Making notes is one of the best things that you as a student can learn in your school. Not to mention, this ideal learning helps you go a long way in pursuing your academic and professional dreams. Right notes help students in preparing for exams at the last moment.
And, in fact, IIT-JEE aspirants should be one step ahead to grasp this as early as possible.
Although all students know the benefits of making notes, not all of them can master the art of making notes effectively. Hence, we have compiled a list of few tips that you as a student can use to make quality notes.
1.  Keep Your Notes Short
The idea of writing notes is to help you remind everything about the topic you’ve studied instantly. It shouldn’t be too long and fussy. Keep it short and simple for your own benefit.
2.  Keep Your Notes Brief
Write your notes as brief as possible. The best way to do this is write in keywords.
3.  Articulate Your Notes
Articulate your notes to remember them. For example, if you are studying about World War-II then better discuss this topic with your friends or teacher.
4.  Highlight
Highlight important points with color pens.
5.  Use Mind Maps
You should also use mind maps, flowcharts, spider diagrams while writing notes.
