How To Study Smart | Why You're Studying The Wrong Way

- Hi Everyone!
So in this video I talk about the common mistake that I see when people are studying. This has easily happened to me before and sometimes I don't even realize it until the test. Then I think I need to change my study habits and learn from my mistakes. Overall just try not to recite your text book and take some time trying to understand what you are learning about. It may seem like more time but in the long run I promise its not. It does take a little bit more brain power than just copying down a text books, but hey its studying your brain is necessary. I hope this video helps some of you guys out who are studying hours on in and not seeing the results that you think your work reflects. Good luck everyone :)
Thanks so much for watching!!
Gabby

+Laura Billow SAME
+Laura Billow hi everyone ,if anyone else needs to find out about holistic learning definition try Stiklind Fast Learning Fixer (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my co-worker got cool results with it.
lol me too
Laura Billow sammmmee
My problem is not that I don't understand the material but it's actually understanding what the question wants during the exam. I may know the ENTIRE material but when it comes to the question, I don't know what things am I supposed to write. Could you please make a video that could help me solve this problem?
You know need to test yourself by answering the follow up questions given by the book. Or if it's a pdf or ppt, find some questions online.
I don't study at all so I can be sure that I don't study the wrong way.
same..
My problem is... I do get good grades and all but it takes me soooo much more time than it's supposed to, I zone out ALOT, I all of a sudden start planning for tomorrow ....etc.
***** Oooh I think that this is a gd one!!
THANK YOU
+Shorouk A stop taking notes and do more exam questions and review the mark scheme for weaknesses then build on them be really brief with notes
Lol Haha Dead I will definitely try that! Thank you =D
Shorouk A Subjects usually fall into one of two categories: theory-based or essay-based. Some subjects fall into both. The revision process is more-or-less the same for both categories, despite subtle differences. For instance, notes will be in the form of essay templates for essay-based subjects.
Avoid too much note-taking. Detailed note-taking is highly inefficient. Write notes on only the key concepts/ideas. Towards the end of the program, you would want to reduce your notes to a minimum. This is because you’ll be taking a number of exams in one go, so referring to heaps of text is not efficient also a day before the exam do not do past papers review the ones you already did look at the question and write the methods without the answer Cheat sheets usually work best. They’ll contain the things you must remember for the exam. Only you will truly know, after months of revision and testing, what these things are! Memorise these cheat sheets a day before each exam.
You will be tested on what you know and not how much you can read. Half of your time (or more) should be dedicated to answering revision questions/exam questions as opposed to reading a large textbook. Answering revision questions/exam questions are a true test of memory retention.
The review phase is the most important part of your revision schedule. This is the only part where you can improve your grades. Always review your work and identify any weaknesses. Convert these weaknesses into strengths over time.
As you approach the first exam, you should revise for each exam in turn. How you revise will depend on the final exam timetable and the nature of each exam. Dedicate more time to certain subjects.
+Shorouk A u get the grades u want end of story :) be happy
I LOVE the analogy in the beginning! You really hit on a big issue students face, including myself!
haha I'm glad you liked the harry potter reference!
Nina Thomas l
+Gabby Aikawa can u pls make more study videos they help me alot and I love ur videos ur amazing
Skip to 3:15 if u want to watch what u came here for
Thanks omg
But the example is so useful !
Stfu
+Aena Mustafa XD my god
+Aena Mustafa Thanks I'm glad you thought so!
I'm having problems with distractions, sometimes we need to work with our computers or phones to do the assignment, and it takes me longer time because I go to Facebook or on other apps. Another thing I've been noticing is when I need to read long texts I get distracted easily as in I have ADHD or something, and at the end of the text I don't remember what I have just read, it happens a lot and I have lost my motivation.
+Janne Mõttus if you think you might have ADD/ADHD then you should really get tested. I have ADD and since I was diagnosed it's been easier for me because of the medication. I still have some problems with attention (but it's much better than before), but you learn to live with it over time and you know how to make yourself concentrate! :)
+Janne Mõttus I feel you. I am motivated just when i go to sleep
But the next day i'm like "Ima revise tomorrow"
How soon before a test do you start studying?
That's a great question
She studies throughout the semester and she studies 3-4 days before the test.
***** Some people need to study less than another people. She said she reads her study guides before to go to sleep. I call this studying. The brain remembers better before you go to sleep :) .
skillzpro It really depends on the class for me. Like the level of difficulty for the class. For example my human phys class I was studying two weeks in advance! But for my spanish class I studied the night before. On average though for science classes I would say a week
makeupwarrior1 Would you mind telling us how long you study for a particular subject a day? Because a week of studying for an hour a day is a lot different than studying for several hours a day, you know? xD
Thank you, may i give you an advice?
