Our tips for success

At college, high school or university, you can find yourself drowning under an enormous amount of information to remember... The STABILO tip: use colors to help you memorize information. Yes, colors help you stay motivated! What's more, they'll help you structure your note-taking throughout the year, so you can focus on the essentials. As exams approach, you'll already have a head start.

And during revision, there's nothing like the famous index cards. The principle? Condense and synthesize the important information from your lessons into smaller, more concise forms. When entire pages of lessons fit onto a single card, revision seems easier to cope with. What's more, you can take them with you wherever you go, whenever you want!

Finally, for even greater efficiency, don't hesitate to embellish your lessons or worksheets with arrows, diagrams, graphs, boxes, underlining... All these elements will help you get straight to the point.

Getting organized...

Your workspace

Before you start, make sure you have enough space to work, and remove any distracting objects from your desk. Then gather all the materials you need: index cards, binders, folders and, of course, your STABILO point 88 and STABILO pointMax felt-tip pens.

Your notes and revision sheets

Outlines, revision sheets, diagrams, mind-mapping... Whatever technique you use, make sure your notes are clear, neat and structured. Concentrate on the most important parts of the course, and use a variety of pens and colors to highlight key information. To put information in the right order, don't hesitate to use headings and sub-headings, circles, underlining and diagrams...

... and using colors...

Add color to make your cards colorful and easier to remember!

By using colors, you'll tap into your visual memory. Did you know? Studies have shown that colors like orange, red or yellow attract more attention than colors like gray or brown. This means that information written in these colors is more likely to be memorized.

So it's up to you: create your own color scheme to highlight key words and important information. Play with colors and pictograms. Underline, highlight, circle... And add a few sketches or diagrams, because a picture is worth a thousand words!

... for better memorization!

Revising is much more effective with cards that appeal to you and motivate you to learn! Associate important information with specific colors to improve your ability to remember the information in question when the time comes. With well-structured, color-coded notes, you'll find it easier to revise.

The simple fact of writing and using your own words is also essential for better memorization. Use familiar words and mnemonics, and remember that your notes don't have to be perfect - they just have to fit!

Finally, take the time to reread your cards several times to ensure that you fully assimilate their content. After several re-readings, you'll be able to remember the essential information.

The right tools

The fine point of the STABILO point 88 felt-tip pen is perfect for taking notes in class, making index cards and summarizing your lessons. What's more, it comes in 65 colors! It's the perfect way to liven up your flashcards and memorize important information quickly and easily. The little plus: thanks to its metal-coated tip, it's perfect for use with a ruler for underlining and outlining.

As for STABILO pointMax, with its robust medium point and 42 intense colors, it's ideal for circling, outlining and highlighting the essentials, as well as for quick note-taking and headings.
