1) Take notes of everything you read.
2) Read the chapters multiple times, and at least once, read it out loud.
3) Create cue cards, and ask questions on the front of the card, and write the answer on the reverse. This serves two purposes: the act of creating the cards helps your memory, plus the time studying (with a friend asking the questions, if possible) also intensifies the material.
I would work on one chapter at a time. Boring though it might seem, you need to get the information out of the "inbox" and into the "filing system". Once you get it into the longer term memory, it should be easier to access
Spend at least 3 days on each chapter, reviewing, reading out-loud, creating cue cards. Hopefully you will discover the information is retrievable from your own mental files after that!
Question and Answer pages should not be considered as medical advice. It is only a means of communication among survivors.
