Notes taking Strategy

by target_gmat2012 » Thu Jun 10, 2010 6:52 am
I have just started my GMAT prep ( just a month ago) and i took one gmatprep test and scored 600. I am aiming high around 750 score. I need inputs to undertand how should i take notes for all the sections.
I am sure these notes would help me in my revision at the end.

Which type of notes are you talking about? during the exam or in your studies?

There are some great note taking strategies in the debriefs from those of us that did very well on the GMAT in the "I just beat the GMAT!" section of the forum.

I would focus my notes on things that you know you will need to answer questions and things that won't be easy to derive. Additionally, make notes about specific errors that you make during practice problems and practice tests. Your goal should be to never make the same mistake twice. If you can adhere to that, you will do well.

Received a PM asking me to respond. I'm going to echo Becky's question: are you talking about the notes you take while studying, or the notes you take on your scrap paper while taking a test?
Please note: I do not use the Private Messaging system! I will not see any PMs that you send to me!!
