If I. Could go back in time given my age. I would have been very humble to have met you. I think you would have been a great help to me now. I'm just looking to try to be as free and memorize as much stuff. As I can to only use for good things. With whatever information I will be able to learn. I am very grateful to have just found you now. Even though I have been to college 3 maybe 4 times my success ratios in those are. We're very much as you described. I went about it the wrong way. By on that. Did not know that learn that from you. Thank you. I will begin to try. It does never too late. To at least make yourself feel free getting some sense of personal growth and development. I wanted to get this over to you. I found the 5 day 1 here. That most earliest video watching other videos of yours. I'm not that old but still when I was in college in my 30s. I wish I would have known you and my 20s actually right out of the gate. Had to do everything on my own.No help, no financial help.Very poor living very very poor at least have a place thank you
Justin you are the best UA-camr in term of learning your processes and systems speak for themselves and why they took 10 years to find/master, and the best thing about your content is that you know what you are saying you provide evidence studies and research paper. Keep posting amazing content ❤✨
1. Encoding - Create integrated schemas of knowledge for mastery which leads to retention - Focus on the cognitive process of learning rather than physical action of ‘studying’ - Use multiple modalities of resources - (1) How does it connect to what I already know? What’s the bigger picture (2) Aim to simplify it - scaffolding (3) Learn in layers - start with what is easiest to you 2. Retrieval - High active effort => better learning - Free > Cued > Recognition - Practice how how you play - Spacing (1 day, 1 week, 1 month) - Flashcards can be limited by lower mastery - can lead to overwhelm, so it’s important to understand integrated concept first
mine is i try to imagine the scenerio with the past knowledge which i have and understand well , i add all senses as possible in the scenerio like if i want to recall the tablets for calcium tablet name is calcigen 500 then i imagine for gaining stronger bone person taking calci gen which is calculator gen ( name of the calculator is calsi and gen is gem ) 500 is just a number this is association to that scenerio i add the everything i want to recall but i try to make a semantic understanding as much as possible
Isn't using this person's curated notes instead of watching and synthesizing your own notes going directly against every single thing taught in this video lmao
My dude, I will be honest. You are goated for spreading this knowledge for free, I have seen other vides but this one like any other absolutely slaps. The world you showed have broadened my horizons, keep going!
Thank the universe for people like you. I always thought I was dumb and would never be capable of higher learning or understanding complicated things. I was never taught how to learn and studied just like everyone else. I went to a special class because I fell too behind in class. I am a slower learner. This has plagued my whole life and I accepted that I'll never achieve things I could only dream of. I accepted that I was intellectually mediocre. But people like you have ignited a small fire in my persistence to learn. Slowly, I'm believing in my own capabilities and figured out how I learned best. Though I'm a slow learner, the further I break things down, and as long as I can connect it to something I already know, this has been a game changer. I never thought I could fall in love with learning. Thank you thank you for people like you.

2:30 You have to accept problems before you can change them. Looking at the past you doesn’t help. Looking at the future you doesn’t help. You’re right here, right now. Look at what you are and who you are *right now*, so that you can change who you are and what you are *right here, right now.* Thanks for the reminder Justin! I’m excited to seek the truth about learning.
Justin please pray for me to achieve my academic goals for this year. Ive been second in my class for the past 2 years since I joined highschool.I thank you for posting these videos for free and we appreciate your effort towards bettee learning.
This is one of your strongest videos. Full of information and amazingly applicable. Sometimes difficult, but I guess that just means that Im learning. Thanks for your amazing content!!
I really admire your work, I am currently a medsudent constantly struggling to find balance in my studies and I've been curious for a long time and have tried various techniques to make studying more efficient yet I fall back to the conventional ways when I fall behind. The most challenging thing is to get through days when you're unable to get the slightest bit of work done due to health or life getting in the way, I hope someday you can make a video to guide us to work through such days. Your videos are a gem I found while everyone I watched tried to glorify the impossible excessive use of anki. Your videos always give a fresh perspective, motivation, and excitement to try the research-based techniques you talk about. I wish to work with you someday.
