"If you're finding it hard, you ^are^ doing it right. If you're finding it easy, you're not learning anything at all." I was getting demoralized reviewing, so I really needed this today. Thank you!

Maybe 7 hours is too much for you. Maybe your methods are boring, repetitive and not efective. Try to change your schedule and priorize whatever method works better for you. In the video he talks about it.
testing-active recall, flashcards, testing yourself before, during, and after studying spacing-"deliberate non-practicing", space out study sessions to forget some information categorizing-if you want learn the information, create a category-based system such as a "tree of knowledge" or "mind map" with branches that hold specific information about that general subject interleaving-if you're finding learning hard, then you're learning correctly. the brain is like a muscle; work it out.
I did this unconsciously in high school then I went to college and saw everyone reading and highlighting so I decided to do the same and my performance was the worst. It’s now that I realise what went wrong.
"If you are learning hard, you are doing it right. If you are learning it easy, you are not learning at all." Damn 😱 you are very inspiring. Thankyou, sir.
1:39 Testing: basically active recall 3:50 Spacing: spaced repetition 6:49 Categorising: buliding a tree of knowledge to categorise every new information under an abstrakt or a type 10:07 Interleaving: don't do 20 maths problems in 4 hours straight, rather do 5 in an hour for 4 days
I think that is NOT what he meant with #4 - Interleaving. #4 is more about 'mixing' your set of problems to make them mentally challenging. Such that you will learn to stick the solution with problem type. But further utilizing this technique with #2 spaced repetition, then you are kind of right. Here we 'mix' the information (#4) but also 'space it out' over lets say 4 days (#2). Doing so, you have both the techniques in motion.
I just started Med and I keep worrying about how I easily forget stuff. But you said not to worry bcs we are meant to forget it overtime and most people go through this 😭 THANK YOU!!
Girl, I'm 3yrs out of Med school and I still had a freak-out session with my friend 3 days ago that I'm going to suck as a doctor because I've forgotten everything 😄 You'll be fine... I wish I knew all these when I was in med school.
Dude, you are amazing! Iv been wanting to improve my study abilities and SOMETHING was missing, and after watching multiple of your videos I finally figured out what I was doing wrong and also lots Im actually doing right! Cheers to a great Fall Semester.
I’ve been watching all these study videos and it has literally changed everything. Yesterday was my first day of MCAT material and I didn’t retain anything, after incorporating these methods I’m retaining so much more.
@@nimraakram3128 life is not cruel. I was in your situation and discovered these things by myself, because my grades were also very bad and i didn't pass my exams. Now i have passed all my exams. You just have to be dedicated
@@vasilisgiannatos1319 hi, I’ve been into searching things that can work for me since ages. Ive also have a mental disorder due to which I’m not able to take good decisions on how and what to learn. In med school there are like 100s of options on how to study but that doesn’t mean all of them work for you. The way this guy has told about learning has really been effective for me for a while now, but I found him now in my almost over 4th year. So please don’t tell it like I didn’t try. Sometimes you find things way too late but still you find them.
Wow this is revolutionary for me! I dunno how I went through post grad medschool and training not knowing sound study techniques back in the early 2010s. Surprisingly, I believe categorizing has always been my style. I want to see the whole picture first and start from there. If I can connect everything in 1 whole sheet that would be best. Recently knowing other techniques such as active recall/self testing, spaced repetition, etc kindof made the whole studying picture more doable and almost complete. Will surely try the others out and excited for it!
Really appreciate how you have no adverts and the amount of effort you put into your videos, respect the fact that you take time out of your busy day to help people; very inspiring, thanks for all you do!
Ali Abdaal was talking about general RUclips adverts lol, I don’t mind adverts within videos... Especially since you put it at the end of the vid rather than the start!
