Usually, I only take notes on key points and definitions.
When studying for a test, I give myself two notecards, and I reread everything throughout the section. The notecards are small enough that they force you to only take notes on the most important sections, and often times, those are the things that come in tests :)
True or false. Depends on what type of paper you're writing.

The subjunctive mood is the best.
The subjunctive is rarely used in colloquial English. Totally irrelevant information, but... it is a relic from Latin, where there are many uses for a subjunctive. There is even a special conditional using the subjunctive mood that expresses the exact circumstances you described, which is usually called future less vivid.
