Romans 10:9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
“Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.” Never doubt yourself
Thank you, I really needed this 😊
@@CJE-nv8nn much love

A word.

"You're going to get many of these questions wrong and that's OK."
This is something every kid and adult who is still studying needs to understand and accept.
It felt so amazing to hear these words from you.
Thank you!

This is the single most helpful active recall video ever
Thanks means a lot !
Can’t believe I watched this for free. This was a blast from start to finish and I love how every step was explained as to why you should do it and how it benefits you. You guys deserve more views thank you so much!
haha I feel the same way all the time, I can't believe I can make videos and be able to connect with like-minded people like yourself, on the internet for free. what are you studying?
@@CajunKoiAcademy I’m currently studying for my pre-med board exams. Thankfully, I enrolled in a really competitive review center and we have these assessment exams for every subject that we finish and they made me realize I was studying everything the wrong way. Back in school, memorization was enough to get those passing grades but now that I’m reviewing for my boards I realized that I never actually knew “how” to study. And since I also plan on taking medicine after this, I figured as early as now I should step back and reshape my study ethics. Really is a lot of effort with the active recall and practice test but I noticed that the info retains much longer and I can actually explain what I just studied and the effort is paying off I’m grateful for content creators like you guys more power to you!
@@WhalekinMoonGenshin hey man. It's been a year. How's it going for you?
I could actually relate with lot of what you said. I'm in medschool now although I did decent in college I felt like it's not good enough. Like you (a year back) I too do not know how to "study" so I'm trying to change my study habit.
Hope you are doing well!
*the new Ali Abdaal thumbnail style is catching on!*
I was wondering the same
Agreed
Lol it’s worth a shot
Maybe he doesn’t need flashcards anymore
@@specialreview4429 Remnotes is used for student life. Ali has already been doing medicine for years and what he needs to active recall will probably take 20 years to Need review again.
0:50-Practice Problems and Quiz
1:10-Hypercorrection effect
1:20-Stop Recite is best when learning some material from the first time for eg if you are learning from TH-cam or Reading then you should after every section or after specific time stop and recite/write/type(use all your senses)
2:20-Writing Questions when learning
1)Helps in Active Recall Later
2)Keeps you engaged before specific time stop or in the class
3)Helps you understand how a particular topic can be on test you can use these to frame questions Why,How,What
3:20-Immediate Review:After Writing Questions we should try to immediately solve them
4:20-Use Toggles to Group Topics of a subject into a bigger picture
5:20-Mind Map
6:07-Teaching from memory
7:40-Flashcards are 1)Mobile 2)Save Time 3)Randomize 4)Spaced Repetition
8:40-use pnemonics to remember order
Thanks for making my life easier ❤😂
You're the goat
12 Ways to use active recall step-by-step on a day-to-day basis to get better grades:
PRIOR TO CLASS
1 Pretest:
Taking a small quiz before you start learning allows you to benefit from the hypercorrection effect.
2 Stop and Recite:
When being exposed to learning material for the first time,
-> stop after every section/idea/concept/process
-> close book/pause video
-> recite what you have just learned in own words
-> the more explicit you are by writing, typing or saying the better
DURING CLASS
3 Write in-class questions:
-> for definitions and facts use What is … ? questions.
-> for processes/method/procedures/ techniques use How? questions.
-> use Why? questions for deeper understanding
-> answer the lecture objectives/review questions
AFTER CLASS
4 Immediately review your in class questions after class
5 use toggles within note taking app ( remnote)
-> allows to see forest from trees
6 use mindmaps
-> blank piece of paper
-> pick a topic of study
-> brain dump everything you know about the topic
-> actively link ideas to one another
7 Teaching ( feynman technique/ protege effect)
-> do a brain splurge of all the concepts that you have learned from memory by writing it out or teaching it in own words
-> type as if its a script, forces you to choose your words carefully
-> pretend teaching to a 7 year old ( use as little jargon as possible)
-> pretend to teach an outsider
-> pretend to teach a nosy friend ( keep answering “why” repeatedly)
ETERNAL MEMORY
8 Digital Flashcards!!
-> remnote, supermemo, anki
-> interleaving
-> spaced repetition
-> premade decks
9 Enumeration
-> particularly useful for process and problem based classes
-> list of steps to execute in particular order
10 Occlusion
-> images, structures, graphs, charts, anatomy, surgery
-> image occlusion functions in SRS
-> alternative use word doc and cover answer with shape, delete to reveal
-> cloze deletions for words in sentences
HOME STRETCH
11 Problem sets
-> make sure they come with answers and explanations
-> understand why wrong answers are wrong and why right answers are right
12. practice tests
-> mimic test conditions as much as possible
-> timing, bathroom breaks, earplugs, mask etc…
-> gauge which topics are strengths and which are weaknesses
Thanks 😊
If only TH-cam comments had toggles
@@CajunKoiAcademy IKR!
