    Watched a TED Talk by Douglas Barton recently about what top students do differently in order to get good grades. He conducted studies in which he investigated the influencing factors of successful students and found out that the one thing all top students had in common was doing practice exams before the real exam.
    They also wrote their timetable differently: While mediocre and bad students put in first when they are gonna study, the top students put in when they're NOT gonna study. They modeled the studying around their lives, not the other way around.
    Hope this helps!

      I’m definitely an outlier. I was a top student and I didn’t waste my time doing too many practice exams. I’d maybe take 1 practice exams but spent my time doing Feynman (albeit I had no idea that’s what it was called), understanding, and teaching the topics. I think this is why I still remember a lot of med school topics 10 years later while most of my colleagues, even the top tier ones, have forgotten everything.

      ​@@TInyK12I was a topper in my school. What helped me during my exams was I never wrote long notes. I would always listen to teachers with focus and noted down everyting in summary.
      Sometimes just wrote some keywords or summarized 1 paragraph in just 1 line.
      When exam came I didn't have to study long notes and my notes wers very simple and easy to understand and memorise.

    you're doing this so you can enjoy your life later.
    you could even be doing this in hopes of going to university and partying the heck out of a Friday night.
    you'll get there
    you can do it.

    fix your posture,
    unclench your jaw,
    relax your muscles,
    breath in,

    1. Eat the frog. First thing in the morning. The most challenging topics. Focus on my weakest points or the most difficult ones. 80/20%.
    2. The Pomodoro Technique. Which involves 25 minutes of work time and intensive study followed by 5 minutes of a break and this is repeated. An article on MIT says, study for 50 mins. and take a break of 10 mins. If I find something very mentally taxing, then, setting a shorter duration and doing a short burst of intense work, often works better for me.
    3. Aim for understanding first then memorization.
    4. The Feynman Technique. Which is teaching the topic or concept to somebody in a simple and clear way. If you are on your own and you don't have anyone else with you you can just try explaining it out loud as if there were another person.
    5. Practice Testing. Try to take information out of your brain by actively recalling it. (Flashcards).
    6. Spaced Repetition. How you can beat the forgetting curve. We forget pieces of knowledge unless we revise that.
    7. Leveraging Some Memorization Techniques. Mnemonics. Mind maps. Include a photo or maybe something that reminds me of a story that's related to that piece of vocab or that sentence. ***.
    8. Make a Study Schedule and Track your Progress. Get your brain feel ready to learn.
    9. Keep reassessing how it's going and adjust what's not working. Look after your self. Self-care. Exercise, eat well, sleep. Take care of your well-being. Study smarter not harder. 😎

    Congratulations on having now graduated! I can confirm that all of the techniques you mention worked super well for me. I've always been lucky to succeed fairly effortlessly in my studies and I now realize that it's mostly thanks to the methods I've been using. The only thing I would add to this list is: if you can, pair up with someone who learns differently than you, and collaborate. I've always been very good at understanding what was being taught orally in class but that came at the cost of my notes, which were always very concise. Pairing up with someone who liked taking comprehensive notes allowed me to get solid written material, based on which I could explain to them the subject in return. It was always a win-win as we would both get better grades than if we had been studying on our own.

    I really like the Feynman technique personally. I do believe that I understand topics more when I try to teach them to someone who doesn't have the same level of understanding of a certain topic than I do!! Because of this, you can't use ANY terminology(because they won't understand what you're talking about). Not using jargon also helps you out as well, because most of the time when people overly use terms, it's because they don't know what the fuck they're talking about(let's be real). ALSO, THE ABSOLUTE BEST ADDITION TO TEACHING SOMEONE, IS TO ACT AS THOUGH YOU'RE TEACHING A YOUNG CHILD!! KIDS ARE CURIOUS AND THE ALWAYS ASK THE QUESTION "WHY?"; and you don't stop until you can fill in all the gaps within your understanding. If you can't answer all the question, go back and study until you are able to answer them all. When you can answers these questions then you truly UNDERSTAND the material. Also, if you study to understand and NOT memorize, you'll remember the information longer (aka- store it in your long-term memory)THE RESULTS ARE INCREDIBLE!!

    • @kori9779
      @kori9779 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The flipside is that it's so time-spending that it isn't worth it to explain literally for a child, but maybe for someone who has the necessary pre-requisites but is new to to the topic. And you should use it for things that you struggle with the most.

  • @08wolfeyes
    @08wolfeyes ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Something which i've learned which is somewhat related to something you mentioned about understanding is to listen fully when in a lecture, without taking notes, so that you are completely focused on what's being said.
    After the lecture write down what you learned and understood as well as anything else you remember.
    That way you are more likely to remember that knowledge as well as grasp a better understanding of it.
    People who colour in sentences or paragraphs in a book are simply teaching themselves words to remember for a test and not the meaning behind those things and so it will be more difficult in the long run to be able to understand the subject fully.
    It's more important to learn how to think than what to think.

