Great video! It was really nice to see that there are people like Samuel who mentioned that importance of food and not just learning methods. Because if you eat junk food during your exam preparation phase, you feel tired and unmotivated and you won't be able to build up body like Arnold ;)

[@SamuelBoschMIT]

So true! 🙂

[@frankbosch9480]

Sehr interessant! Toll dass Du sogar die Wichtigkeit von Schlaf betonst.😀

[@MrCatsbrown]

Awesome video. Gotta start battle planning for finals 😢😂

[@SamuelBoschMIT]

Best of luck! 💪

[@s.f.2426]

Great video! Super helpful, thanks! More videos on your study methods, your workflow etc please!! A nutrition-video would be great as well.

[@SamuelBoschMIT]

Thank you 😊 Working on more videos!

[@mrittiiii]

Absolutely loving your contents. Here for like 3 days, almost completed watching all your videos :))

[@SamuelBoschMIT]

Thank you 😊 I’m very glad you’re enjoying all of my videos!

[@clementfrgt2437]

Really useful tips with exam session getting closer and closer🥲, should be easier by applying those though!

[@SamuelBoschMIT]

Best of luck with your exams, Clément! 🙂

Here is a small recap! But make sure you watch the full video for a better understanding. #1 Create a study plan. Make sure that you have a "buffer day" as long as a revision day. #2 Study using active recall and spaced repetition. #3 Study in groups (with people on the same "level" as you). #4 Eat healthily. A balanced diet of nutritious food will help you work better. #5 Sleep enough. If anything you should be sleeping more during exam season, rather than less. #6 Workout. Even if it is for a few minutes, daily exercise will help you focus more and avoid burnouts.

Riesen Respekt für deine Leistung damals das ist ja echt unfassbar. Ich würde vermutlich schon daran scheitern den Kalender so einzurichten😂. Unfassbar gute Videos in letzter Zeit mach unbedingt weiter so💪. Hab leider sehr wenig Zeit im Moment aber früher oder später schaue ich mir alle Videos an😎

[@SamuelBoschMIT]

Danke miro! Viel Erfolg mit allem 💪🙂

[@Kvx97]

Watching your videos is always the best way to keep my motivation up to study ! Keep up the Good work! Grüße aus Deutschland :)!

[@SamuelBoschMIT]

Glad you like them :) Liebe Grüße aus Massachusetts

Hello Samuel, thanks for your great video! I wonder how you think of studying at night and sleep for ~7 hours in the morning :)

[@SamuelBoschMIT]

Well, this just means you live in a different time zone :) as long as you have a regular sleep schedule and get enough sleep, it should be fine :)

[@karl-felixschamel3768]

So when you had 10 days to learn a topic, when did you start doing Anki/spaced repetition? Day 2? Did the proportion dedicated to it increase with the number of days? Also, how much coffein did you consume? :D

[@dbu666]

Great video! How strict are you with alcohol consumption? Did you setup any rules for yourself?

[@SamuelBoschMIT]

Not really strict rules, but I try not to drink too much as it is unhealthy. Maybe 1-2 drinks per week at most

[@tanmayjyothis5329]

Hey Samuel, can you make a video on the courses you took in your undergrad, or briefly mention it as part of a video that covers a broader topic? I am currently a first-year computer science major with a strong interest in physics. I learned about quantitative finance recently (reading nassim taleb), and want to try it out. What kind of courses would you suggest for quant trading from a stem perspective?

[@SamuelBoschMIT]

I might make a video soon about all the good courses available online from MIT :)

[@tanmayjyothis5329]

@@SamuelBoschMIT thank you, I appreciate the content you make.

Sir, How to crack any competitive exam?

[@finn9000]

Thank you 💗

[@SamuelBoschMIT]

You're welcome 😉

[@beraynilatabey193]

Hi! What would you suggest for your first year bachelors students? I want to have a strong foundation and a strong study plan that I can use for the rest of my academic life and career, but I'm overall confused with how university works

[@SamuelBoschMIT]

I'd say try to do a good job with the basic courses. But don't overload more courses than you need. Rather, focus on getting hands-on experience thorough internships and research opportunities :)

[@user-wr4yl7tx3w]

Is the syllabus for the course Statistics for Data Science available online?

[@SamuelBoschMIT]

I dont think so, but I didnt even like the coursse too much. I'd recommend you find a better course somewhere. Maybe OCW MIT

[@KALElite01]

Still waiting for a meal prep video

[@SamuelBoschMIT]

It’s gonna happen in the coming months. I’m currently working with a few sponsors, so topics are a bit different. But in early 2023 I will make such a video

[@theonlyalecazam2947]

Should I major in electrical or computer engineering?

[@SamuelBoschMIT]

Hard for me to tell without knowing you. If you're more interested in EE, then go for it. If you're indifferent, then maybe CE might be a better way to go

[@elbekasatullayev2494]

Hello bro! What's your advice for the winning IMO or IPHO!

[@josuel.9598]

He's got a great vid on his channel already about it, it's called The Ultimate Problem-Solving Strategy.

[@linush.7794]

Are there any possibilities that you would cooperate with another educational YT-Channel?

[@SamuelBoschMIT]

If such a collaboration would be mutually beneficial and not take a lot of time, I would consider it :)
