Note-taking: The secret to being EFFECTIVE + FAST

Your the only studytuber who gives realisitic and different advices

Amy you are one of the best youtubers who films videos about studies,mindsets, and your a lifesaver for me! I have been watching your videos since a long time and never have I regretted watching ur videos

I am from India. I was one of the top students a year back, but now I have become a mediocre student. This is because they sent me to a new class with a new set of teachers. I didn't listen to the class properly and even fell asleep a lot of times. I studied just to maintain my reputation before. But now that I've lost all my reputation, how can I regain confidence in my potential and become the same person I was one year back?

Summary: 1. Ask for PowerPoint Pages or Printed Notes: Request PowerPoint slides or printed notes from the teacher to save time during class and focus on understanding concepts. 2. Functionality Over Prettiness: Prioritize functionality over aesthetic appeal in note-taking. Use color coding sparingly, such as highlighting lesson titles, important formulas, and key concepts. 3. Blind Copying is Okay: It's acceptable to blindly copy notes when unable to fully engage in class due to fatigue or other reasons. Don't stress about capturing every detail in real-time; focus on getting the main points. 4. Increase Writing Speed: Improve writing speed to keep up with the pace of the lecture. Utilize abbreviations and shorthand to expedite note-taking. 5. Don't Copy Diagrams on the Spot: Listen and absorb visual information during class, then recreate diagrams later when reviewing notes. Take pictures of diagrams during class to reference when revising notes. 6. Save Space for Annotations: Leave margins and space under each topic for annotations from verbal explanations or additional insights. Prioritize annotating verbal explanations over copying content from the board or slides. 7. Add, Don't Redo: Continuously update existing notes instead of rewriting them. Incorporate new information, insights, or references from textbooks, homework, or class discussions directly into existing notes. 8. Efficiently Study Your Notes: When studying, jump straight into homework or problems and reference notes as needed. Organize notes visually to facilitate quick retrieval of information. Create links between notes, homework, and other study materials to enhance comprehension and retention. 9. Study Homework and Bucketed Information First: Study homework assignments and condensed concepts first before delving into detailed notes. Utilize highlighting and breaks in notes to aid in studying and comprehension. 10. Beat Procrastination: Overcome procrastination to leverage well-prepared notes effectively. Utilize strategies to manage procrastination and maintain focus on studying.

The thing I love about her is that she's super realistic and her tips actually make sense. Unlike other studytubers, she doesn't, what should I say aestheticify? (lol) her videos and keep them real. I have a request, can you please make a video on whether some over-hyped stationery items or digital gadgets (specifically apple products) are worth it? Thankyou!

hi amy, I was wondering if you could do a video about studying at home when it's rlly...not conducive? like if your parents are yelling a lot and you can't focus, or if you have strict parents that don't let you use headphones / go out to study etc.

This girl is the only Realistic accademic improvement channel, love your tips and so glad i found you at the perfect time!( Right before finals ended)

Amy........I am left speechless. How do you collect these exquisite academic tips. I have never ever saw anyone else giving this THIS much realistic tips..... I have been following you for quite a while and I totally see the results in my academic...

Amy is the literal definition of beauty with brains!!

i swear ive seen millions of note taking videos but none of them said anything important than cornell note taking meathod so happy to be part of the A' team

I love these so much mainly because I’ve already been doing most of them XD a side note as well: remember that your notes are for your future self. I write down the little details that others might not if I think it’ll be useful for my future self. I also like to write the date at the start of my notes for that day so that if someone else needs notes from a specific day, it’s easily accessible and I’ll know what I learned on a given day

Amy I'm really finding this type of effective guidance everywhere, finally get that 😊 Now one more member to your family 😀

Thank you for this , it’s so helpful!

Hi Amy!! Hope you are doing good! I won't add to your points for this video but the content was great! linking everything is definitely going to help in the long run! Anyway, I just wanted to say how wonderful your videos have become, the avatar one was so creative and the editing on this one is amazing! When you said 'A-team' ( 9:12 ), the zoom-in made me audibly gasp! keep being awesome, Amy!

Perfect video!!! So helpful, thank you!!

Love you Amy❤ You're the best :)

Thank you so much!

Hello Amy! Thanks for the tips but I have some questions : How do I read comprehensions faster and answer them well? Also, how do I train myself to write, think and recall faster so that I can complete my papers faster? Also, any tips for SAT English?

My science teacher asked us to read a whole paragraph saying that it'll come for the exam... But it didn't, imagine all the hard work. And now, our teachers are telling us to read the text book because they're not gonna tell us which of the damn lessons would be coming.

I like the way u highlight. I did the same way and it's way better than doing the thick one
