• A. Survey, Read, Question, Retrieve, Review
• B. Survey, Question, Read, Retrieve, Review
• C. Question, Survey, Read, Retrieve, Review
• D. Survey, Question, Read, Review, Retrieve

Answer: (B)

SQ3R is a study routine that moves you from getting an overview of a text to actively recalling what you’ve learned, and then reinforcing it with a final review. The best sequence is Survey, Question, Read, Retrieve, Review. First you survey to get the big picture and structure. Then you form questions to set a purpose for reading. Next you read to find the answers and gather details. After that you retrieve—pull the information from memory and summarize it—so you practice recalling what you’ve learned, which strengthens retention. Finally you review to fill in gaps and solidify understanding. This retrieval-focused step is why the sequence with Retrieve fits best, since actively recalling information improves memory more effectively than simply rereading or passively reviewing.
