You seriously make good and legitimate content, I really appreciate your tips and I'll probably use it in the future even if my grades are already enough to make me the top of my class :)
Hey! I absolutely LOVE your channel! It’s provided such immense motivation considering I’ve been feeling a little down going into the second year of the IB! Would you consider sharing your Anki decks with your viewers? Those would be priceless resources that we’d be so grateful for! Of course it’s alright if you’re not comfortable with doing so Xx all the best w everything :)
Hey! I'm so glad I managed to reach you in this way! That is definitely a possibility, however my anki decks are very personalised for me, and the way I think and do questions, so they often aren't totally suitable for everyone. However, if I get more requests for this I would be willing to maybe give them a touch up and fill in some areas which are a bit sparse(topics which I didn't feel I needed them) and possibly make these available. All the best and good luck with year 2 of the IB!
Thanks for the structure! Before I was just concentrating on practicing and memorizing. I'm trying to use as many techniques from this video as possible for my upcoming Maths-Informatics exam :)
Nice viedo! For a new UA-camr your editing is sick. I was just wondering, did you memorise every past paper and mark scheme for biology and chemistry? Like either memorise the mark schemes of every topic first (for topic tests) then eventually memorise the entire lot?
Thanks! I'm still very much a beginner tho so it's very far from perfect. Noooo, I definitely didn't do that, there would be little point to memorising mark schemes. Instead, I analysed how the markschemes attribute marks to different types of questions within topics, so that I understand the rationale examiners use to make the markschemes. Then, when doing a test/exam, I knew how the markscheme worked so I could get the most points out of each question. That's what I mean by "learn the markscheme" Memorising particular markschemes and particular questions is way too time inefficient, I would not recommend that.
@@synced8014 he is saying that marks get attributed in a question for saying / mentioning different things. So essentially he'll look at the question then look at how the question is marked and where each mark comes from. After that, he will have a rough idea when answering certain types of questions what terms to mentiom to get marks for a question.
In the understanding part, how do you keep track of what you understand? It takes me a lot longer to understand it usually since I make revision cards (making flashcards immediately can make me lose my trail of thought, this usually means i don't end up making flashcards). I also tend to go into a lot of detail into each point, to try understand this but this is very time cosuming.What do you recommend for these 2 things?Also should we do exam questions as we are trying to learn and what websites do you recommend for questions? I would really appreciate an answer :)
I think the best way to keep track of what you understand is to test yourself. When learning something, try to explain it out loud without looking at your notes. Imagine you need to explain the concept to someone that knows nothing about the subject. If you are able to do this, then you understand the concept, if not, you don't. You might also be trying to do too much at once. Break large ideas down into single concepts, make sure you understand the individual concepts, and then maybe make a mindmap or something that ties these all together. I hope this helps, let me know if you have any more questions!
thank you... I just wanted to give u an advice... the music is too loud, I love more what you say than the music! thank you for all your content , you're great and so so so cute 😛😍😍😍
You can use these techniques, I would recommend taking things topic by topics, and going through the whole study framework for each topic as if you were studying for an individual topic test. Then, do full past papers and do the practice and reflect stages using the full papers. I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
Bro thank you soo much you made my life hell lot of easier🙌🙌, I have one question I have all worse HL, Maths AA HL, Chemistry HL and Physics HL the thing is I need someone to sit wimme and force me to study,also I get distracted very easily. I can't study without having someone monitoring me, what should I do to focus on my studies and try giving all I could??
Study with people!!! That is the best way to do it. I have learnt that it is super hard to stay motivated with long hours at university, and the only way to do it is to go to libraries or to study with peers, forcing me to stay on top of the work.
Thanks for the video, I wanted to ask you about Anki, when do you make the flashcards, like for example if one day I want to study 10 pages of content, should I first read, understand, practice through active recall and then create the flashcards or not even try to memorize and directly create flashcards while reading for the first time the material
Right, I now normally make the flashcards when I am watching lectures(for uni) literally as a form of note taking. I do this by putting questions into notion and then just converting everything into cards. You can do it both ways. You can try to create the flashcards upon first contact, and then use them when doing the memorising stage. What this would mean is you take a long time in the understanding phase, where you try to learn the concepts and make the cards simultaneously. This is what I have been doing for the last few months at uni and it has been working for me. You can also just try to understand things first, then go through everything again and make a deck of cards on the second round. Either way, as long as you actually practice the cards, which is where the magic of active recall happens, you should be fine. Trying to memorise comes from practicing these cards, and it can be extremely efficient. You can totally memorise a block of 10 pages worth of content in 2 hours with anki. I would then suggest for you to practice with questions or essays(however you are gonna be examined) after having memorised stuff using anki. Hope this helps!
This revision technique works really well, before I got c’s in biology, I have a technique quite similar to this, and my last 2 tests I got A’s
What's your technique
Thanks! Well done!!!
this is underrated. you’re great!
Thank you so much!

Thank you! more will come shortly!
Rlly happy I found your channel, u have legitimate study tips

Active recaaaall 😍😍😍✨
Ahahahaha yeh, it is the holy grail of studying.
This is the technique i use love this! 🤭💖🤩
I'm glad you agree with me! Is there anything else you added to it? It would be good to know if there are any improvements to the technique!
Nice vid bro! Instantly subscribed!
Appreciate it!

@@MarkosDrakos Sorry but I'm confused as to what you mean by attributing marks. Like learn the key words in the question or....?
Thanks!

Hiiii! I loved ur video! Really helpful, so you think you can give some tips for studying for math please?
You explained active recall in the best appropriate way that l was searching thanks alot 👍
Happy to help!

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind for future videos!
when do you start studying before an upcoming exam?
Lower volume of music. Too high compared to your voice. Overall, good advice.
Thanks for the tip!
Can I use these techniques in larger exams as well? Do you have any tips on that? Btw I loved the video!

Try focused meditation, pomodoro techniques

@@MarkosDrakos Great, thank you so much!
Your content may be good but that background music is totally unnecessary and annoying. Who talks to music. UA-camrs need to rethink this
Huh, thanks for the input! I'll keep that in mind for the next video, maybe try it out without music and see how I like it.
@@MarkosDrakos nooo I loved the music it was very relaxing it matched perfectly ❤️🎶
Uhhmm you’re cute 👉🏻👈🏻
