My study habits totally changed after I started using a whiteboard instead of notebooks for 3 weeks

I switched from paper notes to a big whiteboard in my dorm room and after 21 days my exam scores went up by 12 points because I could see the whole topic at once and fix gaps fast. Has anyone else tried swapping their notebook for a wall board?

Wait, you actually saw real score jumps from that? I was skeptical but now I'm curious.

johnson.lee you said you're "skeptical but now curious" and honestly I was the same way. I thought whiteboards were just for planning stuff not actual studying. But after trying it for a week I noticed I could map out a whole chapter on one board and see where I was getting lost. The big thing is you can't hide from mistakes like you do in a notebook by just turning the page. When it's right in front of you all day you actually have to fix the gaps. I went from a C to a B+ on my last test just by switching my notes to a board. It sounds dumb but the visual thing really works for me now.
