Watching several med student study videos, I've reached two conclusions. 1) No one reads the text books. 2) You're going to forget 80% of the smaller details you sucked up for the exam, but keep the big picture clear; that way, details that are encountered again and again have a place to go.
Everything said: 1. Make flashcards DURING your class and lectures. 2. Make rough notes DURING the class, anotate lecture slides, write extra info on the side of the topic in the slides. 3. WRITE WRITE WRITE. It’ll help you remember things better. 4. Highlighting isn’t doing anything. It’s just making you feel like you studied. 5. Create mindmaps after your lectures. 6. Make digital chart notes similar to Cornell note taking method (digital if you want to print out your notes). 7. Use Notion’s toggle features to imitate flashcards.
I haven't studied for a while but I want to get back into self-studying and this video has helped me figure out where I can start. you also gave me motivation to study even when it can be difficult. Thanks girlie!
Sis I'm in 10th grade,when I feel unmotivated I watch study based videos and you're the only youtube channel that motivates me I'm saying this because i want you to know and I really mean it ,you're really a genius ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for the vid it was very helpful! i'm a 1st year Computer Science student and I've been trying things out in the 1st semester, I also strongly prefer Quizlet since it's just way prettier and also more functions and just quicker/easier to use in general. Also, I feel you for oral exams, here in Italy oral exams are so common we have them for almost every class in Uni, for some time I thought we only had them here but I'm glad to see it's not the case😅. My 2nd semester is gonna start next week so I'm checking out some new ways to take notes to prepare, I heard Obsidian is one of the best note taking systems so I'm definetely gonna try it out. Subscribed!
Oh, yeah.....I forgot another one I heard about from Ali Abdaal's channel: His friend uses Google Docs to create documents that are filled with nothing but questions. No need to write extra notes, since all the information is already everywhere. Just write down the questions, and practice from that. I LOVED that idea. I can't wait to try it!
Im going to reference you throughout my psychology career. I came from 3 failed art/philology courses that i did not like, and i had no idea how to study. It was a mess… I´m watching a lot of these videos now.
i have a BAD memory, i studied 90./' of my courses and reviewed them 5 times, after all that i got 8/20......and it's not the first time. what should i do????
Whenever I’m having difficulty remembering something, I talk it out. Literally speaking to myself while using hand gestures as if I’m trying to explain the concept. The moment I can’t remember a detail I look it up on google or textbook/notes. Then I’ll say this new information out loud while ensuring I understand how it’s related to what I was saying. Speaking, helps me notice which pieces of information where most important (like if I had a vocal infliction when saying a specific word). After talking, I draw concepts, write, or get a picture off google to label. I hope that makes sense. My last piece of advice is to switch up the way you review the same concepts. For instance, If you’re only re-reading about DNA replication in your notes, you probably won’t remember much. Watch some animations, pausing in between to make note of the steps. Create flash cards with said steps. Could you draw these steps on your own? What important questions do you think could be asked about the process? Wishing u best of luck❤❤
Idk in which field you are but here is what i do as an Engineering student, ( I not only have bad memory but I’m also diagnosed with multiple sclerosis which also affects my memory) I basically don’t memorize everything !! I understand and relate the concepts , for formulas i memorize two or three main formulas and for the rest i just derive them from the main ( it takes time to derive but now that im used to it I solve faster than the people who memorize) , for the concepts I read the slides and try to understand and then write down what I understood, if I forgot something I right the exact info I forgot 20+ times depends on how many times I forgot, i try to solve many questions and once i get a wrong answer i skim the info and write it 10 times. It works for me and I score pretty well
I’m in DPT school. Flashcards help me a lot, but I can’t type fast enough to make them during lecture time. Also don’t have time to make hundreds of it for each class. My current best method is using white board and markers to recall and write down what I’ve studied. What do you think about this method?
I'm in my second quarter of the year and I JUST realized that it really can be useless to take notes during lectures lol. It's much more better to absorb the information and also create your own study materials (like the flashcards that you mentioned). Thanks for the tips. :D
currently preparing for an exam which will eventually lead me to ace my dream i.e a doctor your advice truely helped me as an indian student xoxo ♥♥♥♥♥
I would just like to give a little feedback tho no one asked :) This video would be so much better if it shows b-rolls more often, that way it grasps the attention of the viewers from start to finish That's all. I don't intend to spread hate :)))
k but how do u know what helps for u? especially when trying to study for end of year exams when you've just done random lots of studying techniques- is it what just feels easiest? feels right / the best? seems to get better results when recalling info in tests etc? also do u mind on doing a vid on like how to best prep for exams + how to feel relaxed and at ease when undertaking an exam etc?
First year Pre clinical Student here (MB.CHB) Not (MD) I struggle with deciding between the lecture material and my textbooks A lot of medical RUclipsrs lean heavily into just learning the material (i.e. Slides & Powerpoints) But does that mean studying texts are a waste of time? Cause they're so large and they take so much time to work through.
I bet it is the worst thing that i have ever done choosing the medical field ,,,,,😂😂😂😂,,,,, i really think i should go and watch some Anime to make me relief from study stress ,😂
“the lecture slides spread out the knowledge”… I am finally vindicated in my disdain for slides, I could cry 😭😭
yeah slides are so worthless for reviews.
I’m in nursing and this advise truly helped me. Thank you ♥️

This is so helpful i’m a Freshman in college so i’ve been really exploring different study techniques to find one that works for me. Thanks ❤
Good luck!!

See which study method works for you in the video
Practice!!! I had a bad memory too no matter how i studied but practicing old exams really helped me

You can have chatgpt make them for you!!
@@vanesapetkova7319 yes! I found out about that, but thanks though !!!!
@@vanesapetkova7319 what do you mean, like the flashcards? What commando are you giving chatgpt.
DPT school was easy for me! I just read the slides and that’s it.
Audio Flashcards are great bc I can talk faster than I can type. They take much less time to make than typing for me.
Saw the desmond hall and clicked!!!!!
