MORE EFFORT = MORE RETENTION Quizzing (Active recall) - testing yourself - use flashcards to quiz yourself Spacing (Spaced repetition) - spread out your studying over time - space out your study time - review again before you forget it to improve your forgetting curve Mixing (Interleaving) - understand the connection of different ideas - switch different subjects - 50mins on, 10mins off
Can someone please help me with understanding.. I didn't understand how often I should change the subject I'm learning - is it every session of 50 min I should switch to something else or? That seems weird to me so please if someone can clarify
@@maca_ker let me explain it to you with an example.. you have 3 subjects X ,Y, Z and you study 6 hours a day...so instead of giving 2 hours to X ,then 2 hours to Y, and lastly 2 hours to Z (which makes 6 hours in total) .try to give 1 hour to X, then 1 hour to Y, then 1 hour to Z( which is 3 hours in total) and here you repeat the process of studying X,Y and Z for 1 hour each again ( which is total of 3 hours). Which at the end of the day makes 6 hours of studying.So 2nd method is more effective because it somewhere at the back of your mind keeps you alert to not forget the information you studied earlier. Now you can apply this to your no.of subjects and hours you study.
Studying smarter is so high-key. I've found that with something as content-heavy as medicine if I weren't studying smart all these years would have felt near enough impossible and definitely would not have freed up time for other projects! Thanks for sharing Mike, this is gonna be useful to a lot of people! 😎
We appreciate your support as always! Yea our goal is to aid all those who have many more years of school to go haha, hopefully this gm video finds them
This is exactly how I studied for biology and other subjects. I made a little question catalog with what I assumed would come to the test and just filled out stuff I already knew. And the stuff I didn't know, I would just look for the answer in my notes and write it, because afterwards I would question myself again anyways by covering the answers with a piece of paper. This way I memorize some stuff before I even beginn studying
I can't believe you don't have more subscribers -- this channel is fantastic. I love your studying tips, but I love even more that you share your thoughts about not getting caught up in perfectionist culture, reflecting on what really matters, having a happy life now and not just when you reach some educational goal. Keep up the excellent work. I'm going to share your channel with my kids (two in HS & two in college) and others. Also, RemNote has such great potential, and I can't wait to see how it develops over time. My kids and I are putting all of their encyclopedic "Marvel" knowledge into RemNote for a fun way to learn its many features.
i feel that that the interleaving technique can be better elaborated upon. imo interleaving is best used if the subject ties in together with a common concept, for example medicine and psychology are well interlinked (pun intended). but if its something like medicine and coding, then there's very little linkage between those 2 topics and one should only try to focus on a single topic at hand rather than jumping back and forth. in many parts of the world it has become common practice to take a core major (eg. medicine) and also a completely unrelated minor (eg. design) hence the suggestion :) cheers!
_I hope some channels address studying techniques for engineering students, because flash cards don't often apply to us. We have terms and concepts but more than half the time, we are solving problems and combining Science and Math together like a perfect balance, unlike medicine programs that heavily focus on Science. Also, spaced repetition is really hard for many of us, since if we divided a number of hours into 7 days, and then use the Pomodoro technique which is 25 mins study - 5 mins rest, we're unlikely to understand what we're studying because solving problems and testing ourselves don't just take 30 minutes. Sometimes we spend hours on a certain problem._
I am super excited to have found this and put it to use. I will be attending school after a 12 year break while studying for my real estate license and GC license so I am so happy to have been able to find this. Thank you guys and I'll check in as I go.
Always lookin forward to new insight from you guys. Best take away for me from this video was to test yourself just as you're about to forget that piece of information for maximum retention.
Thank you for all of this. I'm suspecting myself of ADHD because I have very little interest in studying and focusing on it is a problem (and also because I have other symptoms indicative of ADHD). With this method, I hope to achieve a better suited way to study and stop avoiding it just because I hate it so much. Thank you for making this free and available to us all!

