Notes??Basically, at GCSE I took History, a pretty academic subject right? I found myself writing huge amounts of information on the 3rd Reich (5-6 A4 pages every hour lesson. As you can imagine, it added up to quite a lot. I am not saying I have a problem with writing loads and am not saying at all it wasn't useful, on the contrary in fact it helped me immensely. However, despite me not being bothered by writing huge amounts of information I was wondering of there is like an ultimate way of writing notes that are fantastic to revise from ( with out going in to too much detail on how the brain learns, had enough of that in biology)

For me I used to take initial notes and condensing these into revision cards and then producing flash cards with key terms to trigger my memory. The idea being that you can shrink down large chunks of information into single sentences.
I also had a tendency to produce mind maps on a subject to organise my thinking which was pretty useful.
One thing some of my colleagues believed in was to record themselves reading their notes onto tape/mp3 and then play them back whilst out and about to absorb the information.
There are lots of other ways to organise your knowledge but just though a couple of ideas may be useful
