Taking notes in class\n1. Sit close to the front of the class to minimize distractions.\n2. Be prepared to keep your notes neat and organized. Use a separate spiral-bound notebook for each subject, or use dividers in your loose-leaf notebook to make separate sections for each subject.\n3. Begin each note taking session at the top of a fresh page. Start by writing down the date.\n4. Do not try to write down everything the teacher says, but do try to record as many facts and ideas as you can. Mark important facts or main ideas with an asterisk or star or underline them.\n5. Use short sentences and phrases and easily remembered abbreviations and symbols. Some commonly used abbreviations and symbols are:\ncf (compare)\nie (that is)\neg (for example)\nw/ (with)\nw/o (without)\n&, + (and)\n= (equals, is)\n6. Write clearly, and leave lots of blank space in the left margin or between ideas in case you need to add information later.\n7. Read over your notes as soon as you can after class. If there is anything you don't understand, ask the teacher at the next class.\n\nTaking notes from textbooks\n1. Organize your paper the same as for class notes.\n2. Put the date at the top of the page.\n3. Write down the name of the book and the chapter or section you will be taking notes from.\n4. Leave space in the left margin or between ideas for your own comments or questions.\n5. Keep textbook notes separate from class notes. Use a separate notebook or a separate section in your loose-leaf notebook.\n6. Get a general idea of what the reading is about.\n7. Read the introduction, headings and subheadings, and any paragraphs that summarize the content.\n8. Look at any illustrations or graphs and charts and read the captions.\n9. Go back and read the chapter or section carefully. Look for the main ideas.\n10. Try not to copy information directly from the textbook into your notes. Instead, summarize the information in your own words. This will help you to concentrate and learn.\n11. If you do copy directly from the textbook, use quotation marks to indicate that it is a direct quotation. Take care to copy the quotation exactly.\n12. Summarize the main ideas at the end of your notes and circle them.\n\n______________________

It depends upon the way you think. We're all different.\n\nFor me, the best way was to always write stuff down. Even if it was a little incoherant. For me, the process of writing makes me remember stuff more. Others remember by saying - so use notecards. Hope this helps.\n\nGood luck.

take notes and study them. Notes are the best way to remember what you need to know for a test.

Find a quiet place where u can't go to sleep and that has a good illumination, Then jot down all the important dates and names. Try not to crowd ur paper with too much info. Just write the necessary. Keep it light. When u done, memorize what u got on the paper. Many of the other things that aren't as important, u can read them and they can stick easily to the main date u have on ur pge.

This is something i was an expert at.  Sometimes I would write on my desk in pencil so i could wipe it off quickly.  Or i would type up a tiny cheat sheet in a super small font and put it in my  sock. I would sit with my foot propped on my other leg so I could see the paper easily. Don't write on the palm of your hand- the inside of your fingers may be better but I still don't recommend it. Just be careful.

Good question!  I used to summarise my notes, then summarise the summaries until I had the whole semester down to about 2 pages of bullet points.  I carried them about with me, and whenever I sat down for a coffee or something, I'd pull out my notes and read them over.  It gets so that you can see the writing on the page when you shut your eyes!  Trust me, it works.  Good luck!

I know this may sound tiring but I do it all the time and it gives me wonderful results. If you rewrite notes and think about them in your head or read them out loud while you write, you just spent a long while studying. You'll come to realize that you won't even need those notes.

i normally write things down and that way i take it in better, even if i'm just copying out. If you have past papers for the exam you should write out the answers for them and learn them. This will give you confidence that you can do some of the questions that came up previously. and - Good Luck!

When I was in college, I would record my lectures or record myself reading my notes.  I would listen to these tapes over and over again. in the car, etc, until I had them memorized.  I would also rewrite my notes the same day I took them down.  This would make them easy for me to read later, and I also would remember them better.  \n\nStudying with a friend and asking each other key questions helps also.

Flashcards and lots of practice are the most effective method for me. I write the character on one side and the English meaning & pronunciation on the other. Then I review (using scratch paper to practice on) sets of cards for a few minutes several times a day. I carry them with me when I go out, review a few cards while riding the bus or train, during meetings at work. This has worked well for me -- I speak, read & write fluently. But it does require steady effort over years & years.
