Does writing notes actually help?
For spesh i don't bother, chem I kind of do, english and lit a bit but I find doing what the task demands of you : exam/essay is better for me.... if i don't do well then I just consolidate by looking back at my notes.
For rote learning type subjects it would but for something like methods, theres really no need at all

It is good if you dont always pay attention in class and need a solid basis in theory though

To be honest I don't know.

For English I find it nice to have all my arguments and evidence summarized. Making notes helped me raise my expositories from an A to an A+ when I was doing practice ones for the SAC. IMO making notes for English takes care of ideas.

For Spesh though, it doesn't really help that much. I wasted heaps of time last year making really thorough notes for Methods, but this year for Spesh I haven't spent nearly as much time. If I had to compare, I've probably used less than 20% of the time I used for Methods notes on Spesh notes. Yet my SAC results are better. I didn't touch Spesh at all for 3 weeks before the last SAC and still did quite well.

As for Physics and Chem...it's my way of teaching myself the concepts. Our school hasn't finished the Physics course so I had to take it upon myself to make notes for the remaining unfinished portion.

Same for Uni Maths. I don't really listen to the teacher most of the time so I have to teach myself.

Yeah,  i always dont pick it up exactly right in class. I like learning my way and the way i think about things, not the teachers thought processes. I wrote heaps of notes for bio mid year and did comparatively few practice exams and still managed an A

Lets see, i've done:
1 physics exam
1 chem exam
1 methods exam 1 + exam 2
1 spesh exam 2.

heaps of questions out of the TSFX notes for spesh and physics
heaps of questions out the the spesh checkpoints
i've read and highlighted the most important parts out of my summarised chem notes
and i've found a lot of different prompts for the text response, and am in the process of writing dot points for each one.

3 methods exams
2 chem exams
1 physics exam

I'm thinking of doing notes for physics, cause I seriously don't know anything on AOS1 (realised from the 1 prac exam I did), don't know how I managed to pass the SAC for it :S.

English, I plan to start soon...might take kyzoo's idea and make notes, followed by timed essay writing.

lol, btw i heard ur last spesh sac was insane?

I agree that notes with Chem help to refresh the memory and the course.
