Should i take notes for A level math?

Im not sure weather i should take notes, i normally watch a video on the topic and copy down the notes so it can stick in my head... but i have never once actually gone back to my notes to read them etc. I think taking notes is wasting a lott of time which i need because im finishing math in 1 year, so i need to get through content fast.

But idk how im going to make things stick if i dont take notes. what should i do

You haven't gone back to them 'yet' - you may do in a few months time. Writig notes helps you remember ...

It's not that unusual to study A level Maths in one year.

ye but im doing it as a private candidate so like with no teacher it takes longer for me to learn if u get me. have to do a lot of hours a day

Which board?

edexcel

These notes are good: https://www.drfrostmaths.com/courses.php?coid=29

Which websites are you using?

Im just watching people on youtube like bicen math and TL math, then using madasmath / the textbook for questions

Don't use Madas as it's not been updated since the author died. Use Dr Frost instead.

MathsMadeEasy is also worth a look: https://mmerevise.co.uk/a-level-maths-revision/
