  SQ-4R:
Survey, Question- Read, wRite, Recite, Review

6. Review

 

Reviewing is a method many students perform regularly, but at the wrong time and in the wrong situation. Students generally review (cram) for the test right before the actual exam, and are not able to process the information effectively because it was not channeled through their minds in the right manner. Therefore, review the material directly after you have completed the previous steps to reiterate the knowledge you have gained by actively studying.

Review Summary

  1. Skim over each major heading.
  2. Cover the text and/or notes you have taken to see how much information you can recite on your own.
  3. Summarize each paragraph/section.
  4. Read your marginal notes to remember important thoughts and ideas.
  5. Review approximately 5-10 minutes daily until the exam.