@@CajunKoiAcademy We could make the comment sections with the toggles and other features in notion!
Thanks!
Omg with this camera, content and editing quality HOW DO THESE GUYS NOT HAVE 5 MIL !!??
Haha thanks means a lot ✌️
@V Keerthi Vikram absoloutely
@V Keerthi Vikram thanks for the confidence ❤️
They will, I can guarantee you.
Fantastic! Thank you so much for this overview! The two of you made me change the way I approach learning in all of my areas of life. I improved so much because of the information you guys provide. Also, big thanks for the RemNote app!
Glad I found y'all now that I just barely started college. These are so helpful and it opened my eyes to better myself.
Thank you so much. I'm glad I'm stumbled across this page. I finished my first year and there's still things I want to improve, taking notes in class by writing questions from topics and reviewing later is my favorite. Rather then mindlessly copying everything you see when you have slides.
Thank you, this was very helpful!
Before Class:
0:41 Pre-test (Doing the practice test before learning the material.)
Hypercorrection effect: The more confident a learner is of their wrong answer, the better the information sticks when they subsequently learn the right answer.
1:19 Stop and Recite: Every once in a while stop learning and recite what you’ve learned.
2:21 In Class Questions: Every once in a while stop learning and recite what you’ve learned.
In class questions: Write headings as questions (Topics → what question, e.g. What is addiction?
3:23 Immediate Review: Recalling the information right after class or going to the lecture slides one by one and try to explain and teach the concept out loud.
After Class:
4:29 Toggles
5:22 Mind Maps
6:07 Teaching
7:36 Flashcards
8:20 Enumeration
8:48 Occlusions
9:51 Problem Sets
10:50 Practice tests
Ask yourself: What is one thing I will apply from this video?
underrated AFF i always come to this video bcz of ur epic summary lol
Actually, you are right! This summary is underrated AF! 🔥👏🏻
I appreciate it a lot. Thank you for this, Martin!
I used to learn tons of information when I studied at university. Now I just wondering how much easier my life might be if I watched this video a couple years ago. Thank you a lot for these brilliant tips!
As a graduate student currently on leave, I find myself reflecting on what I can improve on from my previous year. I can definitely say that my study techniques were very ineffective last year and coming across your video has really confirmed that for me and how I can get better. I was very nervous and fearful to return to graduate school next Fall, but your guidance has helped alleviate some of my fears and motivated me to want to go back to school and improve myself. This is a really helpful video. And to anyone out there who thinks they don’t have what it takes to complete their goals, please know that you do have what it takes and there are people in the world who want you to succeed. These brothers are living proof of that. Thank you so much for your videos. I am more confident in myself and I look forward to implementing these techniques. It can be uncomfortable for me to try something new but I rather try versus staying where I am.
This was so useful! I’m really struggling with my chemistry classes right now and really needed these tips
I have watched a lot of active recall videos but this was FAR superior, you explained it concisely and quickly with practical application. You need more subs
Means a lot thank you 🙏
I am so happy that this video popped up 😍 i needed to find a way to go through everything without just rereading it or making new notes, but since i already studied all of my ankis i didn‘t have any questions left to do besides repeating it! So making questions and answering them seems like the way to go! Thank you for the tips 🥰 i hope i can find a good way to study for my next semester in medschool 😅
I am applying active recall since one months!
My active recall method:
1. I read the book and write topic and conceptual question ❓
2.Next revise time I take my topic copy and think about and solve question!
Doing it and doing it well 👌🏼
been struggling with active recall for a long time so this is very helpful, , thankyouuu !
i spent one hour studying this video and every single word you said. Thanks man.
