This video helps me a lot.. I plan to contribute by adding a translation in my own languange, bahasa indonesia.when I soon have a free time to do so. But even though it is accesible, I want to ask your permission. Am I allowed to put sub of another languange? Thanks
I found your channel two years ago and applied the study techniques you explained. During the summer I graduated from university with a masters in engineering receiving first class honours. I wanted to thank you for making this information easily accessible in one place. To anyone reading this, these techniques work and I highly recommend you integrate them into your learning.
*Active Learning:* 1. Identify 2. Organize 3. Memorize 4. Apply *Environment:* 1. Location 2. Group vs. Solo (Groups need to be small.) 3. Routine vs Novel Stimuli 4. Timing (Pomodoro Technique is effective) 5. Obtaining Information *Options in approving methods* 1. Writing vs Typing (Writing improves recall.) 2. Lecture vs. Podcast 3. Rewatching Lectures is a waste of time. 4. Textbooks (Summarize what you read into your own words.) Memorization ending.
Something I do that really helps me is that I help tutor my friend who struggles in some classes, and teaching someone else actually helps me remember and learn the material I have.
As a student of straight A+’s I’d like to share some studying tips that has worked for me: 1- Take the right methods of studying that WORKS BEST for you! For example: the things that have been mentioned on this video DON’T necessarily mean that it should work for you too. Take what works for you and you’ll reach that level of confidence of your work. 2- prioritize the hard subjects for studying . If you think that you want to put much time on math for example because math’s professor is a hard nut or the subject itself is a little bit harder than history or literature then try to “daily reviewing” math lectures so you don’t forget the informations and help you speed up the studying time of exam and get better marks. Remember: you dont need to daily review history or literature! As i said JUST PRIORITIZE the hard subjects and give them much more time than other subjects. 3- like what mentioned in the video, if you find yourself with tons of informations that you need to memorize PLEASE GIVE YOURSELF A FAVOR AND SUMMARIZE THEM IN YOUR OWN WORDS! take A4 papers and draw some diagrams or lists of the informations. Don’t throw all the information in the summery paper just the things that you think they’re important or if you’re not sure what is important exactly (this case is for the hard nut professor that thinks every word is important and always surprise you with his/her questions) don’t worry just write them down BUT in a more organized way with diagrams and less filling words. 4- put highlighted stars on the Points that you think you’ll forget or would come up in the exam so you can quickly check them right before the exam. DON’T highlight EVERYTHING PLEASE because you’ll distract yourself rather than focusing on the important things. 5- ATTEND THE LECTURES. yes you might think that you’re in 2018 and you can rely on technology but there are key factors in attending like asking questions right when you need them. Writing down the important notes that won’t be mentioned in recorded lectures. Like important points that would come up in the exam or any other notes that’ll help you with studying. 6- study according to the teacher’s way of writing questions. For example, if your teacher likes detailed informations in a form of multiple choice questions then remember that while you’re studying and highlight the points on your lecture so you can review them right before exams. Try to analyze his/her way of writing the questions and study according to that! This is A KEY TIP for whoever wants to get the best results in his grades. If its you first exam and you don’t know about your teacher’s way of writing the Q’s then just ask them! Do they prefer multiple choice Q’s, essay questions or case question and its reason answer? Just ask. Back to number 1 Do what works for you! try some of the video & comment tips. Wish you the best luck❤️
I am the type of person who scared that i will left out the detail information by picking out just an important ones. How do you know which information to keep and which one to left out?
@trubarbey that's sometimes true, it's just that some professors will pull out information that's not really emphasized in class to test our flexibility
Throughout high school, university, and onwards, I’ve always had good grades without studying and relied heavily on cramming/procrastination. This is a horrible way to live and I do not recommend it at all. I feel like I’ve forgotten everything I was supposed to learn, and even my gpa is high, it doesn’t reflect my actual knowledge. Grades don’t mean a thing and I’m the living embodiment of that. Don’t be like me. I’m currently working on fixing my bad habits so that I can do well in grad school and use what I learn to help people. It’s a tough journey ahead.
You created a comic-book universe that's taken the world by storm and turned into a multi-billion dollar series of movies. I'd say you did pretty well with whatever you learned ;)
My most effective thing I did was make my own quizzes - I'd read through a textbook & simultaneously type my own questions based off what I thought was important. Later on (close to test day), I'd just do my own quizzes to review. Maintained a 4.0 taking 24 credits a semester this way when a full credit-load was 12-credits & the "maximum" allowed was 18-credits.
Please tell me more of what your strategies were! I’m working my ass off with school, and don’t have much of a social life right now because I’m discovering that I’m working inefficiently. I know that I’m smart enough but I’m not seeing the results I want yet, and it’s very frustrating seeing other people with good grades that are able to still have a life 😭 or people who spend less time and get better grades than me
In this video, you are giving literally the best tips anyone can give about efficiency. I am currently in 2. year of medical school and following your advices, my exam results increased dramatically. Thank you
Thank you for the share! As an A+ student, here's what works for me: 1) Prepare: Read the chapter, make pre-class notes, and come prepared to lecture with questions and insights 2) Attend Lecture: This is so vital for not just learning but also reinforcing the material, in addition to an opportunity to form study groups. Also, you can speak to your professor after class (if time permits) to ask any lingering questions or obtain clarity on concepts and seek additional resources. During the lecture, I type all of my notes because it allows me more time to actually think about what is being said. I actively follow up by finding pictures on the internet (or drawing them later) to connect to the concepts (and edit accordingly later). 3) Review: Revise what you have learned. After lecture, I would take my in-class notes from my laptop and summarize them in written form on my iPad, adding/drawing more pictures to illustrate the concepts. The summarized sheets are also what I use for studying for exams. While I review my notes, I like to teach the concepts to fellow classmates, friends, family and review the info as much as possible. A little bit every day goes a long way. You can even review just thinking about it, while walking, waiting on line, even while helping your mom tidy up or brewing that 7th cup of tea :) Lastly, I prefer to study mostly solo in my room at my desk, usually in silence, except when I am watching videos that further explain the info. I find cafes and libraries too loud or distracting, and appreciate the calm of my home office, where I can easily reference any of the books on my shelf and break into a downward dog anytime. *One thing not mentioned was the timing of studying. I tend to recall best if I study at night. I also like to review first thing in the morning. This has worked out best for me, but find what works for you. Always remember, you won't be able to learn well if you aren't taking care of your health. Do set up a healthy sleep routine, stay hydrated, eat well, and engage in regular exercise. **Fun Tip: It's good to vigorously exercise before an exam because the rush of blood improves recall via oxygenation and can help settle nerves with mood-enhancing endorphins. So rather than cramming, contemplate what you have learned on your run to the test. And Best of Luck! Dr. Jubbal, can you please make a video of how you approach textbooks? For example, what is your initial approach? Do you read every word or simply skim the key points? Thank you for an awesome video. I am going to get back to studying now lols.
