EPA Section 608 Regulations

Highlight the question, underline the answer

Don't just tab your books — mark them as you practice. Every time a question sends you into a reference, leave a two-part mark behind: highlight the passage the question is about, and underline the exact words that answer it. Do this through your whole question bank and the book turns into a map of the tested material — so on exam day you recognize the spot, not just the section.

1. 1

   Highlight what the question asks about

   When you look up a practice question, highlight the sentence or table the question turns on. That block is now a visual landmark you'll spot on a fast flip.

2. 2

   Underline the exact answer

   Inside the highlight, underline the specific number, deadline, or phrase that is the answer — with a fine-tip pen. Highlight = the topic; underline = the fact.

3. 3

   Color-code by what trips you up

   Use one highlighter color for deadlines and numbers, another for definitions, a third for the answers you got wrong twice. Your weak spots become the brightest marks in the book.

4. 4

   Let your tabs and marks compound

   A tab gets you to the chapter; the highlight gets you to the paragraph; the underline gets you to the answer. Built up across a full question bank, that three-layer trail is the open-book skill the exam actually tests.

The reference lists allow underlining with pen or highlighter, bar handwritten and typewritten notes in the books, and bar making any marks during the exam — so every mark goes in before you walk in, and none of them can be written notes.
