  • Be selective: You may not need to take notes on everything. In a book or lecture, look for concepts that might have emphasis or headings that can help you determine major concepts.

  • Re-write: Pay careful attention to each concept, then re-write it in your own words. Not only does this demonstrate that you understand the idea, but topics may be more memorable to you when you think about them using your own language.

  • Summarize: Go back through your notes and summarize each concept in a sentence or two. This will help solidify the information in your mind and make your notes easier to review later.
