@@KhaledRx thanks for the cool offer! Unfortunately TH-cam took away the ability for people to contribute captions :(
can you tell me in how many days i should repeat my content .... like today tomorrow 3 days later 7 days later 14days later like that ??
MORE EFFORT = MORE RETENTION
Quizzing (Active recall)
- testing yourself
- use flashcards to quiz yourself
Spacing (Spaced repetition)
- spread out your studying over time
- space out your study time
- review again before you forget it to improve your forgetting curve
Mixing (Interleaving)
- understand the connection of different ideas
- switch different subjects
- 50mins on, 10mins off
thanks for the concise notes :)
cheers mate
That’s what I call Synthesis Power. Completely love it. Thanks! 😆
Can someone please help me with understanding.. I didn't understand how often I should change the subject I'm learning - is it every session of 50 min I should switch to something else or? That seems weird to me so please if someone can clarify
@@maca_ker same pls help
Studying smarter is so high-key. I've found that with something as content-heavy as medicine if I weren't studying smart all these years would have felt near enough impossible and definitely would not have freed up time for other projects! Thanks for sharing Mike, this is gonna be useful to a lot of people! 😎
We appreciate your support as always! Yea our goal is to aid all those who have many more years of school to go haha, hopefully this gm video finds them
How do I study smart? I'm doing medicine and it's a bit much to be honest trying to learn everything
@@actionman4593 active recall and spaced repetition
What methods did you use Yath?
Can we just appreciate the fact that he likes and replies to almost every comment despite his busy productive day?
Thanks man, sometimes we are slow when we are both working but try to cover them all 😇
I’m literally crying from overwhelm and only on the second week of the semester!
Thank you science and thank you for this video
hang in there! we’ll keep the motivation coming

I truly appreciate your taking the time to put this video together. Thank you also for including the papers from the studies.
I can't believe you don't have more subscribers -- this channel is fantastic. I love your studying tips, but I love even more that you share your thoughts about not getting caught up in perfectionist culture, reflecting on what really matters, having a happy life now and not just when you reach some educational goal. Keep up the excellent work. I'm going to share your channel with my kids (two in HS & two in college) and others. Also, RemNote has such great potential, and I can't wait to see how it develops over time. My kids and I are putting all of their encyclopedic "Marvel" knowledge into RemNote for a fun way to learn its many features.
Recently started going through your content and I can't appreciate this enough. This was so helpful, thank you!
This is the best video on studying and learning I have ever seen. I am having my son get a remnote account and I am buying him those two books. I was fascinated throughout the entire 13 minutes. Thank you Mike and Matty.
These are the things we wish we had when we were younger, so it means a lot hearing that you are encouraging your son positively in this way :)
OMG!! This was a eye-opener, amazing tips!! I'm so happy I found your channel!!! THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤
I appreciate this channel everyday! These literally helped me recall so much information on my exam yesterday!
Awesome, so happy you are doing well and keep it up!
Thank you so much for this! I am so glad I came across this video! Again thank you for the tips and RemNote
The feynman technique having a whole subject together actually helps me to visualize where on the page which information was
Just subscribed :) I can tell that you are genuine and straight to the point! Love it!
and thank you so much for sharing great study tips!
Love your study tips Mike and Matty!
Thank you so much for making RemNote! Your content is superb! Subscribed and liked 🙂
Solid tips! Having backed up research really shows that these tips WORK. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for appreciating the science :)
Informative info, great presentation. Showing the sources was appreciated and made the content mature. Good one!
We really enjoy the science behind learning. Glad you enjoyed it!
I like the way you jump straight to the point without dragging too long. Great content!
we try our best 😎
This is so amazing It can be challenging to keep going with our own creative pursuits, but this is definitely an inspiration for my music.
Wait. Just want to say how i love your videos. thank you doc for taking your time in simplifying things for people. Learning so much from you.
