knowledge is not intelligence

[@JesusLightsYourPath]

I used to just memorize everything and it didnt help much in school, sometimes I could ace the exam if it was a short test but then by the end of the year id forget everything i memorized. it's better to actually understand what you're learning and remember that than to just memorize stuff.

PART 1: Priming the information Step 1 : create mental model 1) Skim read the chapters (bold and highlighted words) and write down key terms from them 2) look up the words u have no idea about (30 secs per word) This should take about 10 mins 3) Link the concepts together using prior information - mind mapping Step 2: The initial questions/pretesting 15-20 questions before diving into topic (atleast attempt) Step 3: Pre reading 10:27 PART 2: Absorbing the information Step 1: Layering 1) skimming and scanning 2) go over general concepts and overviews using multiple sources like google, books (avoid getting into details) 3) go through the difficult concepts one by one Step 2: creating recall questions Step 3: teaching everything (15-20 mins) 22:04 PART 3: Retrieving the information Recalling question method 1) answer the list of questions without using any resources or notes (spend generous time) 2) go through the content and fill in any knowledge gaps 3) keep repeating the first two steps 4) come code the questions based on difficulty Interleaving PART 4: Spacing the information Day 1 Day 4 Day 14 Day 40 For an exam, prepare 4-5 weeks ago so u get atleast 3 repetitions for difficult topics and 1-2 repetitions for easy topics

Truly excellent guide. A++++ . I wish I had this before I started med school. Everyone says "don't study hard, study smart" without actually explaining what that means.

[@Striker-277]

Too complex. Did it actually work for you ? Thanks.

[@bismuthezoid]

I love how this video gives super specific tips instead of just being like "prioritize" "study the important topics" "use active recall" or giving tips that are too advanced for study tube surfers like me. It actually feels beginner friendly and something you could start to do right away, at the same time doing it consistently would make you more efficient at it

[@Samiha17]

this is not a study video but THE STUDY VIDEO. Tysmmmmm for making studying actually make sense T-T. may God bless u.

[@zain_asif]

💪💪 thank you!

[@aishamurtaza1584]

I am so thankful to you for putting out this video. As someone who was falling into the pools of videos available on KZbin about studying methods, I have found my stop. I am grateful that you have summarised all the things in one place. And yes, the last point about still allowing oneself to study in not so "strict" manner resonated a lot with me, since it is the way I can be motivated and find the topic interesting instead of procrastinating. I hope you keep posting such great videos.

[@zain_asif]

Honestly that was the exact purpose of the video, so happy you found it useful really appreciate this ❤️

[@phanikatam4048]

in a simple way take keypoints in topics which cover whole topic , google the keypoints to know what it the keypoint is about now we understood about key points and make a relationships with each other by mental model mapping like similarities / dissimiliaritis etc connections now active recall by testing questions , teaching (layman) spaced revision

THE ONLY KZbinR WHO PRESENTED THE EXACT STEP-BY-STEP METHOD ON HOW TO STUDY EFFECTIVELY!!! I have been doing this method many years ago now. I felt pressured because most of the students were using Anki flashcards which for me, wasnt effective at all.

[@buonnyyyyy]

I keep rewatching this vid whenever I forget the steps. This is the best, most comprehensive and personal guide for effective studying I have come across on yt. Most vids I come across on yt tell you the same thing over and over again without giving practical methods and examples. I will watch it again and again until this becomes my study habit. Your my study mentor and saviour for my med school. Thank you Zain!! All the best with yr own studies as well :))

[@zain_asif]

Thats so kind of you thank you so much

[@hrishikeshgovindbirje7405]

The second step he mentioned about testing before preparing the topics. Really helps as it keep us conscious while studying the topic and eventually leading to more absorption of information.

[@nettiemooo7629]

I think you pointing out about time has really helped me. I always think that revision would be too arduous to do but I’m sure I can spent 15 minutes making mind maps !!! It sounds simple but the fear of starting is really holding me back and having a method really helps !!

