FAST-TRACK STUDY GUIDE TEMPLATE (ARTICLE 211)

The purpose of a study guide is to organize your thoughts with the study materials in one place to help you absorb the information. This is a great tool because it can reveal knowledge gaps and confirm what you already know about a given concept.

Here are the steps:

1. Outline the main concepts.
2. Create a quad for each concept to take notes on information new to you.
3. Study in batches by doing a concept quad review. Create additional review intervals depending on the amount of content.
   • 1st review: 1 day after learning a new concept
   • 2nd review: 1st review + 3 days
   • 3rd review: 2nd review +7 days
   • 4th review: 3rd review +14 days
   • 5th review: 4th review +21 days

Update each concept quad, as needed.

When you study, don’t multitask:

• Clear the clutter from your study area
• Turn off notifications on mobile devices
• Log out of all instant messaging programs
• Close all of your Internet browser windows that aren’t related to the concepts

To test your understanding of newly obtained knowledge, look for opportunities to teach others.
