College studying question?

Question

Ok, I have a slight problem, I can memorize basically anything but It takes awhile. My question is how do you know what is important in textbooks? I went part time and had enough time just to memorize whole books and hence, got all the questions on the test correct. But, I am going full time and won't be able to memorize 1,000 pages a month. So, how do you choice what you're are going to learn...I mean what's important?

Answer 1

Study your notes from class.  Also if the teacher provides an outline.  Make sure you know the main stuff professor focuses on.  Also make note cards for vocabulary

Answer 2

LISTEN to your professor 1st & foremost, b/c they will tell usually tell you what is on the test. Or maybe most is from notes & only certain things they tell you will be on the test...?

ASK the professor-"What topics or things do I need to pay particular attention to, in order to be more fully prepared for the test."

SKIM-look at key points, vocabulary & the "Learning Objectives" for each chapter-know concepts & an example for each, or the ones the prof tells you!

Good Luck! :)
