What I Learned After Coaching 3000 Top Students

Take my Learner Type free quiz to figure out your learning strengths and weaknesses: bit.ly/4dYKX3T You'll also get a personalised report at the end with recommendations for what to work on to improve your learning efficiency as quickly as possible.

[@molemoprudence6950]

Where is the quiz? I don't see it when I press on that link.

[@kpitsfun]

@JustingSung, Is the link still working? I am a working professional and would like to explore more techniques.

[@JustinSung]

Does anyone want me to go into the problem with learning styles in more depth? Or is that topic already pretty well covered by this point? (Also let me know if there's anything form this video you want me to dive into more)

[@jamesstramer5186]

Would love if you could do a more detailed breakdown on it with some more examples!

[@a.sharathchandra552]

Yeah sure and we would be happy to dive more deeper about the mindset and how we can get better at our mindset

[@TheDavidlloydjones]

No. Leave it alone. "Learning styles" is a granfalloon, a false category, a phony concern that keeps half-wits busy in the halls of academe. Those who can teach teach; those who can't get Ed.D.s and write theses about learning styles, teaching styles, and other irrelevant nonsense.

[@ReflectionOcean]

1. Deep processing: ability to think critically, connect ideas and understand complex concepts 2. Self regulation: mastery and adaptation of learning techniques and self-awareness of using the right strategy for the right task 3. Mindset: attitude toward failure and experimentation

[@Darknight526]

How I think about it: Raw Brain Power Technique Your Psychology

[@seanalvarado3638]

Nobody gonna talk about how smooth that pen flicking was of Justin 🔥 6:44

[@JustinSung]

The quiz has now been updated and the bug which gave more people "Other" has been fixed! The "other" category is something that should have only occurred around 3% of the time based on our sample data set. But due to a probably bug in the quiz logic, it was being given out 10x more frequently! I've just tested it with an additional set of cases and it seems to be functioning as normal. If you received "Other" before, please do the quiz again!

[@neuromusk467]

I really really admire what you are doing Why don't you write a book that you explain the full picture inside of your head about learning

[@andreafeelsfantastic]

I still got “other” but it’s entirely possible I am just a weirdo!

[@nishi704]

You're changing and saving lives. Thank you for still uploading and sharing what you have synthesized for the rest of us.

[@alwynwatson6119]

The fact that comments like these are under the video makes me reconsider my initial opinion that the average learner is not constrained by any of these.

[@siggy1277]

- Learner types are about assessing your habits and processes as a learner. They are based on 5 key dimensions: - *deep processing* - *self-regulation* - *mindset* - *self-management* - *retrieval practice* - Deep processing is your raw cognitive power and ability to think critically. It can be improved through training habits. If you have low deep processing, ineffective study techniques may not work as well for you. - Self-regulation is your ability to monitor and adapt your learning methods. High self-regulation can compensate for lower deep processing. - Mindset is about your resilience and response to mistakes. A fixed mindset limits improvement, while a growth mindset enables it. Mindset can be the most limiting factor. - Common learner types: - *Unchained* (fixed mindset) - *Sprout* (growth mindset but low processing/self-regulation) - *Trooper* (high self-regulation but low processing) - *Carp* (high processing but low self-regulation). - Knowing your learner type helps you focus your efforts on improving the dimensions that will make the biggest impact for you. A free diagnostic quiz is linked in the video description.

[@DannyHatcherTech]

Thoughts while watching: - There is more than 1 theory of learning styles - it would be good to be clear what theory you are referring to. - Styles aren't really explained when looking at behaviours or cognition. - Types - takes to long to explain - why assume we don't want to watch long videos? - Building habits from neuroplasticity seems redundant - How do you measure deep processing? If people can't self measure how would they know what to do or not to do. - Weight lifting analogy seems inaccurate - technique can beat strength (far too much nuance over looked for me) - Using different tools seems like someone anyone can rather than a 'type' - Fixed and Growth mindset (assumed Carol Dwecks work) seems inconsistent here - fixed mindset sticks which what they do so why would they go looking for new/better technique? - Avoiding failure can be people in growth mindset - Types seem like level of expertise, making them very dynamic. How can that be used? tracked/measured/made aware off FYI - I am an "Other" type according the quiz...

[@iCarus_A]

A fellow "Other" here so I feel you a lot... I think a more apt analogy (coming from a biased CS standpoint) is that high Deep Processing is analogous to having strong raw processing power (for instance, a i9 cpu), and having bad technique is like running inefficient software. If the software is written badly (ref. Starfield), even a very strong setup will still stutter and fail (but with enough power it can be compensated), whereas highly optimized programs will run smoothly even on ancient CPUs. I personally feel like I match closest with the Karp category, not because I have difficulty with adapting to new learning methods, just that I have difficulty switching to a different style simply because I don't have to. If and when presented with a different way to learn, I still adapt to it pretty effectively, which is probably why the quiz didn't consider me as "bad at self-regulating." Also, to continue the CPU analogy, I feel like I'm more like a heavily overclocked cpu with very bad cooling, so I can learn a lot and adapt very fast, at the cost of feeling burnt out and generally having very few "actually effective" hours in a given week. This "motivation" or "endurance" metric seems to be missing, at least in the three dimensions presented here.

[@booovertheovean]

Great questions!

