(You can do This Today)

This is the minimum viable version of the Note Craft Method. Step 1: Read the heading and pause Don’t jump into the paragraph. Ask: “What do I think this will be about?” You activate prior knowledge → comprehension skyrockets. Step 2: Read one small section at a time Not the whole chapter. Not a page. Just one section. Your brain learns in micro-chunks.

Step 3: Create the questions This is where your notes start to mirror exams. For each new chapter, choose one or more examiner action verb from each of the 6 levels.

MODE 2: Active Retrieval (answering questions, summarising, teaching) Studies show that this is the best method for studying, with a 57 % success rate.
