What Are the Study Habits of Top Students at Oxford University?

From @Benjamin McEvoy:  
Study Habit #1 - Go to your lectures.  
In my third year of Oxford, I went to almost every single lecture available. Including those involving topics I was not personally involved or interested in.  
Sure, some of them suck. But I found so many gems that influenced my thinking. I found so many passionate, knowledgeable speakers who got me excited about the topic.  
Study Habit #2: Be an active student.  
For my first year at Oxford, I barely said anything in tutorials.  
I was shy, introverted, and devastatingly worried that everyone would think I was stupid.  
Then, somewhere in the middle of my second year, I got over myself, responded to others, asked thoughtful questions, and interacted way more.  
Top Tip: ALWAYS ask if you don't understand something. 9 times out of 10, people will NOT think you're stupid. Most of the time, others also don't understand the thing you're struggling with and will be happy you asked.  
Study Habit #3: Establish a perfect study environment.  
This is a very personal place and it needs to be somewhere you instantly click into study mode.  
It might be your dorm room. It wasn't for me though. I associated my room with down-time so I always got distracted when studying.  
My perfect study environment was actually the Oxford English Faculty building. This is where all my lectures were. PhD students studied there so there was a serious vibe. It was totally silent.  
It was perfect. I got so much done there. I used to fill up my schedule with lectures and during the breaks, I'd hit the faculty library and study.  
Study Habit #4: Study in small chunks.  
When you structure your studying, the most important task is always to ensure you are remembering the information you have already learned. That always comes first.  
We always forget the stuff in the middle.  
In job interviews or university interviews, the first candidate and the last candidate are the most memorable.  
In order to improve your retention and absorb more information, you need to set up your studying so that primacy and recency are emphasised.  
That means breaking your studying up into manageable blocks (not studying new information for hours on end) and reviewing what you've previously learned in each new block.  

中文大意：
学习习惯一：去听讲座。
在牛津大学的第三年，我几乎参加了所有的讲座。包括那些涉及我个人没有涉及或不感兴趣的话题。但是也发现很多充满激情、知识渊博的演讲者让我对这个话题感到兴奋。
学习习惯二：做一个积极的学生。
我很害羞，内向，非常担心每个人都会认为我愚蠢。但是如果你不明白什么，就要去问，人们不会认为你愚蠢。大多数时候，会很高兴你会提出问题。
学习习惯三：建立完善的学习环境。
我理想的学习环境其实是牛津英语学院大楼。学生们都在那里学习，所以有一种严肃的氛围，
一片寂静。学习习惯四：分块学习。当你组织你的学习时，最重要的任务总是确保你记住你已经学到的信息。这总是第一位的。
