Hi Ricky

1. You can write down trigger words during postview, during which you have more time. You should spend as little time as possible during preview. If you find yourself reading during preview, that means you are not on right path. Just sense the structure. Yes you are right, you should write your trigger words as soon as you find it. This helps to activate the information faster.

2. I think its more of a text book than a general kind of book where you need more information for the exam purpose. For such kind of books use textbook strategy as explained in many of the threads in the forum.

Hope it helps.
Happy PRing.