This is exactly how I studied for biology and other subjects. I made a little question catalog with what I assumed would come to the test and just filled out stuff I already knew. And the stuff I didn't know, I would just look for the answer in my notes and write it, because afterwards I would question myself again anyways by covering the answers with a piece of paper. This way I memorize some stuff before I even beginn studying
I just want to say I learned so much from your channel. Thank you very much.
Thank you so much for giving all of this for free💕
This is amazing. Glad to have found your vids!!
so are we! good luck with your studies
This video is pure gold, thank you so much 😄😄😄
Dude, I love you. This was very very helpful. I now have the motivation to do it all, because I know I'm doing it smart and I have the tools.
The first tip is definitely a great supplement to scott young’s ultralearning “retention” and “retrieval” principles.
Thank you, Mike! Good luck on all of your endeavors!
Thanks for watching! Wishing you the best too my friend. P.S. Definitely check out the rest of the series if you haven't already ;) bit.ly/MikeandMattyStudy
Thank you so much Matt and Mike your techniques helped me to passed our licensure exam for Geodetic Engineer last 2021. Keep sharing your tips..it helps. More blessings and God bless❤
AAA thank u kuya mike for the infos!!! i super love the art in ur video! 💜
This is great! Thank you bro 🇺🇸
Always lookin forward to new insight from you guys. Best take away for me from this video was to test yourself just as you're about to forget that piece of information for maximum retention.
Thanks man, gotta help you get those dental goals ya know
Your videos are such a blessing. There are many other videos on this topic but to me they just kinda drag on and don't present the points perfectly. So thank you very much for this.
I have one question. Who is the artist that illustrates in your videos? Love the artstyle
This is a great summary of how to study smarter--thank you! I'm saving this to revisit after I start nursing school this fall!
good luck with your studies!!
I'm loving what I'm watching, Subscribed
Welcome to the family
Waooo! Thanks alot your video come just at the right time 👏👊
great content, looking forward to viewing more study tactics. I struggle with language learning. After a few years, I actually believe its a mindset problem.
Mindset is definitely a huuge factor in learning. We associate positive emotions better with memory
I am so glad I found your channel. You are a legend, my man!
Glad to have you here, and thanks for watching! Definitely check out the rest of the series if you haven’t already :) : bit.ly/MikeandMattyStudy
thank you for this!
Remnote is literally the most amazing thing I've ever discovered. It's like Anki on Steroids and have saved me hours and hours time and maximised my efficiency. This is honesty a game changer. Remnote is the future
loved hearing this thank you!
I 100% agree. I was always so overwhelmed with typing notes but then having to spend forever making anki cards. I love how remnote combines the two and makes my study sessions SO MUCH SHORTER
@@sandydossantos441 please what are remnotes???🙏
@@CajunKoiAcademy please what are remnotes 🙏??
@@chisomnwokediuko i wanna know that too😭
Many thanks for RemNote and many more for your content!
Glad you found us 💪🏽
Thank you so much ❤️
very well explained 😍
First time coming across your video, instant sub. I'm a med student from Indonesia, almost finished my education and becoming a doctor, but i'm quite ashamed to say that still feel like i don't know the right way to study after all these years. I feel like compared to my friends i study the longest yet retain the least information. I'm going to try finding a better way to study, i just hope it's not too late
Never too late my friend, we docs are life long learners. Welcome to the fam
Thank u this was helpful
thank you sir for these amazing strategies they really work and it is very helpful
Quality content, I didn't know that you were the co founder of remnote. Amazing !
Just something that might have been missed. On 8:21 there is a typo for "peek", just wanted to let you know
Wow how embarrassing thanks for catching that! And great to hear that you love Remnote, let us know anytime if there’s any feedback you have
i feel that that the interleaving technique can be better elaborated upon. imo interleaving is best used if the subject ties in together with a common concept, for example medicine and psychology are well interlinked (pun intended). but if its something like medicine and coding, then there's very little linkage between those 2 topics and one should only try to focus on a single topic at hand rather than jumping back and forth. in many parts of the world it has become common practice to take a core major (eg. medicine) and also a completely unrelated minor (eg. design) hence the suggestion :) cheers!
