Cornell notes booklet to print, fold and staple, one subject per booklet

This Cornell notes booklet becomes a slim, single subject notebook once you print, fold and staple it. The main booklet has 20 pages, among them a lesson index, 12 Cornell pages, vocabulary, a review log and a summary, and an 8 page mini refill comes with it. The 17 page PDF arrives with the pages pre-ordered for saddle stitching on landscape sheets: print both sides, fold the pile in half, staple, done.

The US Letter file makes half letter pages (5.5 x 8.5 in) and the A4 file makes A5 pages (148 x 210 mm). It is an instant download, and nothing is shipped.

Why a Cornell notes booklet makes studying easier

Each booklet page takes up exactly half a sheet, so there is no cutting at all. The first page already sits beside the last one, the second beside the second to last, and once you fold the stack every page lands in the right order.

All note pages use the familiar Cornell structure, with a narrow column on the side for cues and questions, a generous writing area and a strip at the bottom for your summary, where three circles remind you to review a day, a week and a month later. Review simply happens on the page. Keeping one class per booklet means the index, vocabulary, review log and summary all stay together, so test prep is straightforward. Filled all 12 note pages? Print the refill and tuck it in.

Who these notes booklets are for

• High school and college students who want a slim notebook per class rather than loose paper
• Cornell method fans who like the cue column, summary and review on every single page
• Adults in evening classes, online courses or certification programs taking lecture or reading notes
• Homeschoolers who keep a separate booklet for every subject or unit

Design, size and printing

• Minimal, elegant look: white pages with soft blush pink details that save ink
• Wide margins all around, so home printers do not clip anything
• The US Letter file prints half letter pages (5.5 x 8.5 in), two per side of a landscape 11 x 8.5 in sheet, and the A4 file prints A5 pages (148 x 210 mm), two per side of a landscape A4 sheet. The pages are pre-sorted for saddle stitching, with no trimming needed
• Undated, so any lesson in any term can be the first
• Pink fold marks on each sheet, a page number on each booklet page and staple marks on the middle spread
• Simple black and pink styling that also copies well in grayscale
• Print each booklet as one double-sided job flipped on the short edge, keep the sheets in order, fold on the pink marks and add two staples along the fold

• Colors on paper may look slightly different from your screen.
• Licensed for personal use. Sharing, reselling or redistributing the files is not allowed.
• Digital files cannot be returned. If a file does not open or print correctly, email us and we will help right away.
• Every printer lines up the back of a page a little differently, so run one test sheet on plain paper before printing a full booklet.
