Congratulations from Peru! thanks a lot for this one. I have been teaching writing for international exams but haven't found the tip of two-step outline. Because of the rush, students often confuse brainstorming with the outline process. One last step would be to edit oneself to check grammar or vocabulary issues. Thanks Frank. Love your videos
I actually prefer essay questions and detest multiple choice as they are very tricky. I usually do an outline of what I am going to write about to help me organize my work. Since I know my professor well, I know what he/she is looking for. Give them what they want and you always get the highest grade in the class :)
Hii, can I have a favor? Uhmm iknow im just a stranger but i really want to learn and I am hoping for your response uhhmmm can you give me any or some tittle thats rlly worth and i'll answer it to enhance or improve my grammar and writing skills Im sorry if im requesting a favor coz i inspired you of how good you are
Virtually no one will notice this, but man am I proud of the color grading on this one. Who knew color could be so hard? Btw, I'm doing some more writing over at my personal site: thomasjfrank.com/articles/ - there's no schedule, no way to subscribe yet, and no share buttons. I'm just going to write when I get struck with an idea that doesn't fit here or on College Info Geek. Check if out if you like!
I've already written this but, Thomas, congrats with 1 million! :) P.S. Essays have never been an issue for me. These are the time limits that put a great pressure on you. Thus, no draft should be written, only catchy phrases, ideas and strong points. At least this works when it comes to taking Cambridge exams/ university non-technical exams.
Essay questions are my favourite type of questions. In Finland matriculation exams last 6 hours and you have to answer 6 essay questions. Most of my friends absolutely hated these tests but to be honest, I kinda enjoyed taking them. Also what I find amusing is that in these essays you are supposed to repeat the question. Thesis statements aren't used until in university.
Your channel is one of the best things I found on youtube . It has helped me a lot certainly . Especially the time blocking technique i am using it now and i am to get a lot more work done nowdays . Also you are a motivation.
in our school we use the format of TEEL Topic sentence Example Explanation Link for the two E's doesn't matter how you order them eg: explanation and example. you can also extend yourself by doing topic sentence example explanation example explanation Link only works on body paragraphs
I feel that the explanation should come after example, because you would state something, then explain, not vice versa. Also, a paragraph should generally have one main idea, so 2 examples would be messy
Okay I have a lot of stuff to say 1. Congratulations on 1 million subs!! You deserve every single one.💞 2. I loved the contrast in this video 😍😍 please keep it up. 3. Whoa do you know my assignments? I need to write an essay for my history class today and an essay question is a part of my language exams. I don't hate them though, I can hide the fact that I don't fully understand some points. Thank you!
I'm a big fan of your channel, Thomas! I've followed you for 2-3 years. (I used my old channel to subscribe to you about 3 years ago.) And I found your content very useful. Can you do more videos essay type of exams? I'm very weak at it. I can usually score high in other types of exams but whenever it comes to essay exams, it hurts my overall grades.
Hey thanks.. I think these are the points most ppl miss. I mean one and all study hard. But only a very few think of how to organize ur knowledge for a question. So thank u again for ur great contribution.
Hey Thomas Nice Video. Could you make video improve writing skills ??? I feel that no matter how much books or journals i read, i always have a hard time constructing a good paragraph or sentence.
Hi Frank, Your videos are really useful. Can you make a video on how to pass a verbal exam? In Serbia, most of our exams are verbal. Meaning, we need to know the whole textbook, like you do, but the exams are conceptualized a bit differently - we go into the classroom full of students, and professors call out one by one, and everyone, when it's their turn pulls out 3 questions from a pile of questions. You always have 5-10 min to write a concept, and then give the answers. Of course, professors will usually stop you to ask some sub-questions on the spot. How would you tackle the oral exams? So, it's not 1, it's about 7-12 per year.
Often while writing answers in exams i find it difficult to remember the examples, certain facts, other dimensions of answer, etc. How to remember more what we have learnt and make the most of it while writing answers?
Hii, can I have a favor? Uhmm iknow im just a stranger but i really want to learn and I am hoping for your response uhhmmm can you give me any or some tittle thats rlly worth and i'll answer it to enhance or improve my grammar and writing skills Im sorry if im requesting a favor coz i inspired you of how good u are ..
how does this video have so little views?! This video is so great! You're my role model, and I hope one day we meet because before you my student life was a mess. I can say now I have Good grades, awesome relationships with everybody around me and I have so much fun with friends now! Thanks!
Frank, are you ever planning to visit India, we really need someone like. If you ever plan to do that, please let me know. I am huge fan and learnt a lot of stuff because of you
Hi Thomas, can these tips be extended to a general "open answer" scientific exam? I mean. The question is "Talk about the Lyapunov stability", or "Talk about the closed-loop (feedback) control" or stuff like that.
Great video!! Although I have to mention that tests like the ACT and AP exams don't like five-paragraph essays. They want something more (with the same insane writing limits). I haven't been able to gifure out what that is yet.
Essay questions are the best :D seriously! Now we basically only have essay questions, but in secondary school not so much and now I'm sooo much better! And those are the questions that are a lot closer to what and how school should work in my opinion..
Hi Thomas, was wondering if you could do a video on online studying. I’ve been doing it since I dropped high school at the end of last year and my university is in another state which my parents don’t feel comfortable sending me to cause I’m only 16. I’m just finding really hard to keep motivated and getting my work done. I’m usually really organised but lately I’m finding my self not have a care in the world for anything and am not getting anything done. I work 7 days from the afternoon till night and have been pushed back in my work so much because my mind is not processing anything. Please if you have any tips or advice that would be amazing ! Thank you:)
Try PEEL to write your paragraph
Point:what your idea.
Example:give an example of the idea
Explains: explain the effect and cause of the example.
Link: Connect to the question and your point
can you explain it further?
Sonia Wadhwani so for example:
Point: one cause of world war two was the unfair clauses of the treaty of versailles.
Example,: for example, Germany was named the main reason the war occured even though all countries were participants.
Explain: due to the particitipation of orher countries during the fight hitler could not be the sole blamed party. Moreover, the land taken from germany as well as the high reperations made a ww2 inevitable. The question was a matter of when it was going to happen.
Mines Teel- same idea but we just use Thesis instead of point
@@bethan4770 TEEL
Seel also works
I like how he's very fluent in speaking and is never out of words....so smooth that its so comfortable listening to it...
First rule above all 5 rules: study or there's nothing to write.
haha～
It’s true tho, but you could always atleast like ask your classmates about it before the exams start so you could get inf about it
@@equinox5560 I do that a lot
Yeah, but they don’t tell me the question

