Write words, situations, and concepts; explain things that are not immediately clear, definitions of words you do not know, and questions you have. Determine what is taking place where and when in the work. Take notes as you read recording your first impressions. These should include your (as the reader's) reactions and responses. Make an outline; describe the story's conflicts, and with what elements of the story they take place. Memorize passages you find important, interesting, or striking.
There was a lot of repetition in this article. I found some of its ideas boring, some interesting, and some completely unuseful to me. I think that they should have included how to know if something in a passage is important, such as key words/ phrases, and not just what you think is important. If everyone followed these guidelines exactly, their notes would be longer than the story they were reading and thus of no help to them in studying for a test. The article also does not suggest how to go about memorizing something, it just says to memorize them. I disagreed with and disliked this article, and found it to be a waste of ink and paper.