Hi, Justin. I just wanted to thank you for this video. I'm really enjoying the longer videos (40+minutes), because for me they are better integrated, they connect better A+B+C concepts into a larger framework, rather than teaching A concept in a video, then B in another, then C in another. I know that for the amount of work + how youtube works, shorter videos perform better, but these longer videos have so much value in them that i think are worth it every once in a while. Thank you for your work and thank you for these informations, they are making wonders in my study habits, and since i'm in med school, they'll help me be a better doctor and thus help more people in the future.
This video should be titled " Begginer's guide to learning!" because this video is a very good starting point for people who have just started learning to learn. I want to thank Dr Justin sung for sharing these knowledges with us for free (he is just amazing).
Encoding really explains why I remember certain topics even without retrieval methods, and why I remember absolutely nothing about majority of topics. I can't wait to put that into practice for every topic. Thank you so much ✨
What a great watch. Lately I've been feeling insecure about my study habits and this video popped up at the perfect time. I can't wait to apply all these new insights. Thank you Justin!
1:39:17 at this point, I was about sob. Yes, my mind was willing to shed some tears where I heard that can make mistakes in the terms acheive these learning techniques. Justin, I am so glad to reach out to you could not thank you less cause there not such a guidelines channel or instructors in our country to make sense this fact that 'yes, learning have it's different types of techniques to retain new things.' All we were just ask for is stick on the bench and rereading the same as concept over years (even getting into undergraduate degree) and give a traditional exam. Lucky I enrolled for the webiner of you practice on this last day of month and got the newsletter also. Thank you so so so much for giving us your precious time and energy just pass your valuable thoughts and knowledge.
Justin, I am a pre dental student still in college and your videos are helping me. I never really knew how to study as know one taught me and I didn’t apply strategies I would learn correctly. Slowly but surely I am becoming a better learner after watching you for a week. Thanks so much for these videos
I'd never watched a video this long in one go. I was anticipating a compilated video like this and here it is. It would be a lot helpful one in my journey of learning. Gratitude for you from the bottom of my heart 😄❤
I want to make myself listen and learn from several of your videos before purchasing your program just because I have a habit of buying things, books etc that I never end up using. Today I watched three of your videos; productivity, attention span and this one "how to remember everything you read". All were great but I felt the first two were explained in a way I could begin to apply but this one not so much. I'm an RN preparing to take refresher courses and I too used a mountain of flash cards when I was in school the first time but would really love not to go that route again. I just don't see how I could read a paragraph or chapter without taking copious notes, writing down signs & symptoms, meds, lab values, etc and somehow retain what I've read. I still heard a ton of great info on your channel and will continue to review your videos to determine if I want to purchase your program. I'm very grateful for the information you are providing here for free. Thank You
Been suffering from reading and understanding and it makes me to not want to even try. I just finished writing my semester exams and out of 8 courses and I only got 40 over 100 in 3 courses which means i made below 40 mark in the rest 5. I feel lazy to read and I have come to conclusion in my mind that i am dull and can't read and understand. I just came across your videos and i pray that i will be able to enjoy reading again and also understand and comprehend while reading. Thanks for the video.
Justin, thank you for such profound insights into the dimensions of learning. I highly endorse this for learners at all levels, from primary education to university, indeed as a valuable resource for intellectual growth...
I have been watching your videos and have found it extremely helpful to the limitations the school system as well as myself have with learning. I’m only a freshmen but I have found the videos very eye opening. Thank you for your effort and advice.
