When it comes to studying, many people have a hard time. It’s not that I can’t remember the knowledge points, or I just can’t figure out the key points. Hey, do you have similar problems?
As the founder of Taiwan’s largest note-taking community “I Love Note-taking”, people often ask me questions about Writing Notes. Especially how to successfully pass various highly competitive exams by taking notes?
If you have similar questions or troubles, then let me recommend to you a short and light book “Take notes with the test master: teach you the note-taking method to pass the exam” (The title of the traditional Chinese version is “[Your life can be turned around by memorizing it: Smart people can get twice the result with half the effort and high-efficiency magical note-taking techniques]” (h ttps://www.books.com.tw/exep/assp.php/vista/products/0010756624?utm_source=vista&utm_medium=ap-books&utm_content=recommend&utm_campaign=ap-202105)》). As the title of the book suggests, this book is aimed at passing exams and introduces learning methods and efficient memory tips to readers.
The author points out that as long as you master the exam-oriented learning method, no matter how difficult the challenge is, you can easily solve it.

From deviation value 35 to exam expert
[This book](https://www.books.com.tw/exep/assp.php/vista/products/0010756624?utm_source=vista&utm_medium=ap-books&ut m_content=recommend&utm_campaign=ap-202105) The author Kosuke Usui was born in Hokkaido, Japan in 1984 and graduated from the Law Department of Kwansei Gakuin University. He once served as the supervisory legal representative of a large company and worked in an accounting firm. Currently, he serves as a lecturer for judicial scriveners and qualification examinations, guiding those who are committed to obtaining judicial scriveners and certified public accountants.
At first glance, the author of this book seems to be from the winning team in life, but this is not the case. When he was a freshman in high school, he had a deviation score of 35 (lower than the passing score) in Japan’s national mock exam.
Taking this as a lesson, he worked hard and began to practice a learning method based on “memorizing”. From then on, his grades continued to improve and he was successfully admitted to college. While studying, I was admitted to the Judicial Scrivener’s School, which has an admission rate of only 3%. After graduation, I started from scratch and obtained the CPA qualification certificate in just 16 months, which is a remarkable achievement.
In the past, I have read many books about note-taking or study methods, but just talking about theory may not be effective. Only the author’s personal practical and effective methods can be convincing.
“[Take notes with the exam master: teach you the note-taking study method to pass the exam](https://www.books.com.tw/exep/assp.php/vista/products/0010756624?utm_source=vista&utm_medium=ap-books&utm_content= recommend&utm_campaign=ap-202105)” can be said to be the culmination of the memory methods personally practiced by the author of this book, Usui Kosuke. This book selects materials from a wide range of fields such as history, law, and English to teach you memory techniques that can be quickly learned, such as simplifying memory, creating memory chains, and using the three-point memory method. It uses detailed note-taking records to clearly demonstrate the operation process of learning the note-taking method.
Six ways to memorize efficiently
Do you think you are not good at memorizing? The author personally experimented and found that the following methods are very effective for memorization!
- Immediately discard “content that doesn’t matter and doesn’t need to be remembered”
- From today on, keep your notes “short and simple”
- Practice L-shaped eye movement method
- Use the “Explain it to yourself” brain organization method
- A4 notebook is the most powerful memorization tool
- Practice a memory check day once a week
Three steps for taking notes
For those who are not good at learning or think they have weak memory skills, you can quickly write down practical knowledge by following the three steps introduced in this book.
The first step: focus on the key points
The first step to produce results in the shortest time and with the least energy is to focus on the information that needs to be remembered! The author points out that the trick to focusing is to “write simply” - nothing more. Therefore, when writing notes, we should try to simplify the information and compress its capacity to an easy-to-remember level.
In this way, it will be easier for us to remember, and it will also save time and shorten more time to memorize other information.
The second step: Integrate relevant information
Usually, unforgettable memories are often the aggregation of several pieces of knowledge. For example, it’s like when you meet a best friend from your student days at a college reunion, in addition to his appearance and name, you may also think of his interests, his grades, and even the activities he participated in in the school before.
To put it simply, this is not simply memorizing a certain knowledge point, but extending it to other information through the knowledge point. Therefore, good memory is to connect the information to be remembered with related information. After integration, you can have a deeper memory!
The third step: Visualize the message and use image memory
We can make good use of notebooks to maximize the space for memory. In addition, visualize the information that needs to be integrated and memorized, and engrav it deeply in your mind.
The author said that as long as you follow the three steps of note-taking - focus on key points, integrate relevant information and use images to remember, no matter you are not good at learning or have poor memory, you can master knowledge skillfully and efficiently.
Study with others take notes and let a systematic memory method help you learn. Not only will your brain be full of energy, but you will also find that your future goals are actually not far away!
