    The notes you talk about could be notes they are preparing in advance of the exams in August or the slides for the lectures they are attending.

    By now you should have gone through 2 interim assessments and you should have had notes for them, just prepare notes that would help you during the exam in August keeping in mind that the shorter and more concise they are the better as you are not going to have a lot of time to check them. At the end of the day you need to know the stuff before you go to the exam and the notes are suppose to help you confirm the small details such as Sections in Tax, IFRSs and ISAs, conditions for them, templates for calculations to make sure you are doing calculations properly, how to lay out the answer, etc.

    It's very personal the type of notes you use, give it a try with the kind of notes you use to study and try practicing exams and cases with them and how helpful they are. You will see people going to the exam with suitcases full of books, big folders, etc. It's very personal do what it works for you, don't try to copy others just for the sake of it

    I hope this helps
