Notion for Beginners - Everything You Need to Know to get Started with Notion TODAY!
Notion is a tool that allows you to organise everything from notes, to holidays, to recipes, all in one place. However, notion can feel a bit daunting at first, and is not the easiest to get started with. Therefore, in this video, I cover all the basics you need to begin using notion, and change the way you work and organise your life for good.
Don't hesitate to pause the video and rewind, I am aware that I go a little too fast at points.

    Hi Markos! Firstly, thanks for your videos, they help a LOT. I am a 10th grade student wanting to study med in the future. I will be applying to Germany and basically can choose any dual combination of aa maths, chem, or bio as two of my higher levels. I find it really hard to make the decision as there are soo many diverse opinions on the subject, regarding how hard any of them is. Do you or any of those watching have a suggestion? I would really appreciate it.

    It worth if U apply outside Ur country within High Universities Reputation Only ...... And if U are Eastern Catholic within Western Catholic boards Educations system teachers and staffs as they not Grants U a highest Score.... But the problem here IB Students average will be equal to the non IB Students and the Non IB students will be Higher for acceptance than IB Students,,,, As the IB Students study and write Exams For all Books compare to the Non IB Students.... Here is A Lack of Luck For the IB Students... As there is No IB University Exists in each province Only for IB Students Acceptance to balance and compare there Levels to Non IB Students..... Hopefully they could solve the issue Related to the IB Students within Building IB University in Each Province of The Country like Canada .... To be Qualified for there achievement and Study Performance of the IB Students....

    • @MarkosDrakos
      @MarkosDrakos 3 місяці тому

      IB is only two years - year 12 and 13. Depending on the country you can then go to medical school. In the US you need to do 3 college years before you can do medicine. In the UK you can apply straight from school to medicine.

I also cant choose between calculus and statistics. Idk which one is more beneficial.

    • @MarkosDrakos
      @MarkosDrakos 3 місяці тому

      I did SL maths. We didn't have AA or AI back in my year. I don't think the maths matters that much I'll be honest, but statistics is probably the most beneficial for you. You can absolutely have a social life in the IB, don't worry!

    IB helped you to write essays that helped you to get admission in university. So, I know a friend, who started teaching English Reading & Writing from several teachers for about 3 years while he was studying in school. Well, that definitely improved his English Writing skills and he got accepted in Oxford University in his very first attempt to study Medicine. So, my Question is, Why do we still need to get IB Diploma if we can still get accepted by other top universities without it?

    • @vig7095
      @vig7095 5 місяців тому

      ​@@Laila-fh1lcHey! I haven't watched the full video yet, but I have seen the part where he said don't make huge amount of notes on the patterns that you see, and I totally agree! In fact, I didn't take any notes at all of the patterns which I came across. Personally, I used MedEntry to prepare for the UCAT, and I installed the MedEntry app on my phone as well. Whenever I had the time, I did AR questions, whether than be on the bus, on my way back to school, etc. I did this for everyday for 2 months as well as doing 50-75 questions everyday for AR on my laptop when I came back home. So basically, I just did a bunch of questions to get 840. Nothing peculiar, nothing out of the ordinary, just sheer practise. If you have any other doubts you can ask me as well. I know it's a very peculiar way of studying for AR, but it worked really well for me.

    The worst part of taking IB is not the subjects themselves or the difficulties. You get flattered by the number of works you have to get done at the same time, especially the requirements of the diploma: EE, TOK, CAS, IAs. Multitasking is necessary, so people like me who like to focus on a single thing always find ourselves lost.
