I like highlighting, not as a technique on its own but as the initial step when reading. When I skim and see material for the first time, I highlight as I go, and later, when I’m making my notes/actually studying, it helps direct my brain to where key concepts are
Edit to add: I think that a lot of the low tier methods are useful for initially getting concepts into my head, and then moving on to higher tier helps solidify everything and fill in details that weren’t essential to understanding the overarching main concepts. I can’t get to the higher tier methods without the low tier methods
I do the same and completely agree! low tier for when I'm first getting introduced to the info, then higher tier like blurting & practice tests once I'm more confident about everything hahaha
Completely agree! I’m studying educational sciences at the moment and what Jade is telling is exactly what I learn in uni, but on the other hand I personally use low tier more just for learning information first and then maybe high tier for practicing/studying for tests (if I get to that😅)
Precisely.
So true! Well said!
I'm a visual so that helps sink the of theory I would be studying in my memory, quite decent for my learning...
who also loves to watch Jade before the new school year starts ?
MEEE🙋🏾♂️
Bruh still in my second sem😭

Meee 💯
I do😊
Highlighting should be in Meh. Depends how you use it, if it's end up in a coloring book yes it's a waste of time.
Highlighting can also be a first step making a summary or making Anki / Flashcards notes from them.
During a class you don't have time to make flashcards, but you can already highlight important sections / keywords to transform later in flashcards
Highlighting can be in any category depending on how one uses it. When I read a chapter for the first time I usually highlight any imp definitions/terms/formulae from it. So it helps me spot them later on and I don't have to flip through pages to find stuff. And when I'm short on time I can just go through the highlighted parts. ✌
I agree 💯. It can even be used to create a summary of a seemingly lengthy topic
i personally use it to highlight the important bits in a paper to summarize and my notes to summarise my notes for before a test
Highlightning isn't even a study technique, it is only something apart, not really useful (for me), there are people who like it, there are people who don't like it
I think highlighting is just too much work if you need to read a lot of text in a short amount of time, especially if you're reading off of a device where highlighting isn't as simple as on paper (you have to click all sort of buttons just to highlight something the color you want).
Also important to remember that some study techniques (watching videos, explaining to others, etc) develop your understanding in a way that might not be assessed by exams. On the other hand, things like past papers are good at preparing you for an exam but might not be that useful for actually increasing your understanding.
I see your point of view, but would creative, difficult questions be a great revision method? I mean, it's situations which are complex and require a new perspective that really engage us to use our previous understanding to reach a different, innovative conclusion (in my opinion). Don't you think that too?
What struck me is how different techniques have been useful to me at different points in my academic career. At a levels, I made flash cards with exam questions on one side and mark scheme answers on the other side. It was super helpful and I got 100% on 2 different exams using this technique. However at uni, it's about understanding, and only 40% of my grade ever came from exams, so it was about deeply understanding thee topic and reading beyond the scope of the lectures, then past papers and flashcards to revise.
For my high school science class she made tests where we had to apply our knowledge, and a lot of kids got bad grades (including me once) because they just memorized the study guide questions
@@thetillerwiller4696 Interesting. In the UK (a levels specifically) your entire grade comes down to a few final exams which are all anonomysed and graded by teachers all around the country according to a very specific mark scheme, so you could answer a question correctly but not get any points for it because you didn't use the exact words/examples specified in the mark scheme. So in the UK memorisation is the best way to pass your high school exams, but I have gone to school in Australia, New Zealand and Ireland, all of which this is much less the case, so it really depends. I think your teachers approach sounds better-the most important things really are deep understanding, problem solving and critical thinking, none of which are particularly well accomplished by A levels
This woman is the embodiment of casual magic! 🌻 It is so interesting to learn about cognition and cognitive development. Hope you have a wonderful rest of your day, Jade. 🤗
for me rewriting notes is also quite helpful. it does take a lot effort but has helped me for a lot of exam, especially if you add any new connections you made, make it more colourful or formulate messy notes into full thoughts. so, in class i try to collect as much information as possible, on my laptop and later i make it aesthetic and understandable. i does take a lot of time and effort tho, so its not that efficient but especially in school before and exam it really is worth it.
