7 Tips For Making Short Notes
1. Don’t use only blue pen.
Usually we use blue for everything we write. Even the title is written in blue and underlined in red. That’s why blue color is very familiar to us. Because of that familiarity, sometimes these things are more likely to be forgotten. Make the shot note in red, green and similar colors as possible. Do not use colors like red and pink. There is a high chance of forgetting these things because of the eye trouble.
2. Use highlighters.
Highlight the book you are studying. Now usually we take the most important points of the note in the short note. You can then highlight the most important points with the highlighters. But don’t highlight the whole book. Take as many important things as possible. After that, when taking other short notes, you can highlight some keywords, if there is something like a year. Then you can easily remember those things.
3. Try to write from memory.
Now usually we are used to looking at the book while writing a short note. So, more than this, you can read the notes in the book and remember the things you and write things that you remember (maybe not all). Likewise, you can read the book again and again later and put it in the short notes from memory.
4. Think more about those who appeared in Past Papers.
You should definitely pay attention to this. Most of the time, the questions of previous years’ papers are more likely to appear again in your paper. Therefore, you must be very careful about what you are studying today and collect the notes from the previous past papers when you making short notes.
5. Draw diagrams while writing.
Usually you will feel bored while writing the note continuously. At such times, you can add a diagrams related to the lesson to the short note. You may not be able to draw very well. However, don’t forget to add a diagram as you can. Because a picture has a much higher chance of going to the head than letters.
6. Write in spoken language.
Many people think that a short note means that you write the notes in your book by crushing the same letters. There is nothing like that, this is done to make a note of essential things as simply as possible. So, you can get rid of the complicated language pattern in the book and simply write while drawing the diagrams in the shot note as you understand it, as mentioned before. Then you can enjoy reading without getting bored.
7. Use shortcuts.
Just like the poem we made to remember the eight directions, remember these things to create poems and stories like this yourself. Then many things will remain in your memory.
These are the 7 tips for making short notes. By using above tips, you can make proper short notes for studying.
