<p>So I have to read like more than half of my AP Euro textbook by next Thursday for a test, but every time I pick up the book and attempt to read it, I just get distracted or bored or something along those lines and can't seem to actually absorb any of the information.</p>
<p>Any tips? =/</p>
<p>Turn off your computer, lock your door, and read an entire chapter, no matter the length. Straight through. It’s painful and it’s a huge chunk of text that you will mostly forget, but you’ll remember the gist. Then take a four day break and repeat.</p>
<p>Try making an expanded outline like you would in a science class. I have this very useful because it makes you stop and think about what you just read and also results in you having a nice little study guide.</p>
