A lot of people don’t discuss about this I think this comes from our fears of not wanting to do them. Because we fear of not being able to get it done, good enough, and get it correct. The way how to beat procrastination by writing down a list of things you dread, and need to get done. After that use one of the many methods that works for you the reward system, pomodoro method, and etcetera. By doing this you defeated procrastination, still this will take a lot of work.

Update! I got 94%!! This is the highest grade in science I have ever received! To be completely honest my exam was a couple of weeks away by the time I watched this video so unfortunately I had to cram a tiny bit, however I always kept in mind this principle of active recall and it worked! What I found was most effective was writing down everything you could remember from the top of your head and then adding to it. This worked SO much better than just copying notes because in this respect I was putting the concepts into my own words and so that demonstrated where my faults were so much easier. Anki also was an absolute gem for this. I recommend putting in terms as you go, but even cramming Anki worked extremely well instead of just watching videos. For chemistry I highly recommend Tyler Dewitt, every single video I watched from him was relevant for my exam. I am thrilled by these results and will continue studying in this manner! This will probably get drowned in the sea of comments but I'll put this here: I have exams in a couple weeks and I am most concerned about my science exam. I am curious to see what happens when I use these study techniques. Guess I'll edit this after I get my results back! 1. Practise testing (!!!) - Anki 2. Making notes with the book closed, then open book to see what you missed. - Spider diagrams 3. Cornell note-taking method - Write questions to actively answer them Welp, here goes!

Next, I'll go for "rereading + active recall", but I don't take notes, instead I close my books, think of a topic then speak out loud like I'm talking or explaining to myself, to check whether I understand what I've read or not. Everybody is different. We all have our own method that suits ourselves, mine includes many.

Maths is everything about practice bro. Just make a formula sheet and paste it somewhere and watch it everyday. And try to solve a handful of questions

@saloni.sharma 2 года назад

You're right.. I think for engineering, it's crucial to have some form of formula bank and charts at hand... I had color coded summaries and formulas when I used to study... But it's still useless if you don't practice questions. Practising solidifies the formula and it's application in our brain much better than just memorising formulas. It's something that definitely worked so I see why he's emphasising the active recall techniques.

@matjazmuc-7124 2 года назад

When I was in the navy one of the strategies we used to memorize a lot of information quickly was to write and rewrite from memory the text or diagrams we needed to learn. Most people had a white board that they would use so you could write it, erase, write it again, etc. It was very effective.

@danielwong126 5 лет назад

Active Recall/ Practice testing -anything that uses cognitive effort 1) make notes with the book closed 2) use anki 3) in class, use the cornell note taking method, write questions for yourself and then answer them at a later time when you are revising (try to practice test yourself as many times as possible and as frequently as possible = spaced repeatition) ultimately the 2 most effective learning techniques are active recall AND spaced repetition!

I just realized I've been using active recall intuitively my whole life. I used to do it as a game, like "playing the teacher" when I was a kid. I still do it when I'm bored to death by the subject. One downside of active recall is that it's extremely time-demanding, if our educational systems are taken into account. Sometimes, it's faster to cram as much information in when all you need to do is pass a test and that's where our systems fail us.

"We learn far better by practicing and retrieving stuff from our brains rather than putting stuff into our brains." WOW. I've restarted studying for the MCAT over 3 times. Each time, I've wasted time simply rereading because I was scared my brain forgot everything. But I need to trust that I got this. I will definitely try active recall this time. Thank you!

I am so glad you mentioned we are expected to know how to study.

So what happens is I procrastinate and get anxiety because I want to do well but do not want to study and barley learn anything. This has given me so much hope you wouldn't believe and for that I am so grateful!

@mbel1488 2 года назад

I must say these strategies really do work. While getting my psych degree, I had to work 50hrs a week and took 18 units each semester. My friends would get upset because I would do better on all my exams, while spending a fraction of the time they did on studying. They were all very intelligent. However, studying smarter not harder really does make a difference in understanding the material. Good Luck to everyone! Remember to meditate as well! Happy studying 📖

I concur otherwise. Re-reading your notes is extremely effective if you've a good understanding of a particular topic. When you actually re-read notes, you notice the information gaps in your notes. That way, you can make the notes better, improve upon them. That's how anything starts. Everything starts from what you've learnt previously and improving upon it through your experience.

Therefore repent and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped out, that seasons of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send Jesus, who has been appointed for you as the Messiah. Acts 3:19‭-‬20 CSB From then on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, because the kingdom of heaven has come near.” Matthew 4:17 CSB “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!” Mark 1:15 CSB Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, unless someone is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Jesus answered, “Truly I tell you, unless someone is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. John 3:3‭, ‬5 CSB Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6 CSB For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life. John 3:16 GNB bible.com/bible/296/jhn.3.16.GNB

If I get above 8.0 this semester in my electrical engineering undergrad, I'll be running around the campus with your picture stuck on my forehead. Anyways, very helpful!. OK this blew up! After 2 years what I realized after getting 8.34 and 8.67 is that test scores are the least important thing in education. If you truly love the subject, you will succeed! In my case, I made a wrong decision of taking Electrical Engineering and thus, I just wanted to at least keep my parents happy! So my advice as an idiot would be to take up subjects only after good amount of research. Maybe the college for your fav subject might not be great, but its the students that give worth to a college. And if you are really good at what you love doing, YOU WILL GET NOTICED. Good luck internet strangers! UPDATE 2: am 22 now and work at huge MNC as a DevOps engineer. I earn more than anyone in my family but most importantly have a work that I absolutely enjoy doing. Being from middle class, I now have plenty in my pocket and absolutely enjoy every passing day. All I can say is that the current education system is shit and test scores are useless.

In university, that is also a way we are taught to write essays. Explain in such a way you'd explain to someone who has little to the knowledge of the course. In doing this, not only are you being specific in detail, but you're also giving out a lot of information and also adding to your word count😅. Our lecturers always stress that we should not ”assume” they know what we're writing about coz we end up missing a lot of vital points. Coz who knows, you paper might be featured in the schools newspaper. People who don't take your course need to understand what you wrote. Also, this helps one engage a lot more with their content.

@mandyn0429 4 года назад

Hathat Bima with Maths it's always helpful to go through past exam papers. When I'm on a time crunch, I used to skip all the book exercises and went straight to going through past papers. Not only are you actively recalling but you're also getting a feel of how questions will be asked and how they (based on the memo) want/ expect you to answer them. (I'm not saying don't be active in class and not take notes, but I do recommend spending most of your time (at least 70%) on doing past papers. Especially when dealing with numbers because not every problem is the same. It helps you think outside the box, so they say😌). This is a late response, but I hope it helps. Also I only just came across this video😅.

Quick question about active recall and anki. Would you say it's better to make anki cards that force you to recall a definition or to use the cloze deletion method?
