    4 Easy Ways to Study Better
    Different students learn better in different ways, and it's important to find a way
    to study that works best for you. Here are some things that you can try to help
    you study better.

    Make a plan
    Decide when, where and for how long you are going to study.  If you decide
    what you need to get done every time you study, then it will be easier to
    achieve your goals. Also, if you do smaller amounts of work regularly, you
    won't have the stress of needing to cram everything just before an important
    exam.

    Test yourself on what you've learned


    After you read something, you should test yourself on it.  And instead of just
    doing it once, do it often. Try to test yourself days and weeks after you first
    learn something to make sure you really remember it.  You can also work with a
    friend to test each other.

    Take a break
    Research has shown that taking breaks can help you work or study better.  A
    study by the company DeskTime found that the most productive people work
    for about 52 minutes at a time, then take a 17-minute break in between.  So
    when making your study plan, don't forget to include breaks in it.

    Stay healthy
    Getting exercise and sleeping well can actually help you study.  Research has
    found that regular exercise can improve both memory and thinking skills, while
    sleeping helps the brain save new information.

    student?

    Exercise 4

    3. What would you say is the most important thing you learned in
    school?
    4. Who would you say is the smartest person you know?
    5. If you study to remember, you will forget. But if you study to
    understand, you will remember. — Unknown. What do you make of this