Another tip: DO NOT lift weights moderately/excessively 5 days before an exam, especially if it's math, science, IT related. You will lose a ton of IQ points in those 5 days. I see this is where running and cardio really shines.
Im an A+ student as well but I struggle doing this lol I hate reading, taking notes. But Im trying to be more organized lmao. I always get too behind with my notes
It's fine. I only have to cover partial fraction integration, completing the square, by parts, taylor series, all the derivatives, related rates and implicit differentiation in 24 hours before my final tomorrow. FML
One thing to point, don't just study cause you have to, study because you want to. Studying with curiosity will help you. Don't think why are you doing this! Think about atleast you are knowing something. Great video, I love it
Also another problem that discourages me of studying is that my notes are always messy because 1. I have difficulty identifying the important parts of a teacher’s lecture, so I write down everything 2. I try to write down everything, and there’s so much to write, that I write really fast. As a result my notes are hard to read and discouraging to come back to. Studying isn’t fun when your notes are messy.
I was a bad student in high school because I always try to just memorize my notes (plus I hated school) but after watching this video I’m actually looking forward to studying..😳😳 thank you
The problem is that high school was mostly just seeing if you are good at memorizing. In my school they would give us a review and we just had to memorize and you are good..
I'm not a med student, but an adult student of biology with a disability, and I found this helpful. I don't have a lot of energy, and I can't rely on having energy at a particular time . Essentially, routine is impossible for me, so I am like many students with kids or other obligations. 1. I keep my bookbag with my notes and textbook in my car when I'm not studying at home so I can pick it up and look at it or bring it into a coffee shop or park at any time. 2. I look at my notes at different times of the day, varying the textbook, my professor's printouts, and my own notes, or all of them together. 3. I vary my sources. I gather the same information from the internet, especially biology based charts, because sometimes the illustration in my textbook is not the best one for me. I also watch videos. Usually a single explanation is not good enough for me, but having it explained in several different ways allows me to pick the parts that are clearest from each source. It is important however to not get confused and stay on the track your professor outlines in your notes. 4. I'll imagine the different biological processes as I'm falling asleep at night. Picturing them happening in my head reinforces them as actual occurrences, plus nighttime review is proven to be especially helpful.
This is important if you are on a stem field or any math/study heavy field, comp sci, engineering, medicine, etc. If you procrastinate on these fields you'll have very little free time for yourself to
With Allah(SWT) 's mercy i finally, cleared my pre med exam and joined mbbs.may Allah(SWT) give all of us long, healthy, organised, productive, happy, peaceful, blessed life and then jannat ul firdouse without any prior punishment. Ameen may Allah(SWT) forgive all our past, present and future sins. Ameen. May Allah (SWT) help me and make MBBS easy for me.
Here's a success story! I first found this video after my 3rd year of undergrad, I had a 3.5 gpa and it was trending down, but by following the tips of MSI's videos I had a 4.0 my 4th year taking 36 credits! It enabled me to get into a competitive masters program and now i'm confident in my ability to achieve an A+ in every class I attempt. THANK YOU Med School Insiders! Life changing!
yea pomodoro isn't for me either. makes me too anxious "how many minutes do i got left???" and when i actually get the hang of it, the 25 mins are up. try to set your work for more minutes, maybe that will work for you
If you are studying for those 25 minutes, then you are getting something done. You're learning. Or if you're working on work, you're still making progress, even if it's not "done" within those 25 minutes.
Perfect timing. I have my first exam tomorrow and I apparently use active studymethodes. Watching your video gave me some other opportunities to use on my next exams:)
1. Summarize topics in your own words. 2. Sort information according to the level of importance of the information. 3. Restructure and organize information in smaller parts
I think neat note taking is really important. Putting care into my notes really helps me focus on whats written. Its also motivating to have pretty looking pages of notes, and its easier to review. Review sheets are also amazing, seriously do not underestimate them! I combine review sheets with prioritizing information by putting little stars by important bits, and adding that to a review sheet at the end of a unit.
My notes on Med School Insiders’s « Study LESS, Study SMART » video: 1/ Active vs Passive Learning Passive learning > more comfortable Active learning > more effective Steps to active learning: A. Identify important infos B. Organize things based on how you understand it C. Memorize in an active way D. Apply by practicing 2/ Environment A. Location ( coffee shops/library vs at home ) B. Group vs Solo group > slower but motivating: need to be small (1/2 ppl) to avoid distractions, teach what you’ve learned C. Routine vs Novel Stimuli Novel Stimuli > stimulies you to be productive by varying the location, ppl, study technique ... Routine > avoid procrastination D. Timing Pomodoro technique ( 25 min / 5 min breaks ) 3/ Obtaining information A. Writing vs Typing your Notes Typing your Notes > passive Writing > improves recall, makes you focus on important parts B. Lecture vs Podcast Lecture > routine + surrounded by ppl = encourages you to be engaged / productive Podcast > flexibility to watch whenever you want + ability to speed up the video C. Rewatching lectures Rewatching them = waste of time > passive Time is better spent reviewing notes and doing active learning D. Textbooks Reviewing them > passive Active way to use them = summarize what you read into your own words > improves your recall 4/ memorization A. Summary sheets Summarize infos, condense, restructure and extract essential points > active learning B. Spaced repetition Increase time between reviews, a lot of scheduling so needs an app ( Anki ) Flashcards > recalling infos > similar to test’s questions
The differance between knowing what the right thing to do is and doing what the right thing is often holds infinite amounts of possibilites - I've known about this information since 4 years and yet havent really applied it much as it felt unconfortable trying some of these! Thanks for the video, great energy!