I feel like the best way to know what study technique really works for you is by trying them all and seeing what fits best for you
After years of looking through all the study methods and 101s of memorization, and I think I'm still learning and always will be because there is no end to learning, I've come up with the techniques that best fit my own needs and style of learning (let's not forget that different topics and majors require different efforts in different areas, a medical student and a mathematics student will NOT approach their topics the same way)
As a medical student i will speak for myself and show my process of studying as an example, and funnily almost all of the techniques in the video are included to some extent. Flexible queen ik
1- The first encounter: This is either when I try (on rare occasions) to prepare for a lesson, or on the spot in from of my lecturer, and that is thus when my knowledge of the topic is between 0-10% (sometimes more if it's a familiar subject to me) and my main goal then is to grasp a general idea and understanding, not to learn, not to totally understand it and go out of the lecture like the Dr.House I think I am, just a general understanding to not be overwhelmed later on on the more serious steps of studying.
And thus the mains study methods here are:
-Attending the lecture
-Watching brakedown videos or videos aimed at non-doctors
-Browsing Wikipedia and Articles (just the summarized part unless I get very absorbed)
-Taking passive notes that I'd never look at again, because their purpose is for me to break down the title of the course to a few key points.
2- The deeper look: Here, I have an idea of the course, the depth of the knowledge I have will depend on the previous step and it goes for about 20-50% and even 100% sometimes. Depends on the topic really, but regardless of how much I know the main topic I appreciate this step because it makes the coming ones even easier. Here I would take my poor highlighters that the whole study community hates, a bunch of textbooks and lecture paper and get it on with the massacre.
It's a very passive step and not something I go in and out of thinking I know the topic by heart, but it's also the most important one for me to be able to learn and actually memorize things. Because that's when things start making sense and the deep understanding of a topic in my opinion can help you memorize it easily because all those dots connecting will make it tightly stuck in that brain.
3- Hell pt1: (because I hate learning) So, buy this point the grasping of the topic is at 100% for sure, the memorization is also about 20% just from those deep dive into the abyss of textbooks and papers. But 20% won't suffice my dear fellows, so comes the next step, right after taking the deep look, and it's also very different depending on the topic:
-Blurting
-Test questions (sometimes as a way to know what to focus on or to learn all together)
-Giving that poor teddy bear another lecture he didn't ask for
-And or the rarest occasions, making a couple flashcards on the points that won't get through no matters how hard i try
4-Hell pt2: this is a more practical way of remembering, because it is imposed by the environment, like being in the hospital and dealing with patients and having to really recall the information, or back in high school it was making school projects/ essays and so on that would form another layer of revision, and while it's not a voluntary effort I like to count it because it's an effort and it sometimes helps most to give life to all that knowledge and for my part it's what often allows me to remember things for long periods of time.
5- Vulgarisation: it's a step that comes later on, after being familiar with the topic and remembering it quite sufficiently, I won't keep on looking at it like that 50 page lecture, but rather squeeze it down the the informations that will be essential to me in the future (and in exams because I've got to pass it for said future) and that's where High yield notes come into play, making those 50 page lectures into sweet 5 pages of general knowledge to keep next to me while I do test questions and my flashcards.
Edit: the high yield notes often come from others students sharing them or platforms like osmosis, I rarely make them myself
These 4 steps usually suffice for me to get >80% in the exam all the while being sure I will have long term knowledge of the things I studied
TLDR: the steps
1- Breakdown videos/articles
2- Thicc textbooks and highlighters
3- Exam questions, blurting, some flashcards (but we hate them)
4- Practice
5- High yield notes and more exam questions
I just love the way it's written
I'm learning French at the moment and my adhd brain loves duolingo. It can be competitive and challenges me to keep learning and repeating and correcting mistakes. Every mistake costs you one of five hearts and it makes me realise when I need to put the app down. I can hyperfixate on tasks and the longer I do so I make more careless mistakes. I don't even want to pay for the Pro version. Losing all of my hearts tells me when to take a break!