Now I'm studying chinese language, besides my native language I can speak english and italian. I also studied a little bit korean but I think chinese is more better in terms of opportunities. I wake up early in the morning and I study chinese for about 30 minutes before starting work. Your videos are awesome, and I'm applying your techniques.
    Studying harder is very bad, I was good at mathematics and physics, and also after 3 years I can remember most of the topics. I studied about 3 hours per day.
    Chinese is very difficult but it is possible to learn it, I don't expect myself to be fluent but to achieve after six month a progress.

    Thank you for those great advices. They work for every situation when we need to memorize information, work an a particular subject, etc. We all need to entertain our brain to keep information in our memory and have intellectual activities to keep our brain in good health. As old european people would say : mens sana in corpore sano.
    It's a difficult subject to grasp but you make it easy to understand. Thank you for all the kindness, simplicity and efficiency that you put into your videos 👩‍🎓👏

    Your synopsis on how to approach studies is fantastic, I personally completed my Postgraduate Legal Practice Certificate through the University of Staffordshire & in doing so i discovered it most beneficial to you exactly as you said with regard to searching-online & reading Mock questions & answers. It really did allow the mind to feel at peace knowing the information was in a comprehensive almost formatted answer ( with an abundance of additional information, usually with an asterisk attached to elad you to another page) it was far better than reading so many textbooks and trying to memorized the chapter, to the page to the paragraph to the exact popular topic & attempt to recall all that in an exam. Both methods did help me but for sure online resources and structured answered they were far easier to remember and use in emergencies or at least call upon to as you said trigger the brain process. Listening to this reminded me of how much i enjoyed the journey of my studies , I just completed my studies & right now my full time job is interviewing for a position as an Attorney. You sure have a lovely relaxed and really controlled approach & energy to explaining and coordinating how you approached your studies.. Congratulations on your success. i wil be sure to view more videos , very Nostalgic for me!

Your language proficiency and speech is excellent Izzy in a lovely British way. I want to see more videos of you Izzy

    About practice testing. I think when you do it this is what happens: you challenge your understanding of the subject and this leads to a deeper understanding because you start asking different questions and integrate information together

    Hi there Izzy! This video literally helped me out SO much & I was kinda surprised to realise that I already use some of these techniques in my studies. Although I'm just an 8th standard student, but the studies are still hard to tackle with but I guess now, I'll be able to get through it in a much better way, thanks to you. I love the way you share your experiences & such informative topics with us.Especially, the way you make your videos engaging & interesting, love it. Btw, sorry it's kinda off-topic but, your features seem a little like Korean. Are you related to that in any way because I felt that you look like Korean somewhere so...
    Hope you answer my Q.
    Keep making such lovely videos!❤
    Thank you!❤

    @faithlesshound5621 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    About the "understanding first, then memorization" thing, it's important to realise that even a wrong theory can give you a framework on which to hang the facts and more easily remember them.
    William Cullen, one of the 18th century forerunners of modern medicine, used to advise his students to use one of the existing classifications, even if they knew they were not correct, as a way to pull together their knowledge of the facts.
    That's not unlike the use of mnemonics, which are sometimes nonsensical yet still memorable, e.g. "Few Boys Eat Apples During Games" in music or "vibgyor" for the light spectrum.

    Hello, I am a medical student as well and what is difficult for me is the revision stage, that which gets me bored and consumes rather a time than it should. The first stage of making understand about topics is quite fun and interesting but it is hard to keep that momentum in revision.

    Izzy thanks for sharing your journey with us. Learning how to learn is so underrated and mostly not taught at all in most public school systems here in the US which is why many students end up giving up or never really gain a full understanding of academic subjects as they move from k thru 12. Would it be too much to ask which Specific Anki app or software do you use in particular, there are a few of them in the iOS App Store.

  • @davidr4523
    @davidr4523 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Several other items I would add to that
    1. Listen to TH-cam videos or class lectures during transition time. Getting from point A to B, doing errands, working out, etc. Since how much can you listen to music? You will be shocked at how many hours you spend each day in transition time.
    2. Also during transition, in your mind try to test yourself on concepts and remember acronyms.
    3. Get a tutor.
    4. Set a study schedule for yourself as to what you plan on studying and for how long. To say I am going to the library all day to study is highly unproductive.
    5. To push yourself to be productive while you study have a fun activity or workout planned that evening.
    6. Predict the questions that are going to be on the exam and focus on learning that material. Look at past test, ask students who have taken the class before and meet with the professor.
    7. Izzy covered this topic but as Cal Newport said in his book Deep Learning. Actively learn the material as if you are going to teach it to someone else. Then actually teach the material to someone. You will be shocked at how many gaps you have in your material.
