Review what you wrote and identify any areas where you were wrong. Once you have identified them, go back to your notes or reading material and figure out the correct answer.

Lastly, if there are any areas in your writing where you used technical terms or complex language, go back and rewrite these sections in simpler terms for someone who doesn’t have the educational background you have.

SQ3R METHOD

What comprises of the SQ3R method?

Instead of reading the entire book, start by skimming the

first chapter and taking notes on any headings, subheadings,

images, or other standout features like charts.

Begin reading the full chapter and look for answers to the questions you formulated.

After reading a section, summarize in your own words

what you just read. Try recalling and identifying major points

and answer any questions from the second step.

Formulate questions around the content of the chapter, such as, What is this chapter about? What do I already know about

this subject?

Once you have finished the chapter, it’s important to review the material to fully understand

it. Quiz yourself on the questions you created and

re-read any portions you need to.