10:44 Oooohhh this is such a relief!!!! I was getting so frustrated and desperate recently! It was really messing me up. I thought "WHY?? WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME??? Why do i keep forgetting non stop no matter how much i study?!", now i know (or i think i know) that is because i was waiting to remember all the concepts in detail before acting on them instead of exercising when is hard to do it! There was always this sense of "shit! I'm forgetting the rest" and i stopped pushing. This was more in behavioural change, like becoming more calm, controling my perception and anxiety. I realized that there will never (or probably never) be a point where i will change into the strong, corageous person that i dream just by reading. I need to exercise the correct behaviours like if i'm trying to correct physical technique. The discovery that traumatic events are just like regular memories, as far as i know, and that they become important because we replay it over and over again really gave me an epiphany, was like AC/BC. Now i know that is okay to feel weird trying another behaviour and that is going to be mistakes because you're instintively will want to go back to old ways, especially when it gets tough, so you need to resist the temptation - a lot of times the anger - and embrace the akwardness, you will see that rationality will take you further. It's like shooting your butt in a Squat, which often leaves your torso horizontal and you will eithed fail the lift or break your back. The body has weird ways in trying to solve a problem, it will try to lift something at all cost - cause it's essencially is trying to survive - even if that way will end up killing you. Instincts can be dead wrong sometimes. I'll guess that, just like a baby, the impulses need to be trained before becoming trustworthy. But the part the most relieve me the most is the idea that i can make a mistake and is okay, i just can't let the mistake go from an outlier to a new pattern, can't let the mistake become a habit in and of itself. The Democracy of The Self as Tom Frank calls it. Things that mark us deeply stay longer because we continue to exercise the new behaviour, there's a huge emotinal attachment to it, but even things we deeply love can lose it's flavor if we don't exercise enough, as it was with me and Lifting and Volleyball, i loved more than anything and now those feeling feel like a distant past, only a waterdown version remained from the inferno that it was before, only because i had to stop training and thinking about it. Which is crazy, i this is like this even true with our loved ones if we stop thinking about them. Same thing with negative spiral and biased thinking. Repetion is the root of all evil but it can also be a great weapon if we're aware of it.
Right on time! I have an exam in one month and I will implement spacing and testing for sure! I will try out that tree of knowledge thing as well... I get the feeling that'll it will be really helpful!

Hi Ali. First I want to congratulate you on maintining such a high quality channel, you are really making a difference. When I watch your videos it all makes perfect sense and seems like the perfect way to aquire new knowledge. As a software engineering student at Aalborg University we do a lot of group work, which keeps us at the university for at least 8 hours a day and that means we have to use the "cramming" technique when one have to study for a topic in order to not let our fellow students down when doing group exercises. I would like to hear your two cents on how to apply the spaced study sessions in this environment since I find it difficult to plan and study for 5 lectures every week whilst applying spaced repetition. Best regards.
I have my first exam this year in 2 weeks & like a month ago I started "testing" me with ANKI the first time. And well, know I answered nearly everything right I lost my motivation to continue my studies. I wasn't sure about what to do more, than reading the books our profs gave us. So I know that I can't quit to study 2 weeks before and that's why I decided to search techniques or something like study motivation on RUclips - and then I found this video. While I'm watching your video I already know how to challenge myself with the knowledge I earned from learning with ANKI (Tree of knowledge: I can visualize and work on specific categories or go deeper in the subject if I have to). - You motivated me again with giving me a direction - thanks for that video! :)
I love Ali, the fact that I’m just getting into university and majoring in multimedia but want to learn code gives me insight to study both the correct way .
Hey man, thank you. Just want to know me, and possibly a lot others, find your dedication to explaining things like this so helpful to our academics. Honestly wish you the very best in the future.
Please please please, release the video on CATEGORIZATION as soon as possible, I'm eagerly waiting for it. It's the best method for me, it worked wonders. You're the best Ali. Looking forward to more of your videos. You save my day, everyday
Your topic today is so important for studying. I discovered your channel a few days ago. My exams will begin in two weeks. But I didn’t learn enough because of my not-knowing-how-to-learn. Do you have any idea how to realize the STIC-technique for the last days till exams? Thanks a lot for answering ;-)
@@tsitsi_ wow do u think slace repetition actually works ? I do every past ppr exam questions still he exams didnt go as i would have wanted it to 😳😣😣 got the exact same grade in bio ughh how would this work 3 months before the exam for 3 subs full alevels?
Im practicing your framework ever since the start of my college life. Im hoping this will significantly change my performance in the future as I will also study medicine afterwards.