On October 9th 2021 this vid has only 266k views, I can’t imagine how many students are missing out on this gem. Thank you for making this vid! I hope I can embed this in my routine🙌🏽💪🏽🤩
Hey Mike. I love your videos. They have helped me on my self-study computer science journey and will be using the information in them to be more effective in my studying throughout college. Could you recommend me a book which has been most impactful for you? Thank you.
I Enjoyed so much this video. Thanks for the help, Mike and Matty! Continue doing awesome vids
You cannot imagine how much your videos benefit me, and the way you present and organize the information is so wonderful. Thank you very much
Thank you! Your support means a lot.
It's incredible to hear that our videos are helping people, and comments like yours keeps us motivated to do even better. Stay awesome!
I like the way, how u directly jumped in to talk abt the methods with out any delay...
This video is recommended by one of my teachers!!!😁
I am grateful for him as well as you !!!🙏😁❤️
I was already doing active recall without even knowing it was it. I was just doing what worked for me, re-reading has never worked for me for a long period. I used to re-read only for the subjects I didn't really care like history and geography 😂, the night before the test at 11pm. we all can relate😭
Thank you Mike and Matty to bring some new ways of learning to the world, that's amazing!
samee
Fantastic! Thank you so much for this video and for you helping us!
I have been searching methods of active recall for an entire month but this has by far been the most helpful video. Thank you so much ❤️. I immediately subscribed ❣️
Welcome to the fam :)
I've been taking and failing my ATI exams, just barely, and I think it might be my lack of active recall. I'm going to try these out and hope it gets me the final push I need. ^^ Thanks, and wish me luck!
these videos are hella helpful and motivational aswell, love for this bro keep up the good work
Awesome video. Always wanted some detailed actionable steps on how to do active recall.
everything is top notch. thanks a lot. just keep a subtle smile when your talking. will improve things even further.
I really really appreciate this video. Its so informative and I'm so glad to have found this video. Thankyou.
Underrated! This is so helpful, THANK YOU
So grateful for your content. Much appreciated.
And here I thought I was the only crazy one when I'm teaching my stuffed toys and pretending they're my students so i could review haha 😂
justification for buying more stuffed animals
I try to teach my cats.. it never ends well, so I print out random human faces teaching them.. .-.
My mom look me funny when im teaching my fox stuff toy😂
I subscribed because of this. You have no idea how helpful this was.
Thanks for these tips! Going to apply them now as I study for the Philippine bar exam.
Wonderful video with lots of useful strategies for active recall. Thx for sharing.
Excellent video. Plenty of ways to implement active recall. Great job M&M
I'll start my very first medical classes next week. Honestly, i am anxious because i don't know what it is like to study so many complicated subjects and memorize a lot of information in a short period of time, and your videos somehow transformed that "too much anxiety" into "can't wait to try these out!'
ps; i smiled when i saw midoriya at the end
That kind of attitude is gonna get you very far in medicine. So glad you found us, good luck and have fun!
hey im new here, honestly lovEEE the way you explain things, gonna watch more of your videos later on! keep up making great contents!
Glad you found us! What do you study?
This is the video I was looking for. 10/10
Wow thanks for the 10s 💯
Thank you so much for making this video.
I only knew flashcards, this video has so many different and useful tips!
My grades improved drastically after using this, thank youuu
Flashcards are def our fave, but there are lots of ways for different students
I enjoyed doing stop and recite. It worked for me
Such a nice video. Straight to the point, no fluff.
Thanks for watching man
This video is so informative, thank you!
Already used the stop and recite method for this video. Now I know all my 12 steps. 🎉
Very informative and useful. For me the Feynman Tech is the best, since you can do it just after reading books. Also is faster, you don't have to do flashcards or to write notes.
always I feel motivated while i watching your vidio.
Thanks a lot it's helpful.👍👍👍
Very helpful!! Thank you
Thanks for this all stuff, it's very useful, thanks for your hard work, the must have will be having these methodes integrate in remnote directly, using space repetition with toogle, mindmap in remnote,...
Waiting for this from a long time. Thank you very much and explaining with step by step
Glad it’s helpful !
"You're going to get many of these questions wrong and that's OK." This is the only thing I need to hear to calm myself. I feel like I've been obsessed on getting perfect scores. It's so hard adjusting from Highschool to Freshman 😩
It's so comforting being as much as I'm used to high grades It's like saying failure is a stretch but always a possibility
Medical students seem to have it good when it comes to active recall, very standardised curriculums, lots of peer created resources. Other STEM topics don't seem to have this as much.
