Taking Notes out of a Study Guide if self-studying

<p>Okay, so I am planning on self-studying AP US Government and Psychology without a textbook and prior knowledge. Should I take notes on paper or just read it through? Personally, notes are kind of tedious but I do retain more, in my opinion, but it's way too time consuming with 4 other APs I am taking in my school. I am a Junior by the way.</p>

<p>just read it through.</p>
