Active Reading and Note-Taking

Mastering Reading for the CLEP Humanities Exam

Active reading means engaging with the text as you go, not just passively absorbing information. Try highlighting main ideas, writing questions in the margins, and summarizing sections in your own words.

Note-Taking Tips

  • Use charts or diagrams to organize information about different artists, writers, or time periods.
  • Create flashcards for key terms and concepts.

Staying involved with the material helps you remember more and makes studying less boring!

Examples

  • Making a timeline of major art movements.

  • Writing a summary of each chapter in your own words.
