[@aena5995]

@@vishalam466 how do u use it? Personally?

[@vishalam466]

I completely stopped taking notes. But what i used to highlight... Is now a question. And i go through these questions by spacing. At the beginning it will be easy.. Give 2 to 3 days and then try recalling... You will know the struggle

[@aena5995]

@@vishalam466 yes i try to do a chap then do question but it seems like my textbook isnt useful and making notes felt like a waste of time since then i didnt have timr to revise them as they take too long

[@vishalam466]

Just active recall won't work. Active recall + spaced repetition is the key. And about questions... Whatever you feel is important and should be in your mind... Turn it into a question and try to recall it. In the book ' make it stick' ... The 2nd chapter is named... To learn, retrieve.

Please make more videos about scoping the subject, like how to properly do it and what apps/tools to use. It would be much appreciated 😁

[@thesolidnick]

Great video! I’m a surgeon general and resident in Surgical Oncology here in Brazil, and I’ve been following your work for quite some time now. I also use the iPad Pro + Apple Pencil + Notability combo for notes, and Evernote for everything I might need in my daily practice. I tried several times using flash cards as a method of active recall, but I just can’t seem to get used to it. I hope you make a video on how you decide what topics you cover on “evernote/one note” and what you use the flash cards for. Keep up your awesome work!

[@axx9149]

Just clicked on the Spotify playlist and immediately saw Game of Thrones, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and Breaking Bad. Looks like I'll be using this one. In all seriousness, I honestly don't know what I would do without your channel. I've learnt so much from it, and it's evident you put a lot of work into all of you videos, as they all come out stunning and are very often "evidence-based" ;) ! I don't know how you do it, but I'm bloody glad you do. You're also such a genuine and nice person, which is becoming rarer nowadays, I've got no idea how you haven't got more subscribers!

[@shakydolphin4125]

I find you approaches to topics very fascinating. You earned a new subscriber.

[@hotitan5435]

I hope u can make more “study with me” videos,Ali. Your video helps me to be more motivated on my studies.💪🏼💪🏼

[@justme-ld9xz]

Awesome to get a closer look at your "scoping the subject" strategy! Also, about music while studying... I've always been the type of person that can't study without listening to pretty upbeat and "distracting" music (if you'd ask other people lol) I looked it up as well, but apparently when you've got a chronically underaroused brain such as with ADHD/ADD you actually tend to need that extra bit of stimulation to be able to concentrate! Which was very eye-opening to me, and finally explained why the only way I could write any assignment was while listening to a live coldplay concert on the other half of my screen LOL. Sounds crazy I know!! But if I don't I just keep zoning out every split second haha. There's some literature published about this as well. Music is basically a way of self-medicating dopamine if you think about it. I personally think that, it also depends on the task at hand which also brings a layer of stimulation to your brain. For example, if I'm doing some physics I tend to turn to classical music because the subject itself is stimulating enough. Just a little theory of mine, based on my own experience and what I've read! Also, I'm so excited about this series!! Can't wait for the rest!

[@PringlesOriginal445]

WOW, I didn't know that and now I'm pretty sure I have an underaroused brain aswell lol! XD

[@xclvrfip]

Hey, Ali. I’m starting university next year. I’ve got a lot of admission and scholarship exams coming before the end of this year and I haven’t really prepared for anything yet. Your videos help me get motivated although I’m a real lazy bum myself. Thanks for all these videos, I’m trying my best to finally learning my way to being productive. I hope I get to pass my exams for college, though!

So you do your scoping at a leisurely pace? I thought it might take you a while to scope each subject. Can't say I've understood it exactly, but seems like you know what you're doing. Hope I had the same clarity.

I would love to see some videos by you on how to study correctly, but first I'm going to see your other videos, because I believe there is some valuable information I can get from it!

[@TheJournalingType]

I like studying with classical music but when I am reading a book (mostly fiction) I put on a indie playlist from Spotify, don't know why but when I listing back to the music I can remember all I read in the book. Is like this perfume, it smells really great, is a man perfume, every time I pass by a guy with that perfume all I can remember is the cruise I went to, I remember the place where I first got the smell, it was one of does "family" dinner, the last meal of the day. That nostalgic feeling is super strong hahaGreat video btw, thank you!

[@gabd805]

My vote goes to OneNote. I do notes in a Cornel Format thing but also insert tables within the table and make a 3rd collumn for extra info (either not explained in the study material or stuff I don't remember). It worked great for typed notes and you could probably hook up your iPad to it to take written notes. Evernote just wasn't my thing. For the tablet I use Lecture Notes which is the best app I found for Android since OneNote sucks on it. ^.^ Thank you very much for the video. I study psychology and really want to apply the techniques you preach this year, so please, take us along the process whenever you can. :)

Any plans on upgrading to new iPad 11”? Or sticking with 10.5”? The only thing I liked from the new iPad is the new Apple pencil. Felt like it had a better grip. And the wireless is nice considering that you don’t have to worry about losing the top from the charging end. By the way, out of curiosity, do you use screen protectors on your Apple Watch? Would love to hear your opinion on both topics.

I’m thinking about my next purchase and what I should save up for next which I’ve narrowed it down between an iPad Pro and an Apple Watch. I’m currently a university student but not sure the iPad would fit into my needs but does look very useful especially for all the reading and then I also do a fair amount of sport so was wondering which you would advise. Obviously the price is a factor I’ve already taken into account. Your videos are always so helpful and keep studying with the exam you’ll ace it!!

[@marijadjordjevic9258]

I need to listen to popular songs while I take notes because it makes me more focused. If I listen to instruments or nature sounds I will drift away. I am noting this because not everyone functions the same. Outloud repetition and teaching a subject to someone are the best way for me to study. Anyways, I am 4th year medical student and this has worked for me so far.

Any advice for someone who does well in all the smaller tests for acceptance to the exams, but barely scrapes by during the exams? I've started using Anki this semester(thanks to you) and it has drastically increased my marks. I'm about to write exams and I'm procrastinating everyday due to the fact that I don't know where to start. It's been 5 days now... And I'll be writing next week Saturday. I just can't get myself to study for more then an hour. Love from South Africa.

[@hamaadkhan8922]

how different are your active recall questions from your revision guide? i started making AR questions at the beginning of term but have just decided to also put them into "condensed note" format (your revision guide) to have an idea of the place of each topic in a subject - something that quizlet obviously doesn't do. Not sure if it's productive to do so though because I am simply just copy/pasting my AR questions. The only difference is organising them appropriately
