Highlighting for Contractors

When preparing for your contractor exam, you may want to highlight your books to organize the information and make it visually clear what the important sections are. However, you must be very careful when highlighting for your exam. Since you don't know what the exam's specific questions will be, you may highlight sections that are irrelevant to the questions you are being asked, which may delay your response time or even confuse you when selecting the correct answer. Highlighting is only helpful if you keep in mind its downsides and use it strategically to study and understand the material, and not rely on it to answer the exam questions. Instead of highlighting, use other tools like tabbing your books to help you locate information faster during your exam.
