一切都在你的腦海裡！學習技巧 記憶保留與掌握的技巧

Being intelligent is not the same as being smart. Being smart requires more than intelligence. Being smart involves being practical and having common sense, too.  Being intelligent may be knowing a lot of facts that will help to answer homework questions, but being smart is remembering to take home the books you need to do the homework and then to hand it in on time. Being smart is knowing what to study for that exam efficiently. Being smart is figuring out how to complete a long assignment within a reasonable amount of time and doing a good job on it.

There is no big mystery to academic achievement:

Skills + Effort = Achievement
