Steps
Before class starts, write the date, subject and topic name at the top of a fresh page. This makes notes easy to find later.
Skim the topic in your textbook for two or three minutes. Jot down two or three questions you want answered during the class.
Keep the class window open and your notes beside it. Put your phone on silent so notifications do not break your focus.
Write only the main points and definitions, not every word the teacher says. Use short phrases and your own words.
Leave a wide margin on the left of each page. Use it later for keywords, formulas and question numbers.
When the teacher draws a diagram or solves a sum, copy the steps quickly and mark it with a star to redo later.
If you fall behind, write the timestamp or a short gap mark and keep listening. Fill the gap after class instead of stopping.
In the last five minutes, read your notes and add any missed points while the class is still fresh.
Within a day, rewrite the messy parts in short bullet points and add the margin keywords. Then try the practice questions.
Tips and common mistakes
Do not try to write every sentence the teacher speaks, or you will stop listening.
Use abbreviations you understand, like 'def' for definition and 'eg' for example, to save time.
Mark anything you did not understand with a question mark and ask it in the next class or doubt session.
Review your notes the same evening for ten minutes; it saves hours before the exam.
Questions
Should I write notes on paper or on a tablet?
Either works. Paper is faster for diagrams and sums, while a tablet lets you search and reorganise notes. Pick one and stick with it so your notes stay in one place.
What if the teacher speaks too fast to keep up?
Write only headings and key points during class, then fill in the details from the recording or textbook afterwards. Listening well matters more than writing everything.
How do I take notes if I miss part of the class?
Ask a classmate for their notes for that part, or check the recording if one is available. Add the missing points to your page and mark them so you review them again.
