Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you had to absorb six weeks' worth of material in just six hours? If so, you probably know that relying solely on practice papers is not a feasible approach to ensure you're adequately prepared.
Through our experience coaching thousands of students, we've discovered that practice papers are often used in an ineffective manner. While they are designed to help you cover a wide range of topics, there comes a point where this method becomes insufficient due to the sheer volume of material.
We emphasize a crucial point with all our students: prioritizing quality over quantity in your learning process. It's far more advantageous to learn a subject properly and effectively the first time, rather than relying on a high volume of practice papers or mindless repetition.
By adopting our approach, which involves Seeking, Reflecting, and Exploring, you can efficiently grasp the content of your initial encounter with it.
Are you ready? Let’s get into it!

Really liked how you used the Archimedes principle thingy as a well-detailed example. It reminds me of how when I was studying calculus, they gave me dosens of examples with lacking in-depth explanation in uni. Then I got a private tutoring lesson for like 10-20 bucks and the mathmagician lady made me understand integral equations by getting me to solve a single one with a flower, drawn instead of scary numbers and letters after the ingegral. 30 minutes of focused, in-depth work was worth more than a semester of brute force.
How is this channel just so much beneficial? And so underrated I feel sad for those who don't get here and keep re reading notes.
Hey @midnight4677 , thanks for your comments here! We know there are many students who are stuck using inefficient learning methods. Be sure to share these videos with friends and family that may need to hear this advice!
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
02:23 🎯 *Three-Step Model: Seek, Reflect, Explore*
- To enhance learning, follow a three-step model: Seek challenging questions, Reflect on mistakes with precision, and Explore different testing angles.
05:25 🤔 *Reflecting on Mistakes*
- Reflect on mistakes by considering the What (specifically identify the mistake), Why (understand the thought process behind the mistake), and How (determine actionable steps to correct the mistake).
10:55 🚀 *Explore Different Testing Angles*
- Create your own challenging questions through interleaving to explore different testing angles, reducing reliance on time-consuming practice papers.
13:03 ⚖️ *Balance of Practice Papers*
- Practice papers are a final supplement to studying; use challenging questions and interleaving to identify knowledge gaps first, then use practice papers to improve exam-taking skills.
14:21 🧠 *Efficiency and Effectiveness over Blind Brute Force*
- Prioritize efficiency and effectiveness in learning over blind repetition; prepare deliberately by sharpening your approach, not just by doing countless practice papers.

no wonder powering through several past papers didn't get me better grades, it was quite time consuming too. But thanks to this video, i can now clearly see where the problems in my preparation lie and work on them with the seek, reflect and explore techniques. 💯
all the best for future studies!
At university though, the past papers are usually very indicative of the actual exam. School exams less so.
I am liking these detailed videos soo much better....I love the examples you give
hope to see you again next week!
I'm here after my orthopedics exam that I studied all past papers there was and nothing was repeated. I've failed that exam I know it.
If you have an exam and don't know anything. How do you seek knowledge gaps? If we get rid of practice papers. How do you know what you need to know and what you need to solve if you are presented with a list of concepts (exam review sheets). When you find what you need to know how do you strategize to study for the exam. Can you provide more specific real life scenario examples.
you guys are so underrated!!!!!!
thank you so much! we really appreciate hearing comments like yours
Your capability for explaining is beyond sublime. Thanks a lot and I know that you have to make money with your courses, but please, for the undeveloped world with no strong currency this videos are gold, please keep doing them.
Another GOLD content! Lezzgooo♥️ thankss ICS team!
another gold comment! thanks for watching
Thank you so much, so helpful now that I`m on exam season 💖💖
good luck for your exams!
I am starting to spend more time on my preparation and "APPROACH" to learning. Solid point. 14:30
we hope your preparation goes well!
This is legitimately good, rlly one of the best study videos I’ve watched
Perfect timing for me to apply this technique in my exam preparations
Attendance ✌🏼
This is really great! Thank you!
Perfect timing my exams r in two weeks
perfect timing for sure!
Tomorrow is my maths exam and I'm watching this
Wish you good luck and high scores
@@menuamartirosyan6713 thank you so much!
How did it go?
@@godfred8618 not good 😔🥺😕 the questions which I skipped or didn't understand came and I had no idea what to do plus the paper was too long 😭 I hope I pass...my hands were shaking while writing
@@enchanted_whispersGo easy on yourself! It's alright, it's happened now, not trying to invalidate you feeling sad about it. But try to look at it more objectively and don't let this dishearten you! There is always a next time and if you do have an exam next, focus on that! You got this! ❤ Stay Hard!!!
Keep it up so that I may grow with u
we will! see you next week

