I also apply the 5 minute rule but I strongly recommend not setting an alarm. Because the whole deal is that when you start doing something, you won’t notice as the time flies. However, when you set an alarm, you will be reminded that you can quit what you are doing.
I respect that - good point , distractions can cause you to lose focus however, the precedent is strong. When you know there is an option to quit and you progress on anyways it can be quite liberating and rewarding - what do you think is a better way to implement the rule without an alarm ? May help me improve on the message!
1. Flow state is EXACTLY why you should pick a major you actually enjoy and not what ur parents picked😂😂 NB: I’ve been to medical school and law school and dropped out of both. My parents hate me, but I’m studying economics and i like it. 2. I’m an active recall expert so BIG warning!! I learnt active recall when I was young and started using it for major exams. That made me lazy since I’d discovered how to learn what I specifically need during exam period and, as the years went by, I FORGOT how to study AS A WHOLE! Ended up not being able to read a book that’s not manga for more than a minute without my brain yelling at me unless i was reading what I specifically needed for a test. Now I’m trying to unlearn hence how i found this😂 Lastly, THANKS FOR ALL THE TIPS!!❤️
Happy yo help - and yes it is SO IMPORTANT to do what YOU love, at the end of the day you'll be the one doing the job - not the people you are trying to impress!
So in my end of year exams for year 12 I got AABB (highest grade was an A as it was AS LEVEL) My predictions were: A*A*A and A* prediction of EPQ (and this was what I achieved as my final grades too)
Hardest exam I ever sat: USMLE STEP1 Focusing for 8 hours requires exquisite planning ahead of time of exactly what to eat and when to ensure uniformly good focus throughout (due to fluctuations in blood glucose levels). Practice runs where you simulate all variables are great for identifying gaps in your preparations.
10000% yes - spend the next few weeks SOLELY doing every single past paper / practice question out there and track your progress - for the modules / specification points you're doing worse in , you can dedicate revision time to - with time you will rapidly improve as long as you do this consistently!

So during a-levels I literally just did past papers and past papers, but flashcards (online) are excellent - they do take some time to make though and not sure you can do them all in 3 weeks - for a-level, you don't need to re-invent the wheel / remake notes/ q's - there's SO MANY questions to utilise active recall with that you don't really need to make your own / make flashcards: basically - just do every single past paper and track progress - at uni , use anki/notion etc - I'll discuss in a future video!

You sir are a legend - thank you ! 🙌🤩

@@FarisDent yes, so important. And thanks again 😊
can you feel my heart tho
i dont feel anything
I am my greatest enemy💀 literally rewriting everything and remember nothinggggg😭
Anytime you get the urge to do that come back to 4:41 as a reminder 🤣
Editing this video must have taken so long, but all worth it! Another banger mA! 😍😍
Oh my *SOOO LONG*
I did interview prep with faris and went to his webinar and I got 3/4 offers this year for dentistry including kcl! Grateful for his advice 🙌🏼
Woo that’s what we love to hear!
what grades were you getting in year 12 though for predicted grades and how did u write ur personal statement?

Thank you legend 🙌
QOTD: What was the hardest exam you sat and what did you learn from it?
Hardest exam I ever sat: USMLE STEP1
Focusing for 8 hours requires exquisite planning ahead of time of exactly what to eat and when to ensure uniformly good focus throughout (due to fluctuations in blood glucose levels). Practice runs where you simulate all variables are great for identifying gaps in your preparations.
love that - practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect.
we need a situational judgement video for the ucat, mwah love ya
Maybe 👀
Very useful tips and great presentation - I'll probably come back go this video a lot haha
Yes ! Love to hear that - let me know if you want anything else covered 🤩
Really eye opening and different way to approach study!!
Happy to be of assistance
yesss flow state is the one
It is a life saver - I always get into it when I’m editing videos 🤣 - so we’ll see if it pays off
Great vid and great advice, thanks Faris! Good luck to all my fellow students out there!!
Thank you ! And yes good luck in your exams everyone 🤩
This is so good omg!
Thank you kind sir - I will be adding to these tips after our next link up 😂😍
me who doesn’t study and still watching this ☠️
😂😂😂
Is there still enough time to get A and B s in A levels with 3 weeks remaining ?
10000% yes - spend the next few weeks SOLELY doing every single past paper / practice question out there and track your progress - for the modules / specification points you're doing worse in , you can dedicate revision time to - with time you will rapidly improve as long as you do this consistently!

@@FarisDent hi thanks, what did you use for active recall - flashcards ?
So during a-levels I literally just did past papers and past papers, but flashcards (online) are excellent - they do take some time to make though and not sure you can do them all in 3 weeks - for a-level, you don't need to re-invent the wheel / remake notes/ q's - there's SO MANY questions to utilise active recall with that you don't really need to make your own / make flashcards:
