I am trying to study a book, and was advised to make bullet points for important information.
I'm good at remembering select quotes, but always had difficulty with comprehension. Studying for A'Levels, twenty-six years ago, must have caused a burnout; then. Same when doing Final Year at Uni. It wouldn't stick.
Any other tips?
what kind of book? A text book I assume but what subject?
Yes, a text book.
Yes but my point is the way you would study say a maths or physics textbook might be very different from the way you would study say a history textbook
Ah that’s a very specific type of thing. I really don’t know. I’m assuming it’s not something you can be tested on. I guess I’d read it like a novel for enjoyment. self-help books are aimed at people who don’t have a lot of energy to plough through dense material. I’d say read it without a great deal of stress and then later on re-read it if you feel so inclined maybe concentrating on the sections you found most helpful or interesting.
