Pre-study

What It Is:

• Previewing the material before fully engaging with it to create a mental framework for learning.

  
  

How It Helps:

• Prepares your brain for learning, activates prior knowledge, and improves focus during actual study.

  
  

How to Use It:

• Skim the material briefly before starting to read in-depth.

• Look at headings, subheadings, diagrams, and summaries to get a sense of the structure.

• Identify key concepts you might already know or need to focus on.

Tips on how to use it properly:

• Focus on understanding the big picture, main ideas, and key concepts without memorizing details.

• Aim to explain the topic's main ideas and their connections but not in detail.
