I've wanted to study medicine for six years now, but I didn't have the grades so I became a paramedic instead. By now I had kind of given up on my dream, my biggest fears being that I would never be good enough to be a doctor and I'd probably be struggling with studying again after such a long time, but watching your videos has somehow changed my mindset. I finally found the courage to apply for a place at the uni of my dreams. So, I know I'm just a stranger from the internet and this might come out weird, but I really wanted to say thank you, Holly, from the bottom of my heart. 🤗❤
Kirimagine remember that even when you are there, training To be a doctor, you will still feel like perhaps you are not enough. Im in my 3rd year and have a lot of thoughts and anxiety on that because i did not have great grades until now. But guess what that s fine and it doesnt show your value. It s hard to be a doctor and very very hard to be a very good one because you will never see yourself as such... my microbiology professor said this and it really stuck with me. Medicine is not a job it s a career and you will always have to grow for it. If you believe you know nothing then you probably will know enough to be a good doctor. But the most important thing in this career is to strive to be a selfless doctor, a loving people doctor. Just to do your best and do not give up.
@@isabelle2850 Thank you for these kind words. ❤ All I ever wanted is to become a good doctor, not only when it comes to diagnoses and treatments but when all a patient needs is someone to listen to them and really care and see them as a person with feelings, hopes, dreams and fears. I strive to become a doctor people will turn to when they need help because they feel safe and understood when they come to me. I don't know if I can make it, but I will certainly try and work as hard as I can to achieve my goals and be happy. 😊❤
you got everything mate a dancer a singer good at yoga ( flexible af ) pretty hair pretty face pretty body pretty personality good at studies good cook responsible disciplined confident good at time management *how do i exchange lives with you holly ?*
• strong mindset • extra reading •make notes •Essay plans- containing key ideas from important Qs • write essays based on topics in timed conditions • content recall- write whatever you remember from past revision • go back to notes and keep doing a content recall after a while • Flashcards- Write questions and answers of what you struggle to remember from the content recall (write a number with the Q, the number is the amount of things you have to remember for the answer) • Create summary sheets- info you struggle to remember from the flashcards (Including a mind map of the main topics and things you struggle to remember from it •Repetition revision until you remember
You are so clear and systematic in your study methods...while I just get confused as to what to study first and then I end up studying nothing and that stresses me out. Engineering stress me out so much that I get confused as to what to do first. 🙂💚
@@vaishnavipalkar9054 I agree, but it's also fascinating at the same time. Haha so, I'm at community College for my associates in engineering science, but once I'm done with that I'll be doing a Bachelor's in mechanical engineering at a university with a concentration in aerospace engineering. How about you?
How you ranked 1st twice in a row at Cambridge University? Answer: These things helped - Intelligent mind, discipline, organised, persistent and sweet!
I actually watching this when I'm doing math lesson in online class. And I suddenly paying attention to the teacher, which I feel amazed at. Even though I haven't watch it full yet (I paused because I feel the urge to paying attention at class) the comments are very helpful! Thank you so much for Holly and everyone in the comments!
it used to take me a veryyyyyyy very long time (during school), but as soon as i found a method that worked for me, the time i spent making notes was reduced quite drastically. although it still takes me quite some time, i know (having studied now for quite a big chunk of my life 😅) that is it very worthwhile for me!
@@HollyGabrielle I'm going to use a technique made by myself 😅 but my brain says that it will work for me, as I have a lot of syllabus I will read, learn and collect all the material in 4 month of semester then in 2 months vacation I will make notes by active recalling not just copying, wish me luck
That exact number of things you have to remember actually really helps me. I've noticed, that by knowing how many things i have to know makes it a lot easier to remember those things.
i picture notes too, its like when im writing my exam and there's some answer that i cant remember but i remember where it is on my notes so i just try and focus on that image and eventually i remember what it says.
