Adapted from Study Guide, St. Thomas University

 Day One  After you have read and recited the entire assignment related to a topic (such as assault),  write questions for those points you have highlighted/underlined in the margins. If your method of recitation included note-taking in the left hand margins of your notebook, write questions for the notes you have taken.
Day Two  Page through the casebook and/or your notebook to re-acquaint yourself with the important points. Cover the right hand column of your casebook/note-book and orally ask yourself the questions in the left hand margins. Orally recite or write the answers from memory. Make "flash cards" for those questions which give you difficulty. Develop mnemonic devices for material which need to be memorized.
Days Three, Four and Five  Alternate between your flash cards and notes and test yourself (orally or in writing) on the questions you formulated. Make addtional flash cards if necessary.
Weekend Using the text and notebook, make a Table of Contents - list all the topics and sub-topics you need to know from the reading . From the Table of Contents, make a Study Sheet/ Spatial Map. Recite the information orally and in your own words as you put the Study Sheet/Map together. 

Now that you have consolidated all the information you need for that chapter, periodically review the Sheet/Map so that at test time you will not have to cram.