I have adhd too and Duolingo is the exact same for me! Although, sometimes I’ll fixate on it for days and then not do any for ages so it’s a double edged sword haha
@@katnisseverdeen5466 I feel like I experience the same thing gosh darn it. When I leave it for a long time I try to recall everything I learnt and write it all down. It kinda kicks everything back in before I start again.
With duolingo I can't help but enjoy the little animations and the stories. There's enough on the app to keep me entertained for long periods of time :)))
If only there was a Duolingo for math 😩 I love math but I hate studying it
100%!! as i mentioned in my criteria, my ranking is solely based on learning for an exam (but not deeper understanding) 💌
@@cyanidesungrl Try Brilliant
I started using blurting as soon as I saw Jade using it for her GCSEs and I honestly swear by it!! I just got an 83% in my masters (UK) and genuinely think it's because of blurting! I also would sit by myself and verbally explain concepts or do presentations to an imaginary friend who knows nothing about the topic - it helped so much! :D
Our son just achieved all A* GCSEs and your book was a much used and fantastic resource. So very grateful. Will continue to follow your channel and progress in life. Our very best wishes.
I actually like to watch youtube videos as a form of revision. It helps me remember the information both visually and auditorily, and sometimes I end up remembering a whole video really quickly, which helps tremendously when i'm revising for an essay.
I only followed the spaced repetition technique before but when I heard about blurting method from a previous video of Jade,I started using that as I watched it and that really works it's as worthy as spaced repetition technique sooooo I highly recommend blurting method to anyone who hasn't used it already. Love you Jade so much ♥♥♥
i have been using 'blurting' since 8th grade and it's been very effective, it's actually my main study technique i have recently now added flashcards to my study schedule :)
teaching others is literally the best one. especially if they don't know anything about your subject. you gotta have such an essential understanding of your topic in order to explain it deeply and answer questions.
no way, jade! i was just watching your videos thinking “oh i’d love to see her talking about different study methods” and there it is! greetings from germany x
Teaching others is Magic for suuuuure. When you speak with someone who knows the subject aswell, he can point out your mistakes or your gaps. Most of all it improves your confidence, you feel clever, you see that your revisions weren't useless and i think confidence is huge concerning passing exams and having the motivation to work
The only method that really worked for me in school was to rewrite everything in my own words and then basically practice it word for word like presentation, so the notes manifest in your head as if you have a picture of your notes. Great for short term studying for tests etc. I will now start studying and I know this technique will be way too time investing to do long term so I’m hoping to find some other techniques that are helpful😃
Omg thats how I usually too and I agree this method is really time consuming
Highlighting is actually helpful, I only highlight things that I am bound to forget and it has helped me remember some few things. However only highliighting and using that to revise is indeed dangerous. However doing it the right way can minimise your effort on taking notes and doing other things (making flashcards) etc.
Blurting and past papers, my fav! : )
Blurting, talking to myself or friends & past papers for sure
I'm going to start school next week so thank you for this video! As an IGCSE student your content has been veryy helpful, even you regular videos would give me motivation to improving myself, thanks Jade 💛💛
In defense of markers: I have an easier time concentrating when marking as opposed to just reading the text. I'll barely remember anything I've read long term though
i literally love you jade, what an incredibly useful video
All the english students defending highlighting with there lives. Fr though how would a maths student use highlighting affectively 😭,
I’m a bit confused on why rereading notes is a waste of time because that uses the same principle as spaced repetition you go over your notes when you start to forget informations and then you consolidate with some flash cards
I be happy if you can answer my question Jaden and thank you for the video
Spaced repetition forces you to actively try recall information from memory, whereas rereading notes is just relooking at the information.