This was BRILLIANT Holly and so perfectly shows why you're as successful as you are in any and all endeavors and not just academia. Your self-analysis, your self-criticism (when you deem it necessary) and your uncanny ability to recover from any speed bumps/failures and forge ahead, making whatever necessary changes, sets you apart from soooo many others!!! 👍👏🌞 Can't wait to continue following your successes and achievements Holly! 🌞
Your revision style is so similar to mine it’s unreal! I used to write my notes out on (sorry but lined) paper and then write it out from memory but when I began getting my family to test me they couldn’t understand it so I’ve started writing them all in the form of questions and numbers of points either on paper or flashcards
Holly, when I was doing my MA In Classical Studies at the Open University, I took lots and lots of notes for my TMAs, EMA, and dissertation and I always noted the page, author, and title of book where I got my sources from. I was not always very organized because I really did not know how to structure my essays with all the notes which I took. I misread my TMA questions and I lost a lot of marks and I did not feel happy when I did not do well in my TMAs until I asked my tutor and SST for help.
this is super helpful and inspiring. I am a PhD student and I still get lost sometimes. So, this is what I needed to work on my studies again. Thanks Holly! all the best with your upcoming Master's journey!
I think the greatest gift you've given with this video is how you normalise or make accessible what seems to be such an unattainable thing. Also seeing how your work ethic reflects in your self expression on youtube (the organisation of this video is PEAK cohesion LOL), is great- it's like, showing by (living) example. Thanks a lot :)
''answer the question you're being asked, exams or not, ANSWER THE QUESTION!'' I'm taking this and applying it in my entire life for as long as I live. Something about the way you said it hit home, almost as if you were directly speaking to me so ..I heard you loud and clear Holy.
to anyone starting out their first/new semester! i'm finishing my second master's degree in October, and i can wholeheartedly recommend the flashcard + summary sheet technique! flashcards (with the number of points to memorise on!) help you drill the information in, and to look at a summary sheet only containing what you "still" don't know just before the exam is really really helpful, as you don't waste time or get distracted by a general/too broad summary sheet where you read a lot of stuff you remember anyway by now... good luck to anyone starting out at uni! :)
IF you want to become a topper, follow these steps - Prioritise written notes (plain paper) - Facilitate studies with extra reading (articles, literature, books) - Organise notes/materials carefully and effectively - Have a growth mindset - Use blurting, Feynman's technique, Pomodoro method and spaced repetition; use flashcards when blurting fails - Create summary sheets prior to exams (containing difficult content) - Create essay plans before writing essays - Repetition, patience and consistency is key to success
All the best on your Master's ❤ I've been attending online lectures for over 2months now and I've had really biased thoughts about it and I often find myself unmotivated to study most of time. I'm so waiting to see you how you manage and help me actually get back to it since you've been my best motivator and inspiration 💫❤
Of all the exam related, notes making videos I have seen, you are the most relatable person. I have always found it hard to relate to a topper except you. Thank you for the information. Stay safe.
Writing the number of points under the question on the front of the flash card is genius. I keep seeing videos saying to write an individual flash card for each point, and I never know which point is on which card because they all have the same question, and I have to go through each point anyway to get the correct answer. I am in my late 50s and learning a foreign language. Thank you so much for this tip! Excellent!
Dear holly , I've been watching your videos for literally ... 2-3 years and I just want to say I'm really proud of you . You inspire me . And I love your personality . Keep it up ✨
Heyyy Holly I'm so so proud of u. For somone who'd always been into the culture of competition with the other, I ve really struggled with my self-confidence when I found myself at the bottom line. I'm doing a 3rd year ALEVELS n you really an example n one of the humans who give me hope. ❤️Lots of love n admiration frm Mauritius 🇲🇺
Thank you Holly - excellent tutorial which will definitely help me with my exam prep. Even an old man like myself (53) studying for a professional exam can learn from you here - particularly like your flashcard process, as I like to bullet point and remember facts rather than lengthy sentences/paragraphs, and this is a clever technique! Hopefully it will help me get a pass.. Good luck with your masters!
