Its because anything even the great content & helpful content is the content you think is worth watching for yourself to know better - One thing to highlight here is that everyone on UA-cam, articles, websites try their very best to gain your attention, even Ali Abdaal with his 'helpful' videos. So you don't want to see anything and purely just start, because all of this does come under Entertainment actually. And for Entertainment your mind always tries to distract you. Now this is where your effort simply matters 💪🏼, it's efforting into it or nothing. That's all it is at the end of the day, you shouldn't depend on motivation. Yes motivation here and there is fine, but you should never depend on getting motivated in order to work, you need to build the ability to work no matter what. Gotta dive in and complete what you got 🔥 you'll feel much more relaxed afterwards & have time for what you like to do.
I also ranked 1st at cambridge in biochemistry. Ali's tips are good, but ultimately, having a true passion for your course so that time spent studying doesnt feel like studying and determination to understand it are what will help most.
@@farida7125 The first thing you need to do is set that mindset of something being hard and not understandable aside, and just focus on how you can learn that in a way that makes you apply to the way our body works, when you eat something what does it fo afterwards, not just think about it as some hard pathway that just exists like that, but rather being grateful that something like that is happening in your body and you will start appreciating it more and learning it won't be nearly as hard as it was. You don't have to believe me, but that's how it worked out for me. Appreciation and love is the key to learning anything, and remember also - you can never love everything and be great at almost everything you do and that is fine, it's just one life and don't spend it the way that it makes you feel like you have to do something that doesn't make you satisfied at the end of the day.

Massively useful video! But to every student who watched, remember that he studied Medicine, a major where you need to memorize a lot of things! If you are studying other majors, you might need to change some of these techniques, for instance if you are doing computer science, focus on applying it by carrying out projects instead of taking a lot of notes and memorizing, or if you are studying business management, focus on cracking cases using your class knowledge, apply apply apply!

I’m a physics student and I can say the way to internalize the problem solving process on a deep level, to where you can understand it from many angles and can work with the concepts in a nimble and flexible way, only comes from solving problems. Consistently apply yourself to solving problems that exemplify the material you are learning. The biggest advice I would give to an incoming freshman student if I was speaking candidly with them, is to remember that when you’re going about practicing or doing your homework, if and when you just don’t know what the answer is and you have no idea where to go with the problem, that is okay… I’d say get used to existing in that space. Nothing is wrong with you - if you already knew just how to solve the problem then assigning problem would be a pointless and trivial exercise. Be the learner, and get used to that zone of discomfort because really that’s just a clue that you are on a growth edge, and just stay consistent and use all of your resources (office hours and study groups) steadily throughout the term to clear up your understanding as you go.
My primary school brother now knows more medicine then probably i did when I was a second year med student cz my study method is teaching him ( who's very curious and asks about everything ) . That helped me remember mostly everything and gave me a free reminder , whenever I forget anything I go ask him and he remembers better than I do .
It’s more about understanding it fully! What we understand fully we remember. Try to close in on the gaps and you’ll see you will remember it because you will know it. When you get the books for your courses read the back, flip them through and read the titles and read the introduction and the overhead of the chapters. This sort of starts the brain, you’re telling it what’s coming and you get to ease your way into the knowledge. Then you start to read your first chapter and before you jump to the next chapter, take time to write down the outlines of the chapter and some theories (and explain the theories). When you do this you are giving this your extra focus and you are repeating it which is one fantastic way of learning. When you are done with your chapters and has taken your notes go over your notes and by doing this you will get one more repetition. The next day look at your notes again! If you have a lecture take notes and within 5-10 minutes after the lecture read your lecture notes. If you don’t have time right away to read your notes from the lecture, do it the moment you have a little bit of time it takes no more than 10-15 minutes. This repetition close to the lecture will make it easier to fish out the information from the brain and it will be fresh when you prepare yourself for your other stuff before the test. *The key to study success is:* 1) Get to know your books and what they are about before you dive in to read. 2) Take notes while you read so you can catch what you understand and what you need to look into more to understand. 3) Even if you feel like not doing it....take notes! You will thank yourself later (and always write which page in the book it’s from and which book). That will save you tons of time during your assignments. 4) Schedule breaks. To keep it up but also to make sure you brain and body gets breaks throughout your studying, so you can easier attain the information and don’t burn yourself out a few months down the studying path💕 5) Repetition, repetion and more repetion (instead of asking your sibling to remind you, ask him if you can discuss the subjects with him or if you may tell him what it’s about). Now you are telling your brain ”don’t really need to know it because he knows it and can remind you”. I’ve done this too, and it takes away our ability to learn things properly. 6) You have done an amazing job so far and will get what you set out to do, Nadine🙂💐