[@zain_asif]

Thats exactly it... Usually all of us have some irrational fear abt not having enough time for the useful techniques but im glad u overcame urs

[@esmaa450]

this is the first time ive seeen a medical student talk about studying with mentioning anki. I have the exact problem of procrastinating as i feel i don't have enough energy for the most efficient learning. Youre the first person I've heard mention that its okay to do some less effiecient methods sometimes. This fills me with so much relief! Barakallah feek for this video!!!

Can you explain to me in a simple way what he said in the video, because I did not understand well

[@zain_asif]

So glad its helped 😁

[@prabalbhardwaj1829]

Notes for MYSELF 1. Priming the Information ( i should learn like) - creating a mental model -> take a overlook of words and pattern-nize over the topics and subtopics that are there and then i shall test myself from this model itself by sort of asking preliminary questions i crack those ques or not -> pre-reading - mandatory process. 2. Absorbing the Information - (all about relevancy that has come from previous step) -> layering with the help of pattern i created before but in order of *easy to hard* and then going through the hard topics one by one via mental model -> then create sub-questions almost similar to in the PART 1. 3. Retrieving the Information ( almost similar to feynman technique ) 4. Spacing the Information - spaced repetition - 1, 4 , 14 and 40th day revision - at least 3 before the test

[@zain_asif]

Nice summary I like it

[@not_a_minion]

YOU'RE A LIFESAVER- this is the most helpful study video I've seen

[@lucsas9277]

ive been searching so long for an actual guide that teaches me how to study for getting into med school and after hours and days of searching, this is the first actual guide that achieves that very well, all the other guides dont actually give methods for studying, just that you can study this, and you can study that, etc, to test myself, I made a mindmap of the vid and even questioned myself on it, might sound stupid but it worked so well, tysm!

[@zain_asif]

I love that ... mindmap of the vid lol, email it to me if you still have it ([e-mail])

[@kgh22]

9min 39secs into the video and already in awe with your explaination. Some of the already mentioned techniques I've tried first hand and they are game changing indeed, going to try everything you've said. Keep making such videos!!

[@QuadrupleAStudio]

