Oringally i am from Pine Bluff Arkansas and when moving here the words T.A.A.S. test scared me. It was hard for me to adapt to such a test that was desinged to confuse you. I remeber back when I was in fourth grade and my teacher would have me read to the class and she was suprised that my test scores were so low. One day after class to my suprise

Wow, that's pretty cool Jordan. I remember taking notes in the margin for TAKS as well. I really started doing that in the eighth grade after my teacher taught the method to us. After I started using the it, I did so much better and got commendable scores in English every year after that.

This is probably the best to study for any book. I am not used to be writing notes all the time while reading but it is good that you learned that when you were younger.

I am glad that works out for you so well. I do not agree with the note taking as sometimes it distracts me when I am reading a story, and I end up forgetting what I read faster, but I could understand how that would help one to remember the story. Taking notes makes one actually think about the text when they write it down.

Haha, I gotta agree with Laxguru. Its pretty cool that, that has helped you better remember what you have read. But at the same time I agree with Mmcneal2 because if I concentrate too much on what I should be writing next well that just ends uo making me forget what I had just read. But glad its worked out for you.
