How do you retain all or most of what you read?
After I read a long ass reading some of the imformation seems to slip from my mind when I'm asked on it later. I remember the most important facts because I highlight/underline them but some semi-important info disappears from my mind. Reading slower has helped somewhat but slows down my reading to like 20 pages in 1.5-2 hours. Any advice?

You don't. Are you in your second semester? You don't really need to know all the little details of every reading to do well on a law school exam, and getting called on in class doesn't really matter.redgreenpaper wrote:After I read a long ass reading some of the imformation seems to slip from my mind when I'm asked on it later.

Ah I see. Try taking very brief notes. Like 2-5 bullet points of the main points or themes for a paper or something.redgreenpaper wrote:yeah im going to get a ton of shit for this but im in undergrad. im just asking in general