This awesome video deserves a time-taking summary, which you all can you use if you want Summary - 00:00 Many people struggle with remembering what they study. - 00:05 This is because we are not taught how to learn effectively. - 00:20 A third-year medical student named Zay Oif has created a guide on efficient learning. - 00:28 The guide covers everything from topic selection to revision. - 00:36 Zay Oif spent 16 hours researching and reading to create the guide. - 00:46 The guide has helped Zay Oif improve his ability to understand and remember topics. - 00:53 The guide is interactive and includes practical actions for viewers to take. - 01:16 The guide is split into four parts: priming, absorbing, retrieving, and spacing the information. - 01:25 The speaker asks the audience to write down four steps and think about how they use priming, retrieval, and spacing in their studying process. - 01:31 The audience is encouraged to consider their own learning process and how it can be improved. - 01:39 The audience is reminded that they already have some idea about what the words mean. - 01:45 The speaker emphasizes the importance of thinking about one's own learning process. - 01:52 The speaker shares a technique for studying effectively. - 01:55 Before diving into a new topic, the speaker suggests skimming through the subtopics for 10 to 15 minutes. - 02:02 The speaker recently started implementing a key part of the studying process that has increased their speed and changed the way they learn. - 02:14 The traditional way of learning involves reading information multiple times until it somewhat makes sense, but it is inefficient and leads to poor understanding. - 02:45 The speaker proposes flipping the learning process by first understanding the structure and concepts of a chapter before reading through it. - 02:56 Our brain doesn't process information in a linear way, so it's important to create connections and associations when studying. - 03:09 Creating a broad mental framework is a helpful strategy when studying a new topic. - 03:12 To study effectively, the first step is to build a mental model of the topic. - 03:36 There is a three-step practical method to create this model. - 03:39 Start by getting an overview of the topic. - 03:43 Then, dive into the details and learn the concepts and ideas. - 03:44 When learning something new, start by scanning the chapter and writing down 15-20 key words, but don't copy them in the same structure as the chapter. - 04:19 Studying using the author's structure may slow down learning, as the author may not have written the chapter in the best way for learning. - 04:47 Our minds can't absorb information in a linear way, so it's important to start with an unordered list of key words to prevent bias. - 04:56 Understanding foundational concepts is crucial before moving on to anything else. - 05:07 To study effectively, start by looking up unfamiliar keywords and spending 30 seconds on each to understand their meaning. - 05:16 Avoid reading too deeply into one specific concept and instead focus on understanding how the words relate to the rest of the concepts. - 05:25 Complete this process for all the words in under 10 minutes. - 05:29 Utilize your prior knowledge to connect different words, ideas, and concepts within the chapter. - 05:36 Create a mind map that links all the connections you've identified. - 05:39 To study effectively, create a mind map that organizes concepts based on similarities or differences. - 06:03 Making a good mind map requires active thinking and understanding of how concepts connect. - 06:18 Initially, it may take up to 30 minutes to create a mind map, but with practice, it becomes a 15-minute activity. - 06:29 Creating a mind map speeds up the learning process and helps in understanding the main concepts of a chapter. - 06:45 Before moving to the next section, the video creator asks for likes and comments to improve the content. - 07:02 Creating a mind map has implications for effective studying. - 07:04 To study effectively, create a mental model of the topic and relate new information to it. - 08:30 Testing yourself before learning promotes longer retention compared to other techniques. - 10:01 Pre-reading before diving into a new topic helps prime the brain and fill knowledge gaps. - 11:54 To absorb information while reading, give it meaning and relevance by relating it to the mental model. - 12:55 Creating a mental model and mind map is important for effective studying. - 13:39 Reading information in layers, from easiest to hardest, is more efficient than reading line by line. - 14:38 Creating recall questions while studying helps with retention and testing oneself later. - 17:27 Teaching the material to oneself is an effective way to solidify understanding. - 18:38 The speaker emphasizes the importance of paying attention to every detail and using analogies and mnemonics to enhance memory retention. - 19:12 Retrieving information through testing oneself is shown to be more effective than passive learning methods like rereading or summarizing. - 19:53 Testing should be repeated at spaced intervals for optimal retention. - 20:10 A study demonstrates that students who tested themselves performed significantly better than those who restudied the material. - 20:47 Active recall, such as answering questions and practicing retrieval, should be incorporated into study sessions. - 22:12 The speaker recommends starting each revision session with recall questions and then reviewing the content to fill in knowledge gaps. - 22:57 Testing oneself and reviewing the learning material should be intertwined in the learning process. - 23:32 The recall question method is suggested as a more effective alternative to flashcards for retaining and understanding complex information. - 24:32 Effective studying involves creating a bigger picture. - 24:41 Understanding different problem types is important. - 25:02 Test yourself with a variety of problem types. - 25:20 Practice recall questions with one or two problems per type. - 26:03 Spacing out practice sessions improves long-term retention. - 26:32 Allowing yourself to forget information makes retrieval more effective. - 27:02 Use spaced repetition to interrupt the forgetting curve. - 27:40 Cleverly space out repetitions to prioritize weaker topics. - 28:53 Efficient studying leads to better exam performance. - 30:24 The speaker shares their method for effective studying, which involves recall and practice. - 30:32 They have also created a guide on how to focus for long hours. - 30:39 The speaker goes through their exact formula for repetition and revision. - 30:46 They thank the audience for watching and hope the information is useful for improving studying methods. Context Learning is a complex process that involves acquiring, retaining, and recalling information. To effectively learn and retain information, it is important to use effective learning strategies. Some of these strategies include active recall, creating mental models and mind maps to organize information, and spaced repetition for long-term retention. Active recall involves actively retrieving information from memory rather than passively reviewing it. This technique has been shown to improve retention compared to passive review alone. Mnemonics can also be used as memory aids or techniques to help remember information. Creating mental models and mind maps can help learners organize complex information into more manageable chunks. This technique can also aid in the retrieval of previously learned material by providing a visual representation of the connections between different pieces of information. Spaced repetition involves repeating information at spaced intervals to improve long-term retention. This technique takes advantage of the spacing effect, which suggests that learning is more effective when studying sessions are spaced out over time rather than crammed into one session. While these techniques have been shown to be effective for many learners, it is important to note that different individuals may benefit from different study techniques based on their learning style and preferences. Additionally, motivation and interest in the subject matter can play a significant role in effective learning. Looking towards the future, there is potential for further research and development of personalized learning strategies using technology such as artificial intelligence. By understanding how individuals learn best and tailoring educational experiences accordingly, we may be able to improve overall educational outcomes for students at all levels.