Quality content, I didn't know that you were the co founder of remnote. Amazing ! Just something that might have been missed. On 8:21 there is a typo for "peek", just wanted to let you know
Flashcards are for mainly memorizing a huge amount of information. I'd say this works for human sciences and medicine. While Feynman technique is focused for things like math, physics, chemistry.
@@vinnizereypilapil5618 As I see things, philosophy is more crucial at first understand the concepts by being able to explain it for anyone, so I'd say that Feynman might work better. However, if u have a pile of philosophers to understand their key points, Quizziling yourself with the main idea might function as well. What do you think?
This is the best video on studying and learning I have ever seen. I am having my son get a remnote account and I am buying him those two books. I was fascinated throughout the entire 13 minutes. Thank you Mike and Matty.
I know you like coffee, and I like tea, so I thought I would share some of my tricks. Caffeine supposedly works by blocking adenine receptors in the brain. Actually if you drink too much coffee or tea, it will make you tired. I put low sodium soy sauce in my tea, because it is a source of glutamate, a stimulatory neurotransmitter. I also add B vitamin liquid which can convert glutamate to GABA (for focus). Another additive is pedialyte with dextrose (glucose). Glucose is the preferred fuel of the brain, and glucose is better than sucrose (sugar). You should also eat a bit of simple starch for more glucose, and even build up glycogen reserves for study.
I wish I watched your videos BEFORE I took my local physician licensure exams :( At least it's not too late to watch these before my USMLE prep! Thank you!!

Cheers from Brazil, my friend. I work as a computer programmer and I'm always studying. I remember my years in University and I'd use hand-taken notes and try to recall them re-writing on papers like I was teaching (I liked to study in the library so I couldn't speak or make noise). For some lectures I tried a flashcards app, and worked fine too. Nowadays I use Teaching Back and Flashcards Softwares.

But the good part is that for things I use flashcards, I don't take many notes (I only write a fluxogram). I scan what'll read and during the study session I go and write questions. When reviewing I can go back to the book and create more cards. Teaching Back is incredible but the problem is that it takes too long reviewing. I use Onenote to take notes and I see the page title and start explaining with words or even typing. I'd like to see a video of you having real studying sessions with different methods. Starting to check a new material and reviewing. Congrats for your channel! You're great.
Wow thanks for sharing your workflow, it’s so helpful to see how other people learn and always interesting to me. I think you have a good idea for a new video. Have you seen this one we made? It describes the new content learning very similar to what you mentioned: ua-cam.com/video/ypwg8tkDoFk/v-deo.html
Medicine students are built different! I just had my final exams and now having a summer break. I'm just cleaning the house and listening to your input which is going to make a huge difference for my future learning process! I usually avoid videos like this because I'm immediately feeling bad and guilty, knowing I'm supposed to study at that moment so now is the perfect time :D
@@KoiAcademy I've already signed up, subscribed and watched most of your videos. Is it okay to register using my university email? Anyway, more power to you, guys!
Ive been an honor student for a long time by just pushing it through brute force, but I recently found my work unbearable and too much and I recently found out that im studying the wrong way and im really great full for these videos. Really though you have saved me a lot
Excellent content, spectacular clarity. Being able to quizz myself 3 times on the one read-through would assume that I was really interested in the topic, fully engaged and had already some familiarity. I am considering jumping into anatomy and phisiology of the blood and lymph systems (as prep for lymph massage) but the domain is totally out of my expertese. I guess it would then be advisable to at least plough through the materials once to create some hooks, some familiarity BEFORE I actually try to learn the stuff. Right? I can't imagine testing myself after one read.
Your videos are such a blessing. There are many other videos on this topic but to me they just kinda drag on and don't present the points perfectly. So thank you very much for this. I have one question. Who is the artist that illustrates in your videos? Love the artstyle
great content, looking forward to viewing more study tactics. I struggle with language learning. After a few years, I actually believe its a mindset problem.
I thought that way at first, but nah., Sunday is too crammed. What if it was seven concepts he had to study? Seven concepts in seven minutes, with only a day to test yourself? That’s too less... I think the ideal day would be Saturday, and then he can do self-testing on sunday. Then he would be doing better on Monday.