Wow, incredible pieces of knowledge that I wish institutions were teaching from day 1! I stumbled upon this video of yours, watched at 1 go, subscribed and I'm thirsty for more!!! Thank you so much - my motivation just sky rocketed with just the idea of rewiring my brain 🙂
This was legendary, btw. As feedback, I like this format more. I know you have a course and all, but I feel your channel has a decent amount of "detail level" stuff. These larger and more broad format videos provide structure to anchor the other stuff to (or to understand where the other stuff fits, how to break it apart into this, etc. Rambling. It's nice having a more direct lecture on what the backbone looks like and some of the more critical concepts, since, as you know, people seem to focus on details first.
@caseywilder3948 Yeah, this has to be the second video that I've watched of this channel and genuinely felt like it was teaching me rather than simple advice. I really like the context given behind the concepts that he's teaching, how it all relates to each other, and building from there. I'm going to be honest, I can't recall the details of the video (had watched up to 1:12:44 and over a course of two days excluding this one during my lesure time) and that's an area for me to improve and put into practice what he mentioned about spaced repetition and learning debt.
Wowww Justin Bro 👌. Huge thanks once again for all your help and share to study community 🙏 Blown away by all details and techniques all in one place ❤. You are the best study instructor in world 🙏
Hello Justin! You make great videos for free and we all appreciate your hardwork you put I this channel every week! You make very top quality videos and I love them, but for me personally, I find it quite overwhelming to exercise these methods you tell us and to actually put them in action. I wrote this comment on this video because it was the latest😅. I also saw your study with me video and it was soo helpful! But I wanted to ask, how can a person engrossed in the field of mathematics or physics active the same level of understanding and excel in the subject? Because I'm pretty sure they have a different level of thinking and are ment to be applied and practice rather than remembering the formulas for an example. Thank you very much for helping us!! That's all!
Effort with the right methods and techniques will yield high results. However, effort with the wrong methods will lead to worse academic outcomes. Essentially, you need more than just effort to achieve the efficient learning
Dr. Justin Sun, a former medical doctor and learning coach, discusses how to remember everything you read and learn in the video titled "An Evidence Based Guide to Remember Everything You Read". He shares his insights on learning science and provides practical tips for improving learning efficiency. Dr. Sun emphasizes the importance of integrated learning, which involves connecting new information with existing knowledge and applying it in different contexts. He also highlights the role of active recall and spaced repetition in strengthening memory and promoting deeper understanding. Additionally, Dr. Sun discusses the importance of mindset and the willingness to make mistakes in the learning process. He encourages viewers to experiment with different learning techniques and find what works best for them. Dr. Sun concludes by inviting viewers to join his online learning program, I Can Study, for further guidance and support in their learning journey.
Hey Justin! We want a study with me session where you study from a real textbook realtime. I've seen you studying VCR accounting on UA-cam videos but that was from notes which is very easy in comparison to studying from a textbook. The Textbook video will be of great help, especially close to the time of exams(Right now), so Please do. Especially medical textbooks have infinite amount of content and it seems impossible where to start and where to end, even a single chapter from the textbook is scary!
I have been on the program so i kind of know what to generally expect from your youtube videos but i am really interested to know what i will get to learn new in this video
Hi Mr. Sung! I really appreciate the sheer value that you are providing to all of us! I just want to quickly clear something up though. When I go through this trial-and-error process with my learning system (both encoding and retrieval), how can I know that I have made a mistake? Is it just through testing myself at the knowledge levels that I am attempting to encode at? Is it through the retrieval that I notice that mistakes have been made? In what form would that kind of feedback come? I@d love to hear what you think about that! Of course, if not then there is absolutely nothing to worry about! Have a great day, Sir!
Understand the concepts, understand the relationship between the concepts, synthesize the content as if you had to teach it to a 10 year old, write down a highly schematic outline, or summary, or mind map, or brain dump, or table with all the details that you need to remember based on your synthesis, practice active recall by writing it out over and over from memory without being cued. Maybe one of these per chapter of your book hehe.
