STUDY TECHNIQUES
Read: Begin reading the chapter and look for answers to the questions you formulated.
Recite: After reading a section, summarize in your own words what you just read. Try recalling and identifying major points and answering questions from the second step.
Review: Once you have finished the chapter, review the material to fully understand it. Quiz yourself on the questions you created and re-read any portions you need to.
1. The SQ3R Studying Technique
SQ3R (or SQRRR) is an acronym that stands for the five steps of the reading comprehension process.
Survey: Instead of reading the entire book, start by skimming the first chapter and taking notes on headings, subheadings, images or other standout features like charts.
Question: Formulate questions around the chapter’s content, such as: What is this chapter about? What do I already know about this subject?
