This worked for medical school also for me. Except we had a note taking service so I didn’t have to take any notes myself. And I don’t like take notes on notes. So I just highlighted 5-10% of the notes that weren’t obvious the first time around in yellow, then about a page or two I didn’t remember from them in red the second time around. but this technique would not work for 95% of the population.

You can step forward to any side of the boat.
