Home | Reading | Note Taking | Studying | Test Anxiety | Test Taking | Study Skills Quiz
 
The key to maximizing your study time is to learn to read effectively, by giving yourself purpose & reason to focus, particularly with your least favorite subjects.

So how do you help yourself focus when you are not interested?
 
SQ3R is one of many study methods to try
  • Survey. Preview all information to be studied by scanning, or glancing over all headings, subheadings, diagrams, charts, bold features, etc., to get an idea of what is to come
  • Question. Form questions from the previewed information by adding “what,” “how,” “why,” etc. to all headings and subheadings. This will give you purpose when reading.
  • Read. Read the information thoroughly, with the purpose of finding answers to the questions formed.
  • Recite. Recite aloud the answers to the questions. The more repetition experienced with the information, the more chance for retention.
  • Review. Thoroughly review all information, including headings, subheadings, text, questions, answers, and any additional notes.