Thank you! For years during my University/College lifetime I have been struggling with studying all this time, which as a result led me to terrible grades despite studying for HOURS on a certain subject. I wholeheartedly agree with the ACTIVE studying process because as an introvert I do not feel comfortable recalling information, especially when I’m lazy. This is perfect for my reading week right now. And so thank you for this, it is definitely helpful!
Same here!! It’s really frustrating because I haven’t been able to balance school work any other aspects of my life, and it honestly makes me want to drop out sometimes. I know that im smart enough, but I’m seeing that I need to learn new strategies!!
I'm starting university this fall as a chemistry major on the pre med track. And I'm literally search up all of these videos to feel less anxiety about classes.
Study hacks :- 1. Active vs passive learning 2. Obtain info - review info 3. Memorize active 4. Apply info # environment #group vs solo - small grp # teach what ye have learned # routine vs novel stimuli # timing - pomodoro technique 25 minute task 5 min break # obtain info - writing vs typing notes # improve recall in writing # lectures vs podcast # ask question # engage and focused # stay on track # review info , active learning # make process active # summarizes info # memorization -Summary sheets - condense info - spaced repetition - review cards daily - RECALL - Brief amount cards
I love this video! You have successfully put all the best study techniques in one video, which is great for reviewing afterwards, picking and choosing the best mehods at any time.
as an A+ student, i would highly recommend doing mindmaps! they are scientifically proven to work and are super effective (for me at least). they are really good for subjects like geography, science, history, business, etc. but they work for ANY subject !!
So what I've been doing has a name- “condensed notes” I love doing that. It's so easy I've actually been a good learner. Look at me thinking I wasn't before.
Tips to study Active learning - 4 steps 1. Identify what is important and what is not. 2. Organize information in personalized understandable way (synthesizing information in your own words/diagrams). 3. Memorize information in an active way. 4. Apply information (practice quizzes/tests) Study environment 1. A location where you can focus with no distractions Group Vs. Solo studying 1. Solo studying first 2. Then group studying - to teach what you have learned Routine Vs. Novel stimuli 1. The routine of waking up at the same time may help in less procrastination 2. Novel stimuli - same places Timing 1. The Pomodoro technique - study in 25 minute blocks and take 5 minute breaks - fights procrastination, improves focus and maintains endurance Obtaining information 1. Writing Vs. Typing notes 2. Emphasize information and organize into your own words Lecture Vs. Podcasts 1. Lecture helps reduce distraction and ask questions in real time 2. Podcast helps in listening at your pace and speed - make sure you are not the person to zone out and do not fall behind Rewatching lectures 1. Helps with reinforcing content however it can unuseful as you are wasting time while you can be creating flashcards, summary sheets, etc… Textbooks 1. Make process active by summarizing what you read in own words this can help identify information in a way you can understand Memorization 1. Summary sheets and condensed notes. 2. Read notes and summarize in your words by creating less pages 3. Spaced repetition - after each review increase interval between reviews 4. Eg. review info after 24 hours then after 72 hours until completely memorized (this requires scheduling)
This is what Helps me study.... -Study myself -Write when I study -Write with different colors but don't decorate it waste time -Study music doesn't work for me but you can try -If I don't get something I text a friend or search on internet Hope these tips help you too
This is really helpful since midterms are coming. And I strongly agree that writing down notes is better than typing them. And I also do this strategy where after I write them, I summarize it, then re-summarize it again until the only keywords are left. It is very helpful since the summarizing part usually takes concentration and understanding. So during the process, you are actually learning more and understanding more of the topic. And this helps a lot. Instead of just memorizing it that you would eventually forget, learning and understanding the topic more would retain in your memory.
"THIS IS HARD. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THIS. I'VE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE!" I felt this too, but instead of complaining, try to summarize this whole video into one page. It will be a good start for you. Hope that helps!
JUST THE VIDEO I NEEDED! I’m in my first year pre dental and I’m trying to find new, efficient ways to study and get more done because I realized my original study methods didn’t get me the grades that I want and I didn’t really have time. So thank you so much for this video!
Little Rose wont you benefit in having straight A’s? I mean, I get it. Expectation and disappointments, but if you think about it, it’s not really a bad thing. You just have to put in effort so you can make your parents proud. If they ever get disappointed, atleast in yourself you know that you did your best and you’re proud of your accomplishments.
If you study less, you can have time to study other things too. Learning a new language or reading books for example;). The ideal of minimising your time of studying something does help you to spend your time on other subjects and study more.
How do you know what information is the most important? It's honestly the worst feeling in the world coming out of an exam knowing you studied all of the wrong stuff.
I was too lazy to use the passive technics, re-writing a document couple of times are you kitting :D I remember most of the lessons I had even if I was asleep in the class which I was mostly :D
What I do as a straight A student are these three things: 1. Make flashcards and review them while going on a walk outside. Oxygen in brain+vitamin D+ exercise=success. I also find it helpful to go to the gym, study a set on the treadmill, and then left some weights and repeat 2. If you don't have too many materials to manage, pick a random spot and study there for ten minutes, than move to a different spot, and so on. 3. Cornell notes, if you haven't heard of them, are where you fold half a sheet of paper with the question on the front and the answer on back. You just go down the paper repeatedly until you know the material.
I wish my memory was better. It's a struggle I deal with every day and it has cost me years, literally. I'd like to see more videos about memorization. Loved this!
