PREVIEW an assignment by scanning it. Read the chapter outline at the beginning of the chapter. Pay attention to the headings of the sections and subsections. Read the summary. The point is to get an idea of the main topics and sections of the chapter.
(Numbers 2, 3, and 4 are done at the same time)
QUESTION yourself by making questions of the headings of each section and subsection.
As you READ the assignment, look for the answers to the questions you have made.
SELF-RECITATION requires that you try to remember the main points of each section and that you say them out loud (if possible) to yourself.
You TEST yourself after you have finished the entire chapter. How many of the main ideas from the chapter can you remember?
Now you are really starting to store your studies into long-term memory!