I so needed this. I'm a hospital pharmacist who finished the training year in July and our exam has been postponed. We have no idea when it will be and our governing body is giving us no information about it. So not only am I exhausted from working on the front line during this pandemic, I also have zero motivation and honestly haven't studied for months. Thank you so much, this is the boost I needed
This sounds good, although I remember that when I went to university, there was just too much stuff to memorise and too many books and papers to read, I wouldn't ever have time to take precise notes or make flashcards for every subject. I had my techniques on how to read a (compulsory) book once and remember as much as possible. You somehow get better and better at it after a while.
Oh holly it's the first video I've seen of yours and I'm sure it will open a gate of inspiration and motivation for me .....I really adore you....so useful tips
You should genuinely do a bloopers videos showing all the bloopers cause that would be a straight 20-30mins comedy show on how one sometimes just doesnt use their brain😂❤
The way that you say "Did Well" and "Not So Well" proves that you have a great grasp of positive self-talk. Amazing content here Holly, thank you for sharing it with us
I don’t even know you and I’m so proud of you!! 😂 Seriously; I love seeing RUclips videos of wonderful people from accross the pond that I will never get to meet. It’s a bittersweet feeling actually but makes me motivated to improve my life even though I’m older now. Enjoy your life! 🌈 ☀️ ☮️
Holly is such an inspiration. She inspired me on my first degree journey,and now I'm in my second degree, I still use her methods and it still works for me. Looking forward on my masters next year. ^^
You missed the most important one: be conscious of what you actually want to do and the time it takes. Once you do that you spend less time on your phone. Also, sleep enough hours. Responsability and discipline consume energy!
i had a good start for class 12 i planned it so well but as the days went by i got really messed up with tuition ,school and not to forget to mention peer pressure i got real messed up i couldn't work for months and now i am recovering as i watch you you really are inspiring me and i couldn't thank enough .you saved me Love from INDIA
im currently studying bachelor of science in medical technology right now. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE INSPIRATION HOLLY!!! I LOVE YOU! I really needed this huhu
Oh my God!!!! Thanku so so so much for this video Coz I was procrastinating and I didn't know what to do with my pile of syllabuses!!!! And you came as an angel!!!! Now I have an idea about where to start and that's bcoz of you holly.... I watch your every single video since 2016 ( the year I found your channel and it changed my life into a more productive one ) TYSM!!!HOLLY....😘😘LOVE FROM LAND OF COCONUT!!! (KERALA)💜💜
Yep healthy growth mindset is the key for success, I agree with this. I also benefited from it in my module 1. Before and submitting assignments, I also cried quite often when I saw the feedback from my supervisors “ need improvements”. But it was strange I didn’t want to give on my tasks!!! Thank you for your sharing!!!
Been following you since the beginning and I think this is one of your best/most useful study related videos so far!! Thank you, I got so much out of this! :)
I felt really bad to compete with friends in school, and I cannot solve this problem for the last whole year. I did not know how to solve this dilemma till this video... As you said, MINDSET is soooo important! From now on I'll try my best to focus on myself, trying to become a better me. (sorry about my poor English🥺) Thank you, Holly❤❤❤
It's my bad that this is my video of your channel and Idk why didnt youtube recommended you long back on my home page.. ily girl you are so awesome..... and ya congrats for topping
definitely wished i knew what your saying about failure and growth mindset at your age. I failed uni really bad when i first went many years ago. I was scared to even go back to it, but i learnt about growth mindset etc. Now 10 years later, i'm smashing it. Don't worry about the result! Worry about the process and grow.
I know this might seem like a trivial question but perhaps I’m just abit anxious about asking my lecturers... you mentioned how you would write essays and send them to be marked ? I’m assuming these essays aren’t assignments so I just wanted to ask if you ever had any lecturers turn down your essay or not mark it ? (Maybe because they didn’t have the time or just didn’t want to ¿) and how did you go about asking them to “mark” it or review it ? I’d really appreciate any advice !