Hey, it's myself from the future. Just wanna let you know your memory wasn't bad, you just had to trust it and apply yourself. Believe me, we're doing great ✨
I had problem reading and studying. Thanks to this video. Also I had my own tips: Monday - Friday Is studying don't play games and watch youtube Saturday and Sunday can play games and watch TH-cam
For the binge-learners: Copy your notes and make them more concise and explanatory every time. Depending on the material, you should be able to regurgitate about everything for at least a few hours after one session. Obviously, take your time and repeat this under less stress if you care to actually know the material long term.
Rewatching lecture material has been extremely helpful for me. I can't pay attention during live lecture and I zone out constantly. Watching the recording allows me to rewind when I zone out and take notes on information I had completely missed cuz I can't stay focused.
Just suggesting a quizlet video because I know they put the new features on it like making “outlines” and the “learn” feature and it’s been something that’s helped me tremendously in pharmacy school. I’d like to see you make a video because I think you could potentially find even more features that I can try out. On a different note, thank you for your videos. They are a great help!
This is amazing for college! I like how u said “down time to do other things..” I work & go to college & I feel like I never have down time for myself :’( I really hope this works so I don’t have to spend hours a day doing hw
I have watched just about all your videos and I am most excited to watch this one. Some incredible timing considering my mid terms are coming up next week! Thanks for everything over the years doc.
Tip: Use things like daisy chains, diagrams, small doodles (like drawing a mirror and person to show what reflection is) and mnemonics. Try to keep it short and simple. It helps to redraw the diagram on some paper until you can do it without looking at the page. Example: (Some of this may be incorrect as English isn't my first language) How light travels through the eye to create an image, also I'm aware that our brains flip the image, this is just a copy of a diagram in my school book LPLR EOB Ligth> Pupil> Light> Lens> Light> Retina> Electric Signal> Optic Nerve> Electric Signal> Brain
As a med student myself I agree with all the tips , currently going through exams after 10 months of lockdown and no studying. So repeating all the study materials again and again has been the only thing that's effective in getting familiar with already learnt topics.
I never had problems studying in college. My techniques usually worked out and I could even ace an exam by studying a day before. But ever since I got into med school, it's like I'm constantly experimenting on my study techniques because the ones I did in college doesn't work anymore. The amount of information they expect us to know in med school is just ridiculously humongous! There really is no key but REPETITION (and some mnemonics). Med school literally made me cry and had mental breakdown to the point of almost quitting, but I think back of how my parents work the hardest to send me here and that GOT me to study every time. Someday I'm gonna go back to my parents in the province with MD next to my name. Fighting! ❣
This was just me when I was a pre-med. But something that I enjoyed doing was actively summarizing the information, then creating a sketch or even a painting to accompany it. Utilizing a visual way of active learning, it was also a great way to utilize that few minute interval between bursts of study time.
Ok, I thought I knew how to study really well. Did 2 science majors in undergrad with top grades. Back then I watched this video and I was annoyed. Now, in Med school, this video is exactly what the Dr. ordered.
As straight A student This is what I do -I pay attention to class(very) -Before exams I write down all I know for the unit -When I stuty,I study out loud and sometimes I walk -I'm not that great at math,when I don't understand something I look up for the topic on google and try to do whatever I can -Before each exams I pray (most important for me) -I also got distracted easily so sometimes I put my phone in another room or watch a study with me video so I can study with the person -When I don't feel like studying,I remind myself why I should study -I'm not that great smart student in school,a black girl trying her best to be the best
Always choose C. Except if you know your teacher reads this, then choose A or B. Unless your teacher knows that you know they read this, then stick with C. But if you think they know that you know that they might have anticipated and attempted to counter it by sticking with C, thankfully I’ve got a life hack that counters that as well. Life Hack: Say no to meth.
Instead of studying in groups, I do all of it solo, and I find that combining active learning plus after your done with your practice problems or whatever your doing, do another one and act as if you are the one teaching, talking to yourself and just explaining why you got that or why it worked and it helps me retain it really well
Guys I'm not in college I'm still a highschool freshman, my last report card wasnt rlly good, my overall grade was 75% and here in my country that sucks it's like B- and a C+ so I'm gonna start using these strategies and I'll update you guys on my next report card grade! Like to remind me!!
i typically just type a word and then under it is the most simplified description of it. it makes the brain go crazy remembering the importance of it. also helps if the prof speaks fast.
Awesome video! This is extremely helpful for all the students over the globe & will resolve most of the study problems students encounter! Please enlighten us more over such topics! Thank you so much for sharing this golden piece of advice! GREAT EFFORTS!!! Thank you once again!!!
I know a person mentioned he doesn't really attend classes and do self study. but he has some background in that field already. I think attending uni classes would be so important for understanding and to clarify doubts. As well as to know classmates and to help each other. I feel learning and being in school is precious. So have to treasure the chance to learn.

Lol
Watch later = Never seen again.
Me too, 2 time watching it
Im going to pretend that my kitten is listening to me and teach her chemistry. Hope this works

Ha thanks now I don't have to watch while video
It’s people like you that go to TH-cam Heaven
Wow thanks a lot mate
I was searching for this comment thank you
I study 5 mins and take a 25 mins break..
😂
I don't study and take a 25 day break
big mood
Same
i study 5 mins and take the rest of the time as a break
Something I do that really helps me is that I help tutor my friend who struggles in some classes, and teaching someone else actually helps me remember and learn the material I have.
That's one of the best study techniques, I think!
Yes !!! I usually do that when i was still in high school :)))
As a student of straight A+’s
I’d like to share some studying tips that has worked for me:
1- Take the right methods of studying that WORKS BEST for you! For example: the things that have been mentioned on this video DON’T necessarily mean that it should work for you too. Take what works for you and you’ll reach that level of confidence of your work.
