Best Method of Going Through Review Book

I like to annotate big ideas of each paragraphish on the side if there’s big margins.
I tried this for APUSH: I wrote questions for each main idea. I ran through the questions to see if I could answer and lecture on the topic. If I couldn’t, I’d highlight the question to come back to it. I’d then weed out the questions I knew. Then I went back and ran through the highlighted. I’d knock off a few easily. Then, for the ones I still didn’t know for the second runthrough, I’d highlight in a diff color/star it/what have you.
Wash rinse repeat until the whole thing’s lectureable.

I’ve also done “term maps”, where I take the big ideas/terms and mapped them together and basically did the lecture thing agin.

I suppose this would work with chem as well, at least for the concepts. I’m also studying for SAT2 Chem with the Barrons after having taken AP! Have you worked through the whole book yet? I haven’t. :I I am approximately 30 pages in. /afughhh
