Rest for Your Test
It’s not unusual for us to take fewer breaks when we are revising for a test. Practice makes perfect, right? But is this true? Should we take more breaks?
According to a new study from a Germany’s institute of health, when we spend lots of time revising, we don’t improve as much as we think we do. Rather, it’s taking a break before taking a test that can really help us to perform well.
For the study, 27 volunteers were required to practise typing 4-1-3-2-4 as fast as they could for 10 seconds and then rest for 10 seconds. This process was then repeated 36 times.
It was found that the volunteers performed at the same speed in each trial. It was only after they had a longer rest that they got faster.
According to the researchers, when people repeatedly revise something without taking breaks, their brains don’t have enough time to properly organise, store, and consider the new information. Taking short rest breaks, however, provides much better results.
For this reason, the researchers suggested, “It may be important to make the best of the timing and rest breaks when people practise the same task,” the US multimedia website Big Think reported.

答案： 1. I usually take short breaks while revising. (This is a subjective question, and the answer can vary. For example, "I usually revise for a long time without a break.") 2. A Germany’s institute of health. 3. 27 volunteers. They were required to practise typing 4-1-3-2-4 as fast as they could for 10 seconds and then rest for 10 seconds, and this process was repeated 36 times. 4. It was only after they had a longer rest that they got faster. 5. When people repeatedly revise something without taking breaks, their brains don’t have enough time to properly organise, store, and consider the new information. Taking short rest breaks, however, provides much better results.
@@I agree with the finding and conclusion. Because when we revise for a long time without a break, our brains will be tired and can't concentrate, so the learning efficiency will be low. Taking short breaks can help our brains relax and better organise, store and consider the new information, so that we can remember the knowledge better and improve our learning efficiency. For example, when I revise for a test, if I study for a long time without a break, I will feel very tired and can't remember what I have learned. But if I take a short break every hour, such as listening to music or walking around, I will feel more energetic and can learn better. So taking breaks while revising for a test is very important.