Talk less, if you are giving advices. Or start with the advices and then talk..
It's very anoyying to wait minutes and hear you talk before getting the actually advice..
Peace, keep up the great job.
that harry potter analogy is amazing. it's me.
+ItIsNot MeOk I'm glad you liked it!
That's exactly my problem. I did that cramming without undersanding method and I failed dismally in my test 1&test2 like I got 40% in 3 outta the 6 college courses I'm doing, 2are on the 50's and one on the 80's. I'm just waiting for the final exam in 2weeks time and I'ma study smart & prove this SMART method works. Thanks, I'm your new subbie😁...by the way, do u hv any tips on how I can avoid procrastination? Im tired of last minute studying, more like cramming, pulling allnighters the night before the test.I literally wrote my tests wit a terrible headache 😥 and I don't want that kinda life
I am very confused why college students ignore any advice you give them. I took Organic Chemistry in college and my son refuses to do all his hw problems or get a tutor (which is free at his college). He spends extra time on one class then doesn't spend enough time on his other classes, and gets an A+ then a D on the other class.
I'm in Canada I'm a straight C student I only get 2 's I know it's bad my cousins r really smart but I'm just dumb 😓😞😶😭
She's a great teacher thanks for the help; although I'm not female nor transgender nor crossdresser do you do makeup tutorials too by any chance ?
I would actually recommend summarizing, not just re-writing!
Go through the text, digest it, literally, and then write it down in brief self-explanatory points that you can actually relate to.
Also do not create a study guide for all courses/subjects! Just the top hardest ones.
I would also recommend doing that after you have already attended your class, read and pre-studied the chapter. It just makes one hell of a difference. Creating a study guide should be the final studying method.
Even though I'm in the middle of summer, I will definitely use this tip for next year. Thanks!
ridethelightning98 HEY CHECK OUT MY VIDEO ! HOW TO GET A "A" IN COLLEGE! PRETTY HELPFUL!
+Asia_Blac *an
+Asia_Blac of you say " A "A" IN COLLEGE. I'm not looking. You didn't even do something a third grader would know. But don't mind me. It's just my opinion. I'll never see me in the world so don't feel bad becasie if what I said.
I'm watching this video and my cats licking my phone
thank you SOOOOO much for this. i been putting in so much time writing down terms trying to memorize them word for word....and end up doing terrible on the quiz. i think ur video is going to save my semester. THANK YOU!!!
+Aaron Ray Let me know if it helps!! Good luck on your quizzes
have been really struggling on finding a way to make nice appealing to the eye study guides for myself. Nothing ever works for me!
She has a video on how she makes her study guide.
Shorouk al-ma I know, I've watched that and many other study guide videos to see if I could combine something together, but her method doesn't work for me and the others I have tried haven't much either... oh well... i'll just keep trying!
Agreed. I always use this form of analogy when explaining to my friends "how to study". This is especially true for humanities subjects like History. If you tried to understand how Hitler and Stalin thought, and why they made their choices, it'll make understanding the following events a lot easier.
The correct and number one especially effective way of studying is testing yourself. Because if you utilize by asking and testing yourself during a lecture, which you must pay attention closely that person do not need to have to listen to lectures. However, I assume the lectures and notes to copy is important, so definitely pay attention, but you can test yourself at the same time and have questions for next class or after. In addition, reading the material or examining what's in front is useless, but important to reuse and kept safe, so it's best to use the material to examine and have paper to test yourself by asking questions and finding the answers. I didn't try this, but any occasion you do not try out or attempt because it will become a habit.
How can you prepare for the ssat?

Great Tips You are amazing!!!! I liked the bloopers at the end as well :)
Thank you :) haha I'm glad you enjoyed the ending!
So... Since the beginning of the year, i get bad grades in my math tests... And I don't know what is the problem. I do every single homework that my teacher gave us and I always get the good answers in the hw. Then comes the exam and I get like half of it good then there is 2 or 3 problems that seems that I haven't seen at all. :/ Help please.
+Sergent Downs You need to understand the concept (:
+Sergent Downs Yes, when you do your homework, you have your lesson in front of you, whereas when you do a test, you don't. Perhaps before doing your homework, you should revise your lesson, learn it, and UNDERSTAND it well. Then, put your lesson away, keep only a loose sheet of paper on your desk and do your homework on that. This way you're recreating test conditions. Don't do your work from memory or even just copying your lesson, do it from knowledge.
