Remember Everything You Read: The Evelyn Wood 7-Day Speed Reading \& Learning Program pdfdrive com

The best students continue to read optional and background
material in their various courses.
The broader your knowledge of a
subject, the better you’ll tend to do on papers and tests. Also, the extra
reading helps put the required reading into a better perspective and
firmer intellectual context. The result is improved recall and
understanding of the required material.
Also, this supplementary reading will provide you with a head start on
doing research for any course papers that may be due.

around.
During these study sessions, the top students rework their
reading notes (recall patterns) and add to them as needed.
Also, they may begin to memorize certain facts, including the spelling
of key names and places, the dates of major events and even short
quotations. With regard to this last point, a number of students have
found that they can make a tremendously positive impression on
instructors by slipping in a direct quote, with page references, from an
assigned book or article.
The top learners ask their teachers questions about things they
don’t understand.
Besides clearing up any confusion, a one-to-one
conversation with the person who will be designing and grading your
tests can provide other invaluable insights and advantages. A number of
students report that they’ve gained extremely helpful ideas about how
the teacher’s mind works, and also what to expect on exams. In most
cases, giving the teacher a chance to get to know you and to see your
interest in the subject can only work to your advantage. Remember,
though, that most instructors have more time early in the term than
later, when they’re preparing exams, or grading exams and papers.
