For review

Once you have done all of the above, you’ll find you have created your own personalized study guide. Cover the main sections of the page and use the key words and questions in the left margin as a quiz.

Stick to it

Review your notes the day you take them and all your notes once a week. That way, you won’t need to study as much when it is test time. You have been doing the work all along.

Try out the Cornell note system, but if that doesn't work for you, experiment with other methods. Ask your classmates how they take notes or ask a teacher for advice. Taking good notes requires practice, like any other skill. And the more you work at it now, the more prepared you’ll be to take notes in college.

Durring class

One approach that has been proven effective is called the Cornell note taking system. Here are some of its methods. Start by using the main section of your page to take down notes during class. Be sure to leave space on the left side of the page and bottom. Things to keep in mind

·         Get the speakers main points. Don’t write down every word you hear.

·         Leave blanks in your notes to add explanations later.

·         Organize as you write. Pay attention to cues suck as repetition and emphasis.

·         Indicate main and supporting points as you go.

·         Jot down key vocabulary, important facts and formulas.

·         Ask questions. If you are confused, it is better to ask while the material is fresh in your mind