Love it!!
Helpful tips for preapring for my NCLEX RN. Thanks 🙂
You motivated me a hell lot😭❤
I've subscribed to your Chanel :D. really love your videos. So helpful and informative! I just wished I knew this sooner :). I'm learning another language right now and I don't feel like I've made big progress and it's because I only re-reading and re-write all of my study material. Thank you! :D
Thank you so much for posting
You got it! How did you find us?
_I hope some channels address studying techniques for engineering students, because flash cards don't often apply to us. We have terms and concepts but more than half the time, we are solving problems and combining Science and Math together like a perfect balance, unlike medicine programs that heavily focus on Science. Also, spaced repetition is really hard for many of us, since if we divided a number of hours into 7 days, and then use the Pomodoro technique which is 25 mins study - 5 mins rest, we're unlikely to understand what we're studying because solving problems and testing ourselves don't just take 30 minutes. Sometimes we spend hours on a certain problem._
Wow you guys are super growing and fast! I love it! I need to get my momentum back. Hope you're all still following! Love the video btw! Super informative!
Thanks! It’s just a matter of staying consistent. Yes we are still connected have heard from you in a few months it’s all good that’s life :)
@@CajunKoiAcademy Yes, I am moving to Hawaii so I've been distracted lol but yes you're right! I'm gonna get my ish together. 🤣I'll be back shortly! Thanx for staying!
Wow I can't wait to watch future videos in this series! 😆
Hey good to see you again! :)
@@CajunKoiAcademy good to see you guys again too hehe it's been a while 😊
I’ve watched this video several times as a reminder yet EVERY time the 1 minute study example pisses me off! AINT NOBODY GETTING A GOOD SCORE STUDYING FOR 7 MINUTES! 🙆🏻♀️
😂
Lol true😂
Woooooww...this is amazing..thank you so much.. content, quality 👌
So glad it was helpful :)
Great video👍
Excellent content, spectacular clarity. Being able to quizz myself 3 times on the one read-through would assume that I was really interested in the topic, fully engaged and had already some familiarity. I am considering jumping into anatomy and phisiology of the blood and lymph systems (as prep for lymph massage) but the domain is totally out of my expertese. I guess it would then be advisable to at least plough through the materials once to create some hooks, some familiarity BEFORE I actually try to learn the stuff. Right? I can't imagine testing myself after one read.
This is the first video I watched on your channel and it made me subcribe. I like how you make the contents free for poor students.
This is awesome! I'm so bummed to have only discovered this today. :(
We are still a very young channel as well, but please join us! Definitely check out the rest of the series: bit.ly/MikeandMattyStudy
@@CajunKoiAcademy I've already signed up, subscribed and watched most of your videos. Is it okay to register using my university email? Anyway, more power to you, guys!
@@upsetplatelet wow so grateful to have you in this community. Of course you can use any email, more power to you man 👊🏽
Thanks for Mike and Matty，I really like the Remnote！It's so useful to me！How often will the software be charged or subscribed？
Great content bro!
glad it was helpful ✌🏼
Your videos are useful to implement improvement journalism
great, thanks!
Thank you for all of this. I'm suspecting myself of ADHD because I have very little interest in studying and focusing on it is a problem (and also because I have other symptoms indicative of ADHD). With this method, I hope to achieve a better suited way to study and stop avoiding it just because I hate it so much. Thank you for making this free and available to us all!
Amazing, keep us updated!
@@CajunKoiAcademy will do! :D and thank you for the heart! :D
Oh gosh, I forgot to update, sorry about that! :o
I think it's a good and useful website but it does need some improvements here and there, especially in the text area. Some functions just aren't working as desired or are just not very well explained. I did manage to fiddle around enough to have it work in an ok way but it still wasn't exactly what I wanted or was looking for.
I do recommend this website for memory because it can help but the lack of colour usage and the way colour is implemented id on the lacking side.
