Tips for focusing on very boring study notes? - eviltoast

I’m studying for a test and the only resources I have are the presentations and somebody’s notes in text form. It’s a knowledge-retrieval test (no counting/reasoning), and unfortunately I don’t know what the questions look like so it seems I really will have to go through everything covered.

Now of course some inanimate notes and a PPT file are the most un-captivating learning format that a person with ADHD could face. One thing I’m good at is going down rabbitholes, so I thought about just googling questions I have about the things written on each page. But the notes go on for 60 pages and it would take a really really long time. I’m lost for ideas. Has anybody found any learning techniques that help when focusing on things as bland as this?

    Rewrite it all in your own words. You’ll never need to look at the notes again but it will force you to get to grips with the material instead of glazing over.
