TOC and Index method
If I have to test on a topic I know sort of intuitively but look thing up each time I do it because I do it infrequently I do the follow to have all the details current.
I take a trusted source of information on the topic and paste the text into a word processor that can build table of contents and Indexes.
Step 1 I use the Multilevel TOC heading feature and create a heading for each paragraph of the document. Splitting long paragraph into pieces. The act of having to write headings per paragraph means you have pay attention to the core meaning of it. (I use a 5 or 6 level deep Toc)
Step 2. Create an Index at the end of the document and use the semi automated Key word tagger to mark all occurrence of an expression. It should given you a 1 level index entry with many page numbers. Go to each entry and add a 2 level index tag descriptor until all the page numbers have 2 level entries.
By the time you are done you will have visited this document from many angles and repeatably read the information and have a well integrated understanding of it.
If the document has procedural steps to follow when you tag one of those sections decide if you know how to do that or repeat the process for practice.