Even though note-taking might be a waste of time, having to study a 300 pages book is hard work I personally believe that having a solid 40-50 pages of well-written notes makes it possible to remember stuff This is particularly true because one usually has many exams at once, and notes are rarely available where I live (Austria)
1. Have an overview of the subject. 2. Read to understand. 3. Test what you’ve memorized and note the date + how well you’ve memorized. 4. Focus on testing the red subjects. 5. Frequent short study sessions > Single long session in terms of memorization. 6. Interleave subjects. 7. Do mock exams.
I was in an upper lever computer science course and the teacher said "you can bring a single cheat sheet, writing small on it is okay". I had made 5 such sheets, using diagrams, mnemonics, and other techniques in each sheet. This helped me to memorize all the sheets visually. At the test a girl beside me asked where my sheet was, I told her I actually made 5 and planned on using them all. She was like "What? Where are they?" and I tapped my temple. And she tried to rat me out to the teacher. "Professor, he's using 5 cheet sheets, but he's cheating because he memorized them all" and the prof was flabbergasted and said "that's called studying dear".

Ali I have implemented all of your tips from skillshare classes ' how to study for exams and ' How to make good anki flashcards'. Apart from that i started the stoicism series but didn't have any motivation to watch it since it wasn't "study stuff". Apart from I haven't really broken the habit of making atleast some notes in traditional outline format. Thanks for your wonderful videos!
I’m thinking of using the Feynman technique to study and understand information it’s the exact same as the teaching method of studying. You’re basically teaching yourself the subject or concept in simple language.
And u dont regret it either! It's somehow still as value-adding and entertaining as the previous ones. Ali's summarising, illustrating, and story-telling skills are 👌
Would it be applicable to use 'scope the subject' approach for studying a text book? For instance , applying it with 'Molecular Biology of the Cell'. I guess it could be 'scope-the-textbook'.
Love the tree analogy. Notetaking is a study technique that was sold dreams to us and made us think we were doing something😁😩It's good to know that having friends is a contributing factor to ranking 1st at Cambridge 🙂This was so informative, Ali! Thank you.