Really great advice. I am a science student and always saw that when I first learned something it made most sense, however when I revisited it it would not stick or make much sense. Hopefully now I can actually learn the content properly.
hey Ali , let just let people know how this beautiful way of learning help an individual.So i am going to start using this technique on a regular basis and as i got my semesters , i'll let everybody know how it helped me improve my grades and my retaining capability. Thankyou♥️
These tips are extremely helpful and powerful some sorts of stuff which at the initial level look hard and tricky and technical in nature. Special thanks to you for sharing tested and evidence based information . Doctor love you bro
Holy cow, I'm so glad I dug this up off an old playlist I'd forgotten about, because now I'm finally about to return to school after a long gap and this is the most incredibly high-value and phenomenally specific study advice video I've seen -- and I've watched many! This is phenomenal material, thank you so much for making it! I'm going for my first full undergrad degree and seriously considering aiming for med school afterward, so I appreciate getting to learn all about things you wish you'd done from the beginning. :)
I used spaced repetition and active recall in my college course this year and I’m expecting 4 A’s when my results come through in August. Thank you for your videos
I have my finals in 5 month and I recently came across Ali’s videos I want to start following all his tips I.e. active recall etc . I will update you guys on how it goes and if my grades improve cos my studying strategy was not effective before coz I always get caught up by exams before I revise certain topics. In sha Allah I hope it works for me
I'd love a video on the effect that believing in ones self has on learning. Particularly relevant at this time when many people are struggling to keep above water and may be feeling hopeless about the future, and their ability to effect change in their lives.
You are doing a great job. It is not possible for all of us for buying courses to know such things and u are providing it for free. Thanks a lot ali....
D-3 before midterm and I was stucked here tired of reading books, then I found this video and spent like 13 minutes for these incredible information🙏❤️ thank you!
Hey Ali! Can you make a video about going through some different types of learning material and how you take notes/active recall/flashcards/study and learn new content? Instead of just describing it, can you actually show a little bit of doing it in real time? Like pharmacology, pathophysiology, conceptual-based learning, and others? I would really appreciate it... I'm getting stuck on the nuance of what to even write as questions when I am studying and how specific I need to be. For example: what do you need to memorize VERBATIM as opposed to making a conclusion yourself, in your own words? Thanks a lot and you are amazing!!!
thanks for making this video! i'm going to go back to high school next week as a senior. college entrance exam started to haunt me and i was confused on how to start studying the new material. this is very helpful for me to create new notes (and not cramming all sylabus on a night).
This is absolutely amazing but it's a couple weeks too late for me. Today's my last a-level exam 😅 I'll be sure to apply this once I'm off to university though
This is a cry for help !!! Hi ali, thank you for you helpfull videos... We really need you to share our problem !! We, moroccan medical student have been striking for almost 3 months against the privatization of the medical education and service, we even went to boycott of the final exams nationwidly which was 100% a sucess! And instead of meeting our demands, the moroccan government and both the education and helth ministries are exerting pressure and threats on us in order to end our protest! 3 of our professors were suspended just for suppoting us, our representatives in the national medical commision have seen their parents being kicked out their jobs, and thats not it, the two ministries also threatens to expluse poor medical students from the passionnat/bording school if they keep protesting #doctorsunderoppression
You are true good human being ,what you have learnt from this world ,you have shared to us .god bless to you .i have learn new things from you at this moments
I know this is an old video and I saw other videos of you explaining spaced repetition and active recall but I'm trying to adapt these methods and use them for my AS exams. You've helped a ton thanks a lot!
I sometimes struggle to actually ask and prepare good questions for active recall. Maybe it's a video-worthy topic you can talk about? Anyway, like your work here, I really appreciate it!

One way to think about it is: "it is only good if you are messing up"
Helped me a lot in understanding and using this ideia.
Completely agree of it’s not using any brain power it probably isn’t helping
Well is it Normal to feel drained out after 3-4 days of studying ?
Where am I going wrong ? Am I doing straight away 7-8 hrs suddenly and then draining myself out or what is the need of the hour. Someone help me improve myself
Maybe 7 hours is too much for you. Maybe your methods are boring, repetitive and not efective. Try to change your schedule and priorize whatever method works better for you. In the video he talks about it.
I came back here to let everyone know that I am finding it hard😭😭😭but it's also working
testing-active recall, flashcards, testing yourself before, during, and after studying
spacing-"deliberate non-practicing", space out study sessions to forget some information
categorizing-if you want learn the information, create a category-based system such as a "tree of knowledge" or "mind map" with branches that hold specific information about that general subject
interleaving-if you're finding learning hard, then you're learning correctly. the brain is like a muscle; work it out.

