*Active Learning:* 1. Identify 2. Organize 3. Memorize 4. Apply *Environment:* 1. Location 2. Group vs. Solo (Groups need to be small.) 3. Routine vs Novel Stimuli 4. Timing (Pomodoro Technique is effective) 5. Obtaining Information *Options in approving methods* 1. Writing vs Typing (Writing improves recall.) 2. Lecture vs. Podcast 3. Rewatching Lectures is a waste of time. 4. Textbooks (Summarize what you read into your own words.) Memorization ending.

As a student of straight A+’s I’d like to share some studying tips that has worked for me: 1- Take the right methods of studying that WORKS BEST for you! For example: the things that have been mentioned on this video DON’T necessarily mean that it should work for you too. Take what works for you and you’ll reach that level of confidence of your work. 2- prioritize the hard subjects for studying . If you think that you want to put much time on math for example because math’s professor is a hard nut or the subject itself is a little bit harder than history or literature then try to “daily reviewing” math lectures so you don’t forget the informations and help you speed up the studying time of exam and get better marks. Remember: you dont need to daily review history or literature! As i said JUST PRIORITIZE the hard subjects and give them much more time than other subjects. 3- like what mentioned in the video, if you find yourself with tons of informations that you need to memorize PLEASE GIVE YOURSELF A FAVOR AND SUMMARIZE THEM IN YOUR OWN WORDS! take A4 papers and draw some diagrams or lists of the informations. Don’t throw all the information in the summery paper just the things that you think they’re important or if you’re not sure what is important exactly (this case is for the hard nut professor that thinks every word is important and always surprise you with his/her questions) don’t worry just write them down BUT in a more organized way with diagrams and less filling words. 4- put highlighted stars on the Points that you think you’ll forget or would come up in the exam so you can quickly check them right before the exam. DON’T highlight EVERYTHING PLEASE because you’ll distract yourself rather than focusing on the important things. 5- ATTEND THE LECTURES. yes you might think that you’re in 2018 and you can rely on technology but there are key factors in attending like asking questions right when you need them. Writing down the important notes that won’t be mentioned in recorded lectures. Like important points that would come up in the exam or any other notes that’ll help you with studying. 6- study according to the teacher’s way of writing questions. For example, if your teacher likes detailed informations in a form of multiple choice questions then remember that while you’re studying and highlight the points on your lecture so you can review them right before exams. Try to analyze his/her way of writing the questions and study according to that! This is A KEY TIP for whoever wants to get the best results in his grades. If its you first exam and you don’t know about your teacher’s way of writing the Q’s then just ask them! Do they prefer multiple choice Q’s, essay questions or case question and its reason answer? Just ask. Back to number 1 Do what works for you! try some of the video & comment tips. Wish you the best luck❤️

@trubarbey that's sometimes true, it's just that some professors will pull out information that's not really emphasized in class to test our flexibility

[@anonymousgirl1276]

Understand your notes and underline key words after reading it aloud five times

[@linyvat947]

Sometimes its just like a general sentence about blah blah. That is not what you want. Your teacher is likely to ask definition, types etc.

[@teoricos4759]

Peace! Pretend that you are preparing a paper for cheating. It's amazing, when we are preparing to cheat we just pick "important" information.

[@llovely]

Thank you for the share! As an A+ student, here's what works for me: 1) Prepare: Read the chapter, make pre-class notes, and come prepared to lecture with questions and insights 2) Attend Lecture: This is so vital for not just learning but also reinforcing the material, in addition to an opportunity to form study groups. Also, you can speak to your professor after class (if time permits) to ask any lingering questions or obtain clarity on concepts and seek additional resources. During the lecture, I type all of my notes because it allows me more time to actually think about what is being said. I actively follow up by finding pictures on the internet (or drawing them later) to connect to the concepts (and edit accordingly later). 3) Review: Revise what you have learned. After lecture, I would take my in-class notes from my laptop and summarize them in written form on my iPad, adding/drawing more pictures to illustrate the concepts. The summarized sheets are also what I use for studying for exams. While I review my notes, I like to teach the concepts to fellow classmates, friends, family and review the info as much as possible. A little bit every day goes a long way. You can even review just thinking about it, while walking, waiting on line, even while helping your mom tidy up or brewing that 7th cup of tea :) Lastly, I prefer to study mostly solo in my room at my desk, usually in silence, except when I am watching videos that further explain the info. I find cafes and libraries too loud or distracting, and appreciate the calm of my home office, where I can easily reference any of the books on my shelf and break into a downward dog anytime. *One thing not mentioned was the timing of studying. I tend to recall best if I study at night. I also like to review first thing in the morning. This has worked out best for me, but find what works for you. Always remember, you won't be able to learn well if you aren't taking care of your health. Do set up a healthy sleep routine, stay hydrated, eat well, and engage in regular exercise. **Fun Tip: It's good to vigorously exercise before an exam because the rush of blood improves recall via oxygenation and can help settle nerves with mood-enhancing endorphins. So rather than cramming, contemplate what you have learned on your run to the test. And Best of Luck! Dr. Jubbal, can you please make a video of how you approach textbooks? For example, what is your initial approach? Do you read every word or simply skim the key points? Thank you for an awesome video. I am going to get back to studying now lols.