For example, perhaps you're studying materials science, and a few days after learning the steel phase diagram you may get prompted "what is the eutectoid temperature of steel?" and you have to try recall it. Whereas rereading notes would just be relooking at your notes for the answer, much less active.
Jade I really love your energy and the way I smile and feel happy while watching your videos. I wish the best for you.
This came just when I needed it 😊 thank you Jade ❤️
You’ve literally helped me more than any of my teachers ever have, thank you so much for your videos
Jade, you're the best!!! not just about this video, but about all. hugeee thank you for your motivation, tips and just for your human being
thank you jade for sharing this video. i was really having a hard time with my studying and this will help a lot
I've found that highlighting is great for me - colour coordination specifically. Teaching others is also a method I really love! These two helped me to receive good grades - everyone is different!
Love this! I actually learn really well when I first revisit notes and then after interleaving do blurting!
What a load of crap
my God, I have vacation an still Jade motivaties me to prepare for the next year of school and makes me exited to learn 🤗 thank you so much Jade! This is just the energy I need in my life ❤
This is the first time I heard about blurting! Will definitely use your tips to study better! Thanks so much 💗
I am 16 and struggling with lot of bad stuffs that jst ruins my study schedule and mannn!!! can't thank you enough! each and every video of urs jst makes me productive instantly....!!! And i love watching
Love you Jade ❤️
Yo same
this is so helpful, tysm!! your videos always make me feel assured and confident about the upcoming academic year :)
Watching your videos made think of learning more as still or a power rather than as just a means to a goal!! I love this perception!🥰
Lately you have been posting a lot more and I love that✨🌻
I recently read a few meta-analysis of study techniques, and "blurting," is essentially a form of free-response .
The studies I read said that test based studying is by far the best method, with free-response being superior to multiple choice, but multiple choice being superior to other methods, BUT multiple choice + free response dominating.
"Pre-testing," is also powerful because it lets you know what you don't know, so you can focus on your weak points.
Really love watching your videos.. I've got exams starting tomorrow and your videos have helped so much the last 2 years❤️
jade, i’m so grateful for this video!!! 🙏🙏🙏 thank you so much!!!!
omg i used to love watching this channel but it stopped coming up in my recommended. honestly i’m so happy this video came up! using those same tips i literally agree with you on everything.
with some of them like highlighting - even though it’s a complete waste of time - i always like to just highlight key words or definitions in my notes or on the textbook as it helps with remembering those words but i would never use it as a technique of its own!
Notes are my best study method, because it helps me recall the fact that I wrote a definition or a certain word down, also my English isn't very strong so when a teacher uses a word, I know I'll not remember it when revisiting it so I write it in my own words, so yeah for me notes have helped me get through stuff
I’ve watched your videos when I took A levels in 2020-2021 and I got A* in Food Studies. I’m going back to your channel because I need help with my degree! Thank you so much Jade✨
Super interesting video and so many study techniques that I didn't thought of 🌸 .I have to say, though, that the efficency of some of them rely on each person/experiene and way of learning. For instance, my most used way is visual memory, so highlighting and re-reading notes works best for me. I just know the exact place of the sheet where the information I want is and I easily associate colors to "x" content, so revising the paper structure is very useful. I also have little time to study or struggle concentrating for long periods of time (most times I don't do revising, which I really recommend), so I usually separate my notes/textbook in parts and when I have 1 part perfectly understood/memorized I go for the second one not without going back to the first. It's like adding always information and also associating similar contents between the parts. I don't do the third pard without going back to the first and second, and so on. I also dedicate limited time to each part, so I don't spend that much time even not having it all right. Some other techniques that I find effective is telling out loud the information as if you where explaining to someone else but alone, it really helps me to have a mental plan and organizing it while I'm trying to remember all contents (it's similar to the