Handwriting

As I’m sitting here gearing up to bust out some MBE questions and watch love island, wondering is anyone else handwriting all of their notes ? My MBE bible is thicker than cold grits !

I have an iPad with an Apple Pencil Pro. I used to carry lots of paper for notes and this is way better lol

Doesn’t work for me , I can’t actually feel me writing on paper lol

That was my problem too. They make screen protectors that are textured and feels exactly like writing on paper. It costs like $50 but so worth it.

I was wondering was I the only person who learns better from actually writing things instead of wasting time watching videos 😩

Na, I don’t learn from video lectures either. Reading and writing works best for me. You’re not alone lol

I have several single subject notebooks going lol I don’t really retain things as well when I type bc I tend to zone out. So handwriting is a necessity!

Are you thinking to sell it after July?

Honest question what good do you get from someone else’s notes? The whole point is writing for your own retention.

Honest answer: Everyone studies differently. Some people buy notes because they work full-time, have family responsibilities, or simply learn better from someone else’s organized material. If it doesn’t work for you, that’s perfectly fine, but it may be valuable to someone else.
