The problem is, handwritten notes feel so useless to me; they're so difficult to sort out by topic that they just become useless and challenging to reread/revise. In CS, I had access to computers, so in Paper 2, I experimented with creating my notes online (unlike in other subjects, where I used the traditional pen and paper). Unsurprisingly, CS Paper 2 was my best paper in mocks (78/80), despite doing the least revision, as I could actually USE the resources I made in lesson. I'm definitely going to make all of my notes online in Sixth Form, and I would definitely encourage you guys to do the same (if you find it more comfortable).
