Imagine two students, Jin and Jan. Both studied for an exam and then took a break to eat. Before going to sleep, Jin relaxed by watching TV for half an hour. Jan spent an additional half an hour not studying but simply reflecting on what she had studied—asking herself questions like “What did I learn? Does it make sense? How does it all relate to each other?”

Whom do you think will perform better on the exam?

Studies conducted by researchers at Harvard Business School shows that people who spend time reflecting on what they have studied remember more and perform better than those who spend the additional time on more studying.

Next time while preparing for exams, make sure you spend some time to think what you have learned. This simple thing can help you get better grades!