Wow you guys are super growing and fast! I love it! I need to get my momentum back. Hope you're all still following! Love the video btw! Super informative!
@@KoiAcademy Yes, I am moving to Hawaii so I've been distracted lol but yes you're right! I'm gonna get my ish together. 🤣I'll be back shortly! Thanx for staying!
I've subscribed to your Chanel :D. really love your videos. So helpful and informative! I just wished I knew this sooner :). I'm learning another language right now and I don't feel like I've made big progress and it's because I only re-reading and re-write all of my study material. Thank you! :D
Hi! I'm glad I found your video. What you said here makes a lot of sense and I want to try them. I hope you will see and respond to my comment/question. I'm studying for the Bar which is 6 months from now. The Bar where I'm from is is an 8-subject, all-essay exam. What I have been doing, which is different from the usual tips I get for studying (that is mostly heavy memorization, which I am terrible at), is that I see to it that I underasand the concepts and memorize the key words that help me remember them. One of the tips I am told, in terms of strategy for better recall, is to study one subject at a time (which means 1 thick book of say criminal law reviewer) then shift to the next subject when I am done, which, watching your video, seems to me, is totally not mixing/interleaving. I have doubts about this method even before I saw your video so what I have been doing studying all 8 subjects daily (1 hour each) which is xlose to what you say is mixing but closer to what you referred to also as multi-tasking. I am really weak at memorizing that's why I prefer to study all my 8 subjects on a daiky basis so I won't forget them easily. May I know your thoughts about this. Thanks!
Hi so glad to connect, yes I’m with you on studying the multiple topics way, it can help you relate info between the topics and help you understand/compare/contrast which can be helpful if you test covers all the topics at once. I made a video with more detail here: ua-cam.com/video/SnBEptVeqek/v-deo.html Good luck and thanks for all you do :)
Quizing is a big part of my study that helps me to retain info for a long period of time. The more I failed at the questions, the better the overall results were. Thanks a lot for the great tips!
@@KoiAcademy really?! I started to wonder when Matty mentioned 'ruot' in a previous video but wasn't sure because we call it 'chà bông' in my family haha so glad I found my way to your channel wish you the best for the future :D
Hi, thanks for this video! Where can I post a question? I am studying Computer Science and would like ideas how to learn C++ and Digital Systems using the study techniques used here (it's not like I'm looking information that can easily be transfered to a flash card)
1. Вместо повторения одного и того же нужно тестировать себя и задавать себе вопросы. Возможно даже самому писать для себя тесты. 2. Учебные сессии не должны быть длинными (Аля 4 часа подряд), гораздо эффективнее делать перерывы, например 50 работы - 20 минут отдыха, или использовать метод помодоро. 3. Вместо практики уже изученного материала, комбинируй сложность. Если задача достаточно (но не слишком) запутанная, это поможет мозгу увидеть взаимосвязи между концептами, тем самым, значительно улучшить понимание материала. P.s буду единственным, кто оставил коммент на русском 😎
Love the video's you guys make. I have a question about RemNote and the flashcards. As I see now the only option is to make flashcards of which the second side is hidden. Is there also an option for instance to blur out words from sentences. Or give the answers but then you have to match the question. Or simply type in the answer instead of having to call it out loud (or in my head). Or make a multiple choice answer to a question. Basically more a of quiz kind of way to learn.
Hey thanks for the support! You can make cloze cards (find it in keyboard shortcuts) and you can also make image occlusion cards (simply insert any image you want to study and click on the image to make a card) . You can also make free text cards, but we don’t yet have multiple choice. You can however make multiple line answers, and if you type ::1. You can make a multiple line answer card that reveals each answer in chronological order
Loved this video & this channel! Thank you! I start medical school next Fall & I like to download the powerpoint & hand write notes during class, does RemNote also work for this method?
You guys developed remnote??? WOW THATS HONESLTY AMAZINGG! I went through remnote and it was structured perfectly! But i really wish it was available to download on iOS
Flashcards are a great way to quizz yourself, but i find that making them takes so much time there isn’t any time left to actually go through them. Any advice??
