How to take Cornell notes on iPad

The Cornell method splits the page into three: notes, cues and a summary. When you revise, you see at once what you don't know yet.

Step by step

1. Open a Cornell notebook

   Choose + New › Notebook and pick the Cornell paper.

2. Write in the right column in class

   While you listen, take your main notes in the wide right column.

3. Fill the left column after class

   Write a question or keyword for each part.

4. Add a summary at the bottom

   Write a two- or three-sentence summary at the bottom of the page.

5. Revise with tape

   Cover the right column with tape and test yourself with the questions on the left.

Tips

• Find your questions across every notebook with handwriting search.
• Make a separate folder for each course.
