[QUOTE="axelbeugre, post: 151489, member: 30937"] [USER=2672]@Jessica Booker[/USER] has already shared Jaysen's advice which I think it is pretty useful already. What I can add is something I already shared here which is: [LIST=1] [*]Read the article carefully once without taking any notes. Read it again and once you are done, write down what you remembered about the article. Read it again, and take notes whilst reading.
