This is THE BEST spaced repetition video on youtube. Everyone else talk the walk; you walk the talk. You show a real working example. God bless you brother!
For the first time a studytuber goes over how to actually "learn" stuff and recall it with some efficient methods. Practically this was really helpful liam thanks!
Damn this is gold. It all makes sense now. I always had this feeling that i need to be handling a certain topics for a over period of time to get the hang of it instead of cramming it. I just didn’t know how and why. Now i understand.
This video is a masterpiece. I couldn’t reinscribe for my next semester of college, wich started like 2 weeks ago, so instead I’m studying some of the classes I was supposed to be taking on my own. And I was having a hard time learning like for real since I have no “pressure”, but I started to do my search on how to fix it and this video saved my life, thank youuuuu!!!
Liam Porritt Thank you for sharing your tips and helpings us out, such a great energy that motives me, I subscribed instantly, this is a great channel, the kind of content I was looking for. Keep on going with this and have a happy day!! (also sorry about my english, I'm not a native speaker)❤️
This is SO MUCH BETTER than Ali's video. He gave the knowledge but didn't explain how to apply it to real life, we all live whilst you explained everything step-by-step. Ali may be the master, but you are simply better.
@@liam.porritt Well I thought it was obvious, also I have been in love with your channel for the past 6 days, the tips that are there are so helpful. I think we all thank God, or whatever it is there that you are here! By the way, GREETINGS FROM POLAND!!
THIS IS LITERALLY ME OMG. I was literally asking someone for advice on how to retain information cos I forget everything I've learned in one section when I move on to another section. And then this popped up
I don't comment very often but I have to admit. I think this is THE best video of studying I've seen so far (and I've seen quite a few). I'm currently in medical school and throughout the years I've tried multiple studying techniques, tried to use some that I found online and others I've come up with, but this video really breaks it down to what is really important. You show examples, use graphs, the quality of the video is amazing. I truly believe you are going to help loads of people and you're gonna grow so much in this platform. Thank you so much for the video, I watched it fully, subscribed and turned on the notifications my dude. Brilliant job
I'm currently doing my A levels and I literally dread looking back at year 12 content because there is so much and I get overwhelmed but now I think I'm going to use the spread sheet and do those topic burst so i can review the topics for each subject. Thank you so much for this video!!
Thank YOU so much for watching and commenting! Wahhh, I remember the same dread of looking back at stuff I learned nearly 2 years ago! Hopefully you find the topic bursts helpful at you move towards your exams, and if you get chance, start trying to just look over the material you did at the start of year 12 to build up those spaced repetitions 😀
I'm in year 12 too.. And all I can say this that it was already hard as hell then this corona and online classes stuff has made it even harder😩 I just hope I would get good grades
OMG: The bit where you are shaking your head - going "Nup - don't think I've EVER seen this before..." is so accurate. Liam's LAW of circular study. I love this, man. Your OCD is very helpful for my ADHD. Thanks.
This came at a perfect time! I'm currently revising for my final IB exams and Biology is a tough one to tackle since there's honestly a bucket load to remember... This video (and all others) deserve so many more views!! Thanks so much :))
Thank you so so much Ren! Glad that it came at the right time for you just as you're building up to your IB exams - IB is tough, but I'm sure you'll smash it 😝Good luck for biology, and thanks for commenting (and saying the video deserves more views!) 🤗
I agree with you, studying for 1 whole topic 100% and the second topic 100% is exhausting. This video helps me know how to stop that habit and do better, thank you
I must say, I agree with the comments here! I love how you give specific examples on how you apply the principles of spaced repetition. I also definitely love the practicality of all this. As an engineering student who chose to pursue medicine, the approach needed for studying is very different. I always look for youtube videos on study tips but I think I made the mistake of checking ONLY videos from med students. I did learn a lot from those videos but I am able to "connect" with this video the most -- a video by a law student! Thanks a lot!