I would ask the lecturer after class. You can try saying, "please, if you have some time this week, I would appreciate it if you corrected this essay that I wrote". Don't worry too much about asking them. It's their job to teach you and help you. I'm sure they would be happy to help. : )
Taking notes is how I succeed as a student! The key for me is that I don’t make them short/concise, mine are clearly written out in a way that I understand and, most importantly, I write down how the information is APPLIED rather than just facts because that is what comes up on exams. I usually hand write them on 3/4 of a page of lined paper and leave the last 1/4 to make extra notes in case I need to add something (usually application points that the professor brings up in class!). I usually don’t have to study for my finals because how I take notes allows me to learn/absorb the information as I go!
You're so so motivating Holly. Just because of you i could get back on track with my studies. You're so positive and will be waiting for more study secrets videos like this!!! Love you loads ❤️💕😊💜
The main difference between developed and developing countries are this, if you want to study in developed countries, you can study very well. In developing countries, it is very tough to study.
for some reason, when I struggle to remember in my exam I just imagine my teachers voice and picture them walking around in the classroom explaining whatever i dont remember and it works like a charm
I would love to see a video about how you pulled out the information from the papers and turned them into your notes. And can you show some of your notes? Digital and on paper? You are a great inspiration!!!
13:00 the reason is exactly why memery palaces are so effective.Im pretty sure that reason is the humen brain was never designed to memorize digits/numbers it was made to know locations.For example: where food, home, danger, water, safety, etc. So by memorizing by location it is easier to remember things.If this works especially well for you @Holly Gabrielle then I recommend you check out memory palaces .
The focus should be on obtaining knowledge, developing critical thinking, broadening understanding. If your focus is on being number one and being constrained by structure you will have missed the point of academia and lowered your intellect. I struggle to see how any of this is congruent with a growth mindset. Finally with respect to memorisation, this does not result in deep encoding into longterm memory. Understanding rather than memorisation creates stronger encoding in long-term memory facilitated by the hippocampus and develops a complex network of related schemas and maps.
I really wish it were like this, but unfortunately (at least for me), it's not. I'm a med student, and it doesn't matter how much I try to connect things and go more in depth, 70% of the things are just things to memorise..
You're SOoo frickin productive and inspiring!👍 And then there's me studying a day before exams...AAHH I'd like to trade places just for a day and have the feeling of everything done and dusted lol❤️
Hi Holly, I'm so interested in hearing how you study. It'd be wonderful if you keeping making these videos. I feel many of my peers are getting top grades but don't want to admit their level of commitment. It kinds of create an impression that they get the grades on pure talent. But Reality is that they try very hard and also in a smart way. I really like it that you are smart and work really hard. It's also really cool to that you're willing to share your experience!!
Me: binge watching RUclips and does not want to do work RUclips: WATCH THIS NOW AND GO STUDY Me: finishes watching it and goes on to binge watching more

So not only am I exhausted from working on the front line during this pandemic, I also have zero motivation and honestly haven't studied for months.
Thank you so much, this is the boost I needed
This sounds good, although I remember that when I went to university, there was just too much stuff to memorise and too many books and papers to read, I wouldn't ever have time to take precise notes or make flashcards for every subject. I had my techniques on how to read a (compulsory) book once and remember as much as possible. You somehow get better and better at it after a while.
Same, I struggled to pass and I did but barely :/ I graduated with all Cs
Oh holly it's the first video I've seen of yours and I'm sure it will open a gate of inspiration and motivation for me .....I really adore you....so useful tips
You should genuinely do a bloopers videos showing all the bloopers cause that would be a straight 20-30mins comedy show on how one sometimes just doesnt use their brain😂❤
The way that you say "Did Well" and "Not So Well" proves that you have a great grasp of positive self-talk.
