New Research Shows Testing, Not Cramming, Key To Learning. Turns out, studying for hours on end isn’t the best way to learn something new. Great, now they tell us. New research in the journal Science shows that when it comes to learning information, being tested is what really helps you retain information–not the hours of cramming. The researchers came to their conclusions by dividing 200 college students into groups and having each student read paragraphs on a scientific subject. The different groups were then instructed either read the information once or read it again and again–in other words, study the material. (More on TIME.com: See 11 education activists for 2011) Another group was then immediately given a test on the information, followed by one more chance to read the information and then another test. When all 200 students were tested a week later, the students who had been tested immediately out performed the other groups.
