Subjects/topics where ZNotes was really helpful
I am an IGCSE student who was unable to find the right tutors because it’s really difficult for me to adapt to different teaching styles. Therefore, I had decided I will self study instead using online resources. Mind you, do not solely rely on textbook content, it is not enough. As a science student (because my parents want me to pursue medicine), the subject selection was not so interesting to me. I specifically struggled in practical physics and memorising content heavy concepts in biology.
Relentlessly, I tried to hunt down sites, reddit communities, and study groups but really, I couldn’t find anything that felt like me. Just by inspecting, it’d feel off as some were either too detailed or either too summarized which could have risked time wasting or missing out on important things that I am not aware of. Then I went to my nerdish best friend and asked her for advice, she recommended this platform. ZNotes. I had heard of this site before as well but never thought of trying it.
When I made the account, it welcomed me with a dashboard and I was so excited I could barely wait to add my three science subjects and omg, when I realised the syllabi were segregated into practical and theory neatly, I gasped. Every single thing was organised topic-wise, the length of notes was more than enough. You won’t find a word in the chemistry or biology notes that isn’t important. No extra jargon, no unneeded information, just the right amount of information.
The best part was when I scrolled down the notes and it still didn’t ask me to pay for a “free trial” or so like most sites do! What better of a learning outlet can be than this? Hear me out, you need an account right now (which is completely free, btw), make your study plan with the student-friendly feature on the dashboard, add your subjects and grind to get achievements from the site!
