- To revise: cover the notes and answer the cue questions.
Print quality: the lines are true vector lines in the PDF, so they stay sharp on any printer at any zoom, and the file is tiny. Print at 100% (“Actual size”) so measurements stay exact to the millimetre. The file is created on your device.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the Cornell method work?
It makes you rephrase the lesson as questions and a summary, which strengthens recall.
Where is the cue column?
On the left in English and on the right in Arabic, since it comes first in reading order.
Can I use A5 or US Letter?
Yes — A4, A5, A3, Letter and Legal, portrait or landscape, with as many pages as you need.