2- prioritize the hard subjects for studying . If you think that you want to put much time on math for example because math’s professor is a hard nut or the subject itself is a little bit harder than history or literature then try to “daily reviewing” math lectures so you don’t forget the informations and help you speed up the studying time of exam and get better marks. Remember: you dont need to daily review history or literature! As i said JUST PRIORITIZE the hard subjects and give them much more time than other subjects.
3- like what mentioned in the video, if you find yourself with tons of informations that you need to memorize PLEASE GIVE YOURSELF A FAVOR AND SUMMARIZE THEM IN YOUR OWN WORDS! take A4 papers and draw some diagrams or lists of the informations. Don’t throw all the information in the summery paper just the things that you think they’re important or if you’re not sure what is important exactly (this case is for the hard nut professor that thinks every word is important and always surprise you with his/her questions) don’t worry just write them down BUT in a more organized way with diagrams and less filling words.
4- put highlighted stars on the Points that you think you’ll forget or would come up in the exam so you can quickly check them right before the exam. DON’T highlight EVERYTHING PLEASE because you’ll distract yourself rather than focusing on the important things.
5- ATTEND THE LECTURES. yes you might think that you’re in 2018 and you can rely on technology but there are key factors in attending like asking questions right when you need them. Writing down the important notes that won’t be mentioned in recorded lectures. Like important points that would come up in the exam or any other notes that’ll help you with studying.
6- study according to the teacher’s way of writing questions. For example, if your teacher likes detailed informations in a form of multiple choice questions then remember that while you’re studying and highlight the points on your lecture so you can review them right before exams. Try to analyze his/her way of writing the questions and study according to that! This is A KEY TIP for whoever wants to get the best results in his grades. If its you first exam and you don’t know about your teacher’s way of writing the Q’s then just ask them! Do they prefer multiple choice Q’s, essay questions or case question and its reason answer? Just ask.

I am the type of person who scared that i will left out the detail information by picking out just an important ones. How do you know which information to keep and which one to left out?
@trubarbey that's sometimes true, it's just that some professors will pull out information that's not really emphasized in class to test our flexibility
That’s the thing, no one knows. Ur fucked
Understand your notes and underline key words after reading it aloud five times
Sometimes its just like a general sentence about blah blah. That is not what you want. Your teacher is likely to ask definition, types etc.
Peace! Pretend that you are preparing a paper for cheating. It's amazing, when we are preparing to cheat we just pick "important" information.
Throughout high school, university, and onwards, I’ve always had good grades without studying and relied heavily on cramming/procrastination.
This is a horrible way to live and I do not recommend it at all. I feel like I’ve forgotten everything I was supposed to learn, and even my gpa is high, it doesn’t reflect my actual knowledge.
Grades don’t mean a thing and I’m the living embodiment of that. Don’t be like me.
I’m currently working on fixing my bad habits so that I can do well in grad school and use what I learn to help people. It’s a tough journey ahead.
You created a comic-book universe that's taken the world by storm and turned into a multi-billion dollar series of movies. I'd say you did pretty well with whatever you learned ;)
My most effective thing I did was make my own quizzes - I'd read through a textbook & simultaneously type my own questions based off what I thought was important. Later on (close to test day), I'd just do my own quizzes to review. Maintained a 4.0 taking 24 credits a semester this way when a full credit-load was 12-credits & the "maximum" allowed was 18-credits.
Hi
Please tell me more of what your strategies were! I’m working my ass off with school, and don’t have much of a social life right now because I’m discovering that I’m working inefficiently. I know that I’m smart enough but I’m not seeing the results I want yet, and it’s very frustrating seeing other people with good grades that are able to still have a life 😭 or people who spend less time and get better grades than me
In this video, you are giving literally the best tips anyone can give about efficiency. I am currently in 2. year of medical school and following your advices, my exam results increased dramatically. Thank you
I thought that this school year I'd study on time. It's still not too late to start. I hope I won't be lazy this year. Wish me luck everyone!
Good luck!
What school are you in
How you getting along?
Did u improve ur grades?
Its already a year so how you did this year?
Thank you for the share! As an A+ student, here's what works for me:
1) Prepare:
Read the chapter, make pre-class notes, and come prepared to lecture with questions and insights
2) Attend Lecture:
This is so vital for not just learning but also reinforcing the material, in addition to an opportunity to form study groups. Also, you can speak to your professor after class (if time permits) to ask any lingering questions or obtain clarity on concepts and seek additional resources. During the lecture, I type all of my notes because it allows me more time to actually think about what is being said. I actively follow up by finding pictures on the internet (or drawing them later) to connect to the concepts (and edit accordingly later).
3) Review:
Revise what you have learned. After lecture, I would take my in-class notes from my laptop and summarize them in written form on my iPad, adding/drawing more pictures to illustrate the concepts. The summarized sheets are also what I use for studying for exams. While I review my notes, I like to teach the concepts to fellow classmates, friends, family and review the info as much as possible. A little bit every day goes a long way. You can even review just thinking about it, while walking, waiting on line, even while helping your mom tidy up or brewing that 7th cup of tea :)
Lastly, I prefer to study mostly solo in my room at my desk, usually in silence, except when I am watching videos that further explain the info. I find cafes and libraries too loud or distracting, and appreciate the calm of my home office, where I can easily reference any of the books on my shelf and break into a downward dog anytime.
*One thing not mentioned was the timing of studying. I tend to recall best if I study at night. I also like to review first thing in the morning. This has worked out best for me, but find what works for you. Always remember, you won't be able to learn well if you aren't taking care of your health. Do set up a healthy sleep routine, stay hydrated, eat well, and engage in regular exercise.
**Fun Tip: It's good to vigorously exercise before an exam because the rush of blood improves recall via oxygenation and can help settle nerves with mood-enhancing endorphins. So rather than cramming, contemplate what you have learned on your run to the test. And Best of Luck!
Dr. Jubbal, can you please make a video of how you approach textbooks? For example, what is your initial approach? Do you read every word or simply skim the key points? Thank you for an awesome video. I am going to get back to studying now lols.
Thank you :D
Thank you
Thank you so much!
