Round 1: Comprehension Pass (Skim + Highlight)
Read one section per day.
Don’t highlight everything — highlight only:
Process purpose statements
Tables that summarize activities
Write a 1–sentence summary of each process in your own words.
“Stakeholder Needs Definition: converts stakeholder inputs into validated system requirements.”
Round 2: Condensation Pass (Notes + Concept Maps)
Once you’ve skimmed the whole book:
Go back chapter by chapter.
Convert highlights → concise notes or flashcards.
Create flow diagrams (e.g., Requirements → Architecture → Design → Integration → Verification → Validation).
Make a one-page summary per process (Purpose, Inputs, Outputs, Roles, Key Concepts).
Round 3: Active Recall + Application
Now that you have condensed notes:
Use flashcards (Anki or Quizlet) — not for definitions, but for relationships:
“What comes before Integration?”
“What are the main outputs of Stakeholder Needs Definition?”
Do practice questions after each chapter (there are ASEP-style question banks online).
Practice explaining each process out loud — if you can explain it clearly, you know it.
Round 4: Simulation & Weak Spot Reinforcement
Take 2–3 full-length mock exams.
After each, review mistakes → trace back to the process in the book → re-read only that section.
Keep your summary sheets and mind maps visible — daily 15-minute refreshers.
Memorization Hack (For “Wordy” Material)
Chunk & Connect — Group related processes (Requirements, Architecture, Design).
Use mnemonics — e.g., “R-A-D-I-V-V” for Technical Processes sequence.
Teach someone — explaining forces your brain to compress information.
Spaced repetition — revisit each summary every 3–4 days.
By the end of your study:
You should have a 20–25 page summary of the entire handbook.
You should be able to recite each process’s purpose and its inputs/outputs without the book.
You should have completed at least 3 mock exams and corrected your weak areas.
