- In this video, I talk about the practical strategy I've used for years to score top grades at university. It is a purely question-based, no notes, active recall method that helps you study less for your exams and still rank in the highest percentiles. This is the exact way I applied the 'Question Recall Method' for my exams and how you can easily do the same to get the highest grades possible.
Unlike most videos, I show you how Maths, Chemistry, Engineering, and Humanities students can ADAPT this active recall method for their subjects too. And lastly, we dive into my real and honest experience of using these evidence-based study techniques in my everyday revision (both the ups and the downs).

The 70 and 30% rule is a really good point that you don't hear being made often. So many of us who care about our studies tend to adopt a perfectionist mindset. The ability to relax and study in a more chill kind of way can be really beneficial and stress-reducing.
Yes exactly! Studying's just so much harder with a perfectionist mindset
That's awesome! Thanks, man!
Thank you 🎈
Thank you so much! Loved this video ❤️
So glad it helped :)
I like your content and your approach. You are the first one to talk about the STEM method, other than Thomas Frank who mentioned it briefly. Thank you.
I'm so glad you've found it useful!
This video is very underated. I agree with everything you say, after watching tons of 'how to study' videos. Also most of them doesn't specify the ones involved with calculations. It hit me hard when you talk about the part of identify what method to use to answer the questions involved in calculations like chemistry and physics. Definitely gonna try this, since I'm not a fan of taking notes for a few hours sitting on the table. I found myself burntout after just a week of doing that. You also mentioned how the other youtubers keep pointing out active recall and spaced repitition is the only best way to study and you said it's fine to relax sometimes with lighter study technique and have the 70/30 balance.
Honestly man, 100% agreed, note-taking is just too long. I'm really glad you've found it all useful though! Thank you :)
Finally someone told about Active recall usage in practical topics.
Thank you :)
I love the way you take time to explain everything in detail. Keep it up dear 🇬🇭🇬🇭
Thank you!!
Wow, this was very helpful, thanks a lot.
Your welcome :)
I wish I knew about this when I was in high school! So helpful!!
Same honestly! thank you
Seriously saved my grades - can’t wait for your next video!
So happy it's helped man!
Thank you! Really helpful.
Really glad it was :)
Thank you so much

Glad you liked it ! Welcome to the channel :)
This is lethal in combination w/ mind maps (w/ proper chunking)!
Its crazy how well it works

