Section summary To increase focus and comprehension, self-test after each section of the chapter. Summarize in your own words what it was about. Try explaining to a friend or classmate. Summarizing involves determining important information and to putting it in your own words. It helps students: Identify or generate main ideas Connect the main or central ideas Eliminate unnecessary information Remember what they read

Tools in the book Use the tools within a book to self-test. Often times, the end of the chapter provides: Chapter summary: read the chapter summary to see if you understand. If you don’t, go back and read about the areas it highlights. Key terms: be able to define each key term. End of chapter questions: be able to answer the questions at the end of each chapter. They help identify the most important information.

Summary and tips Check for understanding after each section. Utilize tools for self-test in the book If you don’t understand something, ask a classmate or the teacher in office hours. Underline, highlight, or write down main points (this makes studying for exams easier) Study somewhere that you can focus without distractions.