+Sergent Downs That's why i got a D in AddMaths .-. and B in Maths :c
DX
I love your channel! Your the only youtuber I can find that does school videos!please continue :) xx
Thank you! I will :)
Thank you sooo much for this video!!!!! I've been studying the wrong way all these dayssss!!!! Now I know How to study!!!! Again Thank you Soooo much!!!!!
Thank you so much this vídeo is very useful... And yes im one of those who writte everything and when it's time to do the exam i feel that i don't know anything xD
too much talking, thought u were getting straight to the main point. I understand that y'all female love talking a lot more than us men, but for time sake it is better to get right in to the thing...thanks any way.
Yeah...I used to do that too till I realized humans are really bad at multitasking.
I have adopted the following from my bad habit:
Read >>> Think >>> Relate to Context >>> Explain >>> Google (if necessary) >>> Derive (often harder than it seems) >>> Write
yeah but like, the weekends just over and my friend texted me there's a math test tomorrow. LIKE TODAY'S SATURDAY, and it's 10:00 PM. So that's the situation I'm in right now
I just want to know how many weeks before exams I should start revising for exams ?
Cuz I feel like I never have time to study especially this year I started IGCSE studies and it's SOOO much like next year I'll be studying year 10 and 11 for IGCSE exams so please help!
This is amazing advice that will definitely work with my Anatomy, and Medical Terminology classes!!! My problem is that with Pharmacology I will review the information in the chapters (one in the Human Diseases text and one in the Pharmacology text) and on the quiz the questions are "what would you use to treat these symptoms..." A lot of the time it will involve more then one drug and it's KILLING ME!!! I'm trying to find a way to stuff all of that information in and keep it with the ability of being able to pick and choose information out of different topics. I may have messed up taking two "weeding out" courses at once.
Hello Gabby, I watched some of your study tips videos when I started this semester and guess what? I got A- and C+. I know the C+ isn't that great *for me it's not:(. But you helped me a lot, like you gave me good tips even though I hear them all the time from teachers and family, but you put them in a way I thought i was better.
When I studied, I did like you said, to understand and to try to put it in my own words which helped a lot, when I see a sentence that looked like what I wrote I jump in happiness and I know the correct answer.
Thank you very much... xo Meryam (you probably couldn't read my arabic name there)
yaa ...I READ line by line bt from Now, i will be reading & making my notes in mY own WordS ..:) THANKYOU !!!
I've been memorizing all my college lecture. I don't think it works. Thanks for the tips. I guess I should stop playing around and get serious 😔
Thanks for this! I've done this technique before but often forget or get lazy and end up copying the textbook haha. Will definitely put this into practice when I start university this year :)
This video has a proper appeal to advancing students. . actually a well topic to hint toward are the chapter conclusions... or study problems which are often times in a count of twenty or more... the problems requiring some more though, and those that inspire effort or thinking patterns. good work in your archive lady.. :)
This is the story of my life..im taking an introductory class in chemistry and I'm so overwhelmed by all the facts I'm supposed to memorize and always find myself running out of time even tho i had studied for hours and weeks in advance!
can you please go straight to the point, sometimes you just talk a lot, i was in a hurry and my internet was slow and then all i hear is harry potter and bla bla bla please just get to the point. TIME IS GOLD
Good direct video. So you suggest taking time reading but do less writting word from word, I like the face that you said put it in your own words.....
last semester i got my gpa was 90 from100 now i dont know what happened to me i'm lazy i dont study or care about exams i'mm just tired and i want school to be over i dont know what to do help me?
Omg thanks a bunch! This is such a GREAT tip! Will definitely try this today!
Thank you so much! I don't often comment on videos but, this was very helpful. I can't wait to use this method next year.
I was doing khanacademy while watching this lol, use khanacademy it's a really good website. I learned a lot from it.
Thanks for the video my good friend, I really like it. how can I approach someone who knows material better so that we can study together. help me out!
Every student in my class will ask each other after a test " what mark did you get ?" and I say I got a good mark because I'm embarrassed 😶. After I try so hard I quit I don't study I don't care about school anymore I am not good at writing or reading I can't read really big words or smart words ( that's a problem when u go to the eye doctor cause they ask u to read depending on your grade that u r in ) and I only get c and d which is bad I just wish I was smart
Hey Gabby great tips! How did you tackle lectures though? Do you just listen the first time at a lecture to understand what they were saying and then rewatch the lecture to write down and take down all the notes? Especially for medicine, almost every thing the lecturer says is important so its difficult to comprehend while at the same time take down all notes first time through
This tip is really good really appreciate it.