Thank you! I was already doing half of this, but I’ve never thought of them as ‘steps’, thus I usually end up skipping or forgetting to do them. Also, that priming phase and absorbing phase is so good. Never actually came to my mind about how important those two steps were. Thank you again!

[@miasiddi3763]

Priming, absorbing, reading, retining 1) mental model (overview), list keywords and jumble up (not author's structure), look them up in under 10 words, link to concept of chapter and mindmap reading points then link to tgis mentally 2) test before learning AND after 3) pre-reading = video / short reviews ABSORBING - read info in layers 1) skim (easy) 2) general concepts - recall q's to supplement Qbanks (use active words e.g. define, name 5) creation 3) details Explain/ summarise it to yourself after learning session Retrieving - testing in spaced intervals, study once then test yourself while learning recall questions relying on brain then use content, RAG questions -> go back to original source and review go back and practice what you didnt know test topic just as you are forgetting it exam 5 weeks advance, 3 reptitions for challenging topics

I have been doing this steps without knowing, and I can say even tho it may look like it takes a long time, due to your Brian having a base, that’s it can build upon and connect ideas and making connections, it makes it so much easier to remember, and -a tip for making mindmap; it is to use an app, since you can just pickup that idea and place it on another subtitle and play around it, I personally use Xmind, I mostly do such techniques for biology and it can be done to grammatical subjects, for languages or anything for memorizing… colours help,pictures help quite a lot for remembering and also making it fun to study,and a bounce point would be, if something like literature or long long paragraphs of studying, you read it, underline what makes this whole paragraph important, then make a summary on small sticky note with YOUR own words, so that if you were to revise or just try to understand the paragraph again, you can just read that small sticky note

thank you so much for making this video. this was extremely helpful, since everything was included in one, even non-theoretical subjects like maths and chem! the effort in researching is visible and I appreciate it. I'm going to use it in my study sessions, and I hope it works. good luck!!!! looking forward to more videos in the future!!

[@BoluwatifeOlawale-z2j]

I just got into med school in Turkey and we are doing an introductory week. I've been stressing about the studying because I was a smart (gifted, even) kid and i never learnt to study and then I found out I have ADHD and probably autism too. I cannot focus for long amunts of time and even starting to study is difficult. But his method feels like it would be a lot less overwhelming at the start of a topic making it easier to motivate myself maybe. I really hope i can effectively use these tips and be a lot less anxious about studying. It was a great video very nice to watch and easy to understand, thank you very much! I'll go see some other videos you made :)

[@yashus6098]

I really enjoyed your video and learned new things that I can apply. I would appreciate it if you could choose a new topic that you're currently learning and provide a thorough explanation of your study approach. As biology students, we often feel like we're just memorizing and rote learning, and we tend to forget the material over time. Your live run-through video could be very beneficial for us. Please share your thought process when studying a topic.

[@ezgi8778]

So precious, this is the most relatable efficient and really improving video I have ever encountered thank you so much. I've never felt so seen.

[@TimeraB]

This is probably one of my favorite study videos (and i've watched a lot! Lol). It's great to find people that delve deeper into the study process. I do some things you mentioned already but you gave a lot of tips to help me refine the process.

