process. • After you have read and recited the entire chapter,
write questions in the margins for those points you have

write questions for the notes you have taken in the left hand
margins of your notebook.

Day Two

• Page through the text and/or your notebook to re-acquaint


yourself with the important points.
• Cover the right hand column of your text/note-book and orally
ask yourself the questions in the left hand margins.
• Orally recite or write the answers from memory.
• Make "flash cards" for those questions which give you
difficulty.
• Develop mnemonic devices for material which need to be
memorized.

Days Three, Four and Five

• Alternate between your flash cards and notes and test yourself
(orally or in writing) on the questions you formulated.
• Make additional flash cards if necessary.

Weekend

Using the text and notebook, make a Table of Contents - list all the
topics and sub-topics you need to know from the chapter.
From the Table of Contents, make a Study Sheet/ Spatial Map.
Recite the information orally and in your own words as you put the
Study Sheet/Map together.

Now that you have consolidated all the information you need for that
chapter, periodically review the Sheet/Map so that at test time you will
not have to cram.