Another tip: DO NOT lift weights moderately/excessively 5 days before an exam, especially if it's math, science, IT related. You will lose a ton of IQ points in those 5 days. I see this is where running and cardio really shines.

Throughout high school, university, and onwards, I’ve always had good grades without studying and relied heavily on cramming/procrastination. This is a horrible way to live and I do not recommend it at all. I feel like I’ve forgotten everything I was supposed to learn, and even my gpa is high, it doesn’t reflect my actual knowledge. Grades don’t mean a thing and I’m the living embodiment of that. Don’t be like me. I’m currently working on fixing my bad habits so that I can do well in grad school and use what I learn to help people. It’s a tough journey ahead.

My most effective thing I did was make my own quizzes - I'd read through a textbook & simultaneously type my own questions based off what I thought was important. Later on (close to test day), I'd just do my own quizzes to review. Maintained a 4.0 taking 24 credits a semester this way when a full credit-load was 12-credits & the "maximum" allowed was 18-credits.

Also another problem that discourages me of studying is that my notes are always messy because 1. I have difficulty identifying the important parts of a teacher’s lecture, so I write down everything 2. I try to write down everything, and there’s so much to write, that I write really fast. As a result my notes are hard to read and discouraging to come back to. Studying isn’t fun when your notes are messy.

I'm not a med student, but an adult student of biology with a disability, and I found this helpful. I don't have a lot of energy, and I can't rely on having energy at a particular time . Essentially, routine is impossible for me, so I am like many students with kids or other obligations. 1. I keep my bookbag with my notes and textbook in my car when I'm not studying at home so I can pick it up and look at it or bring it into a coffee shop or park at any time. 2. I look at my notes at different times of the day, varying the textbook, my professor's printouts, and my own notes, or all of them together. 3. I vary my sources. I gather the same information from the internet, especially biology based charts, because sometimes the illustration in my textbook is not the best one for me. I also watch videos. Usually a single explanation is not good enough for me, but having it explained in several different ways allows me to pick the parts that are clearest from each source. It is important however to not get confused and stay on the track your professor outlines in your notes. 4. I'll imagine the different biological processes as I'm falling asleep at night. Picturing them happening in my head reinforces them as actual occurrences, plus nighttime review is proven to be especially helpful.

[@judesakor9830]

Tips to study Active learning - 4 steps 1. Identify what is important and what is not. 2. Organize information in personalized understandable way (synthesizing information in your own words/diagrams). 3. Memorize information in an active way. 4. Apply information (practice quizzes/tests) Study environment 1. A location where you can focus with no distractions Group Vs. Solo studying 1. Solo studying first 2. Then group studying - to teach what you have learned Routine Vs. Novel stimuli 1. The routine of waking up at the same time may help in less procrastination 2. Novel stimuli - same places Timing 1. The Pomodoro technique - study in 25 minute blocks and take 5 minute breaks - fights procrastination, improves focus and maintains endurance Obtaining information 1. Writing Vs. Typing notes 2. Emphasize information and organize into your own words Lecture Vs. Podcasts 1. Lecture helps reduce distraction and ask questions in real time 2. Podcast helps in listening at your pace and speed - make sure you are not the person to zone out and do not fall behind Rewatching lectures 1. Helps with reinforcing content however it can unuseful as you are wasting time while you can be creating flashcards, summary sheets, etc… Textbooks 1. Make process active by summarizing what you read in own words this can help identify information in a way you can understand Memorization 1. Summary sheets and condensed notes. 2. Read notes and summarize in your words by creating less pages 3. Spaced repetition - after each review increase interval between reviews 4. Eg. review info after 24 hours then after 72 hours until completely memorized (this requires scheduling)

If you study less, you can have time to study other things too. Learning a new language or reading books for example;). The ideal of minimising your time of studying something does help you to spend your time on other subjects and study more.

