How the Cornell notes template printable turns notes into a study guide

During class, fill the wide notes column. Later, lift the important terms and questions into the narrow left column and close the page with a brief summary. Every page becomes a quiz you can give yourself, and review circles for 1 day, 1 week and 1 month nudge you to revisit it before it fades.

Choose from layouts built for lectures, readings, outlines, mind maps or side by side comparisons, whichever suits the subject in front of you. In the final fortnight before a test, the review sheet and exam checklist give you a clear plan. Because nothing is dated, you can print a new stack for each class and semester.