Another tip: DO NOT lift weights moderately/excessively 5 days before an exam, especially if it's math, science, IT related. You will lose a ton of IQ points in those 5 days.
I see this is where running and cardio really shines.
Im an A+ student as well but I struggle doing this lol I hate reading, taking notes. But Im trying to be more organized lmao. I always get too behind with my notes
FUNFACT: Tests are upcoming, and you have to study but you're here
🤦♀️🤦♀️
CORN CORN test is tomorrow
@@amanusman1790 Its tomorrow for me now ;-; yet im not studying a single thing this whole day
It's fine. I only have to cover partial fraction integration, completing the square, by parts, taylor series, all the derivatives, related rates and implicit differentiation in 24 hours before my final tomorrow.
FML
My exams are 6 days from now
One thing to point, don't just study cause you have to, study because you want to. Studying with curiosity will help you. Don't think why are you doing this! Think about atleast you are knowing something. Great video, I love it
Also another problem that discourages me of studying is that my notes are always messy because
1. I have difficulty identifying the important parts of a teacher’s lecture, so I write down everything
2. I try to write down everything, and there’s so much to write, that I write really fast. As a result my notes are hard to read and discouraging to come back to. Studying isn’t fun when your notes are messy.
@Juvilent wow thanks for the tips!
@@kaito1397 How's it going now?
Have your note writing improved? If yes, please provide us with the tips that helped you because I have the same struggles that you’ve mentioned 🥺
Same😔
i tend to do the same thing but instead of writing, i type it all so my notes look like i transcribed most of my professor's lectures
I was a bad student in high school because I always try to just memorize my notes (plus I hated school) but after watching this video I’m actually looking forward to studying..😳😳 thank you
ShafyShoo how is it going

The problem is that high school was mostly just seeing if you are good at memorizing. In my school they would give us a review and we just had to memorize and you are good..
I'm not a med student, but an adult student of biology with a disability, and I found this helpful. I don't have a lot of energy, and I can't rely on having energy at a particular time . Essentially, routine is impossible for me, so I am like many students with kids or other obligations.
1. I keep my bookbag with my notes and textbook in my car when I'm not studying at home so I can pick it up and look at it or bring it into a coffee shop or park at any time.
2. I look at my notes at different times of the day, varying the textbook, my professor's printouts, and my own notes, or all of them together.
3. I vary my sources. I gather the same information from the internet, especially biology based charts, because sometimes the illustration in my textbook is not the best one for me. I also watch videos. Usually a single explanation is not good enough for me, but having it explained in several different ways allows me to pick the parts that are clearest from each source. It is important however to not get confused and stay on the track your professor outlines in your notes.
4. I'll imagine the different biological processes as I'm falling asleep at night. Picturing them happening in my head reinforces them as actual occurrences, plus nighttime review is proven to be especially helpful.
Thanks alot , but i can't imagine anything in biology when im falling asleep because i just focus on sleeping. 😂😂😂

This is important if you are on a stem field or any math/study heavy field, comp sci, engineering, medicine, etc.

Do not use line paper but use a plain sheet of paper because it gives you more flexibility when note taking.
It also helps synthesise information and allows you to do a flow diagram or spider diagram or a list etc. In your notes

Problem is... I get nothing done in 25 minutes
yea pomodoro isn't for me either. makes me too anxious "how many minutes do i got left???" and when i actually get the hang of it, the 25 mins are up. try to set your work for more minutes, maybe that will work for you
If you are studying for those 25 minutes, then you are getting something done. You're learning. Or if you're working on work, you're still making progress, even if it's not "done" within those 25 minutes.
You can use landmarks instead. I try to set a goal (read a section) then once I reach the goal, I take my break.
Sometimes, people might change it up and do the 50 min study and 10 min break, or do the hour study and 20 min break, etc
@@MightyMeg heyy that's a great idea!!
Perfect timing. I have my first exam tomorrow and I apparently use active studymethodes. Watching your video gave me some other opportunities to use on my next exams:)
1. Summarize topics in your own words.
2. Sort information according to the level of importance of the information.
3. Restructure and organize information in smaller parts
Reverse pomodoro technique---- study for 5min break for 25 mins
😀
This is so me HAHAHA
Lmao
Hahahaha totally me
You can extend to 40 min with pauses of 10-20 min. It works with me, at least
I think neat note taking is really important. Putting care into my notes really helps me focus on whats written. Its also motivating to have pretty looking pages of notes, and its easier to review. Review sheets are also amazing, seriously do not underestimate them! I combine review sheets with prioritizing information by putting little stars by important bits, and adding that to a review sheet at the end of a unit.
I’m the type of person who highlights the whole reader 💀 EVERYTHING IS IMPORTANT!!
Me too🤣
My notes on Med School Insiders’s « Study LESS, Study SMART » video:
1/ Active vs Passive Learning
Passive learning > more comfortable
Active learning > more effective
Steps to active learning:
A. Identify important infos
B. Organize things based on how you understand it
C. Memorize in an active way
D. Apply by practicing
2/ Environment
A. Location ( coffee shops/library vs at home )
B. Group vs Solo
group > slower but motivating: need to be small (1/2 ppl) to avoid distractions, teach what you’ve learned
C. Routine vs Novel Stimuli
Novel Stimuli > stimulies you to be productive by varying the location, ppl, study technique ...
