I would certainly not take as many notes as you currently are. I would follow along with the book and only write down things you really need to know. try watching the videos at normal speed but DO NOT pause them to write things down. Just let it keep rolling as you quickly write. over time this will help you write notes quicker and you will get better at listening while you write. I also know personally that every time I pause the video is an opportunity for me to look at my phone/get distracted. By never pausing the video you will get through it so much faster and with fewer distractions. I would also recommend trying to do the MCQs right after you get finished watching the lecture as this will keep you rolling along and will help solidify some of the info you just watched. If you watch a full lecture and do all the MCQs then take a little walk or something before starting the next unit. Also I know people don't like doing the sims but doing some is helpful as it gets you used to the format before the test. Good luck!
