3 tips on how to study effectively
Video Overview & Insights
Explore how the brain learns and stores information, and find out how to apply this for more effective study techniques.
the timing of this is too
--
A 2006 study took a class of surgical residents and split them into two groups. Each received the same study materials, but one group was told to use specific study methods. When tested a month later, this group performed significantly better than the other residents. So, what were these methods? Explore how the brain learns and stores information and how to apply this to your study habits.
I got full A+in my 10th grade and i was one of the toppers in school and my teachers got high expectations of me and I am good in extracurricular activities and they expected that I will get full A+in my +2grade ..but unfortunately I didn't got it I lost it by 1mark...and the students who got full A+ looked down on me some of them didn't talked to me they just avoided me as if they didn't see me .....now I realised only one downfall is all it takes....yes I m sad....I feel dispointed but there is nothing I can do now I can't go back to my exam and write ..I know that.....but the way they avoided...some teachers alsooo...I don't know but when I said this now I feel relieved...I will work harder get everything (if I can't get everything I will love a life that I wouldn't regret)

Beautiful tips
@AishaSillah-24How to hit
@ibrahin8172Really helpful video, the student organization tips were simple, practical, and easy to use š
@iam_mohit55here's the conclusion: Anki.
@noraa-i3cThese methods don't apply in South Africa!
@nathanienyll971When I look back on my life on the tips Iāve received for learning, I remember two things (interestingly both of these are mentioned in this video). First is what my high school biology teacher told me: ā Repetitio est mater studiorumā (repetition is the mother of learning). And Feynmanās technique, at the heart of which is āteach the material to yourself or someone elseā (basically, ātest yourself and donāt be afraid to be
@Alanecveocue39Bro the timing I have an exam tomorrow . Thanks
@Clensaohhioh33Great job, this video was very useful!
@LinetEugineAwesome video, looking forward to the next one!
@SitaramSaini-l1zI have this genius roomate in university who scored 97+ in calculus, physics and chemistry. From this video i understand that he has mastered the importance of testing himself and storing information permanently in long term memory. If i want to tell him something academic related he always tells me to wait first let him try to guess. He also likes to create a connection between something he learns newly to something he already knows to facilitate easy

@Milena.MsantaI remember sitting with books open for hours and still feeling like I understood nothing⦠I had to learn a better way to organize my studies. I put it into a small guide on my profile if anyoneās going through the same thing.
@TruePotentialLabThis was super helpful, thanks!
@FordFord-t1uYou explained this so well, thank you!
@anthonymurphy8126Fantastic video, really appreciate your effort!
@RAULBOOOYVery well done, appreciate this video!
@AhmedVolkov-y1yI have my first final exam tomorrow, o my i hope i dont blow it up
@annie0907I keep day dreaming during study idk what to do
@its_Sabrin.24Studying efficiently: A change slight alterations to current habits.
1. Store new concept and information through study sessions, then deepened when sleep active.
2. engage by recalling quizzes and flashcard helps use to boost memory, don't put information right in front of you.
3. Intertwine different topics to review at the same time to help focus and build connections between topics
4. Allow rest/sleep between study sessions, space and organize review for exam over successive study sessions.
Also Iād like to add something learn it in sections. For a few months I wanted to learn where every country and territory on earth was. What I did was I start with South America, do that. North America, do that, then Caribbean, Caribbean +territories. Then the western hemisphere. Then I go to the east. Europe? I learned east, then the balkans, then the Scandinavia then west. Asia, you get the gist etc. then when I took the final self test of placing them they were all like pieces of the puzzle that just needed the pieces put in. It asks where Norway is East hemisphere > Europe > Scandinavia > thereās Norway! Itās also good to know where it isnāt. It definitely isnāt in Asia. Oh it canāt be there cause I know for a fact thatās Finland! And that oneās Sweden! So it has to be there etc etc.
@Le_Chat_Noir1Itās fascinating how science backs up active retrieval and spacing, studying smarter really does make a massive difference in long-term retention
@OrionOP4The problem is that this only works when the learner is not in a constant state of stress, danger, and fear. As long as any of these thoughts bothers oneās mind, learning might as well be a pipe dream
@MettaKingNice tips.
To conclude :
- Test yourself with flashcards.
- Scramble the subject matters to jog your memory & improve long-term knowledge.
- Study regularly so your brain can rest.
I dropped out of Uni 10 years ago. In the mean time I learned coding and a third language out of fun. After all of that I went back to Uni, thinking I got all under control, only to realize how quick and exhausting the lessons are. Therefore, I needed to learn how to ACTUALLY study. I realized my skills are not enough. I study everyday, but forget quickly and I never been under pressure to learn it CORRECTLY. In the Uni that's required. Fast and correct. Forget about skimming pages or not liking a topic. So here I am, researching HOW to study the best.
@clysen8234Use (Anki) software guys it does that for you and it's free
@VlexCrowleyEasy coloredsā¦.this doesnāt apply to yāall since studying died a long time ago in your raceā¦ā¦
@Willy-b5gRichard Feynman was a physics scientist who won a noble prize in 1965, he was also an amazing teacher. The Feynman learning technique is, if you truly understand something, you should be able to teach it to others with full clarity. You should be able to write it down concisely, with examples if possible. Feynman's learning technique improves your understanding and reveals what could be shortened or improved.
My tip to make things even easier is, relax. Learning doesn't have to be so boring and rigid. We're not all built the same and we need different learning techniques. For example, if you do things that increase the white matter in your brain, it makes learning more efficient and effective
Increasing white matter is possible byĀ learning new skills you personally find interesting, social interactions, casual gaming, books and magazines, meditation, aerobic, strength, balance, and flexibility exercises, and especially a proper diet specifically for you. White matterĀ improves and supports learningĀ by enhancing the speed and efficiency of communication between brain regions.
And here's another tip, avoid multitasking. It can lower productivity and quality by up to 40%, reduce IQ, increase stress, anxiety, mental fatigue, and hinder memory. It impairs cognitive ability and can physically alter the brain by reducing gray matter.
Gray matter and white matter are the 2 primary components of the central nervous system, with gray matter focusing on processing information and white matter acting as the brain's wiring for transmission
and what if I donāt have the time? I donāt have 4 weeks I have 4 days