[@savanthuman8809]

I have an i8 but it only works sometimes, ;(

[@natnat8733]

Thanks. You've asked some very thoughtful and interesting questions. I agree that being clear about referencing what and which theory he is using would be useful. I also wondered whether a "too long" video is as much about protecting the content of the 'ICanStudy' school which of course is a business. Shorter videos of 10-15 minutes seem to be the most popular length on YT. Making short video that summarise key points can be made as 'tasters' and promotional tools to convert people to purchase the more detailed assistance. That's fair enough - videos take a lot of time and effort to make. I kinda believe that he also does have a more altruistic reason for uploading videos. I have returned to study after a fairly long time and I can learn quite a lot of basic information about learning that I think will be really useful and hopefully save me a lot of time and effort. I'm interested in what you mean by your point "Building habits from neuroplasticity seems redundant". I know you wrote this months ago but if you see this and have a minute I'm interested in your opinion - no probs if it'd take too long to explain though :)

[@bronwilson2390]

Guilty spark here. Smart, have good learning methods, AND a good mindset, I just suck at doing things early enough to learn everything I need to; even if I learn insanely fast, I'll always have to sacrifice one or two sections I need to learn because I genuinely don't have enough time left to go over them, without losing what I've already learnt😭😭

[@nguyenquocduylop6th737]

THE SAVIOR HAS COME! Thank you Dr. Justin Sung, your advice is life changing

[@colonelehrhardtii6907]

I like how Justin is always talking about seeing the big picture and being mindful of the context for information that we consume and only now is he giving us all the parts that form a comprehensive big picture for cognition and systematic learning. Not complaining, the guy is already putting out so much valuable content for free, just pointing out the irony

[@conhaiconmatkhocnguoimotcon]

Just wanna share a few thoughts about you, Dr. Sung :Đ I've accidentally "jumped" into 1 or 2 of you videos when I started learn in university, and your context have helped me a lot with my learning journey. I remembered like 2 years ago (?) People are really go crazy about space repetition and active recall, flash cards, etc... but with a law student like me, those methods take too much time and energy while the results are not too good. But after accidentally found your videos, I could learn in a really relaxing ways while still being able to enjoy myself and doing other stuffs. I just wanna say thank you, thank you very much for your help.

[@ericruiz4404]

Hi Justin, thank you for your videos - I found them a few days ago and leave more knowledgeable and excited each time. I was a PA student and recently withdrew because of poor performance. I believe I am a “sprout”. Not the outcome I wanted, but your channel is helping see where and how to strengthen my learning. My biggest pitfalls were studying voluminous content and recall. Thank you again!

[@Voitto123]

Karp 🙋 starting uni next autumn and I've decided it's time to learn how to learn instead of just relying on raw talent to get me through this

[@ashuranero5721]

I think Karp (tho in the test it said, spark) here as well, and i am already in collegue. Believe me, you will need it, i speak of expirience. Getting into university after i got good grades without ever having to do anything felt like i got punched in the face. Tho it probably also depends on the major.

[@Valeria-sx7uv]

I accidently learnt to do deep processing in high school. I can confirm that studying is easy for me. Even if I write down linear notes, I still have a map of the theme in my head and do better in tests then other studients. Of course, if I use better methods, I get even better results.

[@CHARGING.TARTARUS]

[@eclecticapoetica]

I have so many questions. I did your quiz, answered it as honestly as possible. I’ve always had top academic results, why should I believe the diagnostic tool you have devised? What is this category “Deep Processing”? What is it based on? Where can I find the evidence? Or is it just a marketing funnel? I’m fascinated by your presentations, but I’m not so sure about your product. Why, earlier in the presentation, did you instruct us to ‘think of a genius” Yeah, Einstein, but more so his first wife, Stephen Hawking (none of his wives), and my Mum. “T hink of a genius” the power of suggestion is so strong. Framing puts you in the picture if you can see yourself in it. So our student wants desperately to work smarter, achieve better, and there is the 🥕. can they ever get the carrot? I hope so for his/her sake.

[@Luxon-n8x]

Personally I've never met anyone (med school) who doesn't study but still passes... Great video as always sir... thank you so much

[@tanishqchandrakar954]

hello Justin. I am a new commer in your group. I was thinking about my life, my future whether I can do something btter in my life or not and I stumbled upon your video in seach of guidence. this video really helped me boost my confidence and also to give myself time to think about the methods and techniques and also my mediocare routine as a high school teen. Your survey said I am unchained which at first I was curious that how on earth I am like this but after a retest, I admit it. just waiting for the pdf and looking forward to grow now. Thanks for your help and your motivation (well this video isn't meant to be a motivational stuff rather it is a guide and informational one but who knows).

[@rmt3589]

I think I have the first of the three, and none of the others. Terrible at self regulating, and will mentally shut down if I ever fail. BUT am a really deep learner, comparing what I'm learning to past knowledge as a default. I logically know what a growth mindset is, but struggle to walk the walk. Though I can talk and teach it all day. I have this weird trauma response where I can explain things I don't understand, even to the point that it helps others get new insights, and this may be part of the problem too.

[@nazaninazad8031]

I'm a last year medical student and i have recently seen your videos and i already LOVE them. I've always loved these topics that you cover and honestly you are doing my dream job. I just wanted to let you know how inspiring you are and i hope you get better and better everyday😍😍

[@JoshKings-tr2vc]

I want those last two dimensions, so here’s me best guess. Retrieval practice is your strategy to memorize things. Self management is how efficient and disciplined we implement learning into a schedule.

[@fixedincome008]

It wasn’t until I got to college that I had to learn how to study. I felt deflated in the beginning of college because before college, I was able to grasp materials while in class without opening my texbooks.

Deep processing is underrated yet yields better overall results/performance especially in the academic field. But, if I may ask. How do you do "deep processing"? If one can improve one's deep processing ability, how can we measure it? Can we even measure it?

When it comes to the mindset part, I SO HIGHLY RECOMMEND, the book Mindset by Carol S. Dweck. This book looks into how mindset changes everything, and how you can learn the growth mindset, and I will absolutely say ever since I have read this book, it has improved my thinking as a student exponentially. Not only that tho this is just such a good book overall and helps for many aspects in life that require mindset
