@MedSchoolInsiders can you make a video on medical laboratory science and hoe the programme is

I know a short asian kid in freshmen year highschool... I saw him walking around with a book in his arm labeled, "How to study for geometry." and another one, "Best note taking tips for math."

@@dreamempowerment2458bnhi😊

Shut up, don't say that. Repeat after me, I will become a dermatologist. I am sure you can do anything you put your mind to.

@@god_god_8054 very good. I love seeing this kind of encouragement

@@god_god_8054 exactly, don’t half ass it then say it wasn’t meant to be

@@edhcb9359 LMAAOO

I hate to say this but many medical schools no longer like to see you take sciences at community college.

Thank you so much. This means a great reminder for me whenever I tend to overwhelm myself on school works

Agree (based from experience)

Facts

Agree. it’s been 6 years, and the pressure to do good to maintain that is hard.

Absolutely agree ❤

I study little for an engineering student. However I think I’m worthless cuz the university I’m studying in isn’t famous. I always feel jealous towards those who are in famous institutions hence my 4.0 is useless

@@I_am_FRANCO Who cares about famous institutions? You should be pursuing your education for yourself and your future career. Be the best version you can be 👊👏👏

@@audiomac okay but would an employer/any random person rather choose the 2.8-3.0 student from a very prestigious university or a 3.8-4.0 from an unknown institution

@@I_am_FRANCO as long as your institution is an accredited university you are fine-the most important thing, especially for engineering students, is projects, relevant experience. employers would much rather see a student from a not as well known institution be a leader and gain lots of experience than some random student from a prestigious

Same!! I am not smart, just hard working. But I found that despite carrying a heavy baggage I still have the desire to get a good grade, so I push my teammates when the deadline of the project is closer.

This motivates me:)

What in the hell? Of course you are smart !🤓 but the thing that matters is that you are hard working. It always comes down to that.

I'm a straight A student studying radiography. Currently my GPA is 3.8. My highschool GPA was 2.2 and I missed 2 and a half years of highschool, only had a GED, and missed 3 years of middle school. I have never been a 'star student.' Just because you didn't do well in the past doesn't mean you can't do well in the future. Knowing how to study something is very important. Take for example medical terminology. A person may try to memorise 3000+ illness and diseases and different terms. It's incredibly inefficient. However, if you take a different perspective you can see that about 2500 of those terms are all built using around 200 words 'parts.' If you memorise the parts, you can build the words so instead of 3000+ terms, you memorise about 700 instead. Which yes on the surface is a lot still but you don't need to know every single one of those. In terms of anatomy and physiology, you can memorise every bone and muscle or you can memorise how they're named. Take for example the "Iliotibial band" You can just memorise it as its location or you can take a moment to focus on how its named. Ilio-tibial. Tibial / tibia. It's connected to the tibia. Same goes for the sternocleidomastoid. Sternum, cleido (collarbone) tells you roughly where it connects. For me, a huge part of doing well in college is just learning how to learn the content. My first exams I take of any semester I do poorly on and I tend not to care. Then I look back and see what are the exams quizzing me on. Do I need to pay more attention to the theory? To the people who developed the theories? To the statistics shown? to hypothetical situations? Considering all of these helps me consolidate where my focus should be. Many classes also have a "competencies" list that tells you what the unit focuses on. Keep those aspects in mind while you're studying. If it says analyzing data as a competency, you'll be paying more attention to the statistics in the content. If it says critical thinking, you'll be focusing on a lot of open ended hypothetical questions. Learning how to learn is very essential. If you're struggling with learning, take a moment and figure out how your class is structured, the units you're going through, how it's put together, and how your unit you're working on is structured. Being organised in your approach is essential.

guys what r u doing to get these grade pls help

that's not how it always works...

@@rose-blossoms I think how well you do on your test can tell if you're a good student or not. Personally I don't put in the work, I don't study that's why I can't achieve results like straight A students. And most straight a student always do great in exams

I disagree heavily with this. People who put in the time to do their work and study for long periods can struggle even more than someone who learned something in one lesson.

That's true! Intelligence doesn’t comes from your grades I've seen many smart people who have bad grades, sometimes its just about the effort Remember small progress is still progress, dont give up!

@@Avira_loves_you 👏

Most top students teach others. Hence why they continue to be top students. 😂

Agree. Most people don't prioritize sleep come from myself as sleep is for weakness mindset.

@@mechamicro Because school interrupts their internal clock.

How much is good amount of sleep vs how much is a bad amount?

@@citra3325 they say 8-10hrs for teens and 8hrs for adults but everyone is different. I know a friend who sleeps 6hrs and he wakes up refreshed and always performs well in whatever he does

@@1mphulse i get 2 hours of sleep and perform well is that unhealthy still as a 15 year old

Tnks. Still a passive learner and then I introduced distractions and slipped wen making my decisions.

Good Luck

Study groups or reteaching does a great job on this. We perform better when study as a group during exam weeks

my gen chem lab is at 7:20 am - 11:20 im sooo grateful the prof pushed it back to 8:20. I have an 8 am every day of the week almost.

@@janellezavaleta1426 that's brutal, are you naturally a morning person?

@@bilalkhares4932 I’ve became one! I’ve always liked doing things up and early, but if given the chance, I will stay up & sleep in.

12AM-7AM (Meditation enhances reduces sleep) Take it or leave it.

Totally agreed, most of my classes this term start at 10 or 12(or 4pm one day),, and my days tend to end around 4, 6, or 9pm

Thank you!

I have to study so many different things about maths chemistry physics that I forget everything at the end

Although your gpa may not look the best, you still achieved an amazing recovering. Most people who were in your shoes would’ve simply given up, but you pushed through it. Idk if you’re in high school or not but if you are this is a huge + for admissions officers because it shows that you have the dedication and mental fortitude to recover from a bad position. To be honest, this is probably much more impressive than simply maintaining a 3.9 throughout high school

@@lqtor5950 Thank you so much! You words and appreciation means a lot 🙏🏻 That’s my GPA in pharmacy school not high school 😅 I’m a third year student now.

Which strategies have you been using

Take one step at a time, i know you're good ✌️

Same. I did well at community college with 4.0 then my first semester at the university, I got a 2.8 gpa. I managed my time better and got 4.0 the last two semesters. I did my work earlier and am communicating with my instructors more if I am struggling.

It does for the quality of the program you plan to transfer. Thus, being more prepared and higher chances to obtain a job.

Exactly

❤that's inspiring however I think you will do great. Maybe you should try attending social engagements for things you enjoy outside of work to help enhance your social skills as it pertains to the patients

@@Cweetz yes you are right...thanks for advice

kinda proud my gpa is 4.0🫶🫶

I'm 14 years old in 9th grade

Yeah

Can attest to that

LOLL

Our current education system is absolutely outdated and in need of improvement!

Ah😅 It's all about discipline and commitment..Being disciplined to force yourself to get the work done and also setting an everyday target of what you want to read that day... Good luck 🎉

Me on the other hand incorporates all these techniques and still manages to do shit

Life is not all about school you will find something that you are good at

ezzi bro, i know

I think the slotution for your problem is, when you come home tired it's ok to rest & maybe take a nap, you can also sleep super early like 8pm & wake up super early to study.
