How can you be sure that you know w you know? That may sound silly but it's really a serious question. Have you ever "thought" you knew something but when it came time to write in the exam you discovered that you r didn't "know" it, after all.
Strategies (策略) you can use
When that happens, it isn't because you have a bad memory, it's because the things you are trying to rhaven't been properly learned.
Luckily, there are strategies you can use to help you learn difficult things. And scientists say that there is even a part of your brain that can "predict" whether this new knowledge has been completely u.
Judgement of learning
Scientists call this predicting, the "judgement of learning". It really just means looking over your own shoulder w you are studying and asking yourself, "Do I really get this?" And if you don't, it means adjusting your "strategy" until you do.
Here's one strategy:
⒈Set a short-term goal to learn something.
⒉Study as you normally would.
⒊Answer some test questions to g some feedback.
⒋Use that feedback to work on your weak points.
In the driver's seat
Developing the ability to "judge" your own learning needs a lot of p. But it can be a very useful skill. It puts you in the driver's seat and in charge of your own studies. In effect, it lets you know that you really know what you think you know. You know?
