How I UPGRADE the Most Popular Study Techniques 

Nice summary

1. **Practice Papers** - Eliminate reliance on answer sheets. - Create your own model set of answers to identify knowledge gaps. - Collaborate with friends to create practice papers and answers for each other. 2. **Pomodoro Technique** - Track time to identify your natural focus duration. - Take breaks proportionate to your focus session (e.g., 30-minute break after 1.5 hours of focus). - During breaks, engage in rejuvenating activities like walking or meditation. 3. **Active Recall** - Be deliberate about the type of recall, from low-level facts to high-level problem solving. - Vary your recall techniques in each spaced repetition session. - Engage in complex discussions or projects relevant to the study material. 4. **Pre-study** - Focus on understanding the big picture, main ideas, and key concepts without memorizing details. - Aim to explain the topic's main ideas and their connections but not in detail. 5. **Mnemonics** - Use mnemonics primarily for checklist-type information. - Avoid using mnemonics for knowledge requiring multi-relational manipulation. 6. **Cornell Note Taking** - This method has a limited benefit ceiling and is hard to do incorrectly. 7. **Brain Dumps and Blurting** - Attempt to reorganize and structure your knowledge differently from how you initially learned it. - Focus on understanding the topic from multiple perspectives. 8. **Summary Pages** - Similar to brain dumps, try to summarize knowledge in a different way than initially learned. 9. **Mind Maps** - Use mind maps for relational, nonlinear note-taking. - Focus on visually representing information and its connections on a single page. 10. **Flash Cards** - Identify the appropriate scenarios for their use. - Avoid using flash cards for complex knowledge application. 11. **Watching Videos and Lectures** - Active engagement is crucial; passive consumption is ineffective. 12. **Listening to Music** - Useful for tasks with lower cognitive load. - Avoid during high cognitive load tasks where deep thinking is required. 13. **Re-reading and Highlighting** - Generally considered ineffective and there's no clear way to make this technique more effective.

My pleasure!

Bruh can you please guide me on how to learn that skill?

explain further pls

Plzzz

​@@Midnight_9595Do inquiry based learning. Ask what answers to questions you want from the book. Map out ur previous knowledge. And then proceed to make a broad mind map after chunking the broad concepts of the book. Then compare the broader concepts or try to find links between them. During this entire process keep writing questions about the concepts that pop up in ur head. Once you do that, try reading through the chapters and answering the questions. Keep questioning and critically analysing everything the writer says in ur mind. Don't accept everything as fact. Question everything

learn a simple programming language like python, learn the basics & data structures and algorithms (dont dive in too deep yet, just explore the vast landscape n know what things they are), then start solving leetcode / competitive programming. At the beginning it will be very frustrating n daunting, but if kept consistent..voila! You would be master at problem solving and get a job as well 😮

Yes I was waiting for it since the previous video came...

How did you find this compared to the previous video?

Yay! Thank you!

Any ideas for future videos that you think will be of value to you?

A video about critical thinking, problem solving and decision making

could you explain how ?

I'm sorry to hear that 😂

@@phanikatam4048 sure but how what?

@@omnilink33 what's your way of learning??? Do you mental imagine when learning something ??? To understand ?? We may relate thing from past knowledge to understand better later complete understanding of topic , we used to apply topic in real world .. later analyse , evaluate etc I am struggle to learn and recall ..after watching several vedios of youtubers and implementing what they say I forgot my own learning ability Could you teach how I learn from word to word to understanding complete topic understanding and recall it perfectly ... Thanks in advance

That's awesome to hear; we need teachers on board to change the way the future generation learns. Thanks for your contribution!

Glad you found it helpful

😂😂😂😂😂

haha

😂😂😂

Funny enough it just happened today😂

No worries, any suggestions for future videos?

Thanks for sharing!

Bhai can you share some tips too, like tum kaise padhte ho

Did it live up to the hype?

How did you find it? (Specially compared to part 1)

white noise apps

Bro doesn't know about analysis and structure

Your welcome

Welcome 😊

How did you find it?

@@JustinSung By the notification😊😊

​@@HaqueipHe's asking how useful the video was, not how u literally found it

@@Krish-10 Oh ok. I think, it's good enough. I would use the A and S tier to support my learning journey.

sure will put it on the list of videos to make

Nope it's just analysis and structure not really "mapping" anything other than what you currently know or learnt and yes it's step by step You can't connect anything "intuitively" without enough information so what happens is that you just group things together for whatever reason and you do it at first to basically start with something rather than nothing then change things as you learn more to make the process more engaging/smoother for the brain it's just for efficiency and clarity nothing crazy basically a basic engineering method.

Thank youuuu!

That sounds like a good way to study a new language itself.

Bad practice long-term don't do that

@@warriordx5520 intetesting. pls elaborate.

Ps. I grew up with both languages

@@SarawithnH You're basically studying it in the English language at least mentally-wise which will first limit your understanding and knowledge of the text and second Arabic is a much better language than English especially for originally Arabic texts Don't use English as a shortcut. do it completely in Arabic and try to do it in increasing complexity and then in the end when you become proficient simply translate to English for communication reasons not understanding This channel is mostly misguiding so be very careful since actual learning is always long-term and you won't notice early on how bad these "strats" on social media can affect your mind or life.

Weird asf

SC is incredibely goated. Music is pretty good to get you into the mood screw focus it doesn't matter what matters is the time you spent reading and solving things and music is only a problem when you're unable to focus or learn at all A distraction is necessary to do the repetitive work and only turn it off when you get very used to the material and want to get better at it I listen to rap and heavy metal to get me into something new then turn it off when I'm familliar with it like 2-3 hours in Anyway this channel sucks and so does lulu.

