Getting a 99+ ATAR: Tips from a 99.80 Student

Suggestions on handwriting v. typing notes? I handwrote my notes for ages, but then figured out that everyone else typed them, so I freaked out and then started typing them all from scratch. I'm nearly finished all my subjects, but it takes a long time! Bad idea? Should I go back to handwriting??

Keep your handwritten notes; I'm sorry but going back to typing is a bad move. It's taking a step backwards and consuming valuable time you could spend on doing past papers and etc.
There is virtually no difference between handwritten and typed. This is a matter of preference. Most are typed simply because they look neater (and potentially quicker if you're much faster at typing than writing), but one can easily argue that handwriting forces your hand and actually activates your memory.

Ditto with Rui, I personally typed because I preferred the neatness and portability (on my iPad). It was faster too! But stick with what you have, handwriting your notes has been proven to be more beneficial in terms of remembering what you've written anyway! ;D
If you have got typed notes now, of course, use both!! But don't spend time on that instead of other, more useful avenues of study :D

Hi! My top tips for studying effectively and maintaining time management is to write a to-do list, work from it and cross things off as you go. Make sure you allocate times of the day for the items on your to-do list. Make sure you are completing your work and studying in an environment that you work best in. I study best alone in my room. Make sure to take breaks, and set aside time in the week for extra curricular activities, and spending time with family and friends.