Now that I’m watching this video, I realise I do most of this things subconsciously when I’m studying, but I would recommend only doing flash cards for the things you struggle at and go over it a lot of times (steal other peoples flashcards)
I'd love some tips on how to combine university with part time job. Some 4 years ago I was able to study at work, now I find it too distracting. And after work I'm too tired to anything productive :-/
I struggle with reading. I fall asleep while reading and I hate that, anyone with tips would be much appreciated. My goal is to read much of my course work and books of interest without falling asleep. I tried reading both mornings and evenings and still get sleep and that results in not knowing what I read at all.
Be curious. Don't read just because you have to. Read because you're curious. Scope the material 1st, and then be like a 5 year old asking "What's that? How does that work? But why? And why is this impt to me? How does this connect to my life/career?" Also, speed reading the material 1st is better, because then you get the bigger picture without having to bother about insignificant details.
I don't know about your courses textbooks but I find that listening to the audiobook while reading the book has help me read a lot more. One you are absorbing the info to two different senses (listening and reading) and two, it forces you to follow along with the audio so your mind doesn't get distracted easily. But reading is a skill, so the more you do it the better and easier it will get. I like to set the audio speed to 1.5x speed, if the author talks really slowly.
Honestly it hurts my heart for him to say college will be the best years of your life. I mean, they could be, but that shouldn't be the norm. There is so much out there to learn, discover, experience, outside of young adulthood.
Thank you so much for this video!! Do you have any suggestions for those with adhd by chance. Been working on my degree now for several years with no progress.
What a striking coincidence,Expert Mrs blossom Jefferson changed my financial life tremendously I was able to pay off my loan $50000 with her methods, her method works like magic
Going back to my homeschool plan for my son, majority of the people don’t teach kids how to study. That’s the disappointing part in education. Kudos to Ali.
How do you use the combination of Notability, Notion and Anki? So in class you use Notability to write your notes. But what about then? From that making things in Notion or using anki? LG from Germany
I think you mean "flair" instead of "flare". Sorry if that sounds picky. I think that sort of illustrates the point you are making, though. Certain things pop out.
Ha, he's recycling old videos now, clearly dialing it in for $$$. He's going to be 44 years old and giving his top tips to rank first at Cambridge, I'm calling it now... I guess he's feeling the pressure of having to pay that staff of 23 people, plus rent in downtown London. Still, you have to be in awe of how he monetizes this self help BS.

Me: has watched all study videos and skillshare lessons by ali
Also me: *sees a new summarised study video by ali* hmm yeah lets watch this :D
And u dont regret it either! It's somehow still as value-adding and entertaining as the previous ones. Ali's summarising, illustrating, and story-telling skills are 👌
Same lol
I'm hoping to never have to study again since starting my UA-cam channel lol, still a great video!
This is exactly what I was looking for 🥺💙💙💙
Would it be applicable to use 'scope the subject' approach for studying a text book? For instance , applying it with 'Molecular Biology of the Cell'. I guess it could be 'scope-the-textbook'.
This was actually helpful. Thanks for the great video bruv
Love the tree analogy. Notetaking is a study technique that was sold dreams to us and made us think we were doing something😁😩It's good to know that having friends is a contributing factor to ranking 1st at Cambridge 🙂This was so informative, Ali! Thank you.

old Ali is back now, really liked your old treasure type of videos #active recall #Retrospective revision method . The best study playlist for me.