Overall, good enough for those who aren't looking to remember/learn a whole bunch of stuff.
Ive been an honor student for a long time by just pushing it through brute force, but I recently found my work unbearable and too much and I recently found out that im studying the wrong way and im really great full for these videos.
Really though you have saved me a lot
Great vid i struggle with how to learn hope u do more vids on this thanks
Many more videos on learning coming, be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss them!
Nice to hear that you are remnote co-founder, though I was hearing from discord chat group.
I watch you, this is my best luck.
I am waiting for desktop app.... That's moment is very happy... Not word to express my happiness
Thank you for the support :)
Amazing content
Cheers from Brazil, my friend.
I work as a computer programmer and I'm always studying. I remember my years in University and I'd use hand-taken notes and try to recall them re-writing on papers like I was teaching (I liked to study in the library so I couldn't speak or make noise). For some lectures I tried a flashcards app, and worked fine too.
Nowadays I use Teaching Back and Flashcards Softwares.
The problem with flashcards, at least for me, is that it's hard to pick episodic things, so I need to write on a paper like a diagram of events. But the good part is that for things I use flashcards, I don't take many notes (I only write a fluxogram). I scan what'll read and during the study session I go and write questions. When reviewing I can go back to the book and create more cards.
Teaching Back is incredible but the problem is that it takes
too long reviewing. I use Onenote to take notes and I see the page title and start explaining with words or even typing.
I'd like to see a video of you having real studying sessions with different methods. Starting to check a new material and reviewing.
Congrats for your channel! You're great.
Wow thanks for sharing your workflow, it’s so helpful to see how other people learn and always interesting to me. I think you have a good idea for a new video. Have you seen this one we made? It describes the new content learning very similar to what you mentioned: th-cam.com/video/ypwg8tkDoFk/w-d-xo.html
@@CajunKoiAcademy I'll check it right now! Thanks!
thank you guyyyys for your work!
it helps me so much as I am working toward my master of engineering in Paris.
big bisous, love RemNote ❤️
That’s awesome and thanks so much for watching! P.S. we are viet as well so viet pride from California! :)
@@CajunKoiAcademy really?! I started to wonder when Matty mentioned 'ruot' in a previous video but wasn't sure because we call it 'chà bông' in my family haha
so glad I found my way to your channel
wish you the best for the future :D
Haha we have cousins in France who call it cha bong too! So glad you found us and hope to see you around ;)
my favorite video on studying
I’m returning to college to study BioMedicine! Thank you for sharing and making education accessible 👩🏻🔬🤍
Thank you, this will really help as I just failed my science test because I have no clue how to study for science. I want to study medicine when I get into year 11 and I've just thankful that I failed in year 8 than later on.
Hi! I'm glad I found your video. What you said here makes a lot of sense and I want to try them. I hope you will see and respond to my comment/question. I'm studying for the Bar which is 6 months from now. The Bar where I'm from is is an 8-subject, all-essay exam. What I have been doing, which is different from the usual tips I get for studying (that is mostly heavy memorization, which I am terrible at), is that I see to it that I underasand the concepts and memorize the key words that help me remember them. One of the tips I am told, in terms of strategy for better recall, is to study one subject at a time (which means 1 thick book of say criminal law reviewer) then shift to the next subject when I am done, which, watching your video, seems to me, is totally not mixing/interleaving. I have doubts about this method even before I saw your video so what I have been doing studying all 8 subjects daily (1 hour each) which is xlose to what you say is mixing but closer to what you referred to also as multi-tasking.
I am really weak at memorizing that's why I prefer to study all my 8 subjects on a daiky basis so I won't forget them easily. May I know your thoughts about this. Thanks!
Hi so glad to connect, yes I’m with you on studying the multiple topics way, it can help you relate info between the topics and help you understand/compare/contrast which can be helpful if you test covers all the topics at once. I made a video with more detail here: th-cam.com/video/SnBEptVeqek/w-d-xo.html
Good luck and thanks for all you do :)
Thanks!
