The Most Powerful Way to Remember What You Study

This guy reads all the books (literally hundreds of hours of reading) and tells us the important parts. Legend.

It’s kinda hard to space your studying time when you are start studying at midnight the night before the test😬

When your spending more time on "how to improve" or "how to learn videos," than actually improving or learning, you've surely fallen far too deep into the shadow realm

I used this technique for my A-Levels as pretty much my sole revision technique and managed to get 2 A*s! Thanks!

Quick FYI. Why is it named "anki"? Anki (暗記) means "to memorize" in Japanese.

What I got from it. Learn it, forget it, re-learn it, forget it, re-learn it. Each time you solidify the neural connections. Use the cards to work out which information you need more work with remembering. Apps do it better than paper. Got it!

Its kinda hard to space out and get enough studying when the teachers assign you a bunch of work and then tell you there's a test tomorrow. ALSO why do all the teacher choose to assign tests all on the same day???!?!?

Hello Frank, my name is Paulo. I am from Brazil and I have always looked for methods of studies to make my life easier, and in Brazil people charge dearly to give this wonderful information that you give. Unfortunately YouTube's translated captions are confusing at times and I have to turn your videos back on so I can interpret what you said, but that's not an obstacle for me because I believe that everything good comes without effort and your videos are great Help me, I'm already your fan, and I've already indicated to my friends and family. God bless your work always and you can be very successful. And, Thank you very much, from the heart.

The irony about this is that I had forgotten that I've seen this video before and... here I am!

I wish I had known about this when I was studying anatomy and neurology. The detailed memory work nearly killed me.

Your information for the past couple years single-handedly helped me turn my academic experience from an anxiety roller-coaster to a positive journey. Thank you so much!

I like that you first mentioned the seldom addressed topic of Forgetting, before talking about memory improvement. I often discuss what I call "The 3 Causes of Forget-ory". You also quoted P.J. Howard with something that really resonated with me about how new learning can drive out older learning when there's not enough space (time) between them.

When u only have 2 days😂

Tom, I want to express deep gratitude towards you and all you do the student community! Your videos are always helpful and I share with friends whenever possible. Thanks again! Ross

Thomas! I am a learning specialist at WSU and I am terrible at making videos. Thank you so much for creating content that I can share that is wonderfully produced and aligns so well with the strategies I teach to students. You rock!

I like how you actually put research and thought into these videos! each one i watch is completely new information! 👍👍

So stoked to finally make this - I've been wanting to do a spaced repetition video for a really long time. Hope you guys enjoy it! You can definitely use this technique alongside pretty much any method of studying, but I do want to leave a link to the previous video I made on studying with flash cards, since I mentioned that this would be a follow-up to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzCEJVtED0U

This is such an excellent technique and I really love that I am seeing it highlighted more and more. Thanks for the great content.

Kinda was practicing spaced repetition concept the entire time in school just didn't know it had a name lol Yes, the key to successful learning of the new material is coming back to it - so true! Love the metaphor of "Building a muscle" out of the new information by coming back to it again and again. Great video, thanks!

Another excellent video Thomas! Thanks for all your hard work and great content!
