If you expect more from your notes, you need to spend more time on reviewing them than just taking down the notes. It is important to take time to consolidate your notes before exams as it can help in improving your focus on studies.
According to Tom Miller of WTF Professor, trying to be perfect and neat and making your notes fancy at the time of lecture is a total time waste. Instead of focusing on being neat and clear in your notes, he insists to be focused on noting down all the important points as much as possible, without missing out on anything, no matter how messy your notes are.
During weekend, spend time on these messy notes and sort out all of it by organizing everything. On grouping these notes together, you will be able to find out all the key points that are most important. This will be of great help personally. With this, you can sort down all of it in a single page.
Each and every time you reorganize your notes, remember that you are doing the same thing to your brain. By consolidating these notes physically, your brain keeps learning the concepts again and again which makes you remember it better.
At the time of examination, you again consolidate your weekly notes into an exam notes which will have the gist of all important information.
