How to read
If you are going to remember the material you read then it is necessary to test yourself on comprehension. Without recalling the information you are likely to forget most very quickly (within minutes of reading). Systematically recall your material on a section-by-section basis. Plan your reading by setting the points in the book where you will stop and recall. Use the questions you generated to quiz your understanding. If you have difficulty recalling then go back and re-read! Do not proceed unless you are sure you understand since most written information builds progressively and failing to understand earlier material can cause problems later in the book
