Effective studying 

Active reading 

You are not expected to learn the text by rote, rather, you must understand 

what you are reading and be able to use it to pass the exam and develop good 

practice. A good technique to use is SQ3Rs – Survey, Question, Read, Recall, 

Review: 

 (1) 

Survey

 the chapter – look at the headings and read the introduction, 

summary and objectives, so as to get an overview of what the chapter 

deals with. 

(2) 

Question

 – whilst undertaking the survey, ask yourself the questions that 

you hope the chapter will answer for you. 

(3) 

Read 

through the chapter thoroughly, answering the questions and 

making sure you can meet the objectives. Attempt the exercises and 

activities in the text, and work through all the examples.