Woow... Great advices... thank you so much ❤
This video is really useful for a uni student like me! I was panicking because my course hardly provides practice papers (im a business student) and most of the time, the papers' contents are outdated since our syllbus has been through many constant changes.
I had always been taught that i can only do well by spamming practice papers and I got scared since i literally have no papers now but because if your video， ive learnt that what ive been taught is not necessarily true.
I'm more confident in studying and acing my upcominf exams in 3 weeks now. Liked and subscribed :>
how is this even possible 😳??
6:20 The question is wrong: how can the rubber ball (8g/cm³) be more dense than water (1g/cm³)? Rubber is less dense than water irl. If we go by real life situation, ball B (metal ball) will displace more water than ball A (rubber ball) because metal sinks in water (all metals except Li, Na & K are denser than water).
7:09 So, material type does impact the answer. You should compare volumes only when both the materials are denser than water.
Basic Principle: Volume of displaced water = Volume of object SUBMERGED in water. Rubber partially submerges in water while almost all metals completely submerges in water. But ruber is denser than water according to the question.
I thought same bro, but the question clearly says
"when you totally submerge both balls"
@@manassehnhyirabaeshun928My point is that material type does affect the answer. At @7:07 he says material type is not relevant. Also, even if you fully submerge the rubber ball, it doesn't stay submerged. Even with respect to Archimedes principle, density of substance plays a crucial role (and density is inherent dependent on material type).
@@Krish-10its a bit tedious to say that the rubber ball is held down by a stick with a negligible volume
I was also hung up about the formatting. I thought the follow up example 10:00 which isnt really formatted as a question and leaves out key details to be able to answer. Luckily despite these error they still present the learning idea really well.
Nice filled out all high order learning necessities of blooms taxonomy
thank you for noticing!
your videos are really nice and valuable , thanks for sharing these knowledge .
thank you heaps for your kind comment
Can you go into more detail about thinking complicated questions?
I'm thinking of super compicated questions that cover 2-3 topics simultaneous, that are way harder than i expect on the exam.
How hard should I make the questions?
imo, it seems like the best way should be focusing on developing your own higher order questions to understand the relationships between concepts in the same topic and in other topics , how are they related, what features about these concepts link them together? Why is one concept important to another concept?
Hey @turtlesagemode, thanks for the question, what @bear5782 has mentioned here is spot on! You want to be making the questions so they allow you to understand the content better. In fact, the harder the question, the better it usually is.
The extent to which you should make the question difficult depends on your curriculum. For example, you may not need to derive a certain rule or equation if learning the derivation goes way beyond your learning needs.
jus subbed. incredible content with clarity and new methods
Welcome aboard!
wow. this was exactly what was missing for me. very clear explanations.
Solid advice with clear explanations.
Great videos, keep posting!!
Thanks. :)
thank you!
I recently learned about high order learning should I apply it when learning new things or should I relearn things that I already studied?
Tysm ❤❤
thanks for watching :)
@@icanstudystudent my pleasure ✨
What is your opinion on solving complex question papers and analyzing where your knowledge gaps are with them?
Absolute Gold Advice 🎉
thanks heaps! we are glad that you find our advice valuable
Good video but I don't like the clickbait..
Still need to do past paper for filling gaps , how can we use chat gpt to filling gaps ?
13:09 then what my basis should be ?
Hey @Nothingmatters2 thanks for the question. As Archer mentions RIGHT after this timestamp, your basis should be challenging questions and other interleaving methods. Be sure to download the worksheets if you need more guidance around what these techniques are.
Another BOMB video!!
another BOMB comment!
This is really helpful. Thank you. :)
thanks for watching
this is so underated!
3:06
That was really very helpful of you
But my question is how to avoid these'KNOWLEDGE GAPS' in the first place
To always related information to one another, either their similiarities or differences (basically know the logic behind the concepts). Avoid relying on memorization (there is use to this but be selective). Hope it helps.
What do you think about effectively reading? How we can improve impact from books, but don't waste time so more?
Hey @rabotodatelrerih8933 thanks for the question. For effective reading, this would relate to effective note-taking and making sure you have an active way of learning the information.
Take a watch of this video for some more insight! ua-cam.com/video/V6MXP0NK9hA/v-deo.html
I really love this video.
5:48 any exemple of subpar reflection so we can avoid them?
do we have to do it for all wrong questions and can we do it mentally?
When I'm answering the what and why , they are kind of similar
Hey @darthom, a subpar reflection is simply one that does not take any effort into diving into why certain mistakes are made. Usually, if a student claims it was just a silly mistake or that they were just tired, these students ignore the other potential root causes.
When you first start off, you should write it down. Once you have gained more competency around these techniques, you will naturally think in this reflective approach for any mistake you make.
When answering the what, why and how, they are not similar. In "WHAT", you identify the mistake, in "WHY" you explore the cause of the mistake, in "HOW" you think of approaches to avoid the mistake.
How can i use this teqnuiqe and not ask my self easy question on exploring?or how i know by my question i know that I'm covering my blindspots! This's why I'm thinking that practice tests better because it can give you a very good questions!
I wish you can answer me how to use this teqnuiqe in correct why!
Thanks, You're knowledge very helpful for us.
Hey @emadsh4199, thanks for the question here!
To make sure you are using the challenging questions technique correctly, all you need to do is...challenge yourself! You need to make questions you do NOT know the answer to and you need to aim to integrate multiple concepts in the challenge question. This helps you increase your knowledge mastery.
To test your knowledge retention and finding gaps, you need to do some basic teaching or some practice questions and identify which concepts you struggle with the most.
@@icanstudystudent this's was very helpful thank you so much.
Thankyou😀
Vídeo incrível ! 🇧🇷
great video
First?