thankyou so much ali ,
i followed your instructions and guidelines strictly.
Thank u so much
.....I really needed thisss
Now that I’m watching this video, I realise I do most of this things subconsciously when I’m studying, but I would recommend only doing flash cards for the things you struggle at and go over it a lot of times (steal other peoples flashcards)
what a video !!!!!
very informative for students like me.
This video came out in the right time.
Most genuine businessman out there
I'd love some tips on how to combine university with part time job.
Some 4 years ago I was able to study at work, now I find it too distracting. And after work I'm too tired to anything productive :-/
It's very helpful for me especially cuz I'm preparing for Indian medical UG exam i.e NEET
No one else giving out information like Ali abdaal🔥🔥
That respective timetable thing is actually great if we seriously did it
I have to put in the effort AND study. Shocking.
Waow. Seeing the problem visually brings other things to the table. Nice stickers btw
I struggle with reading. I fall asleep while reading and I hate that, anyone with tips would be much appreciated. My goal is to read much of my course work and books of interest without falling asleep. I tried reading both mornings and evenings and still get sleep and that results in not knowing what I read at all.
active recall, active reading. reading out loud and taping it to listen?
Read in library
Be curious. Don't read just because you have to. Read because you're curious. Scope the material 1st, and then be like a 5 year old asking "What's that? How does that work? But why? And why is this impt to me? How does this connect to my life/career?"
Also, speed reading the material 1st is better, because then you get the bigger picture without having to bother about insignificant details.
I don't know about your courses textbooks but I find that listening to the audiobook while reading the book has help me read a lot more. One you are absorbing the info to two different senses (listening and reading) and two, it forces you to follow along with the audio so your mind doesn't get distracted easily. But reading is a skill, so the more you do it the better and easier it will get. I like to set the audio speed to 1.5x speed, if the author talks really slowly.
@@DararathKhon I appreciate your tip so much. Thank you. It can get quite depressing for me so seriously, thank you.
Pretty helpful video. Definately cheered me up. 😁
Thank you for this video very helpful
I watch things and actively recall with my bf. He's not a medical person but it makes it active and I memorize it well.
What happened to your latest video? The 2 hr livestream?
Thank ypu so much for this video❤️
Ali Abdaal didn't link the Spotify study music playlist 😬😬 17:20
Please do mention it!
Huge fan of your content Ali 💕
i feel so sad coz I love taking notes coz its easy to do. and that's the reason why. :(
I absolutely love the case of your MacBook 😍. Where did you get it?
Can you make a video on how to make effective anki flashcards? Or does anyone has any recommendation tutorial? Thanks guy!
Well done my dear!
Honestly it hurts my heart for him to say college will be the best years of your life. I mean, they could be, but that shouldn't be the norm. There is so much out there to learn, discover, experience, outside of young adulthood.
Nice Video... helped me alot!
Yes!!!! Finaly, that is we want!!
I was sleeping while watching this video to improve my memory retention 🤓🤓
Pls make more study tips video
14:17 Ali placed the 'shake hands' emoji upside down catched my attention XDDDD
Very useful✨️ thanks
Thanks
Best video ever in UA-cam thanks
Sir, you should make video about how you prepare to get into cambridge
if you don't recommend note taking then what do you suggest doing during a lecture?
Thank you so much for this video!! Do you have any suggestions for those with adhd by chance. Been working on my degree now for several years with no progress.
Very inspiring although I don’t have any interest in studying medicine 😅
You echo my sentiments lmao
That is ok. I think he felt the same!
You can apply these tips to any subject you are studying not necessarily just medicine.
@@luzvez Yes but the OG Comment was just kidding
Wow you ranked no 1 ?? That’s so freaking inspiring, making us Pakistanis proud!!

I found this video on best time possible.
Where there's Ali, there is active recall and spaced repetition 😁
Wow, so useful video. I know exactly, It can helps a lot of students. You're my the best motivator. Thank youuu)
I tried to slow the video down to 75X but it didn't seem natural but then when I went back to normal it went back to sounding like it was 1.25X
this looks so promisiny but i think I'll have to wach this later
0.75 speed works perfectly fine!
Going back to my homeschool plan for my son, majority of the people don’t teach kids how to study. That’s the disappointing part in education. Kudos to Ali.
Sir amazing idea and video that can't make anyone amazing sir thank you ..I am you your fan from past 1 year🥰🥰😍😍
How do you use the combination of Notability, Notion and Anki? So in class you use Notability to write your notes. But what about then? From that making things in Notion or using anki? LG from Germany
I love study tips 💕
Thank you
I think you mean "flair" instead of "flare". Sorry if that sounds picky. I think that sort of illustrates the point you are making, though. Certain things pop out.
How about mind maps and spreading it out by drawings
Professor : What do you gain after becoming 1st ?
Ali Abdaal: earned money by making youtube video :")
(Take it in a funny way)
HAHHAAHHAHAHHAHA
thank you so much!
Ha, he's recycling old videos now, clearly dialing it in for $$$. He's going to be 44 years old and giving his top tips to rank first at Cambridge, I'm calling it now... I guess he's feeling the pressure of having to pay that staff of 23 people, plus rent in downtown London. Still, you have to be in awe of how he monetizes this self help BS. The man is definitely an inspiration, I'll give him that.
butuh banget infonya dalam video ini, tapiiiii... dia ngmg cepet banget ya tuhan, malah ielts ku pas pasan lagi.. well, thank you for your tips,
