Remembering a few key words from every page

While reading many students do not understand what is necessary and what is unnecessary part of the page. They give emphasis on both necessary and unnecessary parts. By taking unnecessary parts from the page into their brains, they feel burdened. They try to take too much information, but in reality they cannot remember all those information in time of need.
An ignorant reader wants to remember the whole text at a time, but the brain cannot accept that. The brain can receive one information after another. An ignorant reader also does not want to give pause. As a result, while learning one particular thing, other things also invade the brain. When there is jam of information in their brain, they start wasting their efforts.
Students should know that on average 1-3 words are important to remember from every page. So if a book contains 300 pages, it is advisable that they will remember only 300-900 words. It has been so suggested by teacher Anwar Islam in his book Jey Keu Bhalo Chatro Hotey Parey (anyone can be a good student).
The challenge for a learner is to select one to three words from every page. They must spend time in selecting these 1-3 words. They can write these words on the margin of the page and can try to remember and review them time and again. While doing quick review of the chapters or books, if they only read and remember those limited words they can save much of their time. Also the task of studying will be enjoyable for them--they will feel like reading the book again and again.
There are many students who do not get time to revise the texts. In this process--remembering and focusing on 1-3 words every page--students can revise their texts many times. They can arrange their ideas and concepts and can write better answers in the exams.
It is very necessary for students to revise the chapters and the whole book every now and then. It is advisable that they will revise their texts every week since we, humans, very much tend to forget what we have learned. Just like one needs to take exercise everyday or at least several times every week and that way one have control over one's body and mind, similarly a learner needs to revise every text almost every week. If a student can do so, he or she will be ready to answer from anywhere of the texts. Even if that student falls sick and cannot spend time to take the load before the exam, he or she will not have to worry. He can still expect to directly go to exam hall and perform good in the exam since he or she have very good knowledge of the course-he knows in which page what is said.
When one remembers 1-3 words of every page, one can also expect to perform quite well in the viva. Since in the viva which is held at the end of the semester questions might come from any page of the text, the student can quickly go to that page in his or her mind and will be able to answer promptly.
