So should i make notes while preparing for certification exams or not?
i find it easy to remember most of the things i've read from the books.

There are many reasons to make notes: Open book exams, an index makes it easier to look things up Writing notes helps you remember, even if you don't use them. Write notes in your own words (don't quote the book verbatim), this makes you reflect on the text more. Write notes by hand, makes your brain work with the text even more (typing it doesn't have the same effect). When you are going to use the skill the cert says you have, your notes can be valuable to remind you of the tiny tidbits that fall through the cracks in your memories. This isn't what you have to do, this is what some people choose to do to help themselves, and why. People are individuals, there isn't a one size fits all study technique. Find the technique(s) that work well with your brain. Prove to yourself that they work by succeeding at your studies. If you're failing, revisit your technique. I'm similar, but over time I see that details fall through the cracks. Writing notes just for the sake of writing them (not picking them up and reading later) is beneficial. Doesn't make my memory perfect, but I can read actual notes to remind me of the tiniest tidbits.