Insights 1. Effort as a Signal of Effective Learning: The mental effort required during active recall should not be seen as a weakness; rather, it indicates that your brain is actively engaging and forming robust, integrated schemas. 2. Integration Over Isolation: When information is interconnected, it not only improves memory retention but also enhances the ability to apply knowledge in real-world or complex problem-solving situations. 3. Flexibility is Crucial: Rather than locking oneself into a single “learning style,” adopting a flexible, growth-oriented approach that incorporates multiple modalities can yield superior results. 4. Practice How You Play: The idea that practice should closely mirror the way you will ultimately use the information (e.g. applying theoretical knowledge to coding or essay writing) is critical for bridging the gap between knowing and doing. 5. The Role of Mistakes:Embracing errors as part of the learning process-rather than avoiding them-can accelerate improvement. The willingness to experiment and adjust based on feedback is a hallmark of highly effective learners.

my adhd thanks you
thanks cuh
mine is i try to imagine the scenerio with the past knowledge which i have and understand well , i add all senses as possible in the scenerio like
if i want to recall the tablets for calcium tablet name is calcigen 500 then i imagine for gaining stronger bone person taking calci gen which is calculator gen ( name of the calculator is calsi and gen is gem ) 500 is just a number this is association
to that scenerio i add the everything i want to recall but i try to make a semantic understanding as much as possible
Isn't using this person's curated notes instead of watching and synthesizing your own notes going directly against every single thing taught in this video lmao
Justin, it is extremely generous to give anyone your time/knowledge free.
Exactly!
This guy always amazes me😇
Thank you so much for the kind words :)
My dude, I will be honest. You are goated for spreading this knowledge for free, I have seen other vides but this one like any other absolutely slaps. The world you showed have broadened my horizons, keep going!
Really appreciate the kind words! All the best for 2025

Im a little confused though, how does mindmaps fit into this
Love from India..... respect and love for you Justin Sir❤
Your videos are really helpful
Timing is insane!
I needed this, thanks Justin!
You always come up with unique dimensions of learning!
Encoding really explains why I remember certain topics even without retrieval methods, and why I remember absolutely nothing about majority of topics. I can't wait to put that into practice for every topic.
Thank you so much ✨
Could you explain how you start with encoding. I mean to say what your thinking process is while staring at any new subject
What a great watch. Lately I've been feeling insecure about my study habits and this video popped up at the perfect time. I can't wait to apply all these new insights. Thank you Justin!

Going into my master this year in DSP Computer Engineering, these tips are amazing!!!
When you started your first year as a computer engineering student, did you have prior experience?
Omg such an amazing guide... it shows me many things to improve that i am struggling with. Thanks Dr. Justin
Thanks! All the best with your learning
This might be your best video yet in terms of depth of knowledge and practical advice.

I just came across your videos and i pray that i will be able to enjoy reading again and also understand and comprehend while reading. Thanks for the video.
The best learning-to-learn coach.
Justin, thank you for such profound insights into the dimensions of learning. I highly endorse this for learners at all levels, from primary education to university, indeed as a valuable resource for intellectual growth...
Great starting video to the year... Thansk for your efforts.
Thank you Dr Justin Sung, for the time and effort you put into your videos. Your videos have been a massive eye-opener.
I have been watching your videos and have found it extremely helpful to the limitations the school system as well as myself have with learning. I’m only a freshmen but I have found the videos very eye opening. Thank you for your effort and advice.
Do you consider publishing a book that brings all your pieces of advice together ?
He offers a course.
Thank you for everything that you have shared during these years.
Thank you! All the best with your learning
THANK YOU!!!! I LOVE EVERYTHING YOU DO AND THIS IS GREAT!!!! HIS COURSE IS REALLY GOOD TOO BTW
Appreciate it, glad you’re enjoying it!
The Misinterpreted Effort Hypothesis is the most crucial point to be discussed and thanks for that sir.
Im a musician nd i learn new music that i need to memorize..thanks for this video
Good luck!
Wow, incredible pieces of knowledge that I wish institutions were teaching from day 1!
