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.

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

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

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

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.
