STUDENT 1: I would have to break up the reading. Because if I sat there and tried to go through a chapter, I wouldn't be able to retain the information. So I would go through, highlight important parts, and actually by writing it down a couple times, it would make it easier for me to remember. So when I went to the test, and I saw, I would remember the points I wrote down and the things I read.

STUDENT 2: I took notes along the way. For say, English, she'll ask us to read a couple of chapters. I mean, it gets pretty difficult. But I'm not taking notes because they expect different parts of the story, you know, you want to look at characters. So it gets a little difficult.

But I guess, seeing the story in your head is a different way of trying to preview a book rather than reading from a textbook. You know, where textbooks, you could take notes and answer the questions in the back or anything. But I think, all different classes, you gotta kind of find what works for you the best.

STUDENT 3: Yeah, I learn more by doing it and hearing more than I do reading. So the reading is very tedious for me. I find that highlighting and making annotations in the books is very helpful. And like you said, taking the notes, writing summary on it, it's very helpful for test and quizzes.

STUDENT 4: I usually tend to write the information in my own words to comprehend and maybe just write a note that says, OK, look at this topic under this page. I wrote it in my own words. I know where to look for it in the book. But at least I know what it means.

STUDENT 1: The first thing I'll do is skim the chapter. After that, I go back and I highlight key points to it. And I also use the questions of the assignment as what to look up in my book. Because whatever is in the assignment, I know will be towards the test. So I'll go through and use my questions as helping me to study.