Hey guys, i just wanted to say thank you for the great conten!
For my reminding
1. Quiz > read
2. Review for not forget
3. Mixed idea ( more topics )
Nice guys
Best of luck
Loving it 😍😍
Thanks for watching man
Loved this video & this channel! Thank you! I start medical school next Fall & I like to download the powerpoint & hand write notes during class, does RemNote also work for this method?
RemNote doesn’t handle PDF yet but we are currently building it so hopefully soon!
danggg this channel always produces quality content.
Thanks man all for you ;)
I also love how studying works with everyday jobs and careers to do with them, u are a blessing God bless vro
Thank you.
I can watch this video 7 times today or I can watch it 1 time the next 7 days......great video tough. Thank you
Thank you!! Medical school is challenging enough without adding how to study...
You got this! 🙌
Thank you so much guys for RemNote. You guys are Heroes of our time!
Best compliment ever haha on our way to becoming an anime 😅
omg I love this channel 😍
hi! did you just find us? Oh I see you found our take no notes video :)
Medicine students are built different! I just had my final exams and now having a summer break. I'm just cleaning the house and listening to your input which is going to make a huge difference for my future learning process! I usually avoid videos like this because I'm immediately feeling bad and guilty, knowing I'm supposed to study at that moment so now is the perfect time :D
Love the video's you guys make. I have a question about RemNote and the flashcards. As I see now the only option is to make flashcards of which the second side is hidden. Is there also an option for instance to blur out words from sentences. Or give the answers but then you have to match the question. Or simply type in the answer instead of having to call it out loud (or in my head). Or make a multiple choice answer to a question. Basically more a of quiz kind of way to learn.
Hey thanks for the support! You can make cloze cards (find it in keyboard shortcuts) and you can also make image occlusion cards (simply insert any image you want to study and click on the image to make a card) . You can also make free text cards, but we don’t yet have multiple choice. You can however make multiple line answers, and if you type ::1. You can make a multiple line answer card that reveals each answer in chronological order
where has this channel been my in my whole school life?? If i had someone tell me this in school i probably wouldn't have given up on trying to study. It honestly makes me feel depressed thinking I'm gonna be a failure my whole life . Like my issue was that i didn't actually know HOW to study . so thank you!!! and BLESS YOU GUYS !!
love your thoughts here. Learning never ends, even after school is over :)
Mike and matty great video you guys are saving a lot of students from failing grade but I have a question when doing active recall on 8 different courses that contains 6 to 7 different topics each, how best can I spaced repetition each topic on each courses also am I going to set questions on all the topics from each courses and then revisit those topic at different interval eg physic topic 1 today next day chem topic 1 next day bio topic 1,next physic topic 1 and 2 etc.
Thanks for sharing new suporter here
So glad you found our channel, Definitely check out the rest of the series if you enjoyed his video! : bit.ly/MikeandMattyStudy
Can I just say that Remnote actually saved me this year in school
This should have more viewssss
Hi, I love your videos! I’m not all the way through this video or the ones I have queued yet, so I may delete this comment if I find my question answered, but:
Do you have any tips or a video dedicated to language learning specifically? I’m able to recognize vocab and grammar when reading, but really struggling to recall when generating (mostly speaking, but also writing).
Or maybe, the tips in all your learning videos also apply to language learning?
Thanks so much! I look forward to your insight.
I wish I watched your videos BEFORE I took my local physician licensure exams :( At least it's not too late to watch these before my USMLE prep! Thank you!!
It’s never too late, you will always be learning even after the testing is done :)
Where are you studying?
@@CajunKoiAcademy Thank you for your encouraging words doctors! And that's so true, I never even looked at it that way - that learning does go on beyond the exams in med school.
I'm based in Manila, Philippines :) AND I JUST PASSED MY LOCAL BOARDS!! We've been staying up for nearly 9 days waiting for the results ;A; ;A;