You're the best Ali. Looking forward to more of your videos. You save my day, everyday
Throughout my time at Cambridge I did the first 2, never tried the second 2....Will give them a go, Thank you!!
We should definitely! Especially once we start working in a few weeks and we can compare our experiences 🙌🏾
We are both going to Peterborough for 2 years! So excited man. Going to be bingeing all your videos about F1, LOL

Your topic today is so important for studying. I discovered your channel a few days ago. My exams will begin in two weeks. But I didn’t learn enough because of my not-knowing-how-to-learn. Do you have any idea how to realize the STIC-technique for the last days till exams?
Thanks a lot for answering ;-)
Smoke a joint and search on RUclips/Google for videos/summaries.. you won't ace it but you should pass 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@tsitsi_ wow do u think slace repetition actually works ? I do every past ppr exam questions still he exams didnt go as i would have wanted it to 😳😣😣 got the exact same grade in bio ughh how would this work 3 months before the exam for 3 subs full alevels?
@@aena5995 omg same
Your videos are motivating me to study space medicine. Thanks for your video.
Im practicing your framework ever since the start of my college life. Im hoping this will significantly change my performance in the future as I will also study medicine afterwards.
How did it go?
Yeah how did it go?
They never come back
Watching you is my biggest flex because it makes me feel like such a smart and responsible individual 🤓
Really great advice. I am a science student and always saw that when I first learned something it made most sense, however when I revisited it it would not stick or make much sense. Hopefully now I can actually learn the content properly.
Thanks Ali, I am student from India. your videos are filled with great content!!.
THIS VIDEO IS REALLY GOING TO HELP ME PASS MY EXAMS! THANKS A LOT!
*this is BRILLIANT thanks ali!!* ❤️❤️❤️

hey Ali , let just let people know how this beautiful way of learning help an individual.So i am going to start using this technique on a regular basis and as i got my semesters , i'll let everybody know how it helped me improve my grades and my retaining capability. Thankyou♥️
ruclips.net/channel/UCi4gL0LsYhz8mFJqIxP9DEw
These tips are extremely helpful and powerful some sorts of stuff which at the initial level look hard and tricky and technical in nature.
Special thanks to you for sharing tested and evidence based information .
Doctor love you bro
You channel is one of the best when it comes to studying techniques! There's really useful and not trivial stuff.
Sara r very pretty

It is difficult to not find this human absolutely adorable.
I usually watch videos at 2x speed but you already talk at 2x regular speed lol, thanks for the video!
This is the single most important video for getting to know how to study!
Amazing work Ali🙏🏽
Mashallah Ali, I was just asking myself how to study for my exams which will be soon and you posted this video just in time, thanks!!
Holy cow, I'm so glad I dug this up off an old playlist I'd forgotten about, because now I'm finally about to return to school after a long gap and this is the most incredibly high-value and phenomenally specific study advice video I've seen -- and I've watched many! This is phenomenal material, thank you so much for making it! I'm going for my first full undergrad degree and seriously considering aiming for med school afterward, so I appreciate getting to learn all about things you wish you'd done from the beginning. :)
I used spaced repetition and active recall in my college course this year and I’m expecting 4 A’s when my results come through in August. Thank you for your videos
I have a test tomorrow, this vedio couldn't have a better timing 🤗
Can you please make a video based on your routine on the day of the exam...
Mega Love from South Africa
I have my finals in 5 month and I recently came across Ali’s videos I want to start following all his tips I.e. active recall etc .
I will update you guys on how it goes and if my grades improve cos my studying strategy was not effective before coz I always get caught up by exams before I revise certain topics. In sha Allah I hope it works for me
So how did it go?
I honestly can't believe your videos are free, if they were shown in schools (or higher) I think people would perform much better
This guy has no idea how much of an impact he's making on our lives . I'm totally addicted to his videos.❤️❤️
I'd love a video on the effect that believing in ones self has on learning. Particularly relevant at this time when many people are struggling to keep above water and may be feeling hopeless about the future, and their ability to effect change in their lives.
