What is the purpose of the student's notes?

• A. To gather information on atomic structure and animal behavior related to mimicry.
• B. To keep a daily diary of study sessions.
• C. To memorize dates of events.
• D. To collect weather data.

Answer: (B)

Notes serve to organize what you’re learning and to track your study process. When you keep a daily diary of study sessions, you create a personal log of what you covered, how long you studied, and which strategies you used. This makes it easier to review later, identify topics that still need work, and plan future sessions. Keeping a record also supports consistency and helps you apply spaced repetition, which improves retention for the PSAT. The other options describe recording specific content or data (like facts about particular topics or weather), rather than the overall purpose of your study notes.