I stumbled upon this video of yours, watched at 1 go, subscribed and I'm thirsty for more!!!
Thank you so much - my motivation just sky rocketed with just the idea of rewiring my brain 🙂
Love you so dr Justin
Thanks for free education and I believe God will reward you
You are an amazing human being ❤ it takes a lot of effort to study research papers and make conclusions based on them
You videos are addictive✨. More power to you🙌
This was legendary, btw.
As feedback, I like this format more.
I know you have a course and all, but I feel your channel has a decent amount of "detail level" stuff. These larger and more broad format videos provide structure to anchor the other stuff to (or to understand where the other stuff fits, how to break it apart into this, etc. Rambling.
It's nice having a more direct lecture on what the backbone looks like and some of the more critical concepts, since, as you know, people seem to focus on details first.
Thank you for your feedback! Appreciate it :)
@caseywilder3948 Yeah, this has to be the second video that I've watched of this channel and genuinely felt like it was teaching me rather than simple advice. I really like the context given behind the concepts that he's teaching, how it all relates to each other, and building from there.
I'm going to be honest, I can't recall the details of the video (had watched up to 1:12:44 and over a course of two days excluding this one during my lesure time) and that's an area for me to improve and put into practice what he mentioned about spaced repetition and learning debt.
This is very fruitful... Now, it is time that education system should teach the students How to learn first rather than What to learn!!!!
I would really like a video about your method of reading articles, keeping your knowledge up to date, saving them for later (if you do that?), etc.
Great video, thank you!!
Thanks for the very in depth video. The schema very much resonates intuitively and logically.
Glad to hear it - all the best!
Thanks a lot 😮🎉
Wowww Justin Bro 👌. Huge thanks once again for all your help and share to study community 🙏
Blown away by all details and techniques all in one place ❤.
You are the best study instructor in world 🙏
Hi Dr. Justin I love your videos and hope you are doing many more. Can you please make a video about encoding?
Thank you big brother.
Hello Justin! You make great videos for free and we all appreciate your hardwork you put I this channel every week! You make very top quality videos and I love them, but for me personally, I find it quite overwhelming to exercise these methods you tell us and to actually put them in action. I wrote this comment on this video because it was the latest😅. I also saw your study with me video and it was soo helpful! But I wanted to ask, how can a person engrossed in the field of mathematics or physics active the same level of understanding and excel in the subject? Because I'm pretty sure they have a different level of thinking and are ment to be applied and practice rather than remembering the formulas for an example. Thank you very much for helping us!! That's all!
Sorry if I wrote too long 😅
Thank you
Amazing summary Justin. Thank you.
Thank you sir
Justin . Excellent job. Thank you
thank u for your help
great! thanks a lot
Reading things over is way more effort full than mindmapping thinking about the concept and linking info up so more effort not always more effective.
Effort with the right methods and techniques will yield high results. However, effort with the wrong methods will lead to worse academic outcomes. Essentially, you need more than just effort to achieve the efficient learning
Really great videos, I hope everyone makes use of it
Dr. Justin Sun, a former medical doctor and learning coach, discusses how to remember everything you read and learn in the video titled "An Evidence Based Guide to Remember Everything You Read". He shares his insights on learning science and provides practical tips for improving learning efficiency. Dr. Sun emphasizes the importance of integrated learning, which involves connecting new information with existing knowledge and applying it in different contexts. He also highlights the role of active recall and spaced repetition in strengthening memory and promoting deeper understanding. Additionally, Dr. Sun discusses the importance of mindset and the willingness to make mistakes in the learning process. He encourages viewers to experiment with different learning techniques and find what works best for them. Dr. Sun concludes by inviting viewers to join his online learning program, I Can Study, for further guidance and support in their learning journey.
which ai?
THANKS JUSTIN!
