    Based on the community poll earlier this week, many of you are studying a lot but are having trouble with focus/tiredness - so I hope this helps :) as usual, leave a comment below and I’ll do my best to reply!

    I am not a uni student, aim to be a med student one day but just a tenth grader at the moment, trying to manage all my subjects....Reason i clicked on this video is because am studying SST and its SUCH a dry subject that no one is willingly studying it(including me) but i keep trying to gaslight myself into studying it. Rn its summer holidays and i aim to put my max. efforts and go a bit ahead of my teachers as later towards our pre-boards we will get less time. So far from 40mins of focus i improved till 80mins. I seriously want to aim for more than 2hrs of focus(hopefully i do) and thus thank you so much for this video! Its a life-saver!

    • @Salim_Ahmed

      Got a question though. That first strategy where I need to set a deadline to stop studying and give myself an active rest, did u do the second active rest after the deadline or it depends on how I'll manage it?

    • @Salim_Ahmed
      @Salim_Ahmed  4 месяца назад +2

      Yep, so if i had a deadline to stop studying at 10pm, I'd then do the next active rest right after (like practice the piano). I think another important thing i didn't mention in the video for the sake of being concise is that, make the deadline somewhat 'tight' and not too far into the end of the day - otherwise you might end up procrastinating a little bit before the deadline as you've done what you had to do / finished early.

    I recognize the song at the end ! It's the official piano arrangement for the Besaid Island theme of Final Fantasy X. I suppose you played it then.
    I wonder how and when you transitioned from a gamer on a game over 20years old to the discipline behemoth you built your channel on.

    Do you have tips for mmi and interviews ? I got waitlisted to UC Davis vet school and I don’t think I’ll get in this year but hopefully I can get in next year ! They use mmi style interviews

    • @Salim_Ahmed
      @Salim_Ahmed  4 месяца назад +2

      It's been many years since I've had my interviews, but the most impactful thing you can do is just keep on answering questions! This website has a lot of good questions for free - ollieburton.com/feed-articles/2017/8/31/medical-interview-question-bank
      And he's also got a youtube channel with the same name with videos that might be useful for interview prep! Whilst i think they're med school oriented as opposed to vet school, a lot of it can be adapted. But in any case, my biggest tip would be to just keep doing questions, and if there are 'common' questions, have an answer memorised and ready for the interviews (which is what I did). Build a good structure too, like try to follow a point, evidence (your experiences), explanation (what you learnt + how it's impactful upon reflection) for relevant questions. Good luck :)

    Hello Salim, I've watched every one of your videos, and they've helped me a lot. However, I have an issue. When I study, I understand what I am trying to learn, but after reading one sentence, I forget the previous sentence that I learned earlier, and I can't memorize it. Could you please help me out?

    • @Salim_Ahmed
      @Salim_Ahmed  4 месяца назад +1

      Could it be because of going too fast, or perhaps low focus, or even if it's fact-based, using Anki for spaced repetition and active recall is probably a good way to retain the information! As for memorising, active recall and spaced repetition are heavily backed to work. Because yeah it's the same for me at times, when I'm trying to memorize as opposed to just understand, it can often go in one ear and out the other, which is why I make sure to use Anki (not even sponsored by them I just love it) at med school to memorize abstract facts ahaha

    • @ENiTeCHie
      @ENiTeCHie 4 месяца назад +1
