for college, I suggest studying an upcoming course through the summer on your own. For instance if you have chemistry 1 next semester, focus a month in summer on learning the material. When you are in the actual class you will have a general understanding of each topic, and all you will have to do is iron out the details.
Ariel Cruz I always plan on doing that..and well it doesnt happen. I just need to stop being lazy. Your suggestion is great tho.
rafael soria Haha at least in the summer you can learn without being under much pressure. You will be able to learn whenever your'e in the mood. Just drink a cup a coffee put on instrumentals and you're good to go.. Good luck!
+Ariel Cruz that is what I do, and you get into uni understanding concepts from day 1 :D
I only have 1 month left until school starts, I should buckle down and start working through the questions
Ariel Cruz i know. I have physiology and didn't study as well. So I am nervous now. But I will keep fighting
I used this strategy for my math 101 course. Divide and conquer. I ended up making a 100 on the final and a 97 in the class. There is no hiding from problem solving. No grey area. You know it or you do not. That is why I love science and math.
Teach me your ways.
Dude, would you consider taking a job as my shoulder-angel? Or my Navi? Or my roommate? I now you're a doctor but I mean... I can pay you in friendship and appreciation.

It’s called studio C
A tip: you can watch series on kaldrostream. Been using them for watching a lot of movies these days.
@Matthias Alonso yea, been watching on KaldroStream for since november myself =)
"Problems are not there to test, the problems are there for you to test & to learn from!" i'm definitely hanging this quote on my desk! Thank you soooo much!
I believe that one self-defeating thought is that some person in class is taking significantly less time to get through the material and still ace the test, but a counter argument I use for that is "Well, if that so-and-so was really that smart, they wouldn't be in the same room as I am, they should already be doing something more worthwhile if they are really of that caliber", btw, great video, cold hard truth!!
Saving this video bc I've never been so motivated to study!
This video changed my frickin life. True Story.
Wow thank you man! You made me feel normal. Sometimes I did problems 3 times to get A's on the exams. I thought I was just stupid or something.
You get me pumped to study! Thanks again for such great tips all the while being really funny, engaging and entertaining!
What was your GPA and MCAT score if you dont mind?
The video may be long, and yea, I've heard this all before, but to hear it from someone in the same situation, that has succeeded, and has the same path as myself, makes this video extremely useful. Thanks for making it!
"40 questions. Easy."
My trig teacher just lectured us on not complaining on the 18 problems he assigned us over the weekend. :p
Rip to my ears at 7:02
Goddamn, that gave me a ruptured eardrum
This video is truly amazing ^_^ I'm currently in my last semester of high school and I think this meathod would be prefect for when I start college.
A1 advice.
+Kenneth Sims thanks for the message!
I want to be you when I grow up
I'm a senior in high school looking ahead to college and really appreciate this video man. I got a 5 in bio but a 4 in Chem and think I could've done better if I applied these study strategies I half assed my homework every night lmao. In college I probably won't do EVERY problem as many of them are redundant (especially in a calculus class) but I'll do one of each type. I assume you don't mean every problem literally cause ain't nobody got time for that
u
So, how long should it take to study something?
I'm in high school, but i think this will really help me for my math and science tests. :)
Thanks for this :)
I'm starting a biology degree in a few weeks and I'm nervous as all hell. This really helps. :D
Hi Mr Mustaine,
Just wondering if u did infact complete ur bio degree? If so, did u find these methods helpful?
What happened to megadeath?
Can you please share tips on note-taking? The thing I have trouble most is spending too much time on taking notes. Do you take notes as you read? I have a hard time mentally moving onto practice problems until I have taken notes from the book or re-organized my notes from lecture. By the time I'm done with my notes, I am left with too little time for practice problems (which is what I want to get to in the 1st place!). However, if I don't start with notes, I feel too scatter-brained when doing practice problems. Any tips? Thank you. :)
READ and don't take notes on your first pass through of the book unless it's a bio/ memorization course. Just understand everything there... Then start doing practice problems. Get stuck? Use the solutions manual and learn how to do the problem....As he said in the video 1 day later try the problem again without looking at the solution manual this time... Repeat every step but reading the chapter again.... If it's a memorization course like bio then read the book for understanding then take notes on ONLY DETAILS. Then make Anki Flashcards or regular flashcards for the details. Good LUCK!
solution manual is a must for O-chem.