Being someone who hardly takes notes in class and rarely makes any notes. I might try these. Really loved the "make questions" and yes it really is helpful!
Thank you! Let us know how it goes
Thanks man, i’m gonna try this! I’m in my first year of Nursing school
Happy it helped! Goodluck!
Keep it up!
Thanks :)
Awesome content - and amazing video editing! Any plugins that you recommend? I really like the transitions and music!
Thanks man ya for this vid I used some elements from websites like motionarray and envato. Appreciate it :)
Thanks!! I already follow this method 😊
Yeahh I'm glad!
“The secret of getting ahead is getting started.” Just start. Amazing person reading this I hope you have an awesome day 🤍✨
Active recall has changed my life, I’m not wasting time annotating now and I’m able to study better, kudos on a beautiful video
For sure! Learning about active recall has really changed the game
I'm in nursing school, I would appreciate it if you could show how active recall questions are set up, please.Thank you.
Ofc :) ill try to show it clearer in the next vids!
Great Video! Would Try it out
Thanks! Let me know how it goes
can you make a vedio on how we understand the lesson or the lecture instead of memorise it ?
Thanks brother
Your welcome!
This kid used to be in my school now he is in Manchester. Proud of you bro!!
Appreciate it my guy
I am a second year medical student in morocco and i started to use this method and i’m sure i will see good results , can u
Please make a video about how to stay focus during studying ❤️ ( great content , sure u will be famous )
Good idea! Will make one about that for sure
I also use this method !!😊
:))
Google sheets is good for this!!!☺️ by the way which app are you using???
Do you also use something like Anki or just a spreadsheet with your questions? I think both have pros and cons
Mostly a spreadsheet or a word doc tbh. Not the biggest fan of anki but yes pros and cons for different types of subjects.
What if I study on video-lessons intstead of Powerpoint-slides (medicine)? Thanks a lot for your answer!
I think converting any content you have access to into qs and then practising them would be useful :)
Could any one plz, tell us the app he used for making questions?
any suggestions.
I just use a word doc tbh, keep it simple
hey asif, i have few question's for you, I'm a business student
let's say I have a chapter to read, it's full of theory's.
after done reading it once , and understand the things that need to be,
1. should I make question's that will cover the whole chapter?
2. I need to be careful making question,
3. and do I need to write the answer to? or NoT?
can you please help me out on this?
Yep making questions is the essential step so that next time you can test yourself on them.
Make good qs similar to your exams yep and you can improve the quality with every revision you do so they don't need to be perfect.
And nop no answers. When testing yourself later just use the actual chapters and google to find your answers. Having to find them makes it a much more active process
Hello, I really appreciate this video. It's really game changing. I'm wondering if you could share your active recall questions with us so we don't have to go over and get the same questions done again as it's highly likely that we are going to have lots of questions in common if we go ahead and make ours too. Thanks
Ofcourse! Happy to share them. Just send me a list of subjects/courses you're doing (email + insta in the description)
If the ista means Instagram, I'm sorry to say but I'm not on Instagram at the moment. Thanks very much once more
@@zain_asif does active recall work for any subject such as law?
My friend, I have a block with this method. I have no idea how to write the questions. I don't know what questions to write, if they are useful or not.
I get what you mean tbh but try replicating the kinds of questions in your past papers. Make sure the questions you create address a certain subtopic in your syllabus or learning outcomes.
Not all your qs will actually be good initially but the more you dive in, the better understanding you'll have of what's important and what's not. I end up changing my qs and improving them a lot as I revise and active recall over time. So don't worry about making them perfect :)
Good video! Make sure to invest in a good microphone for your future videos!
Do you prefer active recall or Inquiry Based Learning?
I do rely more on intuitive understanding and active recall but IBL is also an important part of learning things well
Does it work if you have exam: you get a question and you need to write everything you know about it? How to study in that case?
Yeaa! If you have past papers, then use questions from there and if not create them the way I've described in the video. As long as you test yourself on these questions multiple times and practise doing them by writing everything out, you should be fine :)
After I found out that money is only a tool to exchange for values, I stopped saving and started investing.... Invest your money to make more money, By saving your money you only lose its value and it gets depreciated.... a fellow creator ^=^..
Hey Zanif I am a learner in high school currently 11th grade and I hope that the video will help me
hope so too, goodluck :)
This year I will start studying medicine and I have an issue with this method. My biggest problem is that I don't know how to make good questions and I am not sure if it's better make questions before or after I've read the text
I make the questions while going through the text first time round. But doing a general skim of the content to get a basic understanding before making questions can be helpful too.
Getting good at making qs takes a bit of time but remember to cover all important topics and copy the style of exam qs when making them.
@@zain_asif thanks 👍
Zain
I am Preparing for Chartered Accountancy Course and it has tons of theory contents and we need to be precise while answering the questions, I have tried making the list of questions but I am still in dilemma whether it will work on or not? Literally, I am perplexed shall I continue framing questions. Will those questions be really helpful or it would be boredom and mess with tons of questions.
Am I on a process to excel it ?
Making questions is only helpful if you're testing yourself on them frequently. Try to make enough of them to cover the theory but obviously don't overdo it ;) And as always doing past papers is key for those exams. Goodluck!!
@@zain_asif Yes I wasn't testing it frequently, will try to make more questions and test it frequently.
Thanks
I swear these videos are almost always made by people studying medicine haha.
