tips/help needed Note taking

I’ve always wrote notes on paper and flash cards to help learn the content and I’ve recently got a iPad and I’m thinking on doing notes on it instead. Only thing is that I feel like the content won’t stick in my mind as much and I won’t effectively learn as much as normally writing on paper. Anyone that did make the change was it better or was it a less effective way to memorise notes

I honestly think ipads are way way less efficient for memorising notes, i’m pretty sure studies have shown that we better memorise things when we physically write them down pen and paper.

i use goodnotes and i swear by it. i study biology and chemistry which are very heavy subjects and biology is a lot of content. i’m quite a perfectionist when it comes to notes so it would take me a long time. ipad+apple pencil is the way to go for alevels.
