You just described my experience, I’m somehow a perfectionist in my studies (mostly OCD related), which is a waste of time and effort, and the only way I could get my GPA higher is only by flipping my learning from (listening to lectures -> memorizing-> solving questions) to (listening to lecture ->Solving questions-> studying weak points).. and sometimes I do questions before even listening to lectures. This method only does the job for me
1. Goal of Study. Must be Specific, Measureable, Achieveable, Relevant, and Time-bound. 2. Pragmatic Practice Make sure to practice at the level you expect to operate or be examined on. A higher level is also appropriate. 3. Feedback What are the learning points/mistakes/unintuitive data gathered from your practice sessions? How will you incorporate these learning points into your next session for greater efficiency? 4. Volume Greater efficiency allows an increase in practice density, which greatly increases skill and experience.
5:30 makes a great sense, because before you sit to study. Finding your purpose and questioning the basis of why you’re doing it can help you make connection with what you have learned and the initial reaction /purpose you have created in the beginning. Therefore every time that information pops up, you can go back to the feeling of that purpose?
LEARNING POINTS - explanation The speaker in the video defines "learning points" as the specific things you need to learn and memorize within the context of your studies. They are not general knowledge, but rather the specific pieces of information that are relevant to your exams or the skills you need to develop for your profession. The speaker emphasizes that learning points are different from general knowledge because they are: * Applicable: They are directly relevant to the specific tasks or situations you will encounter in your studies or career. * Contextual: They are shaped by the specific context of your learning environment, such as the types of questions asked on exams or the skills required in your clinical rotations. The speaker suggests that identifying and memorizing learning points is crucial for several reasons: * Improved performance: By focusing on the most important information, you can improve your exam scores and develop the necessary skills more efficiently. * Increased speed and efficiency: By having the most relevant information readily available in your memory, you can think and act more quickly and effectively. * Better decision-making: Having a strong foundation of applicable knowledge allows you to make better decisions, both in academic settings and in your future career. The speaker also provides a practical tip for identifying learning points: If you can easily access and understand the information without taking notes, you probably don't need to memorize it. However, if you find yourself struggling to remember or understand something, it's likely a valuable learning point that should be recorded and reviewed. Similar Concepts: * Active Recall: This learning technique involves testing yourself on information to identify gaps in your knowledge and strengthen your memory. * Metacognition: This refers to the ability to think about your own thinking processes, including identifying your strengths and weaknesses as a learner and developing effective learning strategies.
The core idea is to focus on identifying and learning from your mistakes rather than trying to learn everything in the textbook. Here's a breakdown of the method: * Define Your Purpose: * Clearly define your learning goals. Instead of vague goals like "becoming a doctor," focus on specific, immediate objectives like "passing this exam" or "mastering a particular skill." * Practice: * Engage in active learning activities, such as practicing questions, performing simulations, or working on real-world problems. * The key is to do rather than just read. * Identify Learning Points: * Don't try to learn everything. Focus on the specific concepts and skills that you struggle with. * The speaker suggests a simple rule: If you can easily access and understand the information without taking notes, you probably don't need to memorize it. * Learning points are context-specific and should be directly relevant to your learning goals. * Understand and Memorize Learning Points: * Once you've identified your learning points, actively work to understand and memorize them. * This will allow you to: * Increase speed and efficiency: Quickly access relevant information when needed. * Make better decisions: Apply your knowledge effectively in different situations. * Repeat: * This is an iterative process. As you practice and gain experience, you'll continue to identify new learning points and refine your understanding. Key Takeaways: * Focus on skill and experience, not just knowledge. * Identify and learn from your mistakes. * Don't try to learn everything; focus on the most important concepts. * Active learning is crucial. The speaker emphasizes that this method is not about following a specific study schedule or using particular techniques. It's about developing a mindset that prioritizes active learning, critical thinking, and continuous improvement.
in short: - Make sure you are learning something specific - Move to practice from the start - Focus is on building skill and gaining experience, not on knowledge - Identify what holds you back, your weaknesses or lack of informations; Understand it and memorize. - Observe how your practice gaining speed and keep going - You will make better decision over time.
You can't, some professors teach based on what they think is important in their professional life and some teaches based on what they think you need to know. You must therefore flip it around, first figure out yourself what you need to know and then attend your lectures to take what you need. / If you can't access that memory, it simply means you don't know it well enough. Spaced repetition and more practice is the way to good. Just stay calm, have belief and keep going. Remember, with any method, you will get better at it overtime and it will become more and more effective for you.
This is how I understand it: They're just gaps in your knowledge/skill base. Essentially, they're relevant for feedback. If you're doing practice tests, the learning points would be incorrect rationale for reaching any solution. If you're doing OSCE practice, the learning points would be mistakes made in technique or comments you've failed to mention or not understanding the relevance of certain techniques impacting your efficiency. If you're on rounds being questioned on your patients, the learning points would be information that's unintuitive or you just didn't know. Learning points as described this way don't seem to be a game changer, we all intuitive get some general understanding of this concept before med school.
Thank you for your valuable sharing. I recently took an open exam, which I haven't had enough time to finish. Now I realize how useful your advice is.But may I ask where does this theory or knowledge come from? Personal experience alone or a combined result of some books? Just out of curiosity.

How sweet, we're so similar, I also failed 2 years of med school and now I can proudly say that it is my final year ❤ so it's possible, folks
1. Goal of Study.
Must be Specific, Measureable, Achieveable, Relevant, and Time-bound.
2. Pragmatic Practice
Make sure to practice at the level you expect to operate or be examined on. A higher level is also appropriate.
3. Feedback
What are the learning points/mistakes/unintuitive data gathered from your practice sessions? How will you incorporate these learning points into your next session for greater efficiency?
4. Volume
Greater efficiency allows an increase in practice density, which greatly increases skill and experience.
5:30 makes a great sense, because before you sit to study.

15:14 I feel so much less alone in this now😭 Thank you so much for this whole video

@@PeterIntrovert thank you
Thanks for your video, Tian!! No bullshits, straight to the point, And I love it. ❤️❤️
Great video, thanks for sharing your methods
recognized your thumbnail genius and had to support your hustle.
Thank you Tian. I'm saving this.
How can I figure out if something a professor said is considered very good? Also, how can I figure out if I can't access "that" memory easily?
You can't, some professors teach based on what they think is important in their professional life and some teaches based on what they think you need to know. You must therefore flip it around, first figure out yourself what you need to know and then attend your lectures to take what you need. / If you can't access that memory, it simply means you don't know it well enough.

Can someone explain the purpose part im stuck and exhausted i currently gave my first year examines
So you got your degree in 6 months?
Can you provide examples of these learning points? I don't quite understand what these are especially in medical field
This is how I understand it:
They're just gaps in your knowledge/skill base. Essentially, they're relevant for feedback.
If you're doing practice tests, the learning points would be incorrect rationale for reaching any solution.
If you're doing OSCE practice, the learning points would be mistakes made in technique or comments you've failed to mention or not understanding the relevance of certain techniques impacting your efficiency.

This was really good content I learned that
sorry got distracted-taking time to figure out why you're learning is really important to studying
Thank you for your valuable sharing. I recently took an open exam, which I haven't had enough time to finish. Now I realize how useful your advice is.But may I ask where does this theory or knowledge come from? Personal experience alone or a combined result of some books? Just out of curiosity.
Would be nice to know all the apps you use for Qbanks
Love your work by the way
Quesmed