Do you know about VitalSource Bookshelf? I have online lifetime access to Voets' Biochemistry. The phone app can read the text to you, and you can follow along reading. In addition, you can highlight and write notes on your online copy. I think there also might be test questions in a workbook, but I haven't got to use it yet.
Gary could study one day before the test and still do well, and the theory that he would forget everything is just valid if the study on the first day btw.
Hello there, your videos are pretty amazing, Thanks! I have a question though. how exactly should I recall while self-studying it ,for example: 1) Study for 30-50 minutes and then try to recall OR 2) Study for 2-5 minutes and recall 3) Studying whole day and then recalling After that while doing spaced repetition as I have not made notes, how to utilize the textbook for spaced repetition ? In subjects like History and geograohy ? Thanks again.
Welcome to the channel :) sounds like you might want to check out this video to answer your questions haha ua-cam.com/video/Ie-__POGl8Q/v-deo.html. Are you a student ? Why are you studying?
@@KoiAcademy Haha, The fact of the matter is I had seen the video already. Yes, I am a student. I am preparing for civil services exam which has subjects like History, Geography, Polity, Economy and the like. But since I read 120-150 pages of a subject a day. My question is when to do the active recall. You would say -after finishing a topic. But here is the thing, if i do this, then I will be able to study only 40-50 pages of a subject like history or Psychology. And that I don't know why but bothers me. That's the fear which is stopping me from doing active recall. What would you suggest ?
@@ashishratnawat2711 very nice thanks! Active recall is the most important thing and the more time you can spend on it the better. If you don’t understand the material yet then you obviously have to read, but just read to get the big picture understanding and save the details for when you use active recall
@@KoiAcademy Thank you very much for replying so quickly! I have another question, is it normal to just know 25-60% of what you read just once ? Specially for a beginner using AR ? Then, one should fill in the gaps by reading in the same study session, right ?
@@ashishratnawat2711 yea that’s normal, we usually forget >50% of what we learn after the first day so it’s good to review the next day. And gradually you can space it out with spaced repetition
Hi Mike, thank you for the helpful tips. How do you figure out what is important to quiz and if you actually understand the material enough to quiz? If that makes sense. Thanks!
Ways to figure out if it’s important and will be on the test: ask the professor, check the syllabus, ask someone who’s already taken the class, check the chapter objectives (this is what the author thinks is important), check the end of chapter review questions, if you are studying for a standardized test then practice books will tell you. If you can’t teach it to someone else without peeking at your notes, then you might not know it well enough. Hope that helps :)

MORE EFFORT = MORE RETENTION
Quizzing (Active recall)
- testing yourself
- use flashcards to quiz yourself
Spacing (Spaced repetition)
- spread out your studying over time
- space out your study time
- review again before you forget it to improve your forgetting curve
Mixing (Interleaving)
- understand the connection of different ideas
- switch different subjects
- 50mins on, 10mins off
thanks for the concise notes :)
cheers mate

too long reviewing. I use Onenote to take notes and I see the page title and start explaining with words or even typing.
I'd like to see a video of you having real studying sessions with different methods. Starting to check a new material and reviewing.
Congrats for your channel! You're great.
Wow thanks for sharing your workflow, it’s so helpful to see how other people learn and always interesting to me. I think you have a good idea for a new video. Have you seen this one we made? It describes the new content learning very similar to what you mentioned: ua-cam.com/video/ypwg8tkDoFk/v-deo.html
@@KoiAcademy I'll check it right now! Thanks!
I’m returning to college to study BioMedicine! Thank you for sharing and making education accessible 👩🏻🔬🤍
OMG!! This was a eye-opener, amazing tips!! I'm so happy I found your channel!!! THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤
Medicine students are built different! I just had my final exams and now having a summer break. I'm just cleaning the house and listening to your input which is going to make a huge difference for my future learning process! I usually avoid videos like this because I'm immediately feeling bad and guilty, knowing I'm supposed to study at that moment so now is the perfect time :D
Can I just say that Remnote actually saved me this year in school
This is awesome! I'm so bummed to have only discovered this today. :(
We are still a very young channel as well, but please join us! Definitely check out the rest of the series: bit.ly/MikeandMattyStudy
@@KoiAcademy I've already signed up, subscribed and watched most of your videos. Is it okay to register using my university email? Anyway, more power to you, guys!