[@ielizabethm2]

Thank you! For years during my University/College lifetime I have been struggling with studying all this time, which as a result led me to terrible grades despite studying for HOURS on a certain subject. I wholeheartedly agree with the ACTIVE studying process because as an introvert I do not feel comfortable recalling information, especially when I’m lazy. This is perfect for my reading week right now. And so thank you for this, it is definitely helpful!

[@anjelmantel2866]

Same here!! It’s really frustrating because I haven’t been able to balance school work any other aspects of my life, and it honestly makes me want to drop out sometimes. I know that im smart enough, but I’m seeing that I need to learn new strategies!!

[@katakrapicz3730]

For the binge-learners: Copy your notes and make them more concise and explanatory every time. Depending on the material, you should be able to regurgitate about everything for at least a few hours after one session. Obviously, take your time and repeat this under less stress if you care to actually know the material long term.

[@oliviarose1133]

as an A+ student, i would highly recommend doing mindmaps! they are scientifically proven to work and are super effective (for me at least). they are really good for subjects like geography, science, history, business, etc. but they work for ANY subject !!

Im a medical school in France and I gotta say that your video is very useful !

[@cindybenforever7647]

Tip: Use things like daisy chains, diagrams, small doodles (like drawing a mirror and person to show what reflection is) and mnemonics. Try to keep it short and simple. It helps to redraw the diagram on some paper until you can do it without looking at the page. Example: (Some of this may be incorrect as English isn't my first language) How light travels through the eye to create an image, also I'm aware that our brains flip the image, this is just a copy of a diagram in my school book LPLR EOB Ligth> Pupil> Light> Lens> Light> Retina> Electric Signal> Optic Nerve> Electric Signal> Brain

[@fantasticaircond]

"THIS IS HARD. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THIS. I'VE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE!" I felt this too, but instead of complaining, try to summarize this whole video into one page. It will be a good start for you. Hope that helps!

[@qwertyuiop7952]

This is really helpful since midterms are coming. And I strongly agree that writing down notes is better than typing them. And I also do this strategy where after I write them, I summarize it, then re-summarize it again until the only keywords are left. It is very helpful since the summarizing part usually takes concentration and understanding. So during the process, you are actually learning more and understanding more of the topic. And this helps a lot. Instead of just memorizing it that you would eventually forget, learning and understanding the topic more would retain in your memory.

[@meganshuminski9570]

Just suggesting a quizlet video because I know they put the new features on it like making “outlines” and the “learn” feature and it’s been something that’s helped me tremendously in pharmacy school. I’d like to see you make a video because I think you could potentially find even more features that I can try out. On a different note, thank you for your videos. They are a great help!

[@julietsabinaa]

How do you know what information is the most important? It's honestly the worst feeling in the world coming out of an exam knowing you studied all of the wrong stuff.

[@a.oconnell6934]

What I do as a straight A student are these three things: 1. Make flashcards and review them while going on a walk outside. Oxygen in brain+vitamin D+ exercise=success. I also find it helpful to go to the gym, study a set on the treadmill, and then left some weights and repeat 2. If you don't have too many materials to manage, pick a random spot and study there for ten minutes, than move to a different spot, and so on. 3. Cornell notes, if you haven't heard of them, are where you fold half a sheet of paper with the question on the front and the answer on back. You just go down the paper repeatedly until you know the material.

[@MyLittleMagneton]

Never done Pomodoro, but the Feynman technique has been really useful.

[@ashd5326]

As straight A student This is what I do -I pay attention to class(very) -Before exams I write down all I know for the unit -When I stuty,I study out loud and sometimes I walk -I'm not that great at math,when I don't understand something I look up for the topic on google and try to do whatever I can -Before each exams I pray (most important for me) -I also got distracted easily so sometimes I put my phone in another room or watch a study with me video so I can study with the person -When I don't feel like studying,I remind myself why I should study -I'm not that great smart student in school,a black girl trying her best to be the best

Rewatching lecture material has been extremely helpful for me. I can't pay attention during live lecture and I zone out constantly. Watching the recording allows me to rewind when I zone out and take notes on information I had completely missed cuz I can't stay focused.

Always choose C. Except if you know your teacher reads this, then choose A or B. Unless your teacher knows that you know they read this, then stick with C. But if you think they know that you know that they might have anticipated and attempted to counter it by sticking with C, thankfully I’ve got a life hack that counters that as well.

