How do i study from a textbook?

Okay, I have exams soon. All my Science teacher said is that all units are going to be on it, so I have to study the WHOLE textbook (close to 600 pages) which is nearly impossible since everything is written in paragraphs, so I don't know what to learn, since there's a bunch of unnecessary stuff.



Anyone help? Tips?How do i study from a textbook?
You need a list of the units you need to cover and the important areas of each, look them up as you go on and make short notes of the key points to help you remember. Do some questions to help fix what you have learned and make sure you know each area. If you don't have a list, think carefully about what you have covered, if you have notes check back over them to remind you, then write them down, as you do you should remember more then go back over each area and then check you know how to answer questions without the text book after each unit.How do i study from a textbook?
one of the points of an exam is to discover how much of the WHOLE semester you actually learned. Semesters were 15 weeks long when I went to school and so you were asked to learn only 40 pages a week -- that's reasonable.



clearly, at this late date, the only thing you can do is to skim the parts you already know and learn the parts you don't know.How do i study from a textbook?