@@upsetplatelet wow so grateful to have you in this community. Of course you can use any email, more power to you man 👊🏽
This is great! Thank you bro 🇺🇸
Ive been an honor student for a long time by just pushing it through brute force, but I recently found my work unbearable and too much and I recently found out that im studying the wrong way and im really great full for these videos.
Really though you have saved me a lot
Excellent content, spectacular clarity. Being able to quizz myself 3 times on the one read-through would assume that I was really interested in the topic, fully engaged and had already some familiarity. I am considering jumping into anatomy and phisiology of the blood and lymph systems (as prep for lymph massage) but the domain is totally out of my expertese. I guess it would then be advisable to at least plough through the materials once to create some hooks, some familiarity BEFORE I actually try to learn the stuff. Right? I can't imagine testing myself after one read.
Your videos are useful to implement improvement journalism
Your videos are such a blessing. There are many other videos on this topic but to me they just kinda drag on and don't present the points perfectly. So thank you very much for this.
I have one question. Who is the artist that illustrates in your videos? Love the artstyle
I am so glad I found your channel. You are a legend, my man!
Glad to have you here, and thanks for watching! Definitely check out the rest of the series if you haven’t already :) : bit.ly/MikeandMattyStudy
This should have more viewssss
This is best crux you told bro, I m learning French from 1.5 years you tell me the crux.. thank you. Hope I will succeed in my goal see u bye bye
Thank you so much guys for RemNote. You guys are Heroes of our time!
Best compliment ever haha on our way to becoming an anime 😅
great content, looking forward to viewing more study tactics. I struggle with language learning. After a few years, I actually believe its a mindset problem.
Mindset is definitely a huuge factor in learning. We associate positive emotions better with memory
Helpful tips for preapring for my NCLEX RN. Thanks 🙂
Thank u this was helpful
Thank you!! Medical school is challenging enough without adding how to study...
You got this! 🙌
5:40 Let gary study 7 minutes on sunday and I'm pretty sure he'll do better lmao
I thought that way at first, but nah., Sunday is too crammed. What if it was seven concepts he had to study? Seven concepts in seven minutes, with only a day to test yourself? That’s too less... I think the ideal day would be Saturday, and then he can do self-testing on sunday. Then he would be doing better on Monday.
thank you sir for these amazing strategies they really work and it is very helpful
Wow you guys are super growing and fast! I love it! I need to get my momentum back. Hope you're all still following! Love the video btw! Super informative!
Thanks! It’s just a matter of staying consistent. Yes we are still connected have heard from you in a few months it’s all good that’s life :)
@@KoiAcademy Yes, I am moving to Hawaii so I've been distracted lol but yes you're right! I'm gonna get my ish together. 🤣I'll be back shortly! Thanx for staying!
Thanks guys. When I grow up I wanna be just like you. 🥰
aww so grateful for this 😳
You motivated me a hell lot😭❤
5:10 pokemon reference
Haha good eye ;)
I've subscribed to your Chanel :D. really love your videos. So helpful and informative! I just wished I knew this sooner :). I'm learning another language right now and I don't feel like I've made big progress and it's because I only re-reading and re-write all of my study material. Thank you! :D
Hi! I'm glad I found your video. What you said here makes a lot of sense and I want to try them. I hope you will see and respond to my comment/question. I'm studying for the Bar which is 6 months from now. The Bar where I'm from is is an 8-subject, all-essay exam. What I have been doing, which is different from the usual tips I get for studying (that is mostly heavy memorization, which I am terrible at), is that I see to it that I underasand the concepts and memorize the key words that help me remember them. One of the tips I am told, in terms of strategy for better recall, is to study one subject at a time (which means 1 thick book of say criminal law reviewer) then shift to the next subject when I am done, which, watching your video, seems to me, is totally not mixing/interleaving. I have doubts about this method even before I saw your video so what I have been doing studying all 8 subjects daily (1 hour each) which is xlose to what you say is mixing but closer to what you referred to also as multi-tasking.
