Genuinely excellent advice! I started reading lecture slides and making notes *before* the lecture was scheduled when I was in my first year and it is so effective. The only issue is that I'm still so unsure of whether digital or physical notes are right for me. Majoring in a life science means a lot of diagrams but I find that I never go back to my physical notes later in semester since it's a hassle to switch between book and laptop :(( on the other hand note taking software can be pretty battery intensive so it can be risky to use when my laptop battery is low. Either way I love this video and my favourite tip is writing down page numbers into your notes!! so useful for going back when studying for exams :)

Thank you 🤗

[@danielbrown6558]

Thanks Imogen! I’m studying Spanish alongside my degree at the LSE, do you have any advice? :))

[@ImogenWhite]

Hi Daniel, Ah nice, I think the one thing I’d say is make sure you’re not doing all your work on your laptop because you won’t have spell/ grammar check in the exam at the end of the year. Just doing some work on paper first throughout the year really helps you incrementally prepare for the summer exam. Also it sounds obvious but just make sure you do all your formatives because that’s the most useful feedback you’ll get. Even if your effort is a bit half hearted (in a busy week) it’s better to submit something than nothing!
