best way to make notes

I think that typing up the written notes and hand-drawing diagrams and graphs would be your best bet. If you have enough time then handwriting may be better, but if time is getting short then typing up the majority of the notes would be the best solution in my opinion

For typing notes and adding diagrams/ tables, I find microsoft one note to be great, and you can also save notes by topic so your notes stay super organised. You could also always handwrite condensed versions of your notes or flashcards to help you learn the essentials if you have the time

hmmmm. ok. the thing is i don't really have access to a printer (it's broke months ago and I've been printing at school since) so can i just do a separate section for graphs/diagrams OR can i just copy and paste from images?

I never print my notes personally, I keep them in Google Docs so I can access them anywhere on my phone/tablet. Sometimes I can get images etc off the internet and paste them into my notes, alternatively I can scan any images/graphs that I can't find online into my computer and add them in that way

yh i can see why you would do that, but i'd like to have a physical copy in my binder too. thanks so much for the advice tho!

sure this has been asked like 247438 times BUT
long story short, my chem A level notes are a MESS literally. hess's law is mixed up with atomic structure and my binder is just a war zone.

i want to start a fresh and make nice neat clean concise notes. my question is should i type these up or hand write them? typing is obviously faster and easier, but what about diagrams and graphs? and is it true that if they're handwritten the content actually sticks in your mind?

Shameless blog plug but this is how I make mine if it'll help

is there a MacOS alternative?

i saw them and that's legit how i would take notes but then i would end up losing all of them or getting them mixed up and it was just a pain in the A$$