Dude, your freaking hilarious. But , no, seriously good stuff, I'll try to apply what I've learned from you!
what sucks for me is that im going for biological sciences in university, and no matter where i go in the internet, there is ONLY COMPLAINTS! everyone tells me there is no jobs, that i will be unemployed forever, or i will spend 6 years minimun after university getting a phd so that i can work a not so good job teaching at ok universities... it's really depressing, frustrating and sad to go to university with these thoughts in mind... even though i know that you need to try and be the top of your class, network the hell out of your college professors and peers, do your own experiments on free time, internships, work for free for professors, get your names in their papers, and all that good stuff, i still think that it might all be in vain =[ so maybe i'm changing to biochemistry or somenthing related next year, only so that i can keep working in science, but with a focus on industry instead.
+Paulo H
I agree...bio is a stepping stone for further sciences - you could teach high school science or be a lab rat at a medical school. If you have a ton of charisma, you could be a nature talk show host or work at a zoo or nature park. Good luck.
Pura Vida
i would love to be a nature talk show lol.
Paulo H What happened?!
How do you handle nerves. I got a 88 in chemistry 101 lecture and I had one test where I literally froze on the test. I legitimately couldn't think. I got a 65 on that test and I was so close to getting the answer...I was just frozen. Admittedly, I was studying by doing all my homework in one chunk. I probably could have studied more, perhaps that would help with the brain freeze. I'm just scared that if I study super hard and I freeze on a test what i the point. I'm not sure what to do. Thank you.
+Origami Captain Maybe you should stop binge studying and relax a bit before a test like taking a walk etc :-)
+Origami Captain same thing happened to me in my last math test. the day before the test I was doing all problems n everything was gucci. on the test, I couldn't think and got 52, hopefully it'll be my only shitty mark.
the other thing that we have in common is that I also doing all of my homework in one chunk, and I definitely could have studied more.
I'm in an intro to Chemistry course in college and of course I waited until the day before the test to study (my test is tomorrow.) As I was procrastinating watching RUclips videos I decided to search something that can benefit me and came across this video. You make it seem so simple and I'm sure it is! I'm just so lazy and I never want to do anything but I'm going to try and take it step by step. I've honestly haven't even opened my chemistry textbook yet and class started almost 2 months ago. I hope I can do this.
How did it go?
yes^ how did it go?
Stephy Kinss how was your test?
we demand test results!
Hahah I remember I passed! Barely, but I did study super last minute, like literally the night before. Imagine if I prepared for days! It's a good strategy to use, along with the notes the teacher provides. I normally fail my exams when I study last minute but this time I had a plan and managed to focus on the important stuff and do a lot of practice problems to get the hang of it.
im a sophomore nursing major and this is my summer. thank god your video pepped talk me slowly to begin classes. I worship u
Thanks for the advice. Im 25 and just now switching to a biology major from a major in spanish education (I know...my family/everyone thinks Im crazy too) So Im literally starting over in school and havent taken a science class since high school. This makes me feel a little more at ease about the many years to come.
How do you read every chapter and do every problem when you have 16 credits? I seem to do several hours and complete a chapter but have a 20% retainment of the material. Which tells me that's a horrible method. How do you stop and pick up another subject? Thank you!
+Carrie A Jarrett Outline the Chapter and then move on and do the questions. Refer back to the text when you don't understand something or need clarification in pathways, problems, figures, etc.
Makes sense. Thank you. :) I'm doing that right now with MHC Class I in Immuno. It took me a month to figure what you said out. Glad you posted a response to cement my newly found method. THANKS!
Bidhan Chan p
So, how long should it take me to read through a chapter?
Waiting for your freakout.
Hey! Thank you for all these great advice! I found your video a bit late since I am in my last year of college. I also had to learn the hard way since high school and college was so different. If there is one advice that outshines the other would be the "no time limit to understand a chapter". Anyways, can't wait to share this with friends and also see more of your other videos.
You're a Fucking Genius!!!!!!!!!! :)
7:01 Heart attack xD But thank you for the advice!
