Can you share a few hacks that you use for notemaking?
So all of us use some hacks for notemaking. Some people use evernote, some use old pen and paper, some use A4 sheets and compile it at the end. What is the few hacks that you use for notemaking?
Here are some of my thoughts:
UseSmall Pdf word converter to convert PDF into word doc. Word Docs aremore easy to manipulate.
Example, you can convert any topper's typed notes, whichever you like and use them as base to make your own modified notes.
Rather than typing 10 bullet points on something, say features of Rule of Law, it would be better to turn it into a mindmap and pasting it along with your notes. Pictorial memory >Typing Memory.
Write shorter and crisp sentences in your digital notes. You will be gaining marks for your copy not your notes.
Liberally use +,-,% to shorten your statements.
Example: The highlighted and the underlined sentence say the same thing but the highlighted one appears longer.Make audio notes of the factsthat you want to mug up. A 2 minute recording of your own voice can help you mug up one page of factual info. Try it.
I memorized the order of Sikh Gurus, Bhakti Saints and their individual achievement, using this.
Flash notesare helpful in memorizing stuff accurately.Ankiis a incredibly great tool, if mugging up is not your forte.
It may appear slightly difficult in the beginning. Once you get comfortable, you can make playful notes to remember stuff.
Example of a flash card, which did not harm any celeb.
Lastly,@Neyawn once suggested somewhere to print your notes, in the time of revision. It might appear costly or even beating the purpose of Online notes, but it helps in revision in crunch time.
Never pay a single dimefor Microsoft products. Google drive works equally beautifully. Microsoft exploits big time.
Hoping that it will help some of you.
P.S The upper comment got broken somehow.Whats Anki?
Anki is flash card making software, basically useful for memorization. It uses tried and tested algorithms to bring out the flash card based on their forgettability in front of your eyes.
i use pen and paper.
now i just tear pages from monthly since i realised that:
-no brownies for notemaking
-exam scenario is survival mode. that means
-if i dont absorb anything, ill only write general points
so whatever is absorbed very properly never needs to be noted down.
hence less focus on compiling notes. more on understanding as well as i can
Really? How's it done?
On ipad you can use readdle documents app. I think it's the best app for PDFs particularly if you also want to sync your PDFs in onedrive and Google drive. On Android you may use moon+reader.
