Taking clear notes is a strength for me. Whenever I have an upcoming test I take the time to write all my notes out as it helps me retain the material that will be in the test. I add visuals and sometimes color code the sections. I did this last year for math as well. This method works really well for me because I take these notes on my iPad, so its portable and I can study any time I need. That’s crucial for me because I am always travelling for lacrosse but I need to find a way to balance both school and sports. I also try to organize my notes to keep everything easy to find when I need to study quickly. Sometimes I share these with my classmates and we study together and that helps to deepen my understanding. Overall, these habits help me stay on top of my schoolwork while still enjoying my sport and other activities.