WOW! How tf are you so smart??..I do High School Science subjects -Chemistry,Biology,Physics and I find it soooo hard and like everyone, I am very afraid of failing ;(((((
As a freshman in college Bro this video was really helpful and informative not to mention bluntly real. I'm watching this while reading my A&P book for an exam that's in 20 days.
Hahaha...I was on the fence about buying the solutions manual for my g-Chem class but you've just totally convinced me to just get it! Also, I love your energy...so motivating! I am also usually one of the last few students left during an exam, barely finishing on time & it always bothers me when other students finish before me. It makes me question my abilities but I know this is not the way to think about it. Thanks for your tips, very helpful.
@DocOssareh
Great video! I have a question to you; when you say do the problems/questions in your book, i dont really know how to do them in the best way.. How should i do them? Should i 1. read and understand the material 2. make notes 3. make a text of your note?
In bio for example we get up to 10 questions in my school like What is natural selection? Where is your Cell? How do animals adapt? Explain the evolution.....
Please make a video or send me a massage on how to answer these questions or questions of any kind related to sience (How to take notes from a text book, and make a own text using these words).
I love you!!! You are amazing!
I applied these techniques for my Orgo classes and did very well. Like Dr. Oss said, a key component is becoming comfortable with learning from the questions you answered wrong. Put in some effort and orgo will be fun and rewarding. It was my favorite class in undergrad.
dude u rock...I love you....from today I go underground I mean to study ..
I'm thinking of studying to be a Registered Dietitian and every chemistry class, biology class, and including organic chemistry.
Doctor, you're the best ! You literally covered everything in few minutes. You just gained a new subscriber. Peace
Thank you very much, I really needed someone to yell at me and verbally shake me into studying. Now can you pleaseee make a video on how to make and stick to a day to day schedule in college? Thanks!!!
This is a good video. I literally went home after class, I made note cards, I highlighted notecards, I read them in my spare time until I was sick of reading them. But I did not forget them and did very well on my tests. You don’t have to kill yourself to get thru these classes, but some effort is required
How good were your grades by doing this?
Very important vid , I wish my academic counselor woulda shared this knowledge. Your a life saver. Bio classes are so tough and I had to learn the hard way too n have burnt out over it. I am pushing through and trying to stay strong , advice like yours saves years of withdrawals
"Are you gonna do all the odd questions?" *Places hands at ear "NO! YOU'RE NOT GONNA DO ALL THE ODD QUESTIONS WHATS WRONG WITH YOU!!" LOL.
lol he put his soul on that one..
I love the money analogies that went with the explanations. Good video either way, thank you. It convinced me to check other of your videos. Let's see how it goes.
My god I have been subscribed for years but never watched all these study vids.. absolute GOLD!!!!! I watch a lot of study RUclipsrs but they just do not resonate with me. I appreciate your comprehensiveness and emphasis on mastery over subjects!!! Thank you Doc!!!!!
I like how encouraging this video is!! Thank you for the tips!!
Organic chemistry was easy. General chemistry was a nightmare for me 🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
JESUS FUCK, i'm hesitant to watch any fucking youtube video because i'm worried about the loading bar stopping every FUCKING 5 MINUTES, I have to click on the loading circle for it to start again
You're really cute :)
haha everytime you say "Noooo what's wrong with you!", so hilarious!
"Man, what if I suddenly feel like doing O Chem?" NEVERRRR! Thanks a lot for the tips. I did a lot of problems for Chemistry, but I didn't know I needed to for Biology too :/ I have a test tomorrow so it's pretty late for me! Will use this for finals in a month! :)
Hi,
i have a QUESTION I'm a freshman in college and i'm still learning English and it might take me 5 years until i take the MCAT would 5 years be an accepting issue?
Not to be meant as criticism but why do the problems again
Can't you just find more problems online ?
Like search "topic". Worksheet PDF
They help much more rather than redoing problems...
I just love you maaaaan , thankssssss a lot ♥️
You are one of the reasons why medicine is fascinating
THank you so much! it really solve my misery. i used to read my text book like for 48294238 times and still i can't solve my problems without asking people for the answers. i'm thankful that i watched the video. now i know what to focus in my science subject. you saved me tons.
hey studying is a LOT of work!!!!
no, seriously great video and tips!
heres a question, what do you do with your textbook highlights do you go back and memorize them? I have the problem of now I got the class notes, the problem sets, the lecture pdf's from powerpoint and the text highlights! agh! way too much info and too many sources! how do I integrate them all and focus for studying? especially now that in 2017 exams are all multiple choice rather than problem sets.
