How to Use Your Notes:
-
Sing, or read, your notes out loud. This aids memory retention.
-
Stick your notes EVERYWHERE. Write key information on post-it notes and place it in places you often look: mirrors, by light switches, cupboards, the back of your phone…go wild.
-
Write all the main concepts for a subject on a single piece of paper. This will help you visualise information and the notes become a useful study guide.
-
Record yourself reading notes and play this back repeatedly. If you can’t stand the sound of your own voice, get someone else to read the notes for you.
