- You've probably always been told to make notes whilst studying but usually, this can be a waste of time, especially if you're spending hours on the layout, diagrams, colour scheme etc. Do we actually go back to our notes to revise them? Are there alternative and more effective ways of studying that will save you a lot of time? In this video, I explain why I don't make notes and how I use my whiteboard to study.

I never loved making notes. I hardly read from them. Even when i made notes i would read from the text book at the last minute. Noting the fact that I'm a slow writer it takes up so much of my time. I'm glad to see there are many people like me here. It is comforting indeed.
Same... I read from hard copy.. And underline again and again...and try to memorise directly. .. Even during exams... I revise directly from my underlined hardcopy.....,🤘🤘🤘
:)
Yes..same here
Yeah I do agree with you making notes from textbook doesn't help me at all . I prefer reading textbook .
But sometimes I do make notes but it is modified .
I write what I learnt from the topic without seeing my book .
Really I also don't like to make notes
this was helpful! i felt so unproductive today. literally spent 2 hours writing notes for such a tiny topic.
I'm glad you found it useful. Good luck with your studies :)
@@koko2468100 are you still uploading? 😿
Lol I'm just trying to get my life together and find a time to film and edit but I'm planning a new video :)
@@koko2468100 so excited! i love how you still still reply to comments < 3
Finally I got🤑
This is really helpful, i hate taking notes lol thank you so much!
:)
Same 😁😁
I became more effective since I stoped making notes. No colored pencils, highlighters and pens are nessessary to study. I felt that I was losing my prescious time. All I need is mechanical pencil, eraser and books. Or I find book online in pdf, download it and I study directly from digital book. Using tablet and stylus pen.
YESSS
I will tell u a hack. Notes are quick information that u can quickly read instead of reading the whole chapter. First when u are writing notes make short and 2nd don't start taking notes without reading the chapter. read the chapter underline the important information and write it down. U don't hv 2 write the whole chapter. Then you are not going to copy the exact words from the book. Understand 1 paragraph and write it down in ur own words. And by this u can write notes and revise the chapter. I hope u like this information
I actually had a method like this in mind. I'm glad to have found this video where I can see it in action. Personally, I haven't been a fan of taking notes since I've found that I barely look at them. Awesome video and explanation! This will definitely help me study better 😄
just. ace TBH I never make notes, my parents tell me it's a bad habit but I never use any notes I take, I find it better to write in the study material itself
Studying biology and making notes is like labor work...it's a whole lot to write...my hands go numb at times...I'm gonna try your method 🙂
yess omg let me know how it goes :)
True 😂
it's like wririting your texbooks

Amit Bisht lmao king
I can relate to this too much, anatomy and taking notes is a nightmare....it takes me hours and hours 😭
❤️india
i really hope that my teachers take note of this later than demanding me to make notes and submit it
active research, active reading, and active listening is key.
This is how I study. And I have my board exam in June. Writing really is not my style
I agree this is the best method, but I just wanted to feel comforted that someone else and a higher level of education does this also (lol). I find that making notes passively for all that time (which I have done before) is a waste of time. What I might add is that once I've committed the info to memory, I'll make an anki flashcards to review later. :-)
Yess I've been doing this for years and anki is helpful but I'm too lazy to make them lol
Wow You think just like me. Many people tell that notes are important to study but i always thought that they were waste of my time and My studying technique is exactly like yours. Now i feel more confident in my technique... I thought i was doing it all wrong because people kept telling me to make notes and I slowly became unsure of myself. You gave me a boost of confidence. Thank you
Same... I read from hard copy.. And underline again and again...and try to memorise directly. .. Even during exams... I revise directly from my underlined hardcopy.....,🤘🤘🤘
I'm so gladdd!!!!
I write notes to learn concepts as I combine different resources then convert them to flashcards. I find that I learn better this way but then I hardly read my notes
I prefer making notes Coz it helps us to remember better
Even me I was so obsessed with notetaking ....even it consumed a lot a time for me to write notes...I wanted it aesthetic...but I failed...I'm going to follow this method...thank u soo much u deserve a lot of luv 💜💜💜💜🥺✨
you saved my life girl ❤❤❤❤❤ i was suffering with taking notes specially i study in the last moment ..so they wasn't helpful at all thank u so muuuch
nd i watched all ur videos u r amazing keep going nd best of luck !!!