Both you and Ali are right! It depends on the topic. Law is about concepts and medicine is more about learning specific stuff. So for each discipline your methods are right and effective
Thank you for sharing the practical advice for spaced repetition and incorporating the interleaving (switching topics) method of studying. I was reading about effect study strategies, but I wasn’t sure how to apply it. Now it’s more clear. Thank you! 😄
Really glad this helped clarify how you can actually apply spaced repetition and interleaving to your own studies 🤗 Good luck and I hope I can continue to help you in future videos 😁
Liam Porritt Thank you Liam! I definitely have to watch the brain splurge video. I have started a spreadsheet for my studies to prep for exams. I’m looking forward to seeing more videos in the future - already subscribed! I appreciate that you were thorough in explaining too. It shows a passion for learning and educating. Great stuff really! 😁👍
Bro when you got to the study plan I was shook cause what you were saying before that was some solid advice, and o thought that was the plan I literally took out my notebook
so so excited to try circling. as a learner by writing (on an ipad), studying feels like it takes me FOREVER. i think this will be so effective for me!!
Oh my goodness. Thank you for breaking down HOW to study MULTIPLE topics in a clear and concise manner. I have a massive comprehensive exam coming up and I was feeling very overwhelmed.
Excellent video! I love the way you stress that you can't really learn something when you haven't forgotten it in the first place. I like to compare the brain to a computer. The RAM represents the short-term memory (small & fast) whilst the hard drive and SSD represent the long-term memory (large & slow). You can't store an entire semester of courses in your short-term memory, so you write them to your hard drive. Then, you have to practice to access your hard drive quickly, that is, replacing the information from your conventional hard drive to your super fast SSD.
I guess I will have less stress for my upcoming exams now. Ali's video introduced me to SPACED REPETITION (a year back) but yours guided on how can I effectively implement them for my benefit. Thanks.
Perfectly timing as my new term just started this week! Definitely going to give this a try because so far I haven't found a good study technique that fits my needs.
An extremely efficient video. Thanks for all the hard work and research you put into developing the video and explaining the actual concept of space repetition. As a person who is starting uni in September. This is so helpful.
This is so helpful. I've been trying to structure my studying using spaced repetition but can't seem to find a practical technique how, well, until I found your channel. Thank you so much. Bless you for finding time to film these videos!
This is so so helpful, the way you break it down into practical and achievable steps, the way you explain the whole concept clearly and from an entirely new perspective (every other video I see pretty much only covers flashcards, which are great but not really applicable for most topics), really, the whole video is absolutely great. I truly value the high quality of your content, so thank you!
He deserves more subscribers.. such realistic approach of video making from which we can learn a lot of things.. seriously I did took many things from this video and I am going to apply in my study routine
5:46 yes I do remember doing something like that. While I moved on the next chapter, every 15 to 30 mins I went back to the first chapter because the info was more challenging.
Great video Liam!! I can see the huge effort you have put in making this video. Amazing ideas. Will definitely try to follow it. You deserve more subscribers. One day you will surely become a famous youtuber. Good luck buddy! 👍
Thank you so so much! This comment has just made my evening, so THANK YOU AGAIN! So glad you liked the video buddy, and hope you can try out some of the techniques I shared! Please do share with anyone you think might find it helpful too and help me on my way to becoming a famous TH-camr hehe 🤗
I really appreciate your work; the quality of your videos is awesome. I'm a self learner and I'm trying to use active recall and spaced repetition to my study sessions. Your tips are very useful, but I'd like you to talk a little bit slowly, because at certain points you talked so fast that I wasn't able to follow you and I got lost at many key points of the video. I suppose this doesn't represent an issue for native english speakers, but as spanish speaker, it can result very hard and even frustrating. Out of that, please continue with your YV channel. As I said: your content is AWESOME!
Thank you so much, Liam, for an informative video. Despite the clarity, I am facing a challenge. I am currently a fourth-year student and have 11 units/classes/topics that I need to understand before my final exams in the next six months. As you can understand, it is overwhelming. Do you mind walking me through how to arrange the topic bursts you were talking about? I'll be most grateful!
