Article: Forget What You Know About Good Study Habits- Reaction

From the article "Forget What You Know About Good Study Habits" gives me ideas for planing my future ways of studying. Just like the article said that test is one of the greatest tools to learn, which reminds me that i do tend to know how to solve the math problems after I actually take the test. I think the reason for that is I read the questions and try to search through my brain to find ways to solve the question, even if i did not success but right after the test I would look through my book to see if i was right or after the test is given back I would look at how to solve the questions which I get wrong and after that I actually learn the material.
I also agree with the idea of our peers and parents or the girl that we try to impress have affect on our learning. I remember how I used to think about how to get along with all my peers and impress the girl that i was so attracted to. This used to be a big influence to my learning process.
What I really get from this article is that I should study my material over time repeatedly, and exchanging between subjects instead of spent four hours straight the day before the test. 

Article: Forget What You Know About Good Study Habits- Summary

In the article "Forget What You Know About Good Study Habits" talks about how the brain learns better, therefore school systems should change their way of teaching. For example, instead of students locking them-self in the library or a quite room to focus on a subject or a test, some may actually get more from what they study by studying multiple subjects and with windows to look out to. The principle behind this is that the brain seem to remember things better if it comes back to see the material again after leaving it. If the brain is forced to study the same kind of material, it will get bored and become harder to remember. It was also mentioned that a test is one of the best tools for the brain to take something in. The reason for that would be when doing a test our brain has to search through itself to find information which is more likely to stay in the brain because of repeating usage.
Other than that, the environment and the social life of a student also has huge influence on learning; such as friends, opposite sex, relationships within the social circle, and family.