Amazing content here Holly, thank you for sharing it with us
Thats cool! I hadnt noticed that
I don’t even know you and I’m so proud of you!! 😂 Seriously; I love seeing RUclips videos of wonderful people from accross the pond that I will never get to meet. It’s a bittersweet feeling actually but makes me motivated to improve my life even though I’m older now. Enjoy your life! 🌈 ☀️ ☮️
From a long time i was wishing when will holly put up some motivational or study related videos, thank you so much!!!!😊

@@lostsoul989 maybe that's their name chile
Holly is such an inspiration. She inspired me on my first degree journey,and now I'm in my second degree, I still use her methods and it still works for me. Looking forward on my masters next year. ^^
You missed the most important one: be conscious of what you actually want to do and the time it takes. Once you do that you spend less time on your phone. Also, sleep enough hours. Responsability and discipline consume energy!
True
Ya somewhat true! thanks!

Yep healthy growth mindset is the key for success, I agree with this. I also benefited from it in my module 1. Before and submitting assignments, I also cried quite often when I saw the feedback from my supervisors “ need improvements”. But it was strange I didn’t want to give on my tasks!!! Thank you for your sharing!!!
I LOVE the points u made! This is the first vid I’ve seen of urs and I’m subbing!!!
Literally me! Lol, I’m glad RUclips suggested her to me
Been following you since the beginning and I think this is one of your best/most useful study related videos so far!! Thank you, I got so much out of this! :)
ahhhh love this feedback - thanks kate!!!
Hollyyy Finallllyy
Waited for this video for so long ❤
Love❤
I am so glad that I found holly
On RUclips you are the best , realistic and hard working person I love you so much wishing you best of luck 🤗🤗😘😘
the visual memory of notes and the order they go in.. i literally picture my flashcards in the exam.. i think we are the same person lmao
Have literally been waiting for this video for ages. Thanks a lot, Holly!
I felt really bad to compete with friends in school, and I cannot solve this problem for the last whole year. I did not know how to solve this dilemma till this video... As you said, MINDSET is soooo important! From now on I'll try my best to focus on myself, trying to become a better me.
(sorry about my poor English🥺)
Thank you, Holly❤❤❤
i totally agree with you. i still find myself doing this, but it takes daily reminders to remember that you only need to focus on YOURSELF 💪🏻
Hey, I just want to say thanks. Seriously, I don't know how you did it but you gave me motivation no one ever did. So THANK YOU!
Our Holly is the smartest and the most helpful and kind girl I have ever seen.
Love you Holly💜
THANK UUUU,you're literally so selfless for sharing all these useful infor,thank you a thousand times😂️
I can tell just by looking at your hair that you're another einstein
True, She's a reincarnation of Einstein
He came back so fast
It's my bad that this is my video of your channel and Idk why didnt youtube recommended you long back on my home page.. ily girl you are so awesome..... and ya congrats for topping
Literally if I get the same power as holly ❣️❣️has , my all academic and career problem will be solved...
definitely wished i knew what your saying about failure and growth mindset at your age. I failed uni really bad when i first went many years ago. I was scared to even go back to it, but i learnt about growth mindset etc. Now 10 years later, i'm smashing it. Don't worry about the result! Worry about the process and grow.
I know this might seem like a trivial question but perhaps I’m just abit anxious about asking my lecturers... you mentioned how you would write essays and send them to be marked ? I’m assuming these essays aren’t assignments so I just wanted to ask if you ever had any lecturers turn down your essay or not mark it ? (Maybe because they didn’t have the time or just didn’t want to ¿) and how did you go about asking them to “mark” it or review it ? I’d really appreciate any advice !