This is so well-structured and answered all of my struggling. Thank you so much
You are doing a great job. It is not possible for all of us for buying courses to know such things and u are providing it for free. Thanks a lot ali....
First time here
*And i am really happy to see the quality of ur content whether it is editing or telling ur point.*
I've just discovered your channel, and I have to say thank you for creating such useful and well researched content!!
D-3 before midterm and I was stucked here tired of reading books, then I found this video and spent like 13 minutes for these incredible information🙏❤️
thank you!
Categorizing system works great for 1st year calculus and mathematics in general, especially when you coincide it with a lot of practice 😊
1)Self testing
2) Spacing,re-retrive
3)Mixing(problems,ideas)
Tomorrow my exam,but I have not finished anything yet. Freaking out.
This video came on right time👏.
Hey Ali! Can you make a video about going through some different types of learning material and how you take notes/active recall/flashcards/study and learn new content? Instead of just describing it, can you actually show a little bit of doing it in real time?
Like pharmacology, pathophysiology, conceptual-based learning, and others? I would really appreciate it... I'm getting stuck on the nuance of what to even write as questions when I am studying and how specific I need to be. For example: what do you need to memorize VERBATIM as opposed to making a conclusion yourself, in your own words? Thanks a lot and you are amazing!!!
Thank you for this it was so helpful! I am working towards my PhD and I always struggled with learning new fields, thank you for this video!
i feel lucky to have discovered ur channel before starting medschool
I feel like if I thought like you just once then all my life problems would be solved.... Great video (as they all are) tree of knowledge is genius
Listening To Ali makes me fill like I can do this .
I mean my first term of medical school was hectic .
Am glad I get to learn from you .
Love all your videos. This one is very informative and really helps me.
THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH! I’m going to high school soon, and I really needed this. I’m so happy I discovered you, ty!
Okay but that retrospective timetable is pretty much a life saver
Literally needed this 🙏🏽 my exams are in one week
thanks for making this video! i'm going to go back to high school next week as a senior. college entrance exam started to haunt me and i was confused on how to start studying the new material. this is very helpful for me to create new notes (and not cramming all sylabus on a night).
ruclips.net/channel/UCi4gL0LsYhz8mFJqIxP9DEw
This is absolutely amazing but it's a couple weeks too late for me. Today's my last a-level exam 😅 I'll be sure to apply this once I'm off to university though
to understand the topic people needs to watch half of your videos in YT. Yes you are smart..
Literally studying rn for my Human Structure & Function exam tomorrow! Using the study techniques from your other vid 😊 Wish me luckk!
@@aliabdaal Thank you! :)
The RUclips algorithm has DELIVERED!
This is a cry for help !!!
Hi ali, thank you for you helpfull videos...
We really need you to share our problem !!
We, moroccan medical student have been striking for almost 3 months against the privatization of the medical education and service, we even went to boycott of the final exams nationwidly which was 100% a sucess! And instead of meeting our demands, the moroccan government and both the education and helth ministries are exerting pressure and threats on us in order to end our protest!
3 of our professors were suspended just for suppoting us, our representatives in the national medical commision have seen their parents being kicked out their jobs, and thats not it, the two ministries also threatens to expluse poor medical students from the passionnat/bording school if they keep protesting
#doctorsunderoppression
Amazing tips Ali! Thank you so much! I always find myself coming to your channel whenever I feel unmotivated!
I just watched this video and I think that my life as a 4th year medical student will change for good. Thank you!
Bro you speak very fast and fluent English, and it sounds beautiful.
You are true good human being ,what you have learnt from this world ,you have shared to us .god bless to you .i have learn new things from you at this moments
I know this is an old video and I saw other videos of you explaining spaced repetition and active recall but I'm trying to adapt these methods and use them for my AS exams. You've helped a ton thanks a lot!
Hey Ali can you make a video that you can show how to read effectively and to have a better understanding of a book ?
I sometimes struggle to actually ask and prepare good questions for active recall. Maybe it's a video-worthy topic you can talk about?
Anyway, like your work here, I really appreciate it!
this was one of the most helpful study tips i ever found here on RUclips.
Can you do a video qbout how you do your mind maps? Thank you!!!
Thank you for considering my comment. Your intro is now more direct, much better and grab the attention immediately. Salam from Indonesia
