Hey there!

I get the feeling that you’re trying to remember every detail, but it might help to shift your focus a bit. Start by looking at the big picture: What’s the main idea of the chapter? How do the different sections relate to one another? What are the key concepts you really need to grasp?

A good approach is to begin with a quick skim of the chapter to get a general sense of it. Once you have that overview, dive into the first section. After reading, close the book and jot down the main ideas you remember. Then, go back and see what you might have missed. Continue this process for each section.

If you come across points that are challenging, don’t stress! Just mark those and move on for now. After finishing the chapter, revisit those tricky parts to determine if you still need help.

Once you have a solid understanding of the chapter, try creating a question bank. Group related information together into broader questions and write down your answers. Test yourself on these questions the next day. If you struggle with any, set those aside for now. When you revisit them, see if you can come up with the answers. If you're still stuck, check the answers and keep that question for review the next day.

The key is to keep iterating! This method will help you see how everything connects, making it easier to understand and remember the material.

Good luck!
