a bit unrelated to the subject, but i think the pace of the video is perfect, not too fast so i understand, but also not to slow so i don't have the time to be unfocused. thanks for the tips!
Salim I did most of this strategy studying for the OAT in the last two weeks and I got a 380 TS / 360 AA thanks to you, when I was scoring 290-310s on the practices just two weeks ago. I radically changed my study habits and it worked wonders, and I thank you so much. I can get into pretty much any Optometry school in the US with this score! :)
It’s always nice to hear when someone takes the effort to make actionable changes! Glad to hear it went well, thank you for having the trust in this process, and good luck with your future work 🙌🏽
combining active recall and mind maps with the method of loci is an additional, powerful review tool. One can also just store their weakest 10% of topics in visual memory as a failsafe for big exams. Organization is key:)
Keep practicing. One thing I do is imagine a fridge in a Japanse style dojo with trees and other plants and the fridge turns into a slot machine. The numbers shift and I assign a memory to that number. To store it abd retrieve it. Ghats my cue I also stare into space as a visual cue. One the numbers have been selected I open the fridge and visualise the object in a scenario short movie or long movie or visual image of text. I use sound proprioception and humor and emotion to make it memorable. Then when I'm done I close the fridge slot machine goes back to 0. When I want to retrieve it I choose the numbers.
Hey, thanks SO much for this. I have a few questions for you if you dont mind! --> I really wanna get into med school, I'm in grade 12 atm. What would you suggest doing now to manage the stress and the studies of the future? --> What would you encourage me to prepare beforehand, in terms of studying ( reading certain textbooks, material I should familiarize myself with, etc) --> what does a typical day look like for you?
this is pretty good, my midterms exam is coming up and I am not feeling well these days, I hope to use this method so that I can study for 3 days next week and still ace the exam, thank you so much!
Hey Salim! Great content, thank you for doing this!!!! Question: What Anki deck flashcards were you using at @1:39 I know it has to be zero to finals, but I would like that deck, looks like it's problem/case based!
Yep it’s a Zero to Finals one, tbh a friend sent it to me, but it should be available online on ZtF website? Just has to be converted to anki yourself I believe
I am a 1st year med student and after watching some youtube videos about med school, some med students suggest not to take any notes or make flashcards at all. Rather, they advise that I ask my seniors to share them and focus much more on doing questions. Could you share me any tips on whether that's right?
Your English is so fluent please guide me I'm not fluent as well as Underconfident about it so whenever someone communicate with me in English I forget what to reply do to nervousness and my grammar is also very poor please help me brother.
Hi, I'm in physiotherapy, and I was wondering if it's better to use an iPad for notes or papers (1 sheet, 4 slides)... I also wanted to know if you got an agenda? Maybe share it with us, thank you!
What would you suggest to a person who is perfectionist like can't move to other topic until last one is done to very much detail. It's waste of time but can't help doing the same. Like has so much to do(100s of pages) but stuck on page one. Because of the fear that what if questions are asked from the very detail. And questions are actually asked from very detail.
Before I answer, I have a question to ask you - if you call yourself a perfectionist, could you list me 5 things you've done to absolute perfection (things that are actually important) This isn't an attack, it's a genuine question The idea of perfectionism is more of a psychological issue as opposed to an issue that can be solved with a few tips
@@Salim_Ahmed problem is that i start a thing and do the initial few concepts with perfection in my opinion like primming,making questions, previous year questios,find every type of questions related to topic pretty much everything. Then at the time of main topic i leave it because it takes too much time then i start another chapter and cycle goes on and i get done nothing. The problem is the conceptual questions asked like very detailed questions. Like you have to read 100 pages and you cleared your concepts but teacher asked you question from a random paragraph. On top of that sometimes you know the answer but you couldn't understand what was asked.
@@Salim_Ahmed and the thing is i have always been a A+ student with terrifying study techniques and i managed to get those because of my lecture retaining power(whatever i hear in lectures i understand for very long period of time like i remember what i studied 2 years ago but I can't remember what my teacher taught me a month ago because i didn't spend hours on that and syllabus is too much compared to it was 2 years ago) that helped me but now i feel stupid because i am trying to learn the same way and i pretty much grasp concepts but during exams it doesn't matter what you understood it's all about if you could learn and write facts.
@@Salim_Ahmed i don't think so i have done anything at perfection but i tried and got disappointment only🥲🥲 that is why i never feel satisfied with my efforts and results.