I am really weak at memorizing that's why I prefer to study all my 8 subjects on a daiky basis so I won't forget them easily. May I know your thoughts about this. Thanks!
Hi so glad to connect, yes I’m with you on studying the multiple topics way, it can help you relate info between the topics and help you understand/compare/contrast which can be helpful if you test covers all the topics at once. I made a video with more detail here: ua-cam.com/video/SnBEptVeqek/v-deo.html
Good luck and thanks for all you do :)
very well explained 😍
Thank you so much for posting
You got it! How did you find us?
Hey guys, i just wanted to say thank you for the great conten!
science stays in my head its like photometry but for math i need to study for hours
Thank you so much for making remNote free. It helps students like us who don't have any income yet, to use such great applications!
Thank you so much ❤️
Thank you.
Thanks for Mike and Matty，I really like the Remnote！It's so useful to me！How often will the software be charged or subscribed？
Quizing is a big part of my study that helps me to retain info for a long period of time. The more I failed at the questions, the better the overall results were.
Thanks a lot for the great tips!
Definitely even if you get it wrong, you are still learning and will get better and better
what if my classmate also watch this video..??
as my teacher used to say, "i dont care if you are last in class but your marks is 100."
thank you guyyyys for your work!
it helps me so much as I am working toward my master of engineering in Paris.
big bisous, love RemNote ❤️
That’s awesome and thanks so much for watching! P.S. we are viet as well so viet pride from California! :)
@@KoiAcademy really?! I started to wonder when Matty mentioned 'ruot' in a previous video but wasn't sure because we call it 'chà bông' in my family haha
so glad I found my way to your channel
wish you the best for the future :D
Haha we have cousins in France who call it cha bong too! So glad you found us and hope to see you around ;)
Great vid i struggle with how to learn hope u do more vids on this thanks
Many more videos on learning coming, be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss them!
great, thanks!
Hi, thanks for this video! Where can I post a question? I am studying Computer Science and would like ideas how to learn C++ and Digital Systems using the study techniques used here (it's not like I'm looking information that can easily be transfered to a flash card)
1. Вместо повторения одного и того же нужно тестировать себя и задавать себе вопросы. Возможно даже самому писать для себя тесты.
2. Учебные сессии не должны быть длинными (Аля 4 часа подряд), гораздо эффективнее делать перерывы, например 50 работы - 20 минут отдыха, или использовать метод помодоро.
3. Вместо практики уже изученного материала, комбинируй сложность. Если задача достаточно (но не слишком) запутанная, это поможет мозгу увидеть взаимосвязи между концептами, тем самым, значительно улучшить понимание материала.
P.s буду единственным, кто оставил коммент на русском 😎
Love the video's you guys make. I have a question about RemNote and the flashcards. As I see now the only option is to make flashcards of which the second side is hidden. Is there also an option for instance to blur out words from sentences. Or give the answers but then you have to match the question. Or simply type in the answer instead of having to call it out loud (or in my head). Or make a multiple choice answer to a question. Basically more a of quiz kind of way to learn.
Hey thanks for the support! You can make cloze cards (find it in keyboard shortcuts) and you can also make image occlusion cards (simply insert any image you want to study and click on the image to make a card) . You can also make free text cards, but we don’t yet have multiple choice. You can however make multiple line answers, and if you type ::1. You can make a multiple line answer card that reveals each answer in chronological order
Hey Mike! How do I import an outline from microsoft word to where it keeps the bullet heirarchy? This will be a lifesaver for me. Thank you!
I have been using Remnote and I love it so much. Thank you for your amazing apps!
Thanks for your encouragement :)
@@KoiAcademy You are most welcome!
I know this video is old, but I wanted to ask how do you apply these techniques to practical skills like programming or hacking?
