Do you underline as you read the text and when you reach end of the page jot down points in a separate notebook ? Or,

Do you underline as you read the text and read through whole section and then jot down points in a separate notebook ?

What is your preferred way and what would you suggest ?

i just read and hope i will remember it.

You become friends with smart girls. Thats it.

I don't like to underline the textbook, instead of that what I do is preparing my own notes based on syllabus and previous year question papers with the help of textbooks and bareacts along with caselaws, moreover you should not wholly depend on Old QPs you should also cover the syllabus part also for better conceptual understanding. In case if you don't understand the concepts refer some online blogs and YouTube videos

underline and annotate in margins. On second read of the article/book- I write down main points in each section and subsection.

PYQs first. Focus more on the concept & cases mentioned in the PYQs, more than on the questions. Make notes. Review and revise every 3 days.

Then focus on topics taught in class, or marked as important by professor.

If time remains, cover the rest of the syllabus.