one of writing down info but without writing, as I said I don't have much time). And one of my tops ones is summarizing as much as possible large amount of contents. If you have a lecture of 60 pages, try to reduce it by 10 as maximum. Just keep it simple and your brain will thank you for it. It also depends on what content it is. If it's vocab, flashcards are the ones to go, but if its a huge subject, flashcards won't work. These are the ones that work for me and it really have got me to the highest grades with the minimum effort (regarding time), as I had to find a method that allowed me to do college, music conservatory and the same time working. But as I said, it's experience and understading what is easier for you :). Thanks again Jade! I have always found very interesting everything related to education and studying.🌻
First video I’ve watched from Jade and she is fabulous and so well spoken! 😁💕
Thank you jade, this video made me discover new techniques that I've never heard of before
I'm starting college in a few weeks. So, Jade tier ranking study techniques? I'm all here for it! 🙌
Great video. Active recall and encoding ftw 🙌
For me, the one that has worked the most has been teaching; ever since I began learning Math, I always tried to help my peers; yet, they sometimes came up with questions that I really did not know the answer to. Thus, I decided to do my research to be able to answer that one question: sometimes I spent hours reading encyclopedias and books while imagining myself explaining the topic to anyone and foreshadowing the questions they might have. Currently, I can answer most of the questions they might have. Why does the formula work? Why was it created? How do you apply it to the real world? Why is math "right"?
Now, I understand that this technique is actually not going to be efficient when it comes to studying for a test. In my opinion, teaching is only helpful if you want to be an expert in the long-run, but at first one could feel more confused than ever. Teaching will not help you to memorize things fast enough for a test you will have next week, but it can prepare you for a Math competition you will have next year, for example.
Overall, I really enjoyed the video! 😭
Actually it really can pepare for a test next week and help a lot remembering! Keep up the good work 😊
Omg found your channel after such along time thank god
Never again. I am subscribing right now.
26 year old here starting uni in a couple weeks. Came across your channel 2 weeks ago and I'm currently reading your book. You've completely changed my perspective on studying and being prepared for exams. Thank you Jade ❤️
What subject are you going to study at University?
Thank you for the video. Love you Jade.
Loved your video Jade😍😍 very informative!! Learnt quite a bit!! Would it be possible for you to make a video on you giving travelling tips and ideas?
v much enjoyed this! spaced repetition is definitely something i want to employ because my memory is so bad lol. i also think that listening to music is great for maths. if i'm practising the same skill, different contexts, to help myself recall the process in an exam, music makes it bearable and enables me to keep at it for 2 hours instead of the 30 mins it'd take for me to get bored otherwise haha
Thank you so much. I was crying inside that I didn't have any way to study and get to know the information, but now, with your tips, I am able to study very hard. I am now really looking forward for my results. Thanks so much
would love to see a closet essentials video for sixth form or even minimalism in general. Love your style bae!!
I love LOVE your content!!!! Thanks
Loved this video especially before the school year . For me personally music is A* it really helps me get motivation/focus on what I am doing cause idk I would study without music, even if my regular playlist with my fav songs it still helps even though science says no
Jade my uni classes started today! I got into this uni because of YOU. You inspired me to actually try out active recall and spaced repetition and now I get to study at my dream uni doing my dream course. I can't thank you enough
Then there is the supreme technique: reading one time other’s notes. Solid god tier for high school
jade out here cheering up our days 🥹🥰🦋
İt's helps so much my school starts tomorrow, thank you.
i take notes during the class and immediatly understand what i am writing + highlight what's more important (date, definition, title...) then when im home i synthesize my notes with colour codes and re-read this later, that is what works best for me in addition to discuss with others so that we share knowledge on a subject. Jade's video is really great if you feel that your study technique can fail you sometimes or if you want to discover other methods but the most important part of studying is to find what suits you best!
