review notes

Reread your annotations

Review notes are written summaries or annotations made while studying material, typically to aid memory and comprehension.

They distill key points from lectures, textbooks, or readings: I spent the evening going over my review notes before the exam.

The term also refers to notes consulted when evaluating something: The editor pulled up her review notes on the manuscript.
