he needs to pin this and give you heart with reply
Thank you!
Thanks
Thank you
Everyone has study methods that work well for them. Keep trying different methods until you find what works for you. Good luck 😀🙏🏻
@Jannes Ebeling Just like how we have physical features, music preferences that helps us relax and etc; our brain works a little bit different from others so that the concept of a study method may help everyone, a bit of tweaking and finding the method that works best for you is still the most effective ultimate study method that you should follow.
@Jannes Ebeling yes but no
For example active recall would work with (almost) everyone I've never seen somone who it doesn't work woth but the way they use active recall can be a little different for different ppl
@@heyyy7713 thats what I said, same concept but different approaches
You too
Soo true...
As a pre med student who uses most of their time studying I just recently figured out that I am not studying effectively and with my MCAT right around the corner it’s terrifying to risk changing my study habits because I’ve been getting great results however after hearing thoughts on not writing notes and how it’s been working well for you I’m going to give these tips a try
i suggest not to try new things as you have your exams in the corner
because trying new things if your exams are close will cause inconsistency in your normal way of studying , which as you said gets you good marks as well ( this was suggested by kharma himself btw ) so try sticking with your normal note taking or try if you want to just a suggestion . good luck
i think it would be really cool to try using no notes, let us know how it goes!!
Im in highschool and im really really really wanting to get faster at studying
Oh your so lucky take these notes. Also try to get rid if negative words like terrifying,,, good luck
I've just switched to taking notes on Notion thanks to watching your old video - I'd seen a lot of other TH-cam videos on it but it was your video which really let me see how useful it could be for me and pushed me to try it out. It's changed my life as it means that my notes are well organised and easy to find when I need them (such as when reviewing my answers to past paper questions).
I am in my first year psychology and did the same in the first semester, endless note taking, which I realised after the exams, had been pointless. I now focus on relisening lectures, reading lecture notes and looking at past exam papers.
I'm a 3rd year psych student who struggles with ADHD, so reviewing lectures is a daunting task in itself, however I have noticed that when profs provide a single past paper I understand what I should be studying more clearly and can relate it to the lectures.
Problem for me is, none of my profs provide past papers anymore and I cannot seem to find any that are geared toward psychology, have you managed to find any resources which provide just that? Thanks!
@@InversePacman Hey! I've not been through the UK or US university systems so not sure if this will be relevant or not (I am a psychology student though). When I didn't have access to past papers I would make my own. I'd go through the lectures and think about what the most important things to know seemed to be, then write questions covering those topics and also write out an ideal answer based on the lecture information. Then after a week or two I'd try to answer the questions from memory and compare my answers to the 'ideal answers' I'd written from my notes. If you have friends in the class it can be great if everybody writes their own questions and shares them because then you can see what other people think are the most important points and good answers to these. The first time you do this you could even make a time to talk with the lecturer or tutor to see if you are on the right track in terms of identifying the main things they are looking for.
@@intuitivelyeating6702 I love this, thank you very much and I will give it a go!
Kharma your videos have helped me alot, I discovered your channel in 12th grade and now I am in medicine and anatomy is just alot. The amount of terminology never stops. Your channel and story helps a lot
One of my studying mistakes:
Not knowing for this channel earlier.
Last year and a half of my graduate studies I was so much more productive with less effort by following and listening to you.
I graduated 7 days ago in Computer Science.
Thank you!
@@arpitanand9478 thanks man!
Such valuable tips! I feel motivated and inspired to try different studying technics since I’ve always just wrote notes on paper or the computer. Thanks again Nasir, love your videos and this awesome community! Good luck to everyone else studying and stay safe! ✌️
Great tips! Someone below said this too but I would love to see how you actively study and use past year papers (tips & tricks on this alone). I think the not taking notes part of your video is the hardest to wrap my mind around, for me.
Congrats on the match btw!
Wow. This "not taking notes" thing is so relatable. I recently switched to not taking notes too when I realised the ultimate fellow that assists us in the examination hall is our Brain. All information needs to be stored there, whether through writing notes or directly from text books.
So yea it is a waste of time sometimes and can give you a false sense of accomplishment
Thankyou Nasir for these amazing and lesser known tips 🙏
100% agree!!
