Q&A: Remembering what you read

How can I retain information while revising for a driving theory test?

Read a short section with a question in mind, close the book, and write what you remember before checking it.

Read a short section with a specific question in mind, then close the book and write what you remember. The suggested limit is three or four pages, with shorter sections appropriate for a driving theory handbook. Keeping the book open while writing makes it easy to copy without thinking through the material. Recalling the answer afterward makes remembering part of the exercise.