[@zain_asif]

Thats incredible appreciate it so much :)) happy its helped

[@BigBrainZarrar]

I have granted you the greatest honor, being a bookmarked video

[@krispy5775]

by far the best studying video i have ever watched (and i have watched abt 50+ already!) One thing I noticed about those youtubers talking about spaced repetition was that they never acknowledged the reality that if you were a student, it was unrealistic to keep doing a lot of repetitions since we have more and more topixs being piled on each day! This is the first video I have found to acknowledge, address, and provide a solution for this problem! Just from that, you've earned yourself a subscriber:) I also love how he mentioned that sometimes it's okay to do a bit of more relaxed or "passive" studying (i.e. not doing active recall). It is true and I have experienced everything he said firsthand where I would procrastinate for days bc studying took up so much effort. I also learned after a while that it was okay to do some light work like rereading, writing notes, etc, bc we're human and we can't go 100% all the time. What's important is you're still absorbing/reviewing information one way or the other. Thank you for this great and informative video! It's videos like these that make me grateful and appreciative that I was born in this era :) God bless you !

[@athira4271]

This is the best video one can get on study techniques! Yes I've watched plenty already.

[@madasahatter869]

Hey, I just got into medical school and I have a big concern regarding my studying. I am really attached to textbooks and hate using teacher's slides and notes since I need the whole picture to be able to comprehend a subject. what I like to do is study the material beforehand then attend classes and make notes of whatever wasn't in the book and is the teacher's little pointer/rephrasing. I have no idea how I can translate this method of studying in medical school where -from what I have gathered- your main source of info is lecture slides. any pointers?

[@meagancline7172]

You are so helpful! Love this video! Study tips, med school hacks, how to prep for MCAT etc would love to hear more from you!

[@v666s]

0:05 that was painful .

Hi from a Med student in Colombia, thanks for the content.

[@sandhyashirasat5869]

mind maps are very hard to make and i get confused making them

[@zain_asif]

I had the same stance tbh but try to plan the groups and the flow out before making them... itll help :)

[@jeongsungmin2023]

I think that’s the point of mindmaps tho. If it were easy they wouldn’t be so useful to learning. Learning takes mental effort (ofc with the right kind of cognitive load)

[@fatihamir4830]

you are one of the best study youtubers I came across. You got yourself a subscriber !!!!

[@MDForTheCulture]

The mind map makes the most sense. Med school is so intimidating because of all the information.

[@Supriyaa78]

Heyy your videos are sooo good man . I had used these methods and my studying has been so efficient these days😃. Im so thankful. A request is can you make a video on TIME MANAGEMENT DURING EXAMS ( both Multiple choice tests and Subjective writing tests). I think most of the people lack here. It would be really beneficial if you make a video on this. Thank you sooo much once again. ❤️❤️❤️

[@raygun5857]

A+, great video with a high density of info. Having watched way too many youtube videos on learning, this is a great 1st or only video people watch on the topic. For anyone new to 'learning how to learn' this video is the 80 of the 80/20 rule (paretto principle). If you want to keep watching these types of videos, this is the best general video I've seen. This is a distillation of what everyone on youtube will tell you for the most part. Improvements I can see: - run through more examples - more visualizations (even just paper drawings)

[@Illusionary_INTJ]

Videos are too long.

[@AishaaaaAhmed]

Thank you so much. I found this video in the midst of failing badly in medical school

[@AishaAisha-vs7si]

You are so smart , I hope u learn about Islam 🙏 inshallah You will live in paradise on earth and after death, do not ignore my message please…..

[@fatimaadil3544]

This is one of the best videos that exists on KZbin.

[@benedikt0059]

Chapeau! That was exactly the study guide everyone (including me) needed. After reading, watching and listening to many information about the psychology of learning, I always felt like my study needed to be leveraged up to another level. One will accomplish that through trial-and-error in learning. But in my opinion your specified method will provide a very very great foundation for everybody's learning. I bet not a single one watching that video will stick to your way of mastering a specific topic (or this study guide) to a 100% but that is great, as everyone has to refine and re-learn /re-think their own learning and therefore will create, given the needed time studying, their own system of mastering a topic based on your foundation layer. Thank you for this great hands-on-guide with all the tips and the exact chronology you use to study a new topic! Best greetings from Germany. Benedikt