He is pretty smart guy! I like this guy! :7
I'm currently a premed student and I am struggling finding ways to study for my biology class. The class average on the midterm was a 36%, but I managed a 78%. I currently have a B so it's not an issue of pass or fail; however, I really want an A. The majority of the class dropped and there are now only 12 students in the class . The professor says to study the power points and not the book because the book goes "too in depth". I'm not sure what my next step should be considering his powerpoints do not coincide with the tests.
I don't know about you guys but what works for me is on every chapter that is covered on the exam, I make my own outlines of the chapters on a word document, and save it to my USB memory stick and my PC just in case. I basically like to copy the concepts from the book onto my outlines of every chapter, but I like to break them down and keep them simple if they are too technical. Type in every bold words from the chapters and write down their definitions, break down the concepts and keep them simple, and only focus on the main points and also highlighting concepts that require a more in depth specific look, put all these on my outline, etc.
Also if the book comes with a mastering Pearson or any other program that is designed to help you better understand and practice the content, I take advantage of this too by taking the mock quizzes or exam that come along with the program. Once I am done taking those mock quizzes/exams I like to review the work; see which questions I got wrong, copy all the questions and correct answers that are displayed at the end of the practice quiz/exam on a word document or flash cards (since writing with actual hands is better for memorization), and review all this before the exams. I cannot stress the number of times Ive come across questions on real exams that are similar to the question that are on the mock quizzes/exams that come with these programs, they are mostly just different in language and format but same concept. One class I even had real exam questions that were on the mock quizzes/exams with the exact same word/answers, so this does help a lot.
well I don't know about you guys but this is what works for me. Making your own outlines on a word document are especially useful for a final cumulative exam.
I was wondering why some exams I get high grades while others I don't. Now I remembered some I do a couple of examples and move on , cause I don't have time and I usually get 6/10 in the exam. If the exam is after a weekend I literally do all the problems , literally every time I do this I get 10/10 works like magic. Once I was the only person on my class that got a 10/10 in the midterm
Can anyone recommend textbooks for the chemistry and physics parts of the MCAT? Not exactly whats on the test but something which builds a foundation.
I could have used this advice when I was struggling with Morrison and Boyd at this time in 1976. All my prof said was to do all the problems, and there was no advice on the approach, nor how to prepare for tests. Of course, I have figured most of this out in the meantime, and way too late.
Or you could just do random problems. The books usually have several problems that are identical concepts just different numbers.
I have a question in regards to "reading the material," should I just understand the material and move to the questions or memorize and understand most of the material first? I can understand the material, but I can't remember it unless I force myself to memorize it which can take long. Any tips from anyone would help. I'm mostly asking this for biology because it contains lots of terms. Physics and chem I understand the best when I just go straight to problems but in bio i'm struggling a little.
I'm a Bio major, please use chegg or Amazon to purchase textbooks! U should not be spending $200 for one book
He's not persian. If he's a Persian then he must be a persian from Pakistan. There's millions of Persians in Pakistan..especially on the borders of Afghanistan and Pakistan...and Iran and Pakistan.
This is nice and all, I will try it. I had my test last week, that week we had a huge packet of problems, 2 lab reports, homework oh and a midterm. Soooooooo....... i don't know if this is practical or realistic with an intense load.
Ok good but what about if there is a really difficult problem that stops you on your tracks and then another one, then another one and eventually you get through the 1 hour study session doing 7/8 questions out of the 30 problems. How do you end up dealing with the pace of the course?
lol in high school maths and sciences i didnt really use this method and still did fairly
well. dang. looks like i have a hugeee habit to fix when i go to college
i study in 4th professional mbbs in medical college i have very very problem in pathology,opthalmology and community medicine and i got fail plz help me as how to memorize every thing because paper come are very very hardly conceptual
...how do you have time to do the calc problems multiple times?? I cant even get through all of them once before the exam without completely falling apart in my other classes ://
My bio professor said read the book once, then never again. She said to pay close attention to pictures. So, how did you study bio. Please help. This is college bio
Why would you use two highlighters?
