• Skim : Before starting to read large amounts of material, take a second to skim over the pages to be studied. Take note of the major headings and write them down as an outline for your notes.

• Format: decide on how you will organize your notes. Try and use Headings, subheadings, graphs, and concept maps , highlight and underline

• Anticipate: potential questions for use on MCQ exams and write them out as practice for your review later

• Visualize: the material you’ve just read in your mind

• Repetition : review your summary notes on a regular basis
