it's unbelievable that Justin doesn't get more attention on TH-cam, his content is just incredible.
His content is very complicated and not as pretty as other creators. But he went from 10K subs 2 years ago to 500K today. I think it's a lot of growth.
It's too long
Agreed, i've been impacted the most from justin than many of the popular study gurus on youtube, ex ali abdaal. I would think it's the learning curve of learning how to learn lol. Took me a while to understand the big picture of what justin sung preaches
@@monsieurene3366 i agree with the complicated content, my dumbass cant really processed these thing, + im bad at english so i sometimes misunderstood something
@@rigbymama8436 Same. And I was already reading studies on learning.
Bonus tip honestly the best one! Take the time, learn some stuff and be comitted to one skill and be amazed on how much this will get better
I’m taking a 3rd year course at the University of Windsor called Cognitive Processes. It’s super cool because some of the material covers what Justin talks about. Our professor talks about encoding, building on prior knowledge, relational learning, schemas, etc.
It’s interesting to see that this is actually backed with scientific data.
What is the relational learning and how to do it
@@g12nm u relate the topics u study about, u dont learn them one by one n isolation, u rather study them simultaneously and study the connections they might hv among each other... it helps clarifying the fundamentals of the topics
@poet.s_moon how do you do it a for dense test book, let's say for a chapter
Making connections is easier when you study a broad topic
@@poet.s_moon Nice
@@g12nm for dense chapters u first study the big picture, the core topics, n relate them..once u hv established a relation u go deeper n as u go, relate them to the previous layer... this is also explained by dr. sung in his previous videos, this method is known as "layering" , and plus i would like to say if u r studying for a test, just know not all topics r equal there r topics that hold more chances of getting questioned than others, focus on studying these high yield ones n leave the low yield concepts, they will get filled as u go further...sry for the late reply btw
Justin Sung is so UNDERRATED, seriously some of the best study advice I ever received.
I’ve built my own personal learning system using the knowledge you have put out in your videos and it worked wonders! It somehow feels like a new superpower! Thanks you so much! You literally changed my life 😅
Can you summarise it in brief ?
@@mrstreakyt7433 I've broken it down to
1. Diagnostic Test
2. Priming
3. Deep Processing
4. Brain breaks
5. Offloading to a Physical Mindmap
6. Retrieval
7. Syntopical Reading
@@oreo753mine is similar but not as sophisticated and I need advice on retrieval. What is diagnostic testing?
@@jorgesanabria6484 Answering problems related to the chapter usually found at the end of each chapters
@@jorgesanabria6484 Diagnostic testing is measuring your ability to solve problems beforehand related to the chapter you’re going to tackle. I usually do it using the chapter questions at the end on each chapter. It helps for identifying the prior knowledge needed and the knowledge gaps you need to fill up so you have a purpose to fulfill when you read on the chapter. It also helps in priming because you can easily identify the terms in the question that appears unfamiliar to you.
Probably one of my favorite videos by you so far. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
In your test I got unchained and I definitely feel that. Very much have a fixed mindset and it is tough trying to shift it to more of a growth mindset. This video came at a great time.
Good luck buddy
Thank you, Justin, again for sharing your incredible knowledge and experience.
I watched almost every one of your videos, thanks for sharing your knowledge, can't wait to learn more
Dr. Sung please make a vid for maths and physics just like u made of chemistry
Thank you G keep making these bangers
I have been watching your videos for a while but I am still not able to came out from the traditional method of studying..
But this video is incredibly good especially the 1st tip. As someone who litrally like falls into depression after getting bad grades this is a lifesaver for me.
Thank you very very very much as always❤🙏
You keep delivering everyweek. Life-changing content as always. Thank you for delivering this knowledge in an interleaved manner for us.
🙌
Thank u so much, loved the last advice ❤
Thanks as always Dr Sun!
My pleasure!
Justin! You are the GOAT! Thank you!!
About the 1st point about the grades-I felt it hard at the start of my medical journey and now it's my second time. When I had my 1st ever exam I thought I'm gonna get A but the night I couldn't sleep and cried because I was afraid to fail and guess-I failed,and for little extra I failed another one. I was so depressed but got up and studied because without studying I can't achieve my dream (and this is everything I wanted-to learn about human body,how does it work and how to fix it). The next semester I passed everything with As and one B and I saw thing are going good. The 2nd year was As and one B and I got scholarship. I was proud of myself but I became afraid to fail,I needed to stay at this lever,also I became a bit greedy.3rd year only As and scholarship,even happier, didn't think that something bad will happen. But now I'm in my 4th year in session and I got two As and two Bs,I was feeling miserable. But I realized because I had these grades and getting money and be one of the best among my colleagues made me egoistic and only caring for the As but not for the real reason I started studying medicine,I was studying because I wanted to show I can but not because I wanted to know this stuff and apply it in my future practice. So I want to give to all students advice not to feel study as a nightmare but as pleasure,a thing that you want to do,be curious for knowledge. Be present and when you study topics be a little bit independent, don't be afraid to have questions,find the answers,make scenarios,connect in the big picture and with manu other topics because there's logic in it but teachers/professors won't make it (nost of them teach very straightforwardly)-you have to make it,not always you'll get the best grades (just because not everything depends on you) but you learn from these mistakes, understand it how it should be and continue forward ❤
P.S. Good luck to those who have exams coming soon, you'll make it.