My Hero multiple choice questions tho! Just started my nursing program and this video was helpful.
Hey Mike and Marty. I’m currently going through Nursing school at the moment and I’m starting to utilize your techniques through your videos (Love the lofi vs binaural). Just wanted to say the way you guys speak and your presentation style is amazing. You guys hit base with Nintendo fans who are just trying to get through school. Thank you for all you do and most of all THANKS FOR REMNOTE!
Hey thanks for the kind words, will always do our best to help. And thanks for dedicating your time to helping others, we need more good nurses!
Great video guys I needed this honestly most you tubers just tell us how it good but not how to use it🤔 so thanks allot☺️☺️☺️😍🤩
Haha just thought we would break it down for you since you already know this stuff
this is so useful, thanks a lot. Just subscribed :)
this is great, thank you so much!
definitely gonna watch all your videos =))
thank you so much i will definitely use them
Thank you!!🙏🙏🙏
I feel like the hardest part of studying is not knowing where to start, I know so many study methods but not how to put these methods into a routine that fits me and my schedule.
Thanks guys, you're brilliant:) Starting uni this month and have a feeling you will be a big help!
Best of luck!
Thank you so much!!!!
thank you so much❤
I am loving all the memes! keep it coming~
Even now… as a doctor 🥺 beautiful to watch the journey 🎉
thank you very much for this
Appreciate your effort 💕
So helpful as always !
The real question here is how do you make these videos so engaging??? I’m not even that interested in what your talking about but here I am watching your vids
they take long for me to make but way more effective. Thank you. I take summer spanish and bc of active recall im becoming fluent in spanish. gracias, y todo ustedes mira el video:).
Amazing and such a useful skill to be multi lingual 💯
I loved this video!!
It really helps!
Thanks ❤
Appreciate It Champ💪🏻
this was a very simple & short explanation nice
What a awesome content. thank you. really.
amazing video keep up the good work!!
Thank you! I love you for making this video. Such a DILF!!
Thanks for your video I feel sick as I now have to re sit biology exams for radiography degree. I just can't remember at all. I have been studying respiration for weeks information is not sticking. I will try this. I pray it helps me.
Such a succinct yet thorough introduction to effective studying techniques. This is definitely one of your guys' best videos! Been sharing it with my friends. Thanks again!
wow I can't thank you enough, that helps out tremendously!
Thanks for this!! Starting my Mathematics Bachelor this fall🤞🏿
good luck 👍🏼happy to help on the way
Great!!!! I'm able to correct all My Hero Academia MCQ problem set.
Great content. 🙌
Im glad im still a student when i find this vid 😂😂
Glad you found us!
If you aren't a student throughout your life, you're doing something wrong.
Great video! Why is this information on how to effectively learn not part of the mandatory curriculum for students starting from Middle School? Unfortunately the only study advice we are ever given is to
1. Take notes in class
2. Read the textbook and highlight the important areas
3.. Study as much as possible.
The problem you encounter when you take the test is either you did not truly understand the material or you did not study the areas on the test.
Cal Newport book called Deep Learning highlighted the importance of active and not passive learning to be successful in school.
Thanks a lot ❤️
i'm glad youtube has recommended me this video
active recall is amazingg! imo I like blurting and teaching best for spaced repetition
Congratulations and thank you so much by this very comprehensive video.
glad it was helpful
I actually used active recall in my med school years. Great video
Was a smart kid during my school thanks to all these techniques I used without even noticing, now in my bachelor's watching this video going, yeah I used to do this as a kid maybe that's why I learned better then.
THIS VIDEO IS SOO GOOD, THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS LIVE HACK
Saving this for when I start law school next year
I personally prefer remnote to anki. So much easier to use and there are more tutorials for it online. I'm using it when i get back to school in september so I can start active recall from day 1, I'm training myself for med school. Plus I always found rewriting especially paper notes quite useless and time-wasting for me. I don't know about others though. So glad I found this channel!
Yeee that’s how we did it in med school too. Welcome to the fam :)
Here at 104k. Keeping proof so that I'm an OG when this channel blows up like crazy.
You a real one
When an example question in 10:19 is referencing your favorite anime show. Subscribed! 🤣
Welcome to the fam!
thank u for this :D