Very practical application of spaced Repetition that I was looking for. Have always struggled on how to study for 5 modules at the same time because I was confused on how to plan my revision timetable to fit multiple topics in one day. Very glad to have come across your video! Do make more to share with us 😊
(For reference, I study medicine in UK). The reason Ali has a slightly different approach (in terms of doing “random topics”), is because in medicine (both in exams and as a doctor) all content is very integrated and actually is fairly jumbled and mixed up within each individual case; part of the challenge is linking various topics together. From my understanding, law is different in the sense that each topic/area seems to be fairly explicit from another (eg. land law is probably not often crossed over with corporate). But either way, still a great video and I will definitely implement this.
Since you mentioned Ali, I must say I do find it easier to follow him,for one he does not speak at a speed of 1 million words a sec. Secondly following his advise I have managed to up my GCSE grades from a 7 to 9 in 8 subjects in 2019. I am now doing my A levels and continue to use Ali s revision techniques and continue to score often the highest marks in my year and do so effortlessly & all thanks to Ali s videos. To be honest I don’t know Ali,never met him but watching his videos motivated me, helped me immensely with my revision and I do find him very likeable,he comes across as a nice honest guy on TH-cam which leads to my question- is there any particular personal reason that you are trying to undermine Ali through this video? Heard you mention you don’t agree with him? So what? I am sure no one is expecting you to agree with you. People are looking for original ideas! I could be wrong but most of your videos appear to be a copy of Ali s video, same content. He posts a video and then much later you post one with usually exact content? 🧐Often basically a copy of his content when it comes to revision and study help videos. But why then would you undermine Ali or to be precise make a point of stating you disagree with him as if that matters in this video? Don’t understand that. Never seen Ali do that to anyone in his video. It is much better just to post videos on what your suggestion and ideas on revision & study skills are rather than make a point of stating you don’t think another TH-camr is right , it does smack of trying to steal his viewers just . Who cares whether you agree or not? You have taken most of his content until recently and posted as your video,if you have an original idea ,post it as your own ,no need to undermine someone else. Pity! This could have been a good video but undermining another TH-camr (who is perhaps more successful than you) smacks of jealousy and whether it’s intentional or not doesn’t gel with me.
I’m friends with Ali, discussed this video with him, and justify why I disagree with his video on Spaced Repetition in one regard. Think Ali’s a great guy, makes great videos, and I’m trying to share my own ideas, some of which overlap with the scientifically proven strategies Ali also shares 😊
I’m in yr 12 and loving this burst concept , however I don’t know how I would set up my bursts as o have multiple subjects to attend to. Could I have some advice please? Great video by the way !👏🏾
Hi, Liam, thank you for sharing all those techniques. I am currently preparing for national examination and I just learned a lot from your videos. Hope you have a great day : )
Hi, thanks for the tips! But I have one question: how would you do the bursts when you do 6 different subjects? Would you recommend doing one subject during the first burst second and third and then do a different subject during a break or do 2 bursts on 2 subjects? sorry if this sound confusing
This is actually helpful and the most practical video about spaced repetition out there. Give us more of this please. p.s: your presentation methods and those graphs are outstanding.
I like your idea of "miracle study plan". Question. How do u make each of the topics? Do u expect to finish that whole topic in one session? What if there are many subtopics under the topic. Do u list down all of those as well?
Wow! Thanks for the video. I know Spaced repetition and Active Recall since long time but I haven't been able to implement them yet successfully. I try for a few days , give up and go back to my bad old study habits. I will definitely use these tips you have given and I hope I don't give up this time. :D
Hi Liam, It’s probably too long to leave you a comment about this subject. But there is a very interesting book concerning about that called ‘Make it stick’. A lot of your indications and techiniques find scientific bases in there. Tnx for the video and congrats for your recent grades!