Every time I have made notes in the past I have wasted hours on one subtopic and essentially learn nothing. But today I watched some videos and did practice questions and feel I have learnt so much more. Like you said I’m likely to forget but I think if I keep doing Videos->Practice questions I will be able to learn all the content! Or at least I hope..
Could this also be called active reading? Really engaging in the material that you read and have to learn but with the endgoal to memorize it on the spot, while reading it.
YES
I love taking notes , help summerise everything I learn , making it easier to study for exam , but I don't have that luxury anymore 😭.
I study with focus for 4 hours with pmd technique BUT?! When it comes to notes...GOSH I SUCK SO BAD!!!
I don't like making notes and I hardly did it back in college but it does have obvious benefits especially if you're an English major. It helps you come up with answers that not only sound better but are also well organised. English teachers are usually very pleased with well written answers. P.s. by making notes I mean summarising and paraphrasing.
Making notes allows me to remember what I’m writing down as I’m writing down and I memorize my notes ofcourse , I have 45 days
I actually found your point of view really interesting.
And you have a lot of valid points
the main issue with notes taking is that most people don't even know how to take a good note.
The purpose of a note is to make sure that a piece of information is saved, and when needed that little note help you remember that piece of information
BUT in nowadays school no one knows how to take proper notes, so they just assume it's trash and a waste of time
a GOOD note should fit on a memo card not on a notebook page, each notes should be 1 piece of information, maybe with some context but overall should never be bigger than a memo card
and should only contain the real shit you need, there is for example a lot of shit you can easily remember without notes, so the thing you notes NEED to be important to you
passive learning is also an BIG issue, people just copy paste the information they are given, they don't use their own words, don't really work around the concepts, they end up trying to memorize shit they don't even understand
A good way to know if you truly learned something is to explain the concept to a kid or someone else, if they get the idea good you learned your shit and most importantly YOU UNDERSTAND it
in school they teach us to just memorize something for the exams and then poof everything disapear all the "knowledge" that you thought you had is gone because you only tried to memo that shit instead of properly understand it
Quizz are a great way to see how much you remember as well
@need2study yep exactly, copy pasting informations is the worst and most useless way to learn
I forgot to mention that in my previous content so thanks for the "update" haha
Lol, I memorize when I was in lower secondary school, when I comes to higher secondary school, I realized that understand and reading is better for me to score good in exam
This was so helpful as I hate writing notes and I find that a few days later I completely forget what I learnt. I will try this method out for content heavy subjects.
Thank God I've found someone out there who feels the way i do! I hate making notes and wasting paper by doing rough work. Thank you for the idea!
I used to do bunch of flash cards, but it would take me forever to make than to then finally start studying
Omg thank u soo much. It is amazing. I have adhd and anxiety, so it is really hard to me take notes and not worry about like ANYTHING. Your video helped a lot.
I was never made for notes, neither notes were made for me ... We have been enemy since I was a cute little kid. Hope we will ever make sure that we become friends .. 🙂🙂
Edit: I don't remember what I edited
I don't make notes because for me its a waste of time. Whatever is important I write it in book itself because the book won't get misplaced.
I also do the same process....Making notes is an uninteresting task fr me
I agree that making notes don't really help you remember better, by reading and understand is more btter
Awesome to find that I am not the only one to study & think the way I do! Very cool.
Recently,I got the lowest mark in the subject where I was spending the most time making notes. :/
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I also don't like making SELF NOTES
I think studying from book and marking the important things with a highlighter or pencil and revising them is much more helpful...
Because making SELF NOTES waste a lot of time
And at last our syllabus remains incomplete....