I would ask the lecturer after class. You can try saying, "please, if you have some time this week, I would appreciate it if you corrected this essay that I wrote". Don't worry too much about asking them. It's their job to teach you and help you. I'm sure they would be happy to help. : )
Taking notes is how I succeed as a student! The key for me is that I don’t make them short/concise, mine are clearly written out in a way that I understand and, most importantly, I write down how the information is APPLIED rather than just facts because that is what comes up on exams. I usually hand write them on 3/4 of a page of lined paper and leave the last 1/4 to make extra notes in case I need to add something (usually application points that the professor brings up in class!). I usually don’t have to study for my finals because how I take notes allows me to learn/absorb the information as I go!
You're so so motivating Holly. Just because of you i could get back on track with my studies. You're so positive and will be waiting for more study secrets videos like this!!! Love you loads ❤️💕😊💜
omg i always do the "picturing thing" tooo finallyyyy ive found someone who uses that technique tysmm holly
The main difference between developed and developing countries are this, if you want to study in developed countries, you can study very well. In developing countries, it is very tough to study.
for some reason, when I struggle to remember in my exam I just imagine my teachers voice and picture them walking around in the classroom explaining whatever i dont remember and it works like a charm
Can you do a vid about how you studied in high school or how you got into Cambridge? Love your vids!!
You're really a dedicated and honest student, bcoz u r giving those years of experience to us, hats off!👏😊
I would love to see a video about how you pulled out the information from the papers and turned them into your notes. And can you show some of your notes? Digital and on paper? You are a great inspiration!!!
sure i can think about doing this!!!
13:00 the reason is exactly why memery palaces are so effective.Im pretty sure that reason is the humen brain was never designed to memorize digits/numbers it was made to know locations.For example: where food, home, danger, water, safety, etc. So by memorizing by location it is easier to remember things.If this works especially well for you @Holly Gabrielle then I recommend you check out memory palaces .
Impossible to get a heart from Holly ..
possible 😉
Congratulations you actually got a heart from Holly :0
@@hobissprite8772 thanks
@@StudyWithShreyality your channel is awesome ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
@@StudyWithShreyality Not Nagendra Ananya .....I am look for a channel who gives a lot motivation because I wanted to go in air force....
I really thought that the amount of studying you did was the time everyone has to spend on work at uni! This is such a relief honestly :)
This is amazing advice I’m going to Include it into my A-Level Revision/ Timetabling ❤️
Good luck for your A-levels!!
Congratulations. We have seen you work so hard and I really appreciate and I'm really very happy and proud of you
The focus should be on obtaining knowledge, developing critical thinking, broadening understanding.
If your focus is on being number one and being constrained by structure you will have missed the point of academia and lowered your intellect.
I struggle to see how any of this is congruent with a growth mindset.
Finally with respect to memorisation, this does not result in deep encoding into longterm memory. Understanding rather than memorisation creates stronger encoding in long-term memory facilitated by the hippocampus and develops a complex network of related schemas and maps.
I really wish it were like this, but unfortunately (at least for me), it's not. I'm a med student, and it doesn't matter how much I try to connect things and go more in depth, 70% of the things are just things to memorise..
You're SOoo frickin productive and inspiring!👍 And then there's me studying a day before exams...AAHH I'd like to trade places just for a day and have the feeling of everything done and dusted lol❤️
HOLLY IS MY BIGGEST INSPIRATION AND ROLE MODEL.PERIODT
Hi Holly, I'm so interested in hearing how you study. It'd be wonderful if you keeping making these videos.
I feel many of my peers are getting top grades but don't want to admit their level of commitment. It kinds of create an impression that they get the grades on pure talent. But Reality is that they try very hard and also in a smart way. I really like it that you are smart and work really hard. It's also really cool to that you're willing to share your experience!!
I'm here looking at this instead that studying for my exam on Friday, but that's alright I guess ahah
A podcast with you and Ali Abdaal would be SO interesting to listen/ watch! Well done!
Me: binge watching RUclips and does not want to do work
RUclips: WATCH THIS NOW AND GO STUDY
Me: finishes watching it and goes on to binge watching more
