      ​@@BeSmarterFaster Your video just popped off in my youtube feed, and so I decided to watch it, and frankly, I did not regret doing so, A book was near me while I was watching your video, I grabbed it and tried to apply your technique, I suprisingly felt aware of the material I'm reading than I use to do before! This is so amazing, I feel like a capable person again, thank you for this awesome video, now I'm looking forward to read books and materials that I have neglected over the years because I always thought that they are boring, but now I have a completely new mindset on how to approach them.
      Thank you professor.
      I see in the comments that you reply on and like others comments, which means that you are indeed a one of a kind in these dark world whereby everyone is busy with themelves rather than helping and reaching out to others who are stuck.

    I do something similar to this in med school,
    1. I read through all the chapter sub headings & draw a map on how they link
    2. I try to understand the entire chapter (not memorize, just focused on understanding)
    3. I start taking notes on the important points & at this point I've already memorized the entire chapter

    Summary guys:
    1. Flip through the pages
    a. How long is the chapter
    b. How many words are there compared to images
    c. Does anything jump out at you? Graphs, images, tables etc.
    2. Go to the end of the chapter
    a. Did they give you any sort of a quiz?
    b. Quiz will give the important information that should be gained from the chapter
    3. Go to the beginning of the chapter
    a. Read the bold print
    b. Titles, subtitles, headings: Break down of information
    4. Go to the beginning one more time
    a. First and last sentence in each paragraph
    b. First sentence is the introduction
    . The last sentence of the paragraph helps you sum it up
    5. Now you have got the preview
    a. Start reading the chapter and make your notes on it

    00:20 📚 Don't read a textbook like a novel. Start by previewing the chapter.
    02:20 📖 Read the quiz questions at the end first. This highlights what's important in the chapter.
    03:19 📌 Focus on bold print, titles, subtitles, and topic headings for an overview.
    04:51 📝 Read the first and last sentences of each paragraph for exposure, not comprehension.
    06:08 🔄 This method is more effective than cramming for retention. Repetition aids learning.

    Finally a to-the-point tutorial. Most of these kind of videos just ramble on about “getting into the correct learning mindset” and “stop stressing out about it”. This actually has specific instructions I can do immediately. For anyone in doubt - I tried this method it works impeccably. All textbooks are different so adapt the style as fit, but I assure you that this is fail-safe.

    A quick summary for those who want it:
    - Flip through each page: Overview on what is coming.
    - Look at the End-Quiz: You know what you look for.
    - Read the bold print: Information has been broken down for you.
    - Read the first and last sentence in a paragraph: The first sentence is an introduction & the last a conclusion.
    This method takes more time than just reading the chapter in one go, but it is way more effective.
    And remember: REPETITION IS THE MOTHER OF LEARNING.

    2. Read *Questions* at end of chapter _(Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon)_
    3. Read *Bold Words* in the chapter _(Titles, subtitles, Topic-Headings. Get a better understanding of the structure)_
    4. Read *First and Last Sentence* of each paragraph _(First sentence gives an indication on what the rest of the paragraph is about, the last sentence sums up the important information)_

      ‘wasting time’ - I don’t like how you use that term against great technological resources. It really is sad how the education system is formed. It’s horrible. You act like a boring old textbook is the only thing you can use. Well, it might be the case anyway for you, likely. The System just doesn’t hold up to our future standards anymore. College is a repetitive career mongering indoctrination camp, and everyone says that it is the only way to get a good-paying career. Also, Although people say you need money to live, something our Education System doesn’t take into effect is a Work/Life balance. We’ve all been told to get a good paying job; but not one that will make us happy. You need to realize this.

    I just wanted to let you know that this video changed my life. I have never been able to focus on or understand readings before and I never knew how to study. I would just mindlessly read and re-read things without understanding them and while constantly zoning out because I didn’t understand what I was reading anyways. I didn’t understand how everyone else seemed to be getting it and learning so much while I fell further and further behind. Although it’s probably too late for my academic career, I just tried reading a textbook to a subject I’ve always wanted to understand but have never been able to no matter how hard I tried to read through the textbooks. After watching this video, I wrote down the method and tried it, and it’s incredible. I actually got lost in the textbook, fully absorbed in the information, without the rising sense of dread, panic, and mind-numbingness that usually accompanies it. I spent about two hours reading and taking notes, and I actually finished and fucking understand Chapter 1. I honestly can’t believe it worked, and how fun it was to truly learn something. This is such a simple skill, that is going to aide me so much in every area of my life going forwards. Because of you, now I know how to learn.
    Thank you.

