About This Video

In this video I walk you through exactly how I organise my revision notes, using my A-Level Physics notes as the example. Because it’s exam season, a lot of people default to making “pretty” notes without thinking about how they’ll actually use them later—so I show the structure I personally prefer, how I keep things findable, and the little habits that stop my notes turning into an unsearchable pile. The big theme is that revision notes should be functional: easy to scan, easy to update, and designed to get you answering questions, not just rewriting the textbook. I also share a few tips and tricks that have helped me keep my notes consistent across topics—things like keeping a clear hierarchy (topic → subtopic → key ideas), separating core definitions from worked examples, and making sure each page has a purpose (e.g., “this is for equations”, “this is for common mistakes”, “this is for exam-style prompts”). And I’m very clear about the disclaimer: this is what works best for me. If your brain prefers a different system, take the principles (clarity, consistency, retrieval) and adapt them so your notes actually help you revise under pressure.