Good luck to you! I hope that everything goes all right to you :)
I always tried to do all these things in High School but I thought I was wrong and slow. Because it took me me long to do these things and I didn't know a efficient way to get it done. I did it but didn't stick to it or started too late in the semester. I feel so vindicated by these videos sometimes. I wish I had this 30 years ago.
You are good at this thing
Great video as always dr sung 👏
Thanks a lot 😊
Good stuff mate take care
The number one tip I’ve gotten for learning/doing well in general is probably “embrace the struggle”.
Justin talks about something similar with actual learning being uncomfortable. The math sorcerer on TH-cam talks about “embracing the struggle” and it’s really helped me. Now when I’m struggling to understand a concept or do a problem, that comes into my mind that ”this is it!” And it really helps motivate me to push through to understand- and it works!
Great mindset!
Good stuff
I saw your videos last year and took some advice but didnt take it thst seriously, This year will be different I WILL TOP THE NATION
You should make a book about the subject I am currently trying to improve my learning techniques and have learned a lot from you but I would totally support you if you do.
Thank you
Many years ago, I had imagined a realm and set out to acquire that realm, to make it a permanent realm. After much work, the realm came to me. But it also required that I realize reality is a choice, whether consciously or subconsciously chosen. Rarely is one gifted with a reality from early on and upon consequent achievement, we regard them to be a genius among us. We all, then, can be a genius by choosing our reality embedded in what is called 'belief'.
I am a reader, a professional reader or at the least intending to be, well situated in my reading realm. Time and again, engagement take place as a break from my realm to serve the purpose of being a fellow human being. But my reading realm is the only thing that is real to me. The rest, unless there is a purpose, then may be regarded as a distraction.
I tried the study buddy thing for questions but ally friends chickened out, so I gave it up,imma try it again since Justin recommends
Good pointers Justin😁🤎
Love you Justin
Reflection is sooooo important
Keep making these videos! Try making more mind-mapping and reviewing textbooks videos ❤️.
Will do!
What does building a good foundation for medschool look like and what does it require?
It’s been 3 days and I am binge watching your videos from the very moment that I clicked one of your vid while scrolling on YT. Although that was not the 1st time that I saw that vid “the problem with active recall and spaced repetition”, in fact I first saw it last year but I ignored it back then because I was a new user and subscribed to Anki. And I haven’t utilized it that much. I am here because I really want to know what are the best strategies for learning that will work for me, I am in my 2nd year of doctorate degree and my goal was to have a passing grade, because of that I haven’t learned that much. Seriously, I am craving for CHANGE.
Thanks brother 🥹
First commenttttt 🎉🎉🎉 always your big fann
could you PLEASE make a video regarding second brains and your thoughts on it?
Do you think asking AI to make MCQs that requires higher order learning would be beneficial as having a study buddy?
I'm really curious as to why creating mind map on computer seems to stick way less but when it takes much faster to make...hmm
hello Justin i would like join ur course. When the new cohort will be started ? I mean the new cohort that will be announced after 7 Mar
What do you mean by being hyper critical i didn't get it? Can you give me some examples?
Sure,y when you do a degreeisabout reading round the topicgoi g in depth in the bits we are interested in.
I am intersted in understanding How would that be applicable to suject like anatomy, where significant amount of the content relyes on naming parts in the body and recalling these names as non-native English speaker.
Hi Justin! I love your content but I can't find the way to know what videos on your channel should I see first to have a good overall idea of your methods. Can you please make a starter video, for those who are new to your content and don't want to just watch the videos in a random order.
11:38 I hope the future me isn’t much busier 😅. I’ve got 2 kids, work about 30 hours a week and doing a full load of classes
Our profs also always say "you'll never feel ready for the state exam" but they never explain why or when ur ready
When you study do you not put your patient or ,earnerat the centre of you mind map and think about how their various issues may interact.
30 minutes a day of the exercises you teach? If I were to enroll in iCanstudy we would apply strategies 30 minutes per day?
I would like to see how answer the questions
Why is it relevant
How does it compare and contrast
When reading new content
Hello Sir,
Actually my question is I'm preparing for the UPSC examination and whenever I study I get easily distracted by my (only) phone first.
Second whatever I study immediately after an hour I'll be blank.Seeking your suggestion and tricks to handle the problem.
0:50 HAHAHA Justin your winks are really charming!! No need to cringe 😂
can you give an example of ultra critical thinking i get the gist of it that i think is coming to your own conclusions while studying resources but a little more insight would be appreciated
9:12 I think this is something that has helped me do well so far. I started the quarter off terribly due to some missed assignments and being busy with a family trip that I probably should’ve skipped. Im taking physics, differential equations and chemistry 142 and I was at like a C/B after turning stuff in late and it was a little intimidating but I knew that I still have the rest of the quarter. We’re approaching mid term and all three classes are now up to high B/A level. Not the highest, but trending up.
