This is the title of the article published in The New York Times on January 20th. It summarizes a study appeared in "Science" magazine. This study shows that taking a test is more useful than other studying techniques.

The research proves that students who took a test after reading a text remembered more information a week later than students who used other well known methods for students, even if they didn’t believe it previously.
