How do you write notes for ancient history? (1 Viewer)

[Mattlimey]

I have my exams soon and I don't know how to write notes for Ancient History instead of writing everything down
Any ideas?

Make sure you have a copy of the syllabus for each topic. Write down any information relevant to the syllabus and remember to incorporate numerous ancient and modern sources

For Modern, I made a table with one column for the syllabus dot point, the next column for important information/dates/ideas and another column for historiography/sources.

I think notes are meant for helping you remember information, not an information dump where you copy/paste a whole textbook into table format. You should already have knowledge of the topic/s from readings, watching videos, answering questions etc. Write anything down which will trigger your memory and knowledge of the topic. If you don't actually know the topic, then that's another issue.

Essay plans for any possible questions that can be thrown at you.
It really just makes everything a lot easier instead of trying to figure out how to categorise info during an exam.
