[QUOTE="JP13, post: 168063, member: 33670"] To be honest, I didnt really take notes - I have a google document with everything about my applications (not very organised) and I would just list out anything I could think of is a issue that chould arise then underneath list the headline and main point i've read (did this as 'revision'). I've been reading many different news sites (FT, WSJ, CNBC, ProPublica, The Guardian, Reuters, BBC) almost daily for 2 years and I just remember anything significant, and sometimes imporant old(ish) stories come to be as im about to fall asleep so I always have my phone beside me to write in my notes app and look at in the morning (thats where my best ideas come from). News that I think could be key to follow are big stories that affect more than one thing - I was looking at China stories with all the geopolitical tension, possibility of deflation, regulation crackdown, law firm businesses in there etc etc you could then link this with Japan by speaking about Asia and speak about what the government are doing with interest rates -> the impact, what you believe will happen, why there doing this and what will happen to corporate / investment sector in Japan and the implications of M&A etc etc. It takes a while to search through all the different news sites to link all the stores together but I find that enjoyable.
