Your timing couldn't have been more perfect! I was feeling so anxious and close to giving up, but your video appeared just when I needed it most. I'll start implementing your methods right away. Thank you for the inspiration!
Tell that to the WJEC (Welsh) exam board for secondary school tests 😂 literally guaranteed at this point something that's not in the syllabus WILL come up
Thank you! This is really helpful advice 🙏🏼 it awes me how underrated ur vids are with how high quality the content is. These tips are a must for every learner and student!!!
Thank you so much Archer! I'm currently very close to exams and I really needed this. I'm also sorry to hear about your dad, I hope he's doing better now.
@@ArcherNewton I think sometimes you should just get straight to the meat. Excuse the idiom if you are vegan. I live in the US and we love our idioms. Justin does the same thing.
This way of cramming works well for isolated topics, however I wonder about it's long term effectiveness for cohesive topics like the interlinking between human physiology and pathology and subsequent clinical management of diseases. I doubt that I could ever pass a final exam testing anything and everything by cramming.
Honestly not sure how it would work with mathematics or physics when it comes to the application. Both these fields require good fundamentals + the ability to internalize knowledge so that it can used freely
It does and is even more powerful for Physics. I used this to score a perfect score in Physics in my state - here's my comment on another comment. It's the same principles in that you need to: 1. find as many connections as possible with where certain approaches can be applied in multiple scenarios. For example, using quadratic formula, null factor law, in contexts of polynomials and calculus, as well as algebraic manipulation 2. Start with practising in layers of increasing detail and syntopically look at different examples of how concepts are used in similar mathematical problems so you can find the nuance in between these similar problems
Please see the comment I've just posted here too! In maths, you need to have extremely deep and nuanced understanding of all the applications that the mathematical concepts you've learnt can be applied (as per the learning objectives), since the most complicated questions won't test you outside of those LOs, they'll just require 'unexpected' and non-typical applications of some of the concepts you've already learnt.
I did this throughout all of the physiology, pathology and clinical learning. I also work with registrars, doctors in training and medical students who apply this across all of their medical learning. This video isn't about recommending cramming but instead saying that there are far more efficient ways to increase the chances of finding relationships between what you're learning and thereby increase your learning speed
Hi! I'm a Year 11 student studying bio, spesh, methods, physics, and english. I've recently found your videos, and the tips are interesting, but they seem quite different from the usual ones I've used like Anki, Obsidian notes, and practice SACs/chapter reviews. I'm kind of worried that none of my study methods are effective, so I'm a bit overwhelmed with options. If I try completely changing my approach, what do you think are the most important study techniques to focus on (if you could pick 3-5)?
Hey Xavier! By you looking at different options, you're already taking a huge step in the right direction and is going to be better than not. I don't recommend completely changing your approach in one go. You'll be swapping from habits you've become comfortable with fora long time to new techniques you've never used before. It's good to make the swap gradually and spend more time learning about the advantages and disadvantages of each method i explain on this channel so that you can begin to understand when to implement each technique and when not to!
Typing skills came down to doing deliberate practice! A little bit of encoding is in this video as you find relationships between what you’re learning !
Is it possible to cram for biochemistry? I seriously need to know how, what would you plan to do if you were in my place? It has equation and big ahh structures😢
can any one kindly help me ... I am new in caji koi academy, in this channel I am trying to figuring out how to learn but I don't have clarity. Now I am going to tell what I have learn just please give me feedback. System is preview, view and review. -At first before watching a lecture I familiar myself with the topic. -Then in class just take notes of two things 1st is when the teacher tell it will going to on the test 2nd things to memorize not understand. -After that solve practice problem and use spaced retrieval (for reviewing i use active recall and spaced repetation I think this two is called spaced retrieval)
if its fine, can you disclose your scores for each of your atar subjects? im doing spec, chem, methods, lit, human bio and physics. yr 11 rn. it'd really help let me know whats possible. 99.95 is incredible with your subjects and without a language if im not wrong.
Thank you for watching! You can likely just refer to learning objectives from similar medical schools or just ask ChatGPT! You'll have a lot of other crossover with other medical schools since, after all, as a doctor of your country, you need to have similar knowledge to other doctors
after briefly having an attempt to organise the keywords based on a quick search and relying on your prior knowledge! then you go check if that's right by going ahead and properly learning syntopically
Mr. Archer I noticed that Dr Sung is possibly having some difficulty with those with ADHD. meaning I’m not sure that he has an effective strategy for those with ADHD or those that have used his recommendations are making progress; like myself who hasn’t moved the needle much. And from the comments, I think that there might be an opportunity to utilize someone like myself who has been diagnosed with ADHD and has available time and willing to give some of that time for free in return for some coaching. I was thinking something like if I was to get coaching and have one of the coaches work with me directly and then figure out what works best overtime for those with ADHD, I would be the lab rat Let me know !
As cool as this might seem, isn't it a bit misguiding to direct people towards cramming a whole class in a day, where you will be forgetting pretty much all of it afterwards? This will create lots of problems in the future for people.
I try make the reference in the video that this is not ideal and worthwhile but also sometimes you need to be able to get yourself out a sticky situation which is how I ended up in this situation in the first place, otherwise I would have failed, but yes, completely understand!
Summary: 🎯Syntopical reading is the most effective way to quickly absorb and understand large amounts of information. 🏗 Lay a strong foundation of knowledge before diving into specific topics. 💡 Priming helps organize key concepts and make connections between different resources. 📖 Read multiple resources on the same topic to compare different perspectives and gain a clearer understanding. 🔄 Learn in layers of increasing detail to maximize revision time before exams.

Which ipad are you using, 11 or 12 inch ipad ?
That one is the 12.9 inch!
Hi should you then create a mind map of the whole subject or learn topic by topic?
If the whole subject isn’t too big, it’s good to have it on one mindmap!
