Hmmm tbh I found the retrospective timetable really useful but only when coupled with a prospective revision timetable! so set out your (expected) dates - because it provides a goal + estimate, then as the days go by, mark down how much you've done and level of confidence. Expected date can be altered according to the confidence level. - great idea but I think the prospective part is REALLY important when making a revision timetable.

I also did something kinda cool , first after writing down all the topics of a certain chapter on google sheets I would click COMMENT and add my active recall questions right there. so flash cards/retrospective table all in one thank you for all the tips that you share so motivating! all the best to you

Okay, I tried this approach for four months this year and it worked well; it kept me motivated to study every day because I always had things to revise, but now it's April 2024 and there are a lot of new topics coming in. And I was unable to review the topics I studied in February 2024 (even though the majority of them are green). But I wanted to go over them in case I had forgotten. So, it made me wonder if I should include dates in advance like in prospective revision of when I want to review previous topics in a spaced repetition method from now on...Which I will do.

I watched this video and created this timetable like 2 weeks ago and I’m doing my A levels right now. Honestly I’m really glad a watched this video because I was overwhelmed with the amount of information I needed to learn. It’s definitely a great way to pick which topics I need to do. Also I found that I learned and active recalled quite a lot of information in a short time, I wasn’t really expecting this but it’s a benefit. I also watched a video were Ali explains how his friend ranked first at in uni by writing hundreds of questions based on the topic which is exactly the same thing I’m doing right now😅 and it’s going really well but yeah I thank you for making these videos. Honestly you are a live saver❤️🙏🏾

@@alikoali5573 Once you have come across with the information that you need to learn, that’s when you start writing questions that will answer that information that you learned in class. For example for my A level Biology I just learned about chromatids, so then I will write “what’s the definition of a chromatid” and answer it.

@@abubakr7304 doing it little by little everyday will is enough to cover the whole topic. Trying to apply this for maths is quite difficult but it can come in handy when learning how to prove something in maths like algebraic prove and all that. Revision in maths is mainly practice questions to be honest.

This video is a game changer.. Its great as it can be applied to any subject. I'm currently studying accounting (AAT then ACCA) and I naturally came across active recall whilst actually not knowing nothing about active recall.. I would revise and keep on taking tests and I noticed that I was holding onto so much more information instead of just reading the book, highlighting & making notes which i use to do. I recently found your channel a few weeks ago and watched a few of your videos and I have been putting what ive learnt from yourself into practice and i feel even more prepared and confident. Many thanks Ali! Keep up the great work, loving your content.

The only downside of the retrospective timetable in my opinion is that most students wouldn't have the foresight to gauge how long they had before the exams so they might end up doing 5 chapters extremely well over the period of two weeks but cram in the other 5 in the last week or so. Personally, I use the prospective revision timetable but I do have the chapter list of the retrospective revision timetable on a separate sheet and I colour code them and update them whenever I finish studying one chapter and feel more confident about it. Hope yous got what I meant x

Yes Ali I do the revision like this. I just don’t know that this really exists and thought I was the most weird one doing so . Who thinks of topics and doesn’t seem like a geek who has a thought about the future or predict the future and make a plan . Also I used the active recall and spaced repetition techniques without DVD. Having the knowledge of they existed so during my Med school. And yes I topped my University too that year and don’t know how it was miraculously. Now I recall of those and think that they are really valuable techniques and I discovered and did them myself . Glad I came across this content which confirms that these do exist and are really keys to do well. And learning be becomes fun and you become more confident as you keep doing these. That’s what I had observed and it takes little effort to reach that level of perfection.