I keep on top of my notes tho so it’s not time consuming. It’s literally like 10 minutes a day writing notes because I’m on top of them
If it works for you then keep making them. This is just an alternative method if you find yourself being unproductive and wasting time :)
I think its right cuz you don't need notes to study , you can study when you simply read what you need to learn
I love your handwriting and I wanna be a surgeon and study medicine to ❤️
omg my handwriting looks so bad here ahahaha and insha'allah YOU'VE GOT THIS
I read from hard copy.. And underline again and again...and try to memorise directly. .. Even during exams... I revise directly from my underlined hardcopy.....,🤘🤘🤘coz.. I find it a big waste of time to write same thing
I actually like the act of taking notes, but I never look over them and just feel like I waste a TON of time on them
I think I may start doing this, but the only thing I change is once I know I have understood everything properly-feel confident I’ll take a photo of the white board with my phone just to have it for myself just in case. Go back
Making notes take time but when you are revising it save a lot of time 1 pages revision just take 10 min and also all the resources are at one place
Now I understand where I was going wrong. Thanks for this.
Thank you so much💙
I can totally relate to this video. i hate making notes😩 it takes my whole time to makes notes and i endup with zero knowledge
tomorrow is chemistry exam and the content is so heavy . . . my teacher has already given us notes but not summarized, i was thinking of making a summary but (i'm studying last minute) and i don't want to sleep at 2am without even being able to memorise anything after making notes 😔
Summaries are good but if you're studying last minute then just understand and memorise as much as you can and maybe do exam questions :(
@@koko2468100 thank you so much for this quick & helpful reply 🥺💓
We share the same learning method! I use Notepads instead of whiteboard. I don't take notes at all. I'm in ABSN. No notes for me.
Ooooooh thank you sis you saved my life I’ve been trying to stay away from making notes but there are many videos that says to make note by our own i was so stressed 😫 now sis you saved my life from it thank you soooooo much. from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
This is such an interesting method. I will try that tomorrow with my biochem content
That's really useful we spend lot of hours to make notes on a tiny topic
Gonna try this. I dislike taking notes, to me it's just doing it for the sake of doing it.
My board's are near and I found a precious video thankyou thankyou so much ❤️❤️❤️
what should i do if i don't even use notes during exams but still score very good, and teachers threaten to beat us if we don't make notes
Hey, I’ve been making flash cards (with questions) for chemistry and bio but I’m not sure if it will be effective or a time waste. Also next year is a-levels so I wanna get ready before it. 😰someone plz tell me.
Ohh flashcards are good. I used to make them for the exam questions I used to get wrong but I didn't manage to go through them all. If you know you'll use them and they're useful then make them. I should make an A-levels tips video...
@@koko2468100 omg thank you for replying🥰 I’m testing to see if it works for these GCSEs and if they don’t then I’ll look for a new way for a levels ig
i love taking notes but I don't know how to, at first i try to write everything every little thing and later i came to know all those are useless and I hadn't written the important parts, at the end it always feel like i should make a new regsiters for notes even rn im thinking that but i have only 3 months to prepare for finals so im scared what if it's a waste of time
also i have multiple regsiters to study from so i would like to have all of them combined also im the type of person who would tear the page if i don't like my handwriting and it's same with the notes i made during the start of the session
Is this method works in competetion exam.There are lot of subjects to read like History,Political,science,Economics...actually im also think that making notes is Waste of time but sometimes i got confuse making notes is Right or Wrong😌
It really depends on what works better for you. Personally, note-taking wastes my times and I find myself to be more productive using the whiteboard method.
Yeah, i am never doing so. Unless the contents are absent from the books.
I need full notes of mitosis and meiosis
Oh my god this is so helpful.. like I would never have thought of this. It is such a low commitment active recall process and so less time taking . Thank you for this ❤️❤️
If you have to refer back to a word you remember writing in your notes how do you do that ?
I'm glad you found it useful :) I either just research the word or I remember the lecture where it was mentioned and scroll through my slides until I find it
At first I was like, why are you cutting off your head, and then I thought to myself, in a way it kind of removes distraction no matter what kind of face one has.
LOOOOL it was a phase but I show my head now :)
ib hvae to do 3 lectures daily online total of 6 hrs and extra 3 for writing notes. with zero real information in head objective information though i get the pdf notes. now going to change the strategy. thank you.
Can I suggest a video idea?
You should make how to apply Pomodoro technique effectively?
