What I did learn when finally realizing some tips on how to study was to scan paragraphs – you can usually pick up the gist of it by reading the first and last sentences of a paragraph, and the first and last paragraphs of a chapter. Also looking at the chapter outline before starting, to see how the content is organized. And making your own outline as you go along. So one way is to start with a very broad outline, chapter headings, then skimming paragraphs for an overview, then “zooming in” for the detail. That way, the “zooming in” is actually a kind of a review of what you’ve read.

But don’t ask me about anything I learned when I used this technique – I have forgotten it all because I no longer work in that profession.