My problem is how to add study time to my schedule because I work so it’s so hard to get enough time before exams to prepare
Thank you for your very smart advise. that was too helpful and make sense.
if u give me some advice about how to make time that would be awesome. im an international student and so slow and for understanding the whole material perfectly, it would take too long for me
I know it's an old video but I definitely have this problem throughout my school life I think this video will help me.
Well this was very informative ! And i actually understood what i should do ! Yes for physics i did the same way :( But now i know what i should do .. But could u please tell me how i make my studies intresting cz i use all the tips and makes me bored now but i am good listener study person .. I actually want a study buddy can u actually fine me ? :( :(
Brilliant English video lesson.
Thank so much for sharing about English.
TL;DR Understand your material, don't just have a wall of text that you attempt memorize.
what a wonderful information how to study. I learnt a lot thing from your video. God bless you Gabby Aikawa
my problem is that when it comes to studying I automatically find it boring, so when that happens don't understand what am studying sometimes I just don't want to do studying but I want to study less and understand wat am studing dats worth a long hours study staring at pages blankly
questions to you genius ! For slow readers and slow learners how should they study for ? and how many times between hours they should take 10 mins break?
questions to you genius ! For slow readers and slow learners how should they study for ? and how many times between hours they should take 10 mins break?
My university has a text and author fetish, I can remember the ideas from the texts but no the names who rote what when where? Faking stupid grading system.
True ! i have very bad grades all my grades are D and i dont know how to get high grades i try everything but when i fail a couple of times i give up but i am very very good at sports idk maybe i should train and be athletes.
Well I understand the material in class and study but everytime the teacher gives the test I always fail. what am I doing wrong here?
thank u soooo much, this was very useful for my exams which are on monday..... seems like i have to go over my notes now lol XD
I cannot believe that people actually write word for word in their study guides! Hehe.. Anyway, you do seem to know enough about studying.. My problem is a severe lack of motivation.. Would you have a tip for that?
I'm looking at faith from game(mirrors edge catalyst) u r beautiful.
Hey,I came up with a trick to study,I will better try it first before telling other about it
Indian state boards need to watch this video
exactly
+Chirag Adhia do they make students memorize everything in india too? same here in paraguay :(
Cristian Segovia
most of the schools in state board do, other boards are pretty good here like ICSE, CBSE etc.
+Chirag Adhia same in Pakistan...unless you opt to do A/O levels which is comparatively expensive
+Chirag Adhia Other board also do the same.... thing
I'm in ICSE...(used to be in CBSE) they...make u study like the whole book for Boards
Do you know how to study for ap bio? I been doing bad on most of my exams for this class.
omg i'm a senior in highschool and i'm taking chemistry my grades have been very bad, i've studied for hours and still failed tests. i think the right way to study is to study a little bit each day and only study for 30 minutes because when you study for longer than 30 minutes you overwhelm your brain.
the way i now study is by rereading my notes, highlighting them and then using quizzlet to test myself.
btw i love your hair and this video is very helpful.
Thank you so much! This video was very informative. Now I finally know what I have been doing wrong the whole time. You affixed the real purpose of understanding what I read firmly in my mind! :)
Calculus online 😊❤️
Just the best omg
So much fun
Thank you so much!!!!! Very helpful tips :)
Great video! Comprehension and accuracy is always better! Agreed! Did you get my message
Thanks and was it via email?
makeupwarrior1 No! via RUclips messages! Go to my channel, video manager, then community, and then messages! I sent you an important message hun! Do you want to collab in January! I have two awesome video, ideas! ::)
i really get bored when I'm studing well thxs anyway
there was no khan academy when i was in orgo TT ...so bitter
Im supposed to be studying for a midterm :))))
thank you so much for this video. I was struggling with studying for the longest time and someone finally gave me a way to do it easier. I am one of those people who will copy the whole text book and i dont like it so I cant thank you enough.
Actually, actually , actually and so much cutting omg!
Thanks! your video is really helpful :D
hi gabby! I'm in high school and I'm taking AP World History. I have my first unit test on 6 chapters soon and the teacher has taught anything, so I'm stuck with trying to learn from the book. History is literally WORD AFTER WORD AFTER WORD, and I just have absolutely no idea how to study. It's not like I can cram every bit of info in...any advice?