Yesss thank you for the suggestion I love the Pomodoro method :)
@@koko2468100 😊no need thanks family
Yup, I freakin' hate taking notes. They're useful for sure, but aaaaghh.
How to revise fastly with out having notes?
But how else can we study if they don’t give complete review materials? Everything is taught on a prerecorded video which is like almost 12 hours long, I need to get those additional important info that the teachers say in rhe video cause teachers don’t put all the info on the material for us to “listen”. Also there’s no textbook or anything. I have no other choice but to take notes because simply watching the video is way more passive than taking notes
wow!! Great video
Everyone have different capacity to understand from different materials Some may makes notes and some may not.
I kinda donot get that satisfaction reading from notes that get in reading books and marked points .
Excellent idea
I loved this. Thank you!! :)
saying don't take notes while still taking notes in a shorter form lol
But if I don't write I usually get anxious 😭
Bold of you to assume that I took notes in the first place
i don't take also and i use chunking to understand things

Good-evening. If, the strategy works for you, good.
Thank you, for the video. Your the best.

Giiiirl I found ur moroccan ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇲🇦 and I was looking for someone like me hates notes because simply useless and they limit u from searching more and reading
do you think there is a way to study with an apple pencil? like i bought an apple pencil not knowing that writing notes isnt affective and i dont wanna waste my money......
Yea you can use your iPad aw your white baord
Helpful video！！Thank you so much! 👍👍
Thanks, this is awesome!
I don't think so !!
without notes , i can't feel satisfaction about completing my syllabus
That's fair whatever works best for you :)
@@koko2468100 😇😊
Please answer me should I study on paper or whiteboard?😭
thank you this has been useful
Can this technique get you a 1st? I’m doing biomed btw
Yes of course but alongside this technique, you also have to ensure you understand the content, do practice questions, put the hours in etc
This video is Gold ❤
But how much time it will take for each slide? 🤔
Really thank you so much
how long does it take you do to this??
As long as it takes my brain to retain the information. Sometimes I put it off and just go back to it a few days or weeks later to see how much I've remembered :)
What if there are no lecture slides or anything? For my 2 current classes, we just have the textbooks
Good Method!
Is the look cover check method the same as the blurting method?(I know I’m late watching this video)
Does this help with understanding and memorizing at the same and if so how would this help with understanding. Been searching on TH-cam but couldn't find any videos on tips for understanding the material.
that's actually quite good keep going
you are amazing girl keep going
@@koko2468100 you are welcome dear
Thank you for this
Can i know your white board size
It's A4 so around 30x20cm
Does this apply to English Literature? I have only 4 month to cover my syllabus and writing the notes is really consuming most of the time for me😭😭
If you've already got all the information in front of you in the form of textbooks, slides etc then you can just work from them straight away instead of copying them out but I'm not sure how it works for literature . Good luck tho :(
@@koko2468100 i don't have any textbooks sadly :( i've been writing short notes now.. i hope In Sha Allah that i'll be able to complete it within 4 month.
Hi, I guess I'm 4 months too late :( but if it helps - I JUST completed my Lit major final year, got a 4.0 GPA throughout the year and I never made notes. Not once. I read extensively and referred to a lot of jstor articles and existing thesis projects to strengthen and supplement my essays. But truly, if it works for you - don't pick up the pen and paper more than you have to. I personally believe it takes time away from reading and revising.
What if the lecturer only puts pictures on the slides? What do you do?
I annotate the slides on Microsoft OneNote and study from that but I also do my own research and read other people's notes to further my understanding :)
what about sums and problems I'm from engineering
This is really a waste of time... When u have to read many materials on the same topic... (Especially in Political Science or International Relations- for instance, u have to read Capitalism from 3 or more different books)
Yessss and I find this technique to be a lot more time efficient and helpful
U'r British accent r awesome 👏👏 G luck with that and keep going
When you work on the white board do you just copy the content out word for word or summarise?
as a bio student, i can relate 😔👊🏻
A Level? Cuz that was hell
@@koko2468100 nooo but next year is o level 😿
So what we gonna do any solution without taking notes
Whiteboard and just learning and understanding from lecture slides/textbooks without just copying them out unnecessarily
Please , how do you call this system?
