How to get your class notes into shape

Getting the most out of high school and college means studying harder and using your time in class wisely. An effective note-taking strategy can help you with both. Here are the basics.

Stay organized

It may seem obvious, but your class notes only help you if you can find them. When you’re taking notes be sure to:

·       Keep all your notes in one place

·       Date and number the pages; keeping them in order makes it easier to understand them later.

Before class

Review the materials assigned for that class period thoroughly. bring a list of any questions you may have.