I think because in medicine it's okay you to know the basic or the main concept to pass the exam meanwhile in law you have all the fact in detail but in medicine quite hard because it has a lot of stuff to remember and the information always evolved. Btw, I just Year 1 medical student, the opinion may be vary for the upcoming years.
I wish there was a way to automate this process a bit more. Having an application or a program to tell you what topics to cover would simplify this method a bit more. Using Anki is great for discrete information, but not as great for reviewing bigger picture stuff. Anyone know of any programs/apps that can functionally do what this manual revision table is doing?
Hey Liam, I've also achieved great results with the "End of the Day Recall" but could not find evidence-based research on the topic. Have you come across where this is mentioned online? :) Nice Video Btw
could you please do a video specifically on study techniques for LAW courses??? 🥺 not particularly much videos on that by any TH-camrs would help a ton thankssssss 🤍🤍🤍🤍
Hi Liam, love your vids! As a tip on the brain-splurge I'd like to recommend to write the things you forgot in green instead of red. Its been proven that this creates a more positive vibe and makes it easier to remember! This since red is a colour our brain associates with danger/warning/mistakes/etc.
Thanks so much Martijn! Oooh yeh- I had heard that and I’ll give it a go! I personally just find red stuff sticks in my mind, but will give doing it in green a try! 🤗🤗
If you're here to see if your wasting 20mins or not. Then let me assure you. You're NOT!! he might not have many subscribers but he has facts and tips ashard as a rock! !
Great practical tips Liam! Funny recently I've been thinking of incorporating repetitions to my study routine and this video definitely helps! You are now my favorite nerd Liam 😉 Question: What shall we do during the break time? Starting another group of topics parallelly or just doing nothing major? P.S, This question comes from my second watch of this video. 😁
Hey Chu! Really glad to hear that you found the video gave you a few ideas on how to incorporate repetitions into your study routine! Hehe- I am truly honoured to hold the esteemed title of ‘Chu’s favourite nerd’ 😂🤗🤗 And when you’re studying, it’s a really good idea to have breaks every 45-90 minutes of between 10-20 mins to make sure you have something to look forward to and work towards while you’re studying! But, I would recommend studying multiple topics on the same day to ensure that you can rotate between topics and gain the benefits of forgetting before you return to study that topic again! Does that make sense? 🤗
Liam Porritt Thanks for the reply Liam! Actually I meant the “break” mentioned in your miraculous study plan: the break between study bursts which varies from 7-10 days to 3-5 days as one progresses with the repetitions. Not sure what one should do during this break time... Haha the title of “favorite nerd” is well deserved! 😉
Ahhhhhh yep- sorry! I was a little confused!! You should absolutely be doing other topics during that time! The idea is that you cycle through the different topics (e.g. reproduction in biology), doing each topic a few times over the course of a few days, and then leaving longer and longer “breaks” between each topic burst (I.e. each time you cover reproduction a few times over the course of a couple of days). During these “breaks”, you’ll be doing the topic bursts of other topics!! Does that makes sense?
Liam Porritt Yes it makes perfect sense! So basically keeping feeding the brain new information points while tricking it to retain the old ones when they are just about to fade away. Is that correct? :P
Yup - that's exactly it! And then once you've fed your brain new information once, that becomes the 'old information' you trick it to remember just as it's fading away :)

Yeaaa exactly
Not the first time
I would advise u to watch Ali abdaal and Mike and Matty but especially Ali abdaal (the God)
Damn this is gold. It all makes sense now. I always had this feeling that i need to be handling a certain topics for a over period of time to get the hang of it instead of cramming it. I just didn’t know how and why. Now i understand.
i’m at 5:47 and the breakdown of studying time is giving me LIFE. YES.
This video is a masterpiece. I couldn’t reinscribe for my next semester of college, wich started like 2 weeks ago, so instead I’m studying some of the classes I was supposed to be taking on my own.

To be honest I don’t know Ali,never met him but watching his videos motivated me, helped me immensely with my revision and I do find him very likeable,he comes across as a nice honest guy on TH-cam which leads to my question- is there any particular personal reason that you are trying to undermine Ali through this video? Heard you mention you don’t agree with him? So what? I am sure no one is expecting you to agree with you. People are looking for original ideas!
