#1 Learn how to take detailed notes
Shorthand is popular. Many students create their own mini-language that allows them to quickly jot down what the teacher is saying without missing that obscure date or confusing formula on exam day.
#2 Go back and fill in the blanks
Go over your notes when a class is still fresh in your mind; you can add details that you may have missed earlier on, and organize your notes into an easy-to-read study guide. Skim over your notes and highlight important information that you can study in-depth later.
