1. Survey your textbook or workbook before you read.

Take a couple of minutes to find the glossary, index, study questions, and other importantinformation.Then, when you sit down to study, youll know where to find the answers you are

looking for. Make sure you read any study questions before you read the chapter.

2. Attack your textbook with sticky notes.

As you read, summarize (write down the main points in just a few sentences) each section of

the chapter on a post-it note. After you have read the entire chapter and summarized each

section, go back and review the post-it notes. Reading the post-it notes is an easy and fast way

to review information and, since each note is stuck in the section it summarizes, you can easily

find the information you need.


23/26

3. Use a graphic organizer to take notes when you read.

A graphic organizer is a form you can use to organize information. As you read, fill out the form with

important information. Then, use your graphic organizer to help you study for the test. Try using the

Cornell notes worksheet (you can download an example at Jim Burkes website).

4. Make your own practice test.

After you finish reading, pretend you are a professor who is writing a test for the chapter. Review

the material you just read and make up your own practice test. Include all vocabulary words, study

questions (theyre usually at the beginning or end of the chapter), and highlighted words you can

find, as well as any other information you think is important.


25/26

5. Create visual flashcards.

Flashcards arent just for primary students. Many college students find

them useful as well! Before you take a test, make flashcards that will help

you remember important terms, people, places, and dates. Use one 3x5

index for each term. On the front of the card, write down the term or

question you need to answer and draw a picture that will help you

remember it.
