GATE 2015: Learn how to make notes?

This article is intended to bring more clarity to let you all know about how you should go about preparing notes and what things need to be kept in mind as I have often referred to notes being most important part in one's preparation and this post will be tackling that issue specifically.
GATE is an application oriented exam where bare minimum concepts are required but you need to be well prepared to apply those concepts in every way possible and thus the short can really be very short and while preparing notes you must keep the GATE curriculum open so that you do not miss out anything and you do not add anything unnecessary. The following points should be taken care while preparing notes.

• The notes should be prepared in form of bullets and not entire paragraphs as bullets are easy to remember and revise and paragraph type notes are a big turn-off.
• Always highlight the point which you have made a mistake more than once because that will keep you reminding that you should take care like in my case I used to get confused between idempotent and involuntary matrices so the criterion, I always kept highlighted.
• The font of handwritten notes should be very small and try to put as much data as possible in a single line as possible as then the number of pages covered will be very less and will imbibe a sense of confidence in you whenever you think of revising them as you will be confident that you only have to revise a less number of pages.
• Sometimes, it is also good to keep a track of some numericals which you felt were very good and helpful by noting down the page number and question number so that you can refer them once before the exam.
• The notes are specific to the person that creates them as you may want to write something which seems very trivial to some other person, but you should write it down because the notes are meant for you only and not for anyone else.
