When YouTube's algorithm is more worried about your grades than you.

Me studying how to study instead of studying.

Here's a tip which helped me score 74/80 in science This technique works So when you're reading the lesson and just blindly making notes ,keep a seperate notebook. Now while reading instead of taking notes, frame questions which come to your mind and also try framing questions just as you are reading,i mean - be atleast a bit curious about the topic and ask yourself questions. Now don't answer them,note them down After reading that particular page or topic ,go back to the questions and answer them Benefits: Firstly it's forces your mind to be curious over stuff And it's increases your ability to answer thereby making it easier for you to get full marks for a particular question in exam And it's pyschologically proven that if you write smt down immediately after learning it ,you remember it for a longer time Trust me this works I Went from 27/80 to 74/80 by this technique And try to understand the concepts instead of blindly reading and taking point

00:20 📚 Don't read a textbook like a novel. Start by previewing the chapter. 02:20 📖 Read the quiz questions at the end first. This highlights what's important in the chapter. 03:19 📌 Focus on bold print, titles, subtitles, and topic headings for an overview. 04:51 📝 Read the first and last sentences of each paragraph for exposure, not comprehension. 06:08 🔄 This method is more effective than cramming for retention. Repetition aids lear

let’s be honest, none of us looked this up, but we all needed this.

Youtube really said “you made it through highschool now let’s try to get you through uni”

Finally, I found a teacher who can teach how to learn instead of what to learn ❤

I do something similar to this in med school, 1. I read through all the chapter sub headings & draw a map on how they link 2. I try to understand the entire chapter (not memorize, just focused on understanding) 3. I start taking notes on the important points & at this point I've already memorized the entire chapter

I'm an Anesthetic doctor preparing for my Postgraduate exam. I wonder why nobody taught me this at some point in my childhood. I just started applying this technique, which dramatically improved my studies and saved me time on a big scale. Yes, I have been studying hard all of this time and now I believe in the power of studying SMART. Million thanks..

After my first week of uni and not understanding the textbooks I had to read I have been watching videos such as this and here's is what I've learned so far: HOW TO READ / STUDY TEXTBOOKS Step 1: Flip through the entire chapter, to get a sense of how long it is and see whatever stands out to you Step 2: Thoroughly read through the quiz at the end of each section or chapter to gain the understanding of what important questions you should be asking yourself from here on out. *IMPORTANT: FOR STEPS 3 & 4 YOU ARE READING FOR EXPOSURE TO THE CONTENT, NOT COMPREHENSION* Step 3: Go to the start of the chapter and read through all of the bold texts throughout the chapter Step 4: Go back to the start of the chapter and read the first and last sentence of each paragraph. Step 5: Finally read through the chapter fully while framing questions that come to your mind on a blank piece of paper and highlighting in the text what made you think of those questions (Remember to stay curious, this will help you think of questions from the text). For now, don’t answer these questions, wait until you have finished the section or topic, then go through and answer them. Step 6: If the teacher has posted any type of video going over the topic. Watch it, it will help immensely because it was what they think is most important Hope this helps someone :)

I just appreciate the fact that the video is 5 years old and he's still hearting and replying to all new comments.