Loved this video & this channel! Thank you! I start medical school next Fall & I like to download the powerpoint & hand write notes during class, does RemNote also work for this method?
RemNote doesn’t handle PDF yet but we are currently building it so hopefully soon!
omg I love this channel 😍
hi! did you just find us? Oh I see you found our take no notes video :)
You guys developed remnote??? WOW THATS HONESLTY AMAZINGG! I went through remnote and it was structured perfectly! But i really wish it was available to download on iOS
so glad you love it :) iOS is definitely on the way but is taking little longer than expected
I definitely like remnote but We need it as a full offline software not chrome extension
Haha agreed, the offline version is coming before the years end
@@KoiAcademy I’m excited!!!
Flashcards are a great way to quizz yourself, but i find that making them takes so much time there isn’t any time left to actually go through them. Any advice??
you can ask chat gpt to make them for you from a text and then just copying them on a file and stamp
How to study when you have multiple classes. Tons of information to cover on different topics. How to retain for each class
Do the same method for all classes?
Do you know about VitalSource Bookshelf? I have online lifetime access to Voets' Biochemistry. The phone app can read the text to you, and you can follow along reading. In addition, you can highlight and write notes on your online copy. I think there also might be test questions in a workbook, but I haven't got to use it yet.
Thanks
Gary could study one day before the test and still do well, and the theory that he would forget everything is just valid if the study on the first day btw.
Hey man,you guys r great help my in studying...eager to know where did u complete ur MD residency?
Cheers...lots of power 👍
Can you please make a video about how to make good effective flash cards.
Absolutely! That’s coming down the line ;) thanks for watching our stuff
@@KoiAcademy what a legend 🐑🐑🔥🔥
@@THE_rated_F3 haha are those GOATS?
Hello there, your videos are pretty amazing, Thanks! I have a question though.
how exactly should I recall while self-studying it ,for example:
1) Study for 30-50 minutes and then try to recall OR
2) Study for 2-5 minutes and recall
3) Studying whole day and then recalling
After that while doing spaced repetition as I have not made notes, how to utilize the textbook for spaced repetition ?
In subjects like History and geograohy ?
Thanks again.
Welcome to the channel :) sounds like you might want to check out this video to answer your questions haha ua-cam.com/video/Ie-__POGl8Q/v-deo.html. Are you a student ? Why are you studying?
@@KoiAcademy Haha, The fact of the matter is I had seen the video already.
Yes, I am a student. I am preparing for civil services exam which has subjects like History, Geography, Polity, Economy and the like.
But since I read 120-150 pages of a subject a day. My question is when to do the active recall.
You would say -after finishing a topic.
But here is the thing, if i do this, then I will be able to study only 40-50 pages of a subject like history or Psychology. And that I don't know why but bothers me.
That's the fear which is stopping me from doing active recall.
What would you suggest ?
@@ashishratnawat2711 very nice thanks! Active recall is the most important thing and the more time you can spend on it the better. If you don’t understand the material yet then you obviously have to read, but just read to get the big picture understanding and save the details for when you use active recall
@@KoiAcademy Thank you very much for replying so quickly!
I have another question, is it normal to just know 25-60% of what you read just once ? Specially for a beginner using AR ?
Then, one should fill in the gaps by reading in the same study session, right ?
@@ashishratnawat2711 yea that’s normal, we usually forget >50% of what we learn after the first day so it’s good to review the next day. And gradually you can space it out with spaced repetition
Hi Mike, thank you for the helpful tips. How do you figure out what is important to quiz and if you actually understand the material enough to quiz? If that makes sense. Thanks!
Ways to figure out if it’s important and will be on the test: ask the professor, check the syllabus, ask someone who’s already taken the class, check the chapter objectives (this is what the author thinks is important), check the end of chapter review questions, if you are studying for a standardized test then practice books will tell you. If you can’t teach it to someone else without peeking at your notes, then you might not know it well enough. Hope that helps :)
Thanks, that’s very helpful. Best of luck with residency, I don’t know how you all survive the hours 😂.
When will remnote be available on the iPad?🎉