Hey Justin! We want a study with me session where you study from a real textbook realtime. I've seen you studying VCR accounting on UA-cam videos but that was from notes which is very easy in comparison to studying from a textbook. The Textbook video will be of great help, especially close to the time of exams(Right now), so Please do. Especially medical textbooks have infinite amount of content and it seems impossible where to start and where to end, even a single chapter from the textbook is scary!
Thank you Mr. Justin🥹
I have been on the program so i kind of know what to generally expect from your youtube videos but i am really interested to know what i will get to learn new in this video
This is a great video. Can you do a video on language learning, the best process to learn a language effectively and be able to use it?
You are gonna go down in the youtube hall of fame. Top 2 and not 2
Hey. Thank you so much for the value.
Please could you talk about how to go about turning mistakes to learning and then priming and encoding.
This should be watched by millions of students.
Beautiful!
The techniques taught in the video should be applied to the video itself lol
Hi Mr. Sung! I really appreciate the sheer value that you are providing to all of us! I just want to quickly clear something up though. When I go through this trial-and-error process with my learning system (both encoding and retrieval), how can I know that I have made a mistake? Is it just through testing myself at the knowledge levels that I am attempting to encode at? Is it through the retrieval that I notice that mistakes have been made? In what form would that kind of feedback come? I@d love to hear what you think about that! Of course, if not then there is absolutely nothing to worry about! Have a great day, Sir!
Thanks for amazing content.
The sound quality is really good.
great efforts 👏👏👏
Best Sensei
As a high school, Student This is GREATLY appreciated
thank you soo much your efforts are appreciated
All the best with your learning!
Thanks for your amazing tips and knowledge❤
Are drawing notes effective?
thank you, justin!!
I never realized you could express so little with so many words
Don’t worry. Keep on learning. Slowly.
1:36:10 this is so true for me since i just discover this channel this lately
Keep going Mr. Justin, this type of long videos (trend) very helpful!
Glad you find it helpful :) Wish you all the best with your learning
I am waiting for your videos. Tqsm ❤
I love this type of videos
Thank you! More longer videos coming your way
Obrigado pelo video !
1:39:49 yes! Why not making a video concerning self-regulation ? something like this is really beneficial
Understand the concepts, understand the relationship between the concepts, synthesize the content as if you had to teach it to a 10 year old, write down a highly schematic outline, or summary, or mind map, or brain dump, or table with all the details that you need to remember based on your synthesis, practice active recall by writing it out over and over from memory without being cued. Maybe one of these per chapter of your book hehe.
I think this video of Justin's is quite the banger!!!!
Thanks to this video, I am now certain that it isn't IF I will ever join, but rather an eventuality of WHEN
Ahah thank you! Glad you found it helpful
can you give me some pointers for oral exam,as a medical student bcs i am really struggling with it.btw
justin love your videos
Insights
1. Effort as a Signal of Effective Learning: The mental effort required during active recall should not be seen as a weakness; rather, it indicates that your brain is actively engaging and forming robust, integrated schemas.
2. Integration Over Isolation: When information is interconnected, it not only improves memory retention but also enhances the ability to apply knowledge in real-world or complex problem-solving situations.
3. Flexibility is Crucial: Rather than locking oneself into a single “learning style,” adopting a flexible, growth-oriented approach that incorporates multiple modalities can yield superior results.
4. Practice How You Play: The idea that practice should closely mirror the way you will ultimately use the information (e.g. applying theoretical knowledge to coding or essay writing) is critical for bridging the gap between knowing and doing.
5. The Role of Mistakes:Embracing errors as part of the learning process-rather than avoiding them-can accelerate improvement. The willingness to experiment and adjust based on feedback is a hallmark of highly effective learners.
Please do a video on how to read anatomy
I love your ideas and techniques which are good for mostly science students but how about for the law students if they tried to follow your advice?
Keep going 🙏
Whoa such a treat!
Hope you enjoy :)
Can you make some videos specific to subject like physics at university level? It would be really helpful for many
i hope someday u make a book about lean to learn
