The students who revise fastest are not the ones who read the most – they are the ones with the best notes. Here are proven note-making methods that actually work.
The Cornell method
Divide your page into three parts: a narrow left column for cues/questions, a wide right column for notes, and a summary strip at the bottom. It makes self-testing effortless.
Mind maps
Put the chapter name in the centre and branch out with keywords, arrows and small drawings. Perfect for seeing how ideas connect and revising a whole chapter on one page.
One-liners & formula sheets
For facts, dates and formulas, short one-liners beat long paragraphs. Keep a running formula sheet per subject for the final week.
Make them yours
Write notes in your own words – that is where the learning happens. Colour-code, highlight, and keep them neat enough to revise from.