Make goals about the most important things to you then make a very easy way of getting there if you can't do that then make the goal easier until you can. it's that simple

Practice/reps/critical feedback loops/imagination/drawings etc whatever works And there is no genius involved it's just your background information if you've done a lot of them before surely the next one will be more intuitive and easier so it makes you look like a genius.

If you go to his channel and press “playlists” you will find a playlist where he has all his studying videos (I forgot the name of the playlist but it is there) :)

You don't need any of them it's a distraction just think and study like an engineer easy

Yeah but Sung is delusional and teenagers trust his every word.

You're right the music is actually necessary for so many subjects and especially at the beginning when it's boring or most of the times stupid and it's really good as a switch to the studying mood and keeps the useless thoughts and distractions away

God-tier

Mindmaps are supposed to be iterative. You can keep adding and changing things as you study and gain new insights on how to organize it better. It's not a one and done thing where the holes stay there forever.

Yes it will not be enough and the practice papers don't really make you test all your knowledge so a better technique is to go through every page and ask every possible question about every statement. Simple right

Caution: I'm not a learning expert in any way, shape or form, just a person who's interested in the theory of learning, trying to improve on my processes.

MM are typically used in a top down style. So for a book you can have the central idea being the name of the book and then each branch from there could either be a Chapter name or each branch could be one of the main concepts the book is teaching. If you are using the Chapter name as a MM branch then you may have different concepts under the Chapter that are not linked to each other but they are linked back to the Chapter name in which the author thought they belonged together. If you want to remember relationships between your MM links then you want to create a concept map. I think they can be vastly superior to MM.

Have a better understanding of each of these concepts and their underlying information and you will surely find multiple connections or similarities

He already has videos and more detailed ones are in his PAID course You don't need any of that it's just writing vocabulary and pretty much "pre-study" where you try to figure out what's going on quickly and asking a lot of questions and maybe answer some of them and then during the "study" you have some foundation to work with which are the new terms/words and questions That's all you need

You will need to memorize characters when it comes to Chinese, there's no way around that. Chinese characters are ideographs with parts that sort of represent the meaning of the word. So without being able to recognize the characters and their parts you wouldnt be able to read and interpret. For becoming able to understand and speak the language is where 'manipulating and use' come into play. To manipulate the language you need to first deeply understand it. To deeply understand you do listening and reading activities. You want to think critically while doing these activities trying to deeply understand the story. Try think how each event inthe story is interrelated, just like you would read a story in your native language, but harder because of all the unknown words. To make it easier do i+1 of Stephen Crashen's input hypothesis which is basically ~80% known/20% unknown words. But the point is just consume material with a greater amount of known words. It provides more/better context to understand the new words. If you want to avoid/reduce memorizing you can focus only on the speaking part and rely on conversation to learn. But you can only pull this off if you have the circumstances that allow you to converse a lot in your target language. You probably would want to learn to read anyway.

@@roberttallafer2299 okay. Thank you!

Every person is a visual learner it's how the brain works since visuals carry much more information in a neat grouped way Idk what you mean by potential but if you want to succeed at academics just use mindmapping and your imagination

Depending on your bank if it converts currency and it's available from time to time usually once a month

Arranging information by cause is good because theres a logical flow. In a mind map for example, if you had arrows going in every driection makes it difficult to understand whats going on. If there is a directionality to each idea it's way easier to understand whats going on.

​@@roberttallafer2299 But, Is it the only way ?

It's not the best way it's just a way part of infinite ways of connecting information and you should connect it based on relevancy which might be facts or maybe what you like or works for your brain or maybe all of these combined. Sung is delusional don't trust his every word

Replicate sometthing about what you're learning and then add or subtract things

His point is that a correct pre-study has you understanding the big picture but not the details and definitions. If you understand the main ideas and connections but wouldn't be able to describe them in detail it would've been a correct pre-study. The reason why you don't want to focus on the details at this stage is because pre-study is meant to prepare you for the topic that you'll study *later.*

@@Gigusx gotcha

It is good ignore this guy

Yes, it is a method of retrieval to test your knowledge after you have learnt (encoded) it initially.

Think about what other ways solve this question or what are the other possible correct answers basically analyze

@warriordx5520 thank you l, that was very helpful 😀

He is delusional since he is obsessed about minmaxing 2 hours a week to get 99% so he can spend more time bragging about it or something like that Lectures are very useful even if it's mindlessly watching them his course literally is full of lectures it's a common mistake to ignore lectures it's just that if you're only studying 2 hours a day then it's a waste of time since you can skip to notes and book or whatever and do that first and if it's a problem then do the lecture which then will be more effective cause you have an idea of what's going on and for most courses you don't really NEED the lecture but it's still useful nontheless To maximize lecture benefits you need to really study before lecture and after lecture and consider the lecture as just another practice session and if you're smart enough or don't care about perfect grades then in this scenario the lecture is uselsss

Idk the "study methods" are sketchy as hell. Blurting is just lesser worse version of free recall since it involves less "recall" and more about activity or feeling like you've done somehing

Re-reading re-studying re-thinking is actually the name of the game if you want to improve understanding and learning but ofcourse it can be done in infinite different ways and still be called Re-reading so it's a misguiding term. It should be called Deeper learning where you do the thing again but even better which im sure is already a thing done by many lol. Again Sung is delusional don't take him seriously

Have added that to the list of videos to make

Concepts is typicically used by Justin and myself. Its a drawing app with infinite canvas everyhing you need is free but also has paid features.

yep, concepts is great

Obsidian has a mod for drawing it's even better since you can map the notes themselves directly

Yes it's pretty good for that purpose but not directly taught

It is coming soon, I promise

It goes well for all people who need a distraction from real-life or need to make the material fun and bareable
