note taking

Hey all, I'm thinking about getting an iPad to take notes with for medical school. I recently tried the pencil, and it seems really easy to write and take notes with. Since the pencil is compatible with both the Pro (Gen 2 Pencil) and the Mini (Gen 1 Pencil), I'm wondering what others...

Hey all! So just wrapped up day 2 of orientation, the highlight was the OneNote vs Notability discussion, where two P2 students just gave you the advantages of each, and in all honesty the orientation leader speaking for OneNote didn't really do a good job, while the Notability speaker was...

I'm starting medical school this fall and in the past, I've learned/processed information the best when I wrote out my notes, pen to paper. I go to class, take notes on my computer or scribble some notes on scratch paper, and then go home and re-write the Powerpoints with my notes included in a...

I will be attending SCO starting this coming fall and I had a question for those of you who are already in optometry colleges or have graduated! For in-class note taking, what would you recommend; a laptop or an iPad? I currently have a MacBook Pro but would be open to getting an iPad. Also...

Last year I took Kaplan's course and they recommended reading and taking brief notes (names, dates, main topic) on each paragraph for the reading comprehension. My RC practice exams with them were usually around 16-17. On the real DAT I got a 22! I am not sure if I just got lucky with an easy...

I'd like to hear from anyone who has advice or thoughts on taking notes while reading P/S or B/B experiment passages. When I do the section bank, I am not doing timed conditions, so I make quick drawings of what is going on in the experiment and it greatly helps me get the answers right. I...

Hi all, I will be entering my first year of PT school in the fall and I would love to get some advice on efficient and effective note-taking methods. I am currently a paper/written note-taker but am thinking of switching to typed notes. I've heard that getting a tablet or iPad with OneNote and...

Will simple note taking work for the MCAT? One of the most difficult things about the MCAT is that it covers such a vast amount of material. For this reason, the MCAT is unlike any other test you have taken in your life. For most exams, the typical student is able to jot down some notes during...