Hello Divyani ,
Could you please explain me what was exactly tips he was talking about , i did not quite catch him well. He was just talking about overall knowledge. But i did not understand new mathods. And what kind of technics
Could you tell me what we should do to learn proparly! And what exactly tips we should do and what mistakes we should not!
Thank you in advance
The best possible advice to listen to just before writing my mocks. It just helps relief all the pressure. And just like always, thank you for the great content!! Keep it up
The tips here are very helpful, thanks Kharma. I tried active learning by working on the past year paper but I had the difficulty to answer the questions as I have not mastered the concepts and linkage between the facts. I am wondering if you can make a video showing how you did it with some live examples? Guess it may help others as well. Thanks
amazing video! I reallly liked how this has basically reiterated all the mistakes I also make when it comes to learning. I guess this is a reminder for me to start following what I know works!
I see that jacket Nas 👀. Wonderful videos as always. I especially agree with the fact that past paper questions are essential. I started using them as my main form of learning for my 9th and 10th IGCSEs, when I watched your videos. Thanks you so much !!
Thank you so much! This was very helpful and eyeopening.
i remember watching your channel like wayy back but then it slowly faded away feels so gud to be back
Thanks for sharing your hard earned wisdom, Nasir! Good luck to all my fellow students out there!
These are so insightful!!
This video made my birthday much better! I love Thursdays!
Thank you so much, for giving me a reality check 🙏
Thanks doc! I'll try your tips immediately
This was so helpful! Thank you!
You can’t imagine how blessed we all are to have u here.
Thankyou for being humble - sharing ur personal experiences, alerting & guiding us.
Please do keep on updating us👍🏽
This was great help, thank you!
This video is so good 😊 I really liked it.
Thank You for your great video n life changing motivation ❤️
Man I wish I was as consistent as you with the upload schedule.
Great video as usual 👍🏻
Best tips i've ever received. To be honest im going through the exact same mistakes you did. So, this was a very good mind opening video that can help you change your studying techniques for the best. Thanks Nasir for another grate vid
Really helpful man! And very relatable as well.
man your thought are so universal👍
Hi Nasir, I recognised myself so much in some of the struggles in mentality around studying for exams! It gives me more courage to try different techniques and see what works best. I feel like many are stuck in writing and typing notes and that so much emphasis is on this technique to learn for exams that we forget to study how to study and what works best for ourselves! Good luck to everyone in finding what works best for them! ;)
These are awesome tips ,thanks for sharing 💫
you really helped me bro! thanks..
yay, new content from nasir, im so happy!
Well I did most of it wrong and exactly how you said and am going to have an exam in two days. Watched this video because I felt like I haven't studied at all and just feel bad mentally.
What hurts most is that active learning and spaced repetition are methods that my sister uses all the time. I knew it is better, but I was just stuck on this idea that I need a summary of everything and can only look at the questions / old or example exams if I went "through everything". It's so passive and time consuming but it's easier.
Thank you for your advice. It was important to me to "officially" be called out doing these mistakes / inefficient methods.
Back at it again with another banger! 💥
Your the man. Needed these ideas been lacking on study’s just started college. Can work out for hours no problem but learning medical info an issue after two hours XD. This helped a lot 🤙🏻
Thanks for sharing this. Thought I’d do the same a little study group of mine teach the others out weakest areas e.g. I would teach an area of linguistics that I’m not confident with so the person in the group who is confident can tell me if I’ve fully understood it. We also teach each other what we’re really good at so the others can learn from us. It works really well and you learn a lot of extra skills too. To teach is to learn.
i agree that that doing pyqs in order to understand the pattern of question and brushing up those particular topics could be beneficial.
Much needed guidance.
A lot of really useful information and tips , thanks for sharing
5:04 “and reflecting on” 😂 love that cool effect!
Almost a Million Subscribers!! Yay!! Been here since 300K
BANGER!!
The most thing I really guilty is taking notes, don't want to use active recall(cuz think taking note are more efficiently), and holding up using past paper(I mean by such as you said need to cover all the lecture note first then can use past paper). Thank you soo much for making this video that makes me realize it🤧
Will definitely try the past paper method. Thanks 💕
After studying several years i have Also come to same conclusion. For me too it was hard to move on from my passive way of acquiring and testing knowledge.
