As I remember it, the back to school routine was filled with hope. I had my plans laid out for how I was going to do things better that year, how I would be more organized, and how successful I would be. I would buy all of my school supplies and get my planner drafted out with my study plans aligned. Well, most of those plans didn\u2019t last as long as my parents probably would\u2019ve liked when I was a teenager<\/a> \u2014 when it came time to study, I found it so tedious and, frankly, wasn\u2019t even really sure of what I was doing. How can I be sure if it\u2019s a good use of my time if I don\u2019t even know where to begin and where I\u2019m going. The good news is that psychologists have answered the question about what method of studying is most effective.<\/p>\n

In a fantastic article in Scientific American<\/a>, the authors have reviewed over 700 studies about, well, our studies. Now, like me, I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll see some of your old study methods in there \u2014 for better and for worse.<\/p>\n

What were the golden winners?<\/p>\n