    After my first week of uni and not understanding the textbooks I had to read I have been watching videos such as this and here's is what I've learned so far:
    HOW TO READ / STUDY TEXTBOOKS
    Step 1: Flip through the entire chapter, to get a sense of how long it is and see whatever stands out to you
    Step 2: Thoroughly read through the quiz at the end of each section or chapter to gain the understanding of what important questions you should be asking yourself from here on out.
    **IMPORTANT: FOR STEPS 3 & 4 YOU ARE READING FOR EXPOSURE TO THE CONTENT, NOT COMPREHENSION**
    Step 3: Go to the start of the chapter and read through all of the bold texts throughout the chapter
    Step 4: Go back to the start of the chapter and read the first and last sentence of each paragraph.
    Step 5: Finally read through the chapter fully while framing questions that come to your mind on a blank piece of paper and highlighting in the text what made you think of those questions (Remember to stay curious, this will help you think of questions from the text). For now, don’t answer these questions, wait until you have finished the section or topic, then go through and answer them.
    Step 6: If the teacher has posted any type of video going over the topic. Watch it, it will help immensely because it was what they think is most important
    Hope this helps someone :)

    Step 1: Just flip through the pages, just looking at pictures, diagrams, graphs, etc. to just estimating how many words are there and how long the chapter is. Don't read at this point, just flip the pages.
    Step 2: Go to the end of the chapter and read the questions, if available. This gives you a sense of direction. What to look for in the book. What does the author consider important.
    Step 3: Read the bold print. Read the titles, the subtitles, the subheadings. This gives you a sense of structure.
    Step 4: Read the first sentence and last sentence in each paragraph. A good author would introduce the paragraph in the first sentence and sum it up in the last.
    *Keep this in mind if writing. *
    Note that we still haven't started reading for comprehension. We are reading for exposure.
    Analogy: We are not connecting the dots yet. We are building a map of the dots.
    Step 5: Now read the chapter for comprehension and take notes.
    This seems like a lot of work compared to reading and forgetting but compared to reading it for comprehension or remembering for a test, this is WAY easier and WAY less work.
    Repetition is the mother of learning.

    This is actually insane. I have been using this method subconsciously all through out my school (right from 6th grade to 12th) . In exams, especially English, I did most of the steps mentioned in this video and I for one aced most (if not all) comprehension paragraphs. Glad to hear, this has helped people and myself included because the above case only applied to me for English. About to start college soon, so it has reminded me of the method I used for English and now I'm fully prepared to use it on a conscious level on all upcoming tests, assignments etc. I thank you and the UA-cam algorithm.

      Hello GD. THANK YOU for posting a couple of comments. Here's the 'behind the scenes' of this video. I was teaching a small group on how to remember people’s names for my church at one of our local libraries. One of the attendees who brought her daughter, a school-aged child, asked about studying from textbooks. The class was very small and the camera with the mic was close to one student in particular, and that’s why you hear his voice and not the others.

    1. Flip through the pages to the end of the chapter. Glance at the pages and see what leaps out and how long the chapter is.
    2. Read the quiz or summary at the end of the chapter. This is the stuff the author/s thought was most important.
    3. Read the bold and highlighted text through the chapter. These are bullet points of what will be covered and are the important topics.
    4. Read the first and last sentence in each paragraph. This will usually be a simple explanation of the paragraph. Read this for exposure to the topic, not comprehension. That comes later.
    5. Read the chapter in full.

    Here's a tip which helped me score 74/80 in science
    This technique works
    So when you're reading the lesson and just blindly making notes ,keep a seperate notebook.
    Now while reading instead of taking notes, frame questions which come to your mind and also try framing questions just as you are reading,i mean - be atleast a bit curious about the topic and ask yourself questions. Now don't answer them,note them down
    After reading that particular page or topic ,go back to the questions and answer them
    Benefits:
    Firstly it's forces your mind to be curious over stuff
    And it's increases your ability to answer thereby making it easier for you to get full marks for a particular question in exam
    And it's pyschologically proven that if you write smt down immediately after learning it ,you remember it for a longer time
    Trust me this works
    I Went from 27/80 to 74/80 by this technique
    And try to understand the concepts instead of blindly reading and taking point
