Reading Strategies

This past week, I had two exams to study for. For my Physics exam , I needed to read the chapter (something I never do). Therefore, to make it more effective for me I decided to use the TART strategy because it allows me to identify main terms along with their definitions, as well as, to anticipate and create test questions to ask and prepare myself. After searching through the textbook for key terms that I thought were significant, I attended class the next day and circled the terms that my professor went over thoroughly. Two nights before my exam I read and created test questions from within the reading. This strategy was very effective, but the MR.R strategy worked very effectively along with TART.

I used MR.R because I wanted to create flash cards that I can walk around with to recite whenever I had a dull moment or free time. This strategy is similar to TART, but it gives you the opportunity to create flash cards for definitions or equations that I might have needed to know.
