The importance of note taking
• Examiners mark your notes!
• A. Making yourself take notes forces you to listen and watch more carefully and test your understanding of the clip
• B. When you are reviewing, notes guide you in writing a better and more detailed response
• C. Personal notes help you remember more and in your own way so it makes more sense
How to take notes
• Use key words instead of full sentences
• Use abbreviations and symbols - but stay consistent
• Use anagrams to help you remember
• Make notes on as much as you can
• Break it down – don’t look for everything at once
