The PQRST technique helps you to study and remember a volume of written information.
P is for Preview,
Q for Question,
R for Read,
S for Summarise and state, and
T for Test.
To remember a volume of information, firstly try to preview it by scanning through it and gaining a general idea of the content. Next, come up with a few questions for yourself on the content. These are questions that you should be able to answer after reading the text in more detail. Now read through the content carefully. Summarise the main points and state them to yourself. Finally, test your understanding by answering the questions you listed earlier.