Hello. I've been a big fan since this channel has started. I just wanted to know, do you prefer someone to take chemistry or biology their first semester in college?
Please and thank you.
Doesn't matter but make sure you don't take anything together unless you're really wanting to spend tons of time. Hopefully someone told you this...TIME+SMART WORK = A+
you look like the smarter version of FAZE RAIN on youtube.
Thx buddy ur tricks were good but I m getting problem to study for theory exams in my science carrier it becomes a big challenge to learn stuffs rather than their applications any tips for how to learn those stuffs
Since I am slow when it comes to remembering science. What I find that helps is to study slow. What I do is, is that when I am looking at a concept that I want to remember; I write down each word while reading the concept in the text book trying to comprehend the information in my head, also trying to form a picture.
Usually i just mindlessly stumble through the text, but this sounds like a much better way to grasp the subject matter. Thanks for the tip :)
Your o-chem class was easy if all you had to do was the problems in the back of the chapter of the Carey book. What a joke. I will agree that practice of problems from various science classes helps. But with o-chem, there was practice with rxn mechs. Carey lacked that. Calculus was about problems and understanding. Cell bio was recall and memorization. Micro was recall and memorization. O-chem was recall, mem, and practice. Much of other stuff was busy work. Prioritization was important.
i really appreciate that thank you , my problem is : i am studying pharmacy and we have a lot of exams such as mid term , practical ,oral and final and sadly once you try to make your study schedule you just stuck in these exams so how should i do my schedule ? i am at my first year of pharmacy
So true. Work the problems! It teaches you how to work *any* problem. If something comes up you didn't understand, work more problems in that specific area.
Also, when bored of reading, draw simple doodles of the diagrams in your text and label the important stuff. Over and over. Repetition is key. You'll be amazed how those doodles present themselves to you on exam day.
hey man that was really helpful, but I'm going for engineering and next semester I'm taking 3 courses, precalc, trig and gen. chem. do you have any videos about how to manage that or it is the same thing, also could you recommend me a channel like yours for engineering ? thanks again for the video real good!
Whether you want to enter medical school, study Wizardology, or merely become a self absorbed "know it all," you need to watch the videos that this young man created. He is THE BUDDHA for all who seek scientific edification without going insane or otherwise losing your health and well being. Subscribe to his channel. OMG...What a find.
Also, keep track what you get wrong. Don't count partial credit, or you just needed to do one more things, or just divide by two, etc. Each one that you don't get exact final answer count as wrong, and take your average. It helps to better emulate the test situation and you give yourself a realist assessment
I love him, but there are more videos about medical school and not as many about pre-med and its called "the Undergrad Forum"
Since I found your videos, I've been watching one or two everyday. I'm going to start pharmacy school this coming Fall. Looks like I'm gonna be stuck watching your videos the next four years! You are very encouraging. And funny ;)
thank you so much for this video. keep it up!
I am going to start my freshman year in college this August and my dream since kindergarten was to become a pediatrician..discovering your videos is like a blessed sign from above..thank you so much..hopefully i can be as successful as you :)
my library doesnt have a teachers solution manual for the general chemistry class im taking. if im going to do all the homework problems in the back of the chapter How will i know if i am getting the even numbered questions right?!
Great tips. I will incorporate your tips in your study plan.
thanks i am in 10th grade taking AP environmental and I just really needed to hear this
Hey Mr. Ossareh, you didn't mention anything about note taking. I would assume we need to take notes for each class right? Your condensed notes method sounds useful but is it unnecessary for Undergrad courses? Thanks!
You’re awesome! Thanks for sharing!
This may seem obvious to some, as you explain in the video yourself, but was an eye opener for me.
Thank you for posting the video :)

God dammit I need discipline! I NEED DISCIPLINE. I want nothing more to fucking be a neurosurgeon but I am rocking a 2.8 as a sophomore feeling helpless. I KNOW I CAN DO IT I NEED DISCIPLINE
God bless you, you setting time aside to truly teach us the formula for success. Do you have a twitter account? I would follow you around and absorb anything you have to say like a sponge, heheheeee.