I could be wrong but most of your videos appear to be a copy of Ali s video, same content.
He posts a video and then much later you post one with usually exact content? 🧐Often basically a copy of his content when it comes to revision and study help videos.
But why then would you undermine Ali or to be precise make a point of stating you disagree with him as if that matters in this video? Don’t understand that. Never seen Ali do that to anyone in his video. It is much better just to post videos on what your suggestion and ideas on revision & study skills are rather than make a point of stating you don’t think another TH-camr is right , it does smack of trying to steal his viewers just .
Who cares whether you agree or not? You have taken most of his content until recently and posted as your video,if you have an original idea ,post it as your own ,no need to undermine someone else. Pity! This could have been a good video but undermining another TH-camr (who is perhaps more successful than you) smacks of jealousy and whether it’s intentional or not doesn’t gel with me.
I’m friends with Ali, discussed this video with him, and justify why I disagree with his video on Spaced Repetition in one regard. Think Ali’s a great guy, makes great videos, and I’m trying to share my own ideas, some of which overlap with the scientifically proven strategies Ali also shares 😊
I’m in yr 12 and loving this burst concept , however I don’t know how I would set up my bursts as o have multiple subjects to attend to. Could I have some advice please? Great video by the way !👏🏾
Don't know how to thank you.Such an amazing practical approach 👍👍👍
Hi, Liam, thank you for sharing all those techniques. I am currently preparing for national examination and I just learned a lot from your videos. Hope you have a great day : )
What a great video, Liam I think you should have more audience because you are doing such a wonderful work here!
This is actually helpful! Thank you! I will try this
Extreme simplification of learning and a great practical approach.
I *smashed* that like button, now it's sad button.
Hi, thanks for the tips! But I have one question: how would you do the bursts when you do 6 different subjects? Would you recommend doing one subject during the first burst second and third and then do a different subject during a break or do 2 bursts on 2 subjects? sorry if this sound confusing
Just learned I’m doing everything right my hole study-life 🤔💪🏼 I am so proud I think I’m gonna give myself the day of 😌
This is actually helpful and the most practical video about spaced repetition out there.
Give us more of this please.
p.s: your presentation methods and those graphs are outstanding.
This is such a well done video! Thank you Liam :)
Thanks so much Damian!
Thank you so much, this is extremely helpful! God bless.
I like your idea of "miracle study plan".
Question. How do u make each of the topics? Do u expect to finish that whole topic in one session? What if there are many subtopics under the topic. Do u list down all of those as well?
Thanks Liam for all your top tips. You're a gem and you have a wonderful career in front of you. Best wishes. Yoan.
Such great tips!!!! I will definitely be using these!!
Thanks so much Rahmah! Really glad you found the tips helpful - I hope they make a big difference when you’re studying 🤗🤗
I need active recall and spaced repetition for engineering studentt.
Man...i like so very much to hearing your ideas, you are very interesting person!
Thank you for sharing these precious advices and methods!🌸
This is incredible. Thank you
Wow! Thanks for the video. I know Spaced repetition and Active Recall since long time but I haven't been able to implement them yet successfully. I try for a few days , give up and go back to my bad old study habits.
I will definitely use these tips you have given and I hope I don't give up this time. :D
Amazing video.
Could you explain more on the topic bursts especially where you are having multiple subjects
Hi Liam, It’s probably too long to leave you a comment about this subject. But there is a very interesting book concerning about that called ‘Make it stick’. A lot of your indications and techiniques find scientific bases in there. Tnx for the video and congrats for your recent grades!
I still can’t understand how to do this I feel like giving up.
Great content. You're helping me a lot ! Thank you :)
Just found your channel.It's amazing.Thank you so much for these wonderful techniques.
Law and medicine need different approaches. I shall begin using active recall though!
Why is that so? Can you please explain that? He studies law and uses this technique. I would like to hear from you.
