• Recite
• Review

Survey

• Preview or pre-read the chapter before actually
  studying it. Get a sense of the layout of the
  chapter (or book, for that matter).
• How is it structured? Take notice of the
  sections, paragraphs, subparagraphs, etc.
• How many pages do you have to cover? Familiarize
  yourself with the material.

5
Question

• Write out each heading or subheading as a
  question. If there are no headings, write
  questions as you read.
• These questions will help you identify main
  points in the reading and focus your attention on
  important points.

6
Read

• Read the material with an eye for answering the
  questions you have already written. Pay close
  attention to the beginning and ending of each
  paragraph. Those sentences often contain the main
  ideas.
• While reading, highlight main ideas, important
  concepts, and terminology without marking up the
  entire book. Be choosy.

7
Recite

• Read the answers to your questions either out
  loud, silently, or to another person.
• You may also want to summarize what you have
  written in brief notes.

8
Review

• Review soon after finishing a chapter to start
  getting the information in memory.
• REVIEW DAILY. The more daily review, the less
  time spent cramming before a test.
