7 Note-Taking Tips to Make Studying a Breeze | Grammarly

” The act of writing information down helps you remember and recall it later. The combination of motor skills, touch sensation, visual cues, and extra time all facilitate memory formation more than just by listening or reading alone.” 

“A lot of people save their notes until study time, but it helps to review them once or twice shortly after they’re written. For one thing, this greatly improves memory retention and imprinting the information. Other benefits are to see if you missed anything, or to clarify a typo or word written sloppily. If you catch these mistakes too late, you may not remember what you were trying to say.”
