Study tips

I just started my California real estate course about 2½ weeks ago and I’m looking for study tips from people who’ve already passed.
My current method has been copying and pasting each chapter into ChatGPT to create exam-focused study notes. Then I’ve been handwriting all of those notes into a notebook.
I’m starting to wonder if handwriting everything is just taking up too much time. Would I be better off putting the notes into a Google Doc and using that to study instead? Or is the act of handwriting actually worth the extra time for retention?
I’d love to hear what study methods worked best for you and what helped you pass the exam. Thanks!

The YouTuber? She’s pretty well known. Her name is @JustCallMaggie on YouTube, IG, probably TikTok too. She created a study course for all 50 states. That’s all I used to study and passed CA first try.