This was just me when I was a pre-med. But something that I enjoyed doing was actively summarizing the information, then creating a sketch or even a painting to accompany it. Utilizing a visual way of active learning, it was also a great way to utilize that few minute interval between bursts of study time.

As a med student myself I agree with all the tips , currently going through exams after 10 months of lockdown and no studying. So repeating all the study materials again and again has been the only thing that's effective in getting familiar with already learnt topics.

You must cover this studying habit of just in your free time just write whatever you recall about a concept , it effective in mastering the skill of explaining,synthesing and evaluating information since most tests are build to test on that

Guys I'm not in college I'm still a highschool freshman, my last report card wasnt rlly good, my overall grade was 75% and here in my country that sucks it's like B- and a C+ so I'm gonna start using these strategies and I'll update you guys on my next report card grade! Like to remind me!!

[@KAST96]

Ok, I thought I knew how to study really well. Did 2 science majors in undergrad with top grades. Back then I watched this video and I was annoyed. Now, in Med school, this video is exactly what the Dr. ordered.

[@yejin1248]

This video is PACKED with info to look into or expand. I think its a great overview of learning process. Thanks

[@prolificanalytics4499]

Instead of studying in groups, I do all of it solo, and I find that combining active learning plus after your done with your practice problems or whatever your doing, do another one and act as if you are the one teaching, talking to yourself and just explaining why you got that or why it worked and it helps me retain it really well

[@Exosfear13]

i typically just type a word and then under it is the most simplified description of it. it makes the brain go crazy remembering the importance of it. also helps if the prof speaks fast.

[@nowhere.near99]

Thanks a lot! Your explanation skills are great but I am 'due tomorrow' 'do tomorrow' kind of a person! The only way I can study is when the exam is right outside the door! Unhealthy!! I know but that's just me! And thank god I am not a Med student but god! nursing makes me cry!!!

[@georgeb8436]

Dr. J great video! I implemented a lot of these techniques since your first vid, and it greatly helped. But I had a question! When I tried using Anki I felt like I’ve been making excessive cards from my notes, and it ends up being a burden to go through daily finding over 200 cards to go through. Can you make a video about what information we should be putting in anki and what type of info we should be using a summary approach (for other study approach)? Or should we use both? I really want you to get back to me, cuz I’ve been struggling with this area in study.

[@genekoenen8193]

Hey man! I use Trello to make flashcards and it works really well. You can color what you already know, you can drop N drag easily. You should try it out!

[@iFkNxLegend]

I used Anki in the final year of my engineering degree and when I first made the cards I had over 300 cards for one module. The best approach for me was to take my lecture slides and make my notes from them. I would then turn those notes into condensed notes as described in this video. I then converted the information in my condensed notes into anki cards. This cut my number of cards down dramatically and ensured only vital information was present in them

[@emftechEE]

I also struggle with this problem! I love using anki and I always use it for preparing for my chemistry exams, but I find myself spending A LOT of time on it, definitely more than the rest of my class. My grades are awesome as a result, but I know a few friends that spend far less time than me studying and still get equally good or even better grades than me. I'm not giving up though!

[@ZeePark21]

I never had problems studying in college. My techniques usually worked out and I could even ace an exam by studying a day before. But ever since I got into med school, it's like I'm constantly experimenting on my study techniques because the ones I did in college doesn't work anymore. The amount of information they expect us to know in med school is just ridiculously humongous! There really is no key but REPETITION (and some mnemonics). Med school literally made me cry and had mental breakdown to the point of almost quitting, but I think back of how my parents work the hardest to send me here and that GOT me to study every time. Someday I'm gonna go back to my parents in the province with MD next to my name. Fighting! ❣

[@P03T_B3E]

I learned this my 2nd semester in psychology on the first week 😂 long story short I switched to that major. I also recommend making flashcards right then turn them into a game. This is how I learned and wouldn’t procrastinate: I turned them into bingo Just have the target word on the card And it the person calls out that word you have to say the definition Or you can play any other game

[@coolkoala19]

Bee U. Oh the bingo thing sounds fun only wish I had friends for that 😂

[@jasper5902]

So basically, 1. summarize into s/thg as simple as you can (1 page), 2. use your own words like your second language or mother tongue as if you are teaching it, 3. dont look at the answers immediately but think what is the answer first, 4. 3 ppl max, 5. pick your battleground, 6. reliving the same schedule everyday is great against procrastination, 7. use textbooks or questions > watching or listening to the lectures again, and 8. use an app to schedule your own quizzes & quiz yourself using your short waiting times.
