Benefits of revision notes:

Taking revision notes is an excellent approach to cut down information and make it easier
and faster to recall.
It allows you to learn better by improving your thinking, reasoning, and visualization skills.
Some key benefits of revision note-taking are as follows:
Revision notes highlight, prioritise, and arrange important information. During a lecture or a
study session, when you note down key points and highlight relevant information, it gives
your brain a whole new dimension to memorise things. In the age of information, we are
provided with a lot of information and study materials. However, it is impossible to go
through all the books right before an exam. In such situations, revision note-taking is a game
changer. Most successful students are able to cut down complete books into brief, crisp notes
such that they retain and recall the important concepts just by going through the revision
notes once. This is why revision notes are invaluable during these hours. Notes should be
written in such a manner that you can cover the entire material with just a few brief revision
notes.
Note taking keeps you mentally involved and helps you avoid distraction. Note taking pushes
you to put important things you learn into your own words. This makes you comprehend
better while listening or reading. It is common for students to sit through a lecture or read a
few pages without being able to focus on the subject; However when you take notes, your
brain will strive to make sense of everything said. Thus, revision notes help in keeping track
of everything already learnt. As a result, it serves as a handy reference for when you're
studying for a test.
Revision notes boost your memory, lowering the likelihood of forgetting. It is easier for us to
remember things we see than things we hear. Notes give the brain a visual image which is
easier to store in the memory. Information gets printed on the brain as a picture and hence is
easier to recall. It helps to quickly recall the subject using precise information and intelligent
hints collected in the notes. This significantly speeds up your ability to recall and remember.
