Reddit mentions of BCP Round Shaped Multi Colors Liner Highlighter Watercolor Pen for Office Use

I have this issue and I was a literature and writing major.

Are you in a 4 year school or in a community college?

You need highlighters of many colors. I would get something like this. You won't be messing with a ton of highlighters. You have 1.

Go through your questions. Say you are reading about Dante and they ask, "Of which Florentine political party was Farinata a leader?" The important parts of that question are "political party" and "Farinata". Highlight those in a color.

Go through your other questions and highlight pertinent information. Just the keywords. At the top of the text write down 1. political party Farinata. 2. xxxxx etc

To answer it, you just need to scan. Don't worry about reading for the test. Just scan the entire article starting at the beginning for Farinata. Prof's usually write tests in the order found in the text.

For my reading. I would use Cornell Notes. For nonfiction it was easy. Every chapter was a sheet. Every section was a bold section. I'd pick 2 or 3 points from each section and write it down. When I was done, I'd write a summary and some key questions. I'd approach it section by section. I wouldn't approach it as a whole chapter because it overwhelmed me too much. For fiction, I'd first go online and find a summary of each chapter so it was broken down for me. I would then do the Cornell Notes again. I would write down the characters in the book and write down major things they did. Then I would write down major plot changes, any literary devices, etc. I would then write down important questions and summary. (When I had my Shakespeare class, I watched the old school BBC version and then read the play so I could actually understand what the hell what was going on.) But remember, reading a summary of a text online, is not a substitution for reading the actual text.

When it came time for tests, I'd copy my notes. I'd put all the summaries in order on one page. I'd write out all the questions to go over.

I know this seems like a lot. Trust me. This system took me a lot of time. I was able to cut it down a lot as time went on with my version of shorthand. I sometimes had 200-300 pages of reading a week. I did have accommodations to have audio books, but it didn't help. I found that I worked better if I listened to music and either sat in a coffee house or in the library at school.

I had accommodations in college. I had time and a half for tests. Which helped a lot. I also got to type all my essays instead of handwriting them.
