Reading someone elses notes may not help you at all and might even confuse you further, my notes consisted of practically copying the book with the important points highlighted, it helped me remember and I passed all the exams first time.
My way of learning..
1. Read the book from cover to cover.
2. Read the book again and write down important points.
3. Read through your notes.
4. Practice with the confuser.
5. Pass the exam.