Routine > avoid procrastination
D. Timing
Pomodoro technique ( 25 min / 5 min breaks )
3/ Obtaining information
A. Writing vs Typing your Notes
Typing your Notes > passive
Writing > improves recall, makes you focus on important parts
B. Lecture vs Podcast
Lecture > routine + surrounded by ppl = encourages you to be engaged / productive
Podcast > flexibility to watch whenever you want + ability to speed up the video
C. Rewatching lectures
Rewatching them = waste of time > passive
Time is better spent reviewing notes and doing active learning
D. Textbooks
Reviewing them > passive
Active way to use them = summarize what you read into your own words > improves your recall
4/ memorization
A. Summary sheets
Summarize infos, condense, restructure and extract essential points > active learning
B. Spaced repetition
Increase time between reviews, a lot of scheduling so needs an app ( Anki )
Flashcards > recalling infos > similar to test’s questions
Perfect timing, Dr. J. I have an exam this week. 👏
me too
Lmao how is one week even enough. Good luck
It sounds like what Harley Quinn would call the Joker in a doctor disguise lmao
The differance between knowing what the right thing to do is and doing what the right thing is often holds infinite amounts of possibilites - I've known about this information since 4 years and yet havent really applied it much as it felt unconfortable trying some of these! Thanks for the video, great energy!
When?
Every year i think i will be more organised 😂😂 instead i become lazier😐😂😂😂
Entropy>0
that's me too
m2
Sameee
I nees help 😂
Spaced repetition is the most effective technique for me!
Thank you! For years during my University/College lifetime I have been struggling with studying all this time, which as a result led me to terrible grades despite studying for HOURS on a certain subject. I wholeheartedly agree with the ACTIVE studying process because as an introvert I do not feel comfortable recalling information, especially when I’m lazy. This is perfect for my reading week right now. And so thank you for this, it is definitely helpful!
Same here!! It’s really frustrating because I haven’t been able to balance school work any other aspects of my life, and it honestly makes me want to drop out sometimes. I know that im smart enough, but I’m seeing that I need to learn new strategies!!
i see “study less” i click
wow. I've just realised how important the different between recognition and recall... thanks for the awesome video
I'm starting university this fall as a chemistry major on the pre med track. And I'm literally search up all of these videos to feel less anxiety about classes.

as an A+ student,
i would highly recommend doing mindmaps! they are scientifically proven to work and are super effective (for me at least). they are really good for subjects like geography, science, history, business, etc. but they work for ANY subject !!
Im a medical school in France and I gotta say that your video is very useful !
So what I've been doing has a name- “condensed notes”
I love doing that. It's so easy
I've actually been a good learner. Look at me thinking I wasn't before.
Tips to study
Active learning - 4 steps
1. Identify what is important and what is not.
2. Organize information in personalized understandable way (synthesizing information in your own words/diagrams).
3. Memorize information in an active way.
4. Apply information (practice quizzes/tests)
Study environment
1. A location where you can focus with no distractions
Group Vs. Solo studying
1. Solo studying first
2. Then group studying - to teach what you have learned
Routine Vs. Novel stimuli
1. The routine of waking up at the same time may help in less procrastination
2. Novel stimuli - same places
Timing
1. The Pomodoro technique - study in 25 minute blocks and take 5 minute breaks - fights procrastination, improves focus and maintains endurance
Obtaining information
1. Writing Vs. Typing notes
2. Emphasize information and organize into your own words
Lecture Vs. Podcasts
1. Lecture helps reduce distraction and ask questions in real time
2. Podcast helps in listening at your pace and speed - make sure you are not the person to zone out and do not fall behind
Rewatching lectures
1. Helps with reinforcing content however it can unuseful as you are wasting time while you can be creating flashcards, summary sheets, etc…
Textbooks
1. Make process active by summarizing what you read in own words this can help identify information in a way you can understand
Memorization
1. Summary sheets and condensed notes.
2. Read notes and summarize in your words by creating less pages
3. Spaced repetition - after each review increase interval between reviews
4. Eg. review info after 24 hours then after 72 hours until completely memorized (this requires scheduling)
I’m digging these new animations Dr. Jabbal. Keep up the great content. Your videos have helped me volumes.
This is what Helps me study....
-Study myself
-Write when I study
-Write with different colors but don't decorate it waste time
-Study music doesn't work for me but you can try
-If I don't get something I text a friend or search on internet
Hope these tips help you too
This is really helpful since midterms are coming. And I strongly agree that writing down notes is better than typing them. And I also do this strategy where after I write them, I summarize it, then re-summarize it again until the only keywords are left. It is very helpful since the summarizing part usually takes concentration and understanding. So during the process, you are actually learning more and understanding more of the topic. And this helps a lot. Instead of just memorizing it that you would eventually forget, learning and understanding the topic more would retain in your memory.
"THIS IS HARD. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THIS. I'VE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE!"
I felt this too, but instead of complaining, try to summarize this whole video into one page. It will be a good start for you.
Hope that helps!
JUST THE VIDEO I NEEDED! I’m in my first year pre dental and I’m trying to find new, efficient ways to study and get more done because I realized my original study methods didn’t get me the grades that I want and I didn’t really have time. So thank you so much for this video!
Never done Pomodoro, but the Feynman technique has been really useful.
No, my Asian parents will get mad at me if they see me studying less 😒
orangecharcoal is it a bad thing to study?
Navi Miracle Most asian parents wants their kids to have better jobs than them like lawyer, doctor etc. And they want that you get straight A’s
mine too
Little Rose wont you benefit in having straight A’s? I mean, I get it. Expectation and disappointments, but if you think about it, it’s not really a bad thing. You just have to put in effort so you can make your parents proud. If they ever get disappointed, atleast in yourself you know that you did your best and you’re proud of your accomplishments.
If you study less, you can have time to study other things too. Learning a new language or reading books for example;).
The ideal of minimising your time of studying something does help you to spend your time on other subjects and study more.
How do you know what information is the most important? It's honestly the worst feeling in the world coming out of an exam knowing you studied all of the wrong stuff.

But herein the Philippines we don’t have a choice since it’s still online, MED SCHOOL ONLINE!!!
I wish I had this before medical school. I just used passive techniques and didn’t know how to implement active learning strategies.
Adnan A You passed...
I was too lazy to use the passive technics, re-writing a document couple of times are you kitting :D
I remember most of the lessons I had even if I was asleep in the class which I was mostly :D
10 times the length is totally fine with me!!😂 Your videos are super helpful and insightful, thanks for sharing!!
