Memory : SQ5R

SQ5R stands for Survey, Question, Read, Record, Recite, Review, and Reflect and is an extension of the SQ3R discussed earlier. The two added steps are described as follows:



Record



After reading each section, you should record the main ideas. Highlight the key phrases (keeping in mind our suggestions for good highlighting skills), write notes in the margins, and write down the answers to your questions (and any new questions that you may have).



Reflect



This is where you think about the ideas you have learned and try to draw conclusions from them. Do you agree with the material? Does it relate to something else that you know? Take time to organize the information in your mind.



Other study systems that are nearly identical to the ones we have discussed:



PQRST (Preview, Question, Read, Self-Recitation, Test)

PQ4R (Preview, Question, Read, Reflect, Recite, Review)

OARWET (Overview, Ask, Read, Write, Evaluate, Test)