With the assignments, I knew I wasn’t going to be able to actually learn the content and get them in on time, but would be better off actually learning the content correctly than just finding answers online and getting a good grade. Paying off now because I feel like I’m understanding the content and I’m primed to finish well.
ics student here😊
Hey can you make a video for how to read a non fiction book , so that the info sticks with you for longer period as it has a lot of content
They teach that in their free workshop on the ICS website
@@edayavuz1667 Good information thanks
Do you help in jee advanced preparation as well?
Yes this works
Stop measuring learning ability based on grades and adopt a mindset shift. 1:08
Test yourself often to identify gaps in knowledge before exams. 6:01
Be critical and skeptical of everything you learn for a stronger foundation. 9:11
Set aside 30 minutes a day for priority time to learn and reflect. 16:33

Summary?
Million dollars question:
Is it possible to improve our IQ by learning a new language ?
Not really😅. You can learn new things with a new language but a language itself is nothing new it's just something we invented. Did I get it right?
6:30 Not so sure abt the study buddy thing. In law here it's more abt opinion. That's y u need an expert to grade u. It might turn out not ideal depending on ur study buddy. He'd have to be pretty good if not an actual teacher
Man why don't you share your notes that you have taken in masters?
Wow, justin smiling in the thumbnail is a new one
Haha, do you want more or less of this?
Your smile is great Justin. Do it more 😊@@JustinSung
Hey Justin,
Can I join a video, I really need some help with my study system?
Think it's for members of ICS only
In the past, we have done this for my subscribers as well.
Would you like to see more of this content?
@@JustinSung Yes 100%, I am actually part of ICS course and it would be great to have this sort of content coming out to aid us in our prep.
I actually get pretty good grades in every subject even after studying just a little but maths i put 4 times effort but I don't get the results I don't know what to do . Math ruins my whole report card
The problem I face is that even I want to study I dont know why I feel so tired yeaah even though i feel guilt wasting my time still. So i just end up watchinh social media one more day 😢😢
Would you say practise tests are worth doing over flashcards?
Yes because prarice tests helps u in knowing the gaps of ur knowledge in tht certain topic and also it is better for memory
I think you assume alot that difficulties with essays and exams are only about knowledge and how you think rather than how you right things down or how to organise an essay or write it the right way. Knowledge acquisition and integration understandung ir even in many cases application ( although harder ) is the easy bit most of the time producing it in the form the lecturers expect can be the hard bit. Sadly not all exams are vivas
When writing an essay, YOU CAN EXPLAIN IT, if you have enough comprehension to understand it.
@Haqueip how is this helping with the grammar and spelling I can explain the concept in a mindmap or diagrame but when ypu linearity it people seam to be awfully pernickety about commas full stops and which way round the letters go even which way round the words in a sentence go sometimes none of this should have that much impact on what you understand about a concept usually I have mears ilene the characters and punctuation move when I'm reading this has little implication foe my comprehension it's just Tiring.
@@janechapman7801 Hmm, it means you can't articulate your thoughts clearly.
the thumbnail quality
🥰🥰🥰
5:00
Enter exam already knowing the results
14:00 it's so sad that almost no teaching body will tolerate this. Even my 50 and above profs literally sulk when u ask them abt the weaknesses of certain theories and then they someone ELSE laugh abt it they take it as an deliberate insult and literally ignore the question. Sry, had to get that one out
I’m sorry to hear that man
Om nom
Here comes the sung...

First comment
The people around me aren't critical or open-minded.
first
I have the impression that he is constantly repeating himself through his last videos, his tips are nice but for those who know them already it's not really an update 😢
Thanks for the feedback.
What are some types of videos and topics you would like to see me go in more depth on?
@@JustinSung thanks for answering.
Here are some of ideas of topics and tips you could deal with or talk a little bit more.
1) the notion of groups , chunks and the 2-4 rule.
2) the notion of wheel mind map, water falling mind map combined with linearity
3) the notion of laterality
4) why are the flow and the logic associated ? What does it mean to find purpose of information ? Are the flow and the directionality only given by cause and effect relationships?
5) WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF LINKS BETWEEN PIECES OF INFORMATION ? I HAVE THE IMPRESSION THAT THERE IS JUST "CAUSE AND EFFECT" RELATIONSHIP (hence your video named :"don't rely on memorisation" where you talk about concept and cause and conséquences)
Is there any way we get BIGGER PLATE episodes back… they were also very helpful
@@safar_within what are they ?
Justin I recommend you start working towards fighting the ecological crisis. Mass extinction will otherwise,without the help of everyone, unfold within our life spans. Cheers
Do not impose your ideas on others
Let other people do their own thing
@@Cheesecake99YearsAgo I'm not imposing my ideas on him. if you don't think that we're running out of time prove it. Because the way things are going, if we don't take action, we're f*cked
@@Cheesecake99YearsAgo I'm sorry but if trying to persuade someone to do the right thing is, "imposing" my "ideas", then guilty as charged. You need to see reason and join the cause yourself too