Actually, I noticed (but that's because I color grade a lot as a photographer).
Oh yes you are right its colors are coming out.
। Great work keep it up।
Literally scrolled to the comments to compliment the color grading

Thank you for this video!! It was very useful, in my school we have only essay question and it's a disaster everytime
Very helpful, have a writing exam tmw and needed some tips.
I still can't un-hear the fact that we both use 'Tarantulas' by Christian Nanzell as the background music of 90% of our videos. Hilarious.
Rats! You caught me again!

*Can you tell how to make an educated guess*
Got a video in the works about something very similar to that ;)
Thomas Frank Can you tell how to write an answer very effectively.
So basically a hypothesis it’s best to say If Blank Then Blank because blank
Wow... Great lighting and color grade for your video
Thank you so much Thomas. It was such a big help.

Could you do another one of these but aimed towards general essay writing. Especially long form ones, such as disitations.

you are the best, thanks for helping me with a lot of things!!
Seems like it should be the other way around.
1) Demonstrates your understanding of the material, and
2) quick and easy to get through.
Congratulations on 1m. Thomas Frank / Study info Geek 🙌👍
Who else paused on the multiple choice test he was filling out at 0:12 😂
Never pass up an opportunity to put stupid jokes in the b-roll :P
LOVED those jokes on the test. "Trick Question - I don't have a girlfriend"