I never knew there was a name for it or that it was even a codified study technique but I’ve been using blurting since mid-college and it’s insanely helpful. I’ll do it on Microsoft word and then go back through looking at my notes and add in what I missed with track changes, that way I can easily see what info I didn’t get and what I need to focus on. I love this technique! Thanks for giving me its name!
I just started watching the video, but i have to say this: your desk setup is gorgeous!
About the video itself: as a teacher, teaching others is definitely a top tier studying technique for me. There was a lot of basic stuff that i forgot in uni, but working as a tutor first and a teacher after that helped me revise and memorize all that stuff very fast. The most difficult thing is to find someone to teach if you don't work in that field (or if you're a student with no friends like i used to be). So yeah, it's definitely not for everyone
Thank you! You helped me a lot, im currently in year 10 igcse, and I didn't realized that efficient study techniques are very imporant.
thank you so much jade 🤗
My friend and I had a technique, to try to summrize the topic the shortest possible. (for example, from 40 pages to 8..). It worked well because it made me very active while I studied- In writing, and particulary trying to figure out what is the essence of the material. Also, making things visual helped me a lot, but probably wasn't very efficient :)
oh my god jade you always appear when i need you. In summer, i have learned mathematics but i don't know how to revise it. Love you jade😍. I WISH THAT YOU CAN MAKE A VIDEO HOW TO STUDY AND REVIEW ALL SCIENCE SUBJECTS. I'M SUCK WITH THEM 🤧🤧
I loved this video thank you so much, you've not only given me new awesome techniques to try out but helped me organise the types of study that I already know and use into what can be useful from both an evidence-based perspective and your own anecdotal experience which is awesome.
I agree almost fully with your list but I feel like highlighting should be in 'meh' depending on how you do it and I feel like making notes should definitely be in Decent (if you're not just copying verbatim what the lecturer is saying obviously - but even that I have found if there is a particular phrasing that I find a useful way of framing something to help me better understand it I get it down in quotes, and making notes also allows you to write down independent thoughts and ideas about the subject you're learning and it has been my primary method of study since high school and I think I'm doing okay - I got a 2:1 last year)
Thank you for this content. It's super appreciated
I feel like taking notes is so underrated, both in the tier list and in how it's measured. Yeah, maybe only taking notes it's not enough to remember things, but it was never meant to be: it's a technique that amplifies many times over the effect of other techniques.
You take notes only when you're in a frontal lesson, the most passive way of learning. However, the act of taking notes transforms passive learning into active, efficient and effective learning. Active because it makes you do something relevant to the lesson, efficient because you're using the time of the lesson for both acquiring new information and creating study material. Finally, effective because during the lessons you can't really keep up writing what is said and dedicating your attention to the lesson: you need to summarize the concepts while rewriting them in a way that 'future you' is able to understand.
Also, re-reading notes is completely useless unless: A. it's just before the start of the exam, so that some notions that are hard to remember are 'stored' in the short-term memory, or B. you re-read notes when you're explaining the topics to yourself through writing, teaching others or narrating the topics to yourself. "A." is a useful trick for exams, "B." in practice is a sort of .
for watching videos I disagree, you can always combine this hack with blurting and taking notes it has worked for me. thank you the video too it was very helpful
True! I do this and it helped me double my grade
I love it how at the end of the video Jade just has this rainbow collar from the camera and sun☺️
The video is quite helpful as I like to have various techniques listed together. I wouldn't agree with everything,though. Sometimes rereading notes is just enough to memorise something. It all depends on the complexity of the task and it's priority in the learner's academics(you physically can't know everything equally well). In my opinion, everything Jade has listed can be quite good and different points
Jade, you are my casual magic!!
thank you, that helped me a lot.