I think because in medicine it's okay you to know the basic or the main concept to pass the exam meanwhile in law you have all the fact in detail but in medicine quite hard because it has a lot of stuff to remember and the information always evolved. Btw, I just Year 1 medical student, the opinion may be vary for the upcoming years.
@@mizawani6947 does tht mean for bio u can get away without details too? I feel it can be too detailed at times
you are so smart! thank you for this.
I wish there was a way to automate this process a bit more. Having an application or a program to tell you what topics to cover would simplify this method a bit more. Using Anki is great for discrete information, but not as great for reviewing bigger picture stuff. Anyone know of any programs/apps that can functionally do what this manual revision table is doing?
Do a video on how to tackle assignments and finish them while revising for exams.
Hey Liam, I've also achieved great results with the "End of the Day Recall" but could not find evidence-based research on the topic. Have you come across where this is mentioned online? :) Nice Video Btw
Thank you , this was what I needed .🍀
Or may be what everyone needs who are struggling to make a good productive study plan .
could you please do a video specifically on study techniques for LAW courses??? 🥺
not particularly much videos on that by any TH-camrs
would help a ton
thankssssss 🤍🤍🤍🤍
You are incredible Liam :)
I think I’ve just found the key to my studies
Hi Liam, love your vids! As a tip on the brain-splurge I'd like to recommend to write the things you forgot in green instead of red. Its been proven that this creates a more positive vibe and makes it easier to remember! This since red is a colour our brain associates with danger/warning/mistakes/etc.
Thanks so much Martijn! Oooh yeh- I had heard that and I’ll give it a go! I personally just find red stuff sticks in my mind, but will give doing it in green a try! 🤗🤗
If you're here to see if your wasting 20mins or not. Then let me assure you. You're NOT!! he might not have many subscribers but he has facts and tips ashard as a rock! !
Wahh thank you so much 😊🤗
Love this!! Just found your channel and can’t wait to watch more
Great practical tips Liam! Funny recently I've been thinking of incorporating repetitions to my study routine and this video definitely helps! You are now my favorite nerd Liam 😉
Question: What shall we do during the break time? Starting another group of topics parallelly or just doing nothing major? P.S, This question comes from my second watch of this video. 😁
Hey Chu! Really glad to hear that you found the video gave you a few ideas on how to incorporate repetitions into your study routine!
Hehe- I am truly honoured to hold the esteemed title of ‘Chu’s favourite nerd’ 😂🤗🤗
And when you’re studying, it’s a really good idea to have breaks every 45-90 minutes of between 10-20 mins to make sure you have something to look forward to and work towards while you’re studying!
But, I would recommend studying multiple topics on the same day to ensure that you can rotate between topics and gain the benefits of forgetting before you return to study that topic again!
Does that make sense? 🤗
Liam Porritt Thanks for the reply Liam! Actually I meant the “break” mentioned in your miraculous study plan: the break between study bursts which varies from 7-10 days to 3-5 days as one progresses with the repetitions. Not sure what one should do during this break time...
Haha the title of “favorite nerd” is well deserved! 😉
Ahhhhhh yep- sorry! I was a little confused!! You should absolutely be doing other topics during that time! The idea is that you cycle through the different topics (e.g. reproduction in biology), doing each topic a few times over the course of a few days, and then leaving longer and longer “breaks” between each topic burst (I.e. each time you cover reproduction a few times over the course of a couple of days). During these “breaks”, you’ll be doing the topic bursts of other topics!! Does that makes sense?
Liam Porritt Yes it makes perfect sense! So basically keeping feeding the brain new information points while tricking it to retain the old ones when they are just about to fade away. Is that correct? :P
Yup - that's exactly it! And then once you've fed your brain new information once, that becomes the 'old information' you trick it to remember just as it's fading away :)
Thanks, Liam. I really like your channel.
This is so helpful, thank you so much!
Can you please elaborate on the topic burst for GCSE?
I don't know how to implement it.
