Thank you for sharing such useful videos！I would want to ask that is the pdf document mentioned on 20:14 still exist？(I couldn't find the link QAQ )

Very informative. Thanks.

The Layering Method for studying effectively consists of three detailed steps: ### Layer One: Foundational Understanding 1. **Skimming and Overview**: Begin by skimming through the relevant chapter or resource to get a general idea of the topic. This involves looking up any unknown keywords and watching introductory videos to understand how bigger concepts are interconnected. This initial skimming lays the groundwork for deeper learning later. . 2. **Mind Mapping**: Create a mind map to visually organize these foundational concepts. This structure helps visualize the connections among various topics, making it easier to recall information later. The mind map should clearly illustrate the flow of information, linking the main ideas together. . ### Layer Two: General Concepts and Recall Questions 1. **Understanding Key Concepts**: Once you have a foundational understanding, start focusing on the general concepts of the topic. Read through secondary resources, adapting the information to grasp how these conditions work without delving into complexities yet. . 2. **Creating Recall Questions**: As you study, formulate simple recall questions that summarize the key points. This step enhances retention by forcing you to articulate what you’ve learned. Aim to write 2-3 questions per section of the material, focusing on the most important information. . ### Layer Three: Complex Details and Continuous Revision 1. **Deep Dive into Complex Information**: After grasping the broad concepts, revisit the complex details that were challenging initially. At this stage, it’s crucial to engage with the more intricate guidelines and specifics of the topic. . 2. **Active Recall and Testing**: Begin your revision by answering the recall questions out loud or in writing. This active recall is essential for solidifying your memory. After attempting the questions, review your answers against the resources to identify gaps in understanding. . 3. **Color-Coding and Ongoing Improvement**: As you continue this cycle of revision, color-code your questions based on their difficulty. Focus on the red-coded questions (the most difficult) in subsequent sessions, continually refining and improving your question set based on what you find most challenging during reviews. . Each layer builds on the previous one, ensuring that by the time you tackle complex information, you have a robust understanding of the foundational concepts and a structured method for revision, making sophisticated topics much more manageable. .

Thank you so much for teaching all of us how to make mindmaps! Truly grateful i came across your video. I'll apply this and check if it works!

Zain, can you recommend study and productivity books that are actually effective

Can you recommend google sheets tutorial to learn it?

Applying this to my master degree program!!

Calling top tier elon musk is cringe. He's a huge bigot. Outside of that nice video.

❤

EdrawMind really helps me generate ideas clearly. It has also helped countless businesses and individuals collaborate, share ideas, and break down complex topics.

Please make a video on how to do well in McQ exams. / How to study for McQ.

literally the best video on this topic!

Amazing video. Just what I needed

Thank you so much for the video

Absolutely goated video. I always noticed these things worked while studying, I just never knew how to make an organized plan out of them. Will be using this my next nursing school sem!

The best video on this topic I've ever seen

Did you learn this from Justin Sung

After so much effort trying to understand your unique approach on mind mapping, I found that your explanation in this video perfectly illustrates the method clearly. your clarity and insight make a significant difference in our learning process. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Any reason why you still use Word(which can be boring)?, every sec of your vid is worthwhile, how accurate!

❤old is gold

Fantastic video, thank you Dr Asif

The last piece of advice is so true that I wish I had known it at the time. Coming home hungry, tired, and asking your brain for that extra mile sounds terrible, but that extra mile every day is many kilometers away from your classmates at the end of the school year.

Hey zain ...there are so many med student youtubers out there who do not support taking notes at all...what's your stance on this....i personally prefer taking notes a lot...as it makes my understanding clear and strong...would really appreciate if u replied

Please bhai check your email 🙏🏽

i have a question if anyone knows the answer, can we use mind maps to study math? Cuz mind map involves visualitation, and i'm still wondering how do i connect the concepts (visually). What frustrate me is that there are so few example for this

Bro i wanna complete my physics lecture note like this please replay bro how to do like thiss

18:47 What should I use as a reference for doing the feynman technique?? Active Recall Questions, Mental Model or just my brain??

Excellent! Thank you 😊😊

thank youuuuu, happy new year!!! <333333

Which app do you use to create those sort of hand written mind maps

Only for apple users?

Thank u for sharing EdrawMind, I'd like to give it a shot!

Thank you for actually putting effort into this video! Really insightful!

Mental Change Is Achieved Through Repetition ......

im just curious are you sindhi ?!?!!

Good

What about concept learned before but can't remember

I upload the chapters from my textbook to chatgpt and ask it to generate a certain amount of questions. Does that work well too?

💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

This is one of the best videos I have seen; thank you so much for this! Everyone keeps saying, 'Everyone has their own way of studying,' but I could not figure out how I should actually study. This is THE perfect how-to-study video, and I am more than excited to replace my old, redundant and ineffective studying habits with all the fantastic tips you have discussed here; kudos to you!

Can anyone summarize the video for better understanding

How do you make such a mind map for a theoretic based topic like roman law... its not easy to draw something cuz its a lot of details etc...

Make video on how to revise effectively pls

Guys what's the software Zain used for creating mindmap. Is it only available on Apple. Tell me some android alternate if you know. Thanks 🪿

Appreciate the vid! Im finding Edraw mind map software very effective for chunking and layering topics. However it’s taking me hella long to create the mind map. Any advice on how to speed up on that part?

this video is very helpful! thank you for sharing your great tips 🤍

Why do you operate your monitor from your laptop? Like why do you have to type on chat gpt using your laptop keyboard and not your monitor keyboard

I am confused. Which video should I watch old videos or this one. Are active recall+? , mind mapping, space repetition enough ? Can anyone help me?

From where was your lecture (90 slides) ppt from?