Hello I have my mid exams in 15 days and i have not studied anything yet i don't know what to do.........I am a BS student of Computer Science.........My SGPA in 1st semester was 3.6 out of 4 and SGPA in 2nd semester was 3.06😢 and total GPA of 2 semesters is 3.34...........Now i want atleast 3.8 GPA in this semester what should i do................Please help me.
Greetings and thank you for sharing this valuable information with us... Can I ask you any advice or if there is a video on starting working on bachelor thesis paper or how to do it in an efficient manner? I watched and read some materials (mine is not related to science, but to history, culture, civilisation), but it doesn t seem to really get things rolling...take care and have a good one.🤝✌️🍀♥️
My medical license exam is just 3 months away, I'm confused should I focus on revising the whole syllabus or I should focus more on solving questions ??
Are you doing all these steps the same day or you dispatch them through differents days ? Btw thanks for the video, as a french medical student you hrlp a lot with your videos !
Salim, I love your videos. I was wondering how it is that you relate subtopics together without having some general knowledge about them first? I guess this leads into another question; Do you make these matrixes all at once or do you make them as each topic comes up in your classes?
Yep building some baseline knowledge is useful for sure, which is part of my other video on how to think faster As for making the matrices, I tend to make them towards exam season. So I already have some baseline knowledge to work with and know which topic belongs where. But if I know nothing about a few topics, then I’d make it just for those few. I think the main thing is don’t overboard with a massive list of topics at the start, just pick a few and put them into a matrix
Thank you, i needed this really bad. I don't know if you mentioned this, but if you have a shorter attention span (eg. instead of focusing for 5+ hours a day, you can only focus for 3 hours) what do you recommend to do without leaving me burnt out and forgetting everything - also, how to avoid over studying?thank you!
@@Salim_Ahmed Also wanted some advice, if you could make a video too if you think it might help others. How do you get back to studying when you've lost the momentum because of a break (2-3 week break) because of health issues?
Your guidance has helped me stay organized and motivated, absolutely love your content, especially the aesthetics. ✨ Are you going to share your associations notes one day? 👀
Is it possible to have the best grades while also having good sleep hygiene and a social life, everything being at its peak school, socials, and sleep?
Yes, definitely, most of the top students I know have this balance. It's the balance that helps - studying all day every day isn't sustainable, and most top students won't be doing that because it'll just lead to burn out (and the grades will suffer as a consequence)
I have exam on 17 oct and i am so scared because i cramed so hard and i know my self once i cramm there's no passing 😢 can someone really have this short amount of time make it😢
Brother , God and Saviour Jesus Christ Loves You. And I want to Preach to You About Our eternity when we will leave this Life. We will Go either to Heaven or To Hell . See Brother we have all sinned and live in sin if we examine our life. And a Person really has fear of Death when our Death is near. And Bible Says all Sinners will Go to Hell . So How to Get out of Hell ? The Answer is That We have all Sinned and Condemned to Hell and we need The Saviour who can save us from Hell. The Loving God of Universe Became Man and was Born to Virgin Mary and His Name is Jesus. Jesus lived a Perfect Life that we couldn't live . Many people Know Jesus Died on The Cross to save us but they do know what it means. The wages of Sin is Death . And What Jesus Did was that You and I broke the Law and Jesus Paid the Fine on the CROSS . Means He Took our Death and On Third day Rose from The Death and Says to Everyone and Everywhere To REPENT OF THEIR SINS and BELIVE In Jesus and Get Saved . Brother I love You , But God loves You Infinity More. Humble Yourself to Him and Belive in What He did for You and Be saved from Hell. Our Life is Short in the World but the Gift of God is Eternal Life Through Christ Jesus our God and Saviour. No Other God is there but Only One God , The Triune God of The Bible who can Save You. Repent and Belive in Him. God loves You.
Good luck for your exam! An exam is never more important than your mental health, though. It might seem like the end if you don't do as well as you'd have liked, but there's always more chances and opportunities after.

For sure!
Hi, how do you apply loci in medical school, I have tried a few times and it didnt feel effective. i would like to hear your way
Keep practicing. One thing I do is imagine a fridge in a Japanse style dojo with trees and other plants and the fridge turns into a slot machine.

This works. Unknowingly i also done the same..from zero basic to a good level of understanding within 2 days..its so possible
For sure, and makes learning a lot more efficient 🙌🏽
