授他們最好的學生應該學多少，很少有人會希望學生每天學習時間過長。
As a T.A. at a university, I can tell you that spending an hour of self-studying for every credit hour will put you ahead of a lot of your peers.作為大學的一名助教，我可以告訴你為了每學分你自學1個小時就能超過很多同齡人了。
Studying for long hours will often be necessary when you have an exam. But you don’t need to pull all-nighters to be a top student. 備考期間長時間學習通常是必要的，但你不要以為所有熬夜的都是學霸。
Plus, psychologists say a healthy amount of sleep will actually help you retain the material! 而且心理學家說健康的睡眠時間真的有助于記憶復習材料！
My best students are the ones who find time to complete portions of the assignment well before it’s due. 我最好的學生是那些找時間提前完成好學業任務的人。
“Studying all day” might mean going to class, reading 10 pages before lunch, doing a physics problem in between classes, and reviewing material at the end of the day.“學一整天”可能意味著去上課、午餐前讀10頁書、課間做一道物理題、一天結束時復習所學內容。
The hardest part can often be thinking of small things to do in order to fill your time during the day. 最難的部分通常可能是想出幾件要做的小事來填充一天的時間。
A to do list item like “Write essay” is the kind of thing that will take long hours of work, but it can be broken into steps, like: write an outline, free write, revise your intro paragraph.像“寫隨筆”這樣計劃內的事是要花很長時間的，但也可以分成幾小步，比如寫大綱、隨意發揮、修改段落。

There’s no strict hours, that a student should have to study to be the topper of the class. There is no straight jacket solution for becoming a top student. 要成為班里更頂尖的學生應該學習幾個小時并沒有嚴格的定義，成為學霸沒有唯一的方法。
What I believe is you need to act smartly, instead of following what every one else is doing.我認為你需要有靈活的表現，而不是跟別人一樣。
Let’s talk about some of the study tips, that I followed to clear even the toughest of toughest examinations:咱們來聊一些學習的建議，它們讓我即使在最最困難的考試期間也能保持頭腦清醒：
1.Prepare summary notes. 1.準備總結性的筆記。
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. 學霸們不是智力和心智超群，而是會提早，他們把時間管理得很好而不會在考試過后內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.總結性的筆記主要包括所有更有可能出現在考試中的重要定義、重點或流程圖。
2.This might look opposite of what you have heard till now. 2.這條建議可能跟你迄今為止所聽到的相違背。
But studying for more hours are less productive and effective than studying for less time along with adequate breaks in between. Follow Pomodoro Technique.
但長時間的學習要比短時間的學習并在學習期間適當休息學習效果和效率都要低。你可以試試番茄工作法。
3.Distractions. 3.分散注意力的東西。
They make you less productive and lazy. Keep a check on your distractions. 它們會使你學習效率低下，也會更懶惰，檢查一下有哪些東西會讓你分心。
Seriously, we don’t consider some of the minute things which actually are more time consuming. 嚴肅地說，我們不會想到有些只需要幾分鐘的事其實很浪費時間。
For example: Facebook, FB will be keep you stick to its website and keep showing you funny videos, profile pictures. 比如Facebook，它會讓你留在網站上，一直給你看有趣的視頻和個人的照片。
But just know one thing, ANY OF THESE THINGS WON’T MAKE YOU TOPPER.但你要知道這些東西沒有一個會讓你學習更拔尖。
4.Writing. 4.寫作。
Writing things down will help you remember them for more longer period. Write everything that can come in examinations. 把東西寫下來能幫你延長記憶，寫下一切考試中會出現的東西。
Disclaimer: Your mind will try to tell you that there’s no need to write everything. BUT, YOU HAVE TO.免責聲明：你的大腦會努力告訴你沒必要寫下所有東西。但你必須要寫。