Make a video on different study techniques and who should choose which one according to their personailities
AMAZING..... I love watching your videos
I like to take notes when the class is extremely boring, it helps me focus
Thank you so much!!
This man is really boon for students.
Hey Doc 🙌🏻
Nice video, thanks!
I had the same problem with hand written notes, so I tried not taking them and unfortunately with engineering degrees writing is a must.. it sucks how much time it takes but drawing diagrams, writing formulas and definitions is the only way I can understand and learn
Do what works for you. He said that himself.
Thanks for the amazing vid
great video, gave few insights
Hey Naser I really love your content you have really motivated me to study and work hard. I'm a gr8 student from South Africa and I want to become a phycologist
Honestly your videos help me a lot especially keeping track of my to do lists, having a study schedule and many more. TBH I learned a lot from you Nasir. I love this channel, thank you for sharing this to us. Road to 1M subscribers✊
Thank you kharma medic
Finally.... I have been waiting for this vedio for the past 2 hours
Keep going kharma medic
Love from India 👍👍
It is so useful!
I don't take notes anymore either! The only thing I write down is concepts I haven't understood yet. So, drawing out hormone interactions, any sort of anatomy that i haven't fully grasped yet. Apart from that, everything else goes straight to Anki!
Thanks for sharing
Hi Doc it's sai from the India. Your videos are precise and come out when it's much needed. Thank you
Peace✌️✌️✌️
.
Hi! I have a request for you. After your experience with the USMLE steps and the new study’ techniques; If you would need to take the the Step 1 now.
How would you do it? What would be your plan or your study schedule? Would you use the same resources?
“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”
Excellent video. I have observed this myself
Even I am like let me go through everything and then I will do the past papers and the result is that I can never complete them! I feel kinda scared doing the papers first but I guess I’ll give it a try!
Absolutely Love these videos!!🧡
in fact when doing the past papers first youll know what is most important when reading lectures or literature and youll recall that what you read/went through it in the past papers
The biggest mistake I use to make was just writing down the notes in a lecture. This made it so that I was focused on transcribing most of the time, but it did not make me learn.
We need a vlog now 😁
Great tips. You can apply these to law also. I will be starting lawschool in a few months. Great tips.

Hi! Great point! Please make time stamps for them. Most of your other videos have them :)
Thank u very much❤
Thank you. It is a very useful vedio
I wish I could help people like you 🧿🧿
Study method question for medical students here; Suppose there's a topic I don't know, do I
A) tackle questions on it by simply going through the material and finding the answer, or
B) should I read material first?
I'm stuck with a subject I frequently see questions I don't know the answer to, and if I read passively I'll eventually get bored and quit it.. Kharma, your videos always make me think about the ways I study, thanks a lot.
Soon 1m ❤️🔥
Felt nostalgic seeing UofT class codes (HMB265 and BIO230). :')
This banger is gonna make us hit 950K subscribers 🥂🥳🥳
Way to 1 million subscribers🤯
guys we are soooo close to 1 mil, lets get this done already!
شكرا 🌸
Thank you 👀
For my tax law exam i did past papers quite in the beginning when i started to study for this exam and i felt sooo stupid coz i didnt knw everytng, it took me sooo long to do those exams etc bt that was the best waay to study sooo much more efficient cz then i know where to focus etc. i got 95% with this technique
Hi Naser, since the y11 igcse exams are soo close,i was wondering if you could possibly talk about your own experience and study schedule routine and some advice... thankyou
reflecting on :3
Damn this is super late . I needed this earlier
Thank you
Hey Nasir! I've been stuck in a rote loop. I don't know how I can get out of it. Rote loop + passive learning. Right after the exam, everything I studied is poof, gone from my head, I end up spending hours and hours again on the same topic for the next bigger exam. I have big exams coming up, I'm desperate to do well but nothing stays in my head with the large content for a long time, how can I help myself? Loved this video and rest of your content😊
can't wait to see more study vlog...............................
What's this music? Nasir, i'm gonna cry. LOL Ur using these so much.
Im in high school i have no other option other than rote memorization and preparing for my med school entrance exam
past papers are great but i feel like without background knowledge and base its not efficient at all. i’d recommend past papers when medical school content becomes recycled bc u already learned the material u just need a refresh and practice.
I never took notes and did surprisingly well on my exams. I thought I was lucky now I realize why look