👋
What I do as a straight A student are these three things:
1. Make flashcards and review them while going on a walk outside. Oxygen in brain+vitamin D+ exercise=success. I also find it helpful to go to the gym, study a set on the treadmill, and then left some weights and repeat
2. If you don't have too many materials to manage, pick a random spot and study there for ten minutes, than move to a different spot, and so on.
3. Cornell notes, if you haven't heard of them, are where you fold half a sheet of paper with the question on the front and the answer on back. You just go down the paper repeatedly until you know the material.
I found your tutoring text itself is well structured and interwoven concepts as a whole. You are no doubt the best learner.
Note-taking is the best strategy I've been using throughout any of my ongoing learning processes.
Thanks for the other tips, they're equally helpful.
I’m getting really good at the “study less” part

Really educative video, thanks Dr Jubbal👍
I’m going to college next year for business, not medicine, but I still love these videos- very helpful
I'm so glad that I found this video.
I had problem reading and studying. Thanks to this video.
Also I had my own tips:
Monday - Friday Is studying don't play games and watch youtube
Saturday and Sunday can play games and watch TH-cam
For the binge-learners:
Copy your notes and make them more concise and explanatory every time.
Depending on the material, you should be able to regurgitate about everything for at least a few hours after one session.
Obviously, take your time and repeat this under less stress if you care to actually know the material long term.
Rewatching lecture material has been extremely helpful for me. I can't pay attention during live lecture and I zone out constantly. Watching the recording allows me to rewind when I zone out and take notes on information I had completely missed cuz I can't stay focused.
Just suggesting a quizlet video because I know they put the new features on it like making “outlines” and the “learn” feature and it’s been something that’s helped me tremendously in pharmacy school. I’d like to see you make a video because I think you could potentially find even more features that I can try out. On a different note, thank you for your videos. They are a great help!
This is amazing for college! I like how u said “down time to do other things..” I work & go to college & I feel like I never have down time for myself :’( I really hope this works so I don’t have to spend hours a day doing hw
Pomodoro is the way to go 🙌🏾
I have watched just about all your videos and I am most excited to watch this one. Some incredible timing considering my mid terms are coming up next week! Thanks for everything over the years doc.
Tip: Use things like daisy chains, diagrams, small doodles (like drawing a mirror and person to show what reflection is) and mnemonics. Try to keep it short and simple. It helps to redraw the diagram on some paper until you can do it without looking at the page.
Example: (Some of this may be incorrect as English isn't my first language)

As a med student myself I agree with all the tips , currently going through exams after 10 months of lockdown and no studying. So repeating all the study materials again and again has been the only thing that's effective in getting familiar with already learnt topics.
I never had problems studying in college. My techniques usually worked out and I could even ace an exam by studying a day before. But ever since I got into med school, it's like I'm constantly experimenting on my study techniques because the ones I did in college doesn't work anymore. The amount of information they expect us to know in med school is just ridiculously humongous! There really is no key but REPETITION (and some mnemonics). Med school literally made me cry and had mental breakdown to the point of almost quitting, but I think back of how my parents work the hardest to send me here and that GOT me to study every time. Someday I'm gonna go back to my parents in the province with MD next to my name. Fighting! ❣
Go, girl!!!
How are you four years later, Miss Zee? Hope you made it!
This video is PACKED with info to look into or expand. I think its a great overview of learning process. Thanks
This was just me when I was a pre-med. But something that I enjoyed doing was actively summarizing the information, then creating a sketch or even a painting to accompany it. Utilizing a visual way of active learning, it was also a great way to utilize that few minute interval between bursts of study time.
Wow!!!! I never thought of this! I’m so excited to try this out!!!!❤
Were you able to get your work done quickly sorry this method??
You are very smart. I am Brazilian and I am studding in The US. I have ADHD and other learning disabilities, so you tips are very helpful. Thank you.

Ok, I thought I knew how to study really well. Did 2 science majors in undergrad with top grades. Back then I watched this video and I was annoyed. Now, in Med school, this video is exactly what the Dr. ordered.
As straight A student
This is what I do
-I pay attention to class(very)
-Before exams I write down all I know for the unit
-When I stuty,I study out loud and sometimes I walk
-I'm not that great at math,when I don't understand something I look up for the topic on google and try to do whatever I can
-Before each exams I pray (most important for me)
-I also got distracted easily so sometimes I put my phone in another room or watch a study with me video so I can study with the person
-When I don't feel like studying,I remind myself why I should study
-I'm not that great smart student in school,a black girl trying her best to be the best
Yo go girl🧚♀️
You will be the best
can you please make a video on how to study for multiple choice questions and what strategies to use during the test.
Always choose C. Except if you know your teacher reads this, then choose A or B. Unless your teacher knows that you know they read this, then stick with C. But if you think they know that you know that they might have anticipated and attempted to counter it by sticking with C, thankfully I’ve got a life hack that counters that as well.
Life Hack:
Say no to meth.
whole time the answer is D. SMH
These responses 🤣🤣
Instead of studying in groups, I do all of it solo, and I find that combining active learning plus after your done with your practice problems or whatever your doing, do another one and act as if you are the one teaching, talking to yourself and just explaining why you got that or why it worked and it helps me retain it really well
It's been over 1 years but I found this today, Believe and hope will suit me best. Watching through this vedeo, I got some great feeling about it.
Guys I'm not in college I'm still a highschool freshman, my last report card wasnt rlly good, my overall grade was 75% and here in my country that sucks it's like B- and a C+ so I'm gonna start using these strategies and I'll update you guys on my next report card grade!
Like to remind me!!
Your voice is very nice to listen to

i typically just type a word and then under it is the most simplified description of it. it makes the brain go crazy remembering the importance of it. also helps if the prof speaks fast.

I know a person mentioned he doesn't really attend classes and do self study. but he has some background in that field already. I think attending uni classes would be so important for understanding and to clarify doubts. As well as to know classmates and to help each other. I feel learning and being in school is precious. So have to treasure the chance to learn.