Loved this video, super helpful! For me Pomodoro technique and Listening to music are the best to focus.
my favorite technique i learned and use to this day (stem focused) my ap chem teacher taught me. he let us have one index/note card for our final to write whatever we wanted but it had to be in pen. this forced us to go through our notes and pick out either the most important topics/equations/etc or the things we had the hardest time remembering. because we were only allowed pen, students either took the notes in pencil, revised in pencil, then rewrote it in pen, or (like me) take the notes in pen from the get go and start over on a new card if i messed up. (crossing a mistake out made the information less neat, but it also took up valuable card space). at the end of our final, he asked the class how much we used our card. the answer was not that much because we managed to remember it from all the different times we wrote it or thought about it while making the card. this has been my primary way of studying for stem classes, i don't know if this technique would translate well for social sciences. i use it to draw graph sketches, make charts, show conversion methods, write equations and how they relate to other equations, write the steps to take on certain types of problems, write the work of a sample problem so i know what a process should/should not look like, etc. this does not feel like something a social science or liberal arts major would find helpful (but its helpful for maths, sciences, and engineering in my experience)
HOLY HELL THIS SAVED ME. your teacher is a genius :D tysm for sharing this omg
Jades book is a must read for the new school year ✨
I’m probably the only person in my class who does the blurting method. It helps me understand my topic more if that makes sense.
Majority of my classmates review what they highlighted in class, not saying that highlighting is a bad method but in my person experience highlighting has never really actually helped me out.
A little bit of my class does teach their stuffed animals but as you said you shouldn’t rely on it and my friend does this method but she also does flashcards
jade, you're my hero.
Thank you so much this video is so helpful
For me converting the information from one form to another f. ex. converting words/a text into an image works really well. This way I feel like I actively build a connection between the left side of my brain (logic information/words/facts/numbers etc.) and the right side of my brain (images, art, creativity, feelings etc.). Therefore I also feel like I can remember information far better, when I establish an emotional connection to the topic in question or the surroundings where I study. 🙈🙈✨✨
amazing video,, thank you!!
Best video jade :)
Today I am finally able to order your book, l have been eyeing on it for so many days but it was not available in our region, but finally I got it today I was so happy that I dance out of joy😇🤗🌈
Wow while I was watching I was ranking those in my mind and I placed them all in exactly the same spots that you did!
For the music I have three options that never fail me, and both are from breath of the wild. Look for the Dragon theme (there are a few extended version that are very useful because the regular change of song can disrupt your concentration) and the shrine theme (extended too). Alternatively, there are videos on youtube dedicated to peacefully traversing certain regions of the game so you get that ambiance background noise as a bonus. This last option has also much calmer music, which can be better for some.
Been watching and admiring your videos for years Jade what a force of hope you are on RUclips.
My question for this video is -what would be your view on the learning types ie visual, audio such and such? Are they even real?
I like the music at the end of your videos so much 🥹🫶🏼
Highlighting helps me because I'm a visual learner and because by highlighting the concepts in a different colour flashcards become so much easier to make
im going into year 13 in two weeks this is so so helpful :)
What I found works is looking at the coursework and also past exam papers and first highlighting sections where past questions had come from, it includes time multiple choice and essay type questions. Then at least I know what to focus on . I initially do a reading of the coursework and at the same time do the written answers to past exam papers. I found this helps a lot.

Hello Jade. I'm an A/L student. I do blurting the most.(it's the best way for me ). For me listening to music depends on the situation. Sometimes I listen to my lo-fi playlist that I love . I do past papers too (Sometimes it's boring but it's so important ). Your contents are very helpful . Keep going . All the best for your studies and have a great day.💛🌻
Highlighting works like magic for me I have observed that I tend to remember the points and terms more which I highlighted so i will recommend trying it for yourself because not everything works for everyone
You said Meh for making notes, but I find it super helpful. If I only listen to a lecture I can’t remember much. But if if I write notes I understand so much better. The quality of the written notes varies, you can write things in your own words, make important parts really stand out and write key words at the end that you can use later as recall prompts.
ok I know truly not the point but your hair looks prime glam. So effortlessly stylish!
Why am I getting my fairy godmother energy from you?😭 ❤️
This was such a nice video, thank you Jade
