    Hey Ali! You doing this kind of video your way made me enjoy it! It's not just watching a person sitting at the deskwith an in- and outro. I really appreciate the fact that the "Study with me"- vid is authentic, short and sweet. Well done with the time lapses, BUT actually combining the visual with helpful information and insight on how you study yourself is what made it so great!
    Haha, love the fact that you do what you preach, but showing that the struggle is real but so is effective revision :D
    Congrats on the 10k subscribers! Looking forward to the Q&A and your video on note taking after your OSCE!
    I have a question for the Q&A.. On what terms do you decide if you put a topic/questions on a Spreadsheet or on a card via Anki? Can we get your thoughts on that, please?
    Thank you!

    I love how this video shows good revision rather than hours of mediocre revision. I have struggled with comparing the amount of work (or rather hours of revision) I was doing in comparison to my friends. I’ve come to realise the quality of the revision is what counts rather than how many hours you claim to spend doing it.

I tried on other study channels but they all are about notes - taking and stuff... which I hate a lot... I’m not exactly a note - taking person, I’m more of the audio kind of person... So thanks a lot. I definitely can use some of the techniques plus some recording I have taken from a class to reinforce the knowledge I need to learn for class.

    For the Q&A: how do you make flashcards for subjects that aren't so strictly factual as medicine e.g. cell biology ? How do you prioritise and know what is important say in a lecture handout? Do you look at the exam questions at the beginning of each course and address the key themes that come up only? What if there aren't clear patterns/ don't you feel the need to learn all the course in case some of it (that has never come up before) comes up?