+Claire H I hate that. In that case, you should take the time to write your own notes from the book and make note cards also. As you write you should be really paying attention and repeating what you write. When you do that you're analyzing all the information and processing it and summarize in a way that you understand better. Create you're own questions from you're notes to make the notecards. You retain the information better. Have a study group with someone and discuss the material, that can increase memory retention by A LOT. Once you feel confident, you could try teaching it to someone in a study group who doesn't understand the material well, that is the BEST way for memory retention. It sounds silly, but its true. There's scientific research about it. Good luck!
perfect video 😁😁
Everything is true, I just needed someone to say it outloud so my brain would get it ,thank you for doing that 😀😀🔝
I have ap cal and my teacher dose not know how to teach wish me luck
is a nice speech but there are too many of 'actually ' ==
Wondering when the actual tips on will come in.
OMG!!!! I'm in my freshman year and I still feel a little bit lost at times but you're so helpful with these videos!! Thank you so much! I know you'll graduate soon, but I hope you'll continue doing this kind of videos!
Lance Austria I'm so glad you find my videos helpful! I do hope that once I graduate I will continue doing these types of videos too. Thanks for the support :)
Thank you for the video ! Hopefully it allows me to memorize by biology and economies essays better. Im having problems when im studying, its like after studying for 1hr, i get distracted easily (by my phone, urge to play games, procrastination etc.) any idea how to allow me to focus ? By the way, if my college gives us lectures notes, would you will recommend me to do study guides based off the lecture notes ? Ps for asking so many questions ! :)
My personal tip is to take regular study breaks. You WILL get distracted and I think it's been proven somewhere that studying for long periods of time with no breaks will lead to less effective studying than if you take periodic breaks.
It may take trial/error to figure out what the best studying intervals are for you, but I'd start out with 1 hour study/15 minute break/repeat, or 1 hour 15 min. study/30 minute break/repeat, etc. Tweak it to adjust to your schedule and personality. Do your schoolwork with a timer and once that timer hits an hour or so, finish up what you're doing and take a break. Of course, if you're on a roll, don't feel distracted, and are motivated to study longer, you don't *have* to take a break every hour; I mostly take breaks if I noticeably start to feel antsy.
My favorite thing to do is to watch a single anime/TV show episode in-between study time, as these are often 25 or so minutes long. Good luck! Never study without taking at least a few breaks, as you will lose attention during studying and you will not be as productive as possible!
i need your advice to get well in my study? thanks
memorizing everything is my life saver in physics because idk but no matter how much I tried I seem to never understand Chemistry and Physics... and I can´t help that... I have to do physics in my last 2 yars of school and I kinda have the feeling that this will ruin my whole graduation grades.... :(
physics need not be a boring subject...
it mainly depends on ur teacher and the way u think of it...
you can check out the new series of crash course physics...
u can also take help from khan academy
Thank u for this, ur quite intelligent in how u think.
i do read and remember bt to xtart solving math i dont knw
Thank you for this video! I messed up my grades this semester. Sure I passed, but I didn't do well. I would take hours re-listening to all of the recorded lectures and write down every single word that the professor said, but I would still receive poor scores on my exams. I did not understand why I was doing so poorly, but then I realized maybe I was spending my time memorizing rather than truly understanding what's happening in the lecture. The night before the exam, I finally decided to open my textbook and realized that maybe if I had invested some time reading/skimming through the book, I would've had a clearer understanding with the content discussed in the lecture. I learned my lesson and will strive to do better in my next bio classes!
omg! I realized that I commented on this video months ago already! This is so sad! I forgot to apply what I learned from this video! Well, I learned my lesson hahaha
Omg it worked i got 2 mistakes on my science test thanksss
This was really really helpful! Thanks!!
quite good n motivating to kenyan students from lenana school.
Are you finished with college?
You are right I'm going to tell you something when I am practicing for a powerpoint presentation I try to memorize all the words and at the another day I get nervous.
+Ada Morales Tbh
I find that memorising for things like powerpoint presentation is BAD.
I really suggest to memorise it in MAIN POINTS.
Then while giving the presentation you can actually developed the presentation in your own words which will be better i guess ;)
hello where u live in ? How old are you ,what university you study and what major you study ? Nowadays you study or work if work what kind of work are you ? Can you show me some of the result you got from your study and tell me the way of study like you or all good way that you have .Thanks.
No?
This is what I always tell people, if you want to pass then you need to understand the material, instead of just memorising the entire textbook
Exactly!!
Did you find re-reading your Biology textbook was more effective in the long run??? xxx
No. Haha. For most of my bio classes I really concentrated on my teacher's lectures and using the text book for clarification. Hope this helps and good luck!!
Damn awesome... you R so Beautiful...like it =D =D
thx for the tips! Passed my test! :) tysm :)
