About 25.03 where you're talking about reading vs learning. I always think of it like learning to play an instrument. If you just listen to the song you want to learn, you dont actually learn it, you have to sit down and practice to learn. It is very useful to hear it once te get a certain kind of understanding, but nothing happens if you dont actively practice the song.
Well, when you say flashcards, be specific! You prolly meant some old paper flashcards. Anki is a pretty wonderful spaced repetition software that incorporates active recall! Active recall & Spaced Repetition the most powerful based on EVIDENCE Anki also has multiple note types and an extra section where you can add your images.... mind maps....mnemonics...et Al With it you're combining LOTS OF STUDY TECHNIQUES IN ONE SPACE I also admire Feynman technique and group work But it doesn't beat active recall and spaced repetition following the normal laws (Understand first!)
Great video guys! I was wondering if you could make a video based on college counselling and what kind of ecs and stats you should aim for? Or like a video on how to come up with passion projects?
Will keep that in mind! Till then, I'd definitely look up ikigai and then list out possible passion projects or goals that you see yourself doing and then see which ones fit all the boxes.
I was honestly thinking that the vid was dumb. Studying is a very subjective thing and different things work for different people. Quantifying the relative effectiveness of study methods based on personal experience is a flawed premise. I personally despise pomodoro and live flashcards
I actually love your videos because their meaningful lessons, but I have some feedback. 1/ Can you me a subtitle, an English one? I think many of foreign viewers will also need that. 2/ Can you turn the background music volume a little lower, sometimes it makes the atmosphere to be more active, but to be honest I think it a little noisy. Thank you so much for your videos.
heyy how can i replace flashcards? i feel burnout while using them and they kinda make it feel like im not connected to stuff but im using them just because of the great scheduling they provide, any suggestions are appreciated thanks for the magnificent tier list :)
If you are referring to the Feynman technique then there is no app but you can refer to our video on the 5S of learning and teaching. We go through Feynman in the video. ua-cam.com/video/bbd5wfsLo9s/v-deo.htmlsi=SCFt3Aau-fFrVj9B
"I'd give it an S tier...", "...naw I'm going to give it a B tier".. have two personal ranking systems or rank it in the middle. Or is one person more of an authority on the best study tactics?
About pomodoro method, nowadays my study period is 1hour and my rest is 10 minutes. You have to feel when you can go further and study for more time, following the pattern of big study moment and a small rest. I think pomodoro is the best way to study for long periods without getting exausted
@@KoiAcademy My parents and sister used to study 10 hours a day before exams and ~6 hours otherwise, so now 1 hour is barely anything, I have to do at least 3 hours in a row before I can think of take a short break Honestly though, its not that hard unless you're doing something that's really difficult
@@PharmaDstudent Yeah as I kinda said, if you're trying to learn something new then you dont wanna go beyond 3 hours. Its better to just learn properly for 1.5 hours and then practice for 30min. Doing more can make forget what you learnt. I think the best way to memorize content you learn at school or elsewhere is to simply recall what you did afterwards each day, and write some stuff down. Takes only 10 - 20min and its very effective
S Tier: INTERLEAVING: Learning one topic in different ways possible FEYMAN TECHNIQUE: Teaching what you understood/learnt to someone in as simple words as possible. STUDY PLANNING: Planning beforehand when, what and for how long to study. SLEEP: One of the most important and beneficial for learning is sleep. People literally can die without lack of sleep. Never ever sacrifice it. Decrease sleep= Decrease lifespan. We process everything we experienced at day in our sleep. CREATING CONTENT: Create content from what you have learnt from is an incredibly useful technique because it gives you a reason to learn something so you can share it with others. It also improves your brain creativity. A Tier: Pomodoro: 25min study session and 5 minute break or 50min session and 10 min break. PRIMING: Reading the respective material before going to class so you won't feel lost and actually kind of know what the teacher is talking about. CHUNKING: Lots of information is broken down into small parts and is memorised individually (so we won't feel like there is soo much to learn and also it helps the brain to process info much faster and make it less stressful) PRACTICE PROBLEMS: Tip: If you have like a lot of concepts then try to do conceptual questions first and then go for full chapter tests. It becomes easier about where you are finding lapses in the chapter. Might not work for everyone. Try it though. SPACED REPETITION: Reviewing/Revision a concept or chapter in regular intervals. (Your brain can't process and store information if you revise just once. You have to review it over and over again for your brain to actually remember it.). The spaced repetition sequence goes like this: 1st time, within 2 hours, 4 hours, 1 day, 3 days, 7days...till you remember it) MIND MAP:Basically you just try to draw a map with the topic and the Subtopics. Very useful for revision if you include blurting and mind map together. For eg. If you take a topic and it has two subtopics, just by looking at the name of the topics and subtopics your brain should be able to think about what you learnt under that topic/subtopic. VISUAL ASSOCIATION: Trying to group a page of notes etc into diagrams or mindmaps(anything visually). Highly useful because it makes your brain to easily remember details. B Tier: SYNTOPICAL: Studying one topic from different resources. To gain multiple perspectives of understandings from different people. FRAMEWORKING: Giving structure to what you are thinking. For eg. Using flowcharts Or diagrams or graphs to understand about a concept. Bad thing is that it takes a lot of time to actually figure out how to draw the concept/topic for you to understand it. LISTENING TO MUSIC: Very useful and enjoyable when you don't feel like studying. White noise and binaural beats are considered as most effective. Tips: Don't listen to slow music, don't listen to music with lyrics and dont listen to music with high volume. EXERCISE: It's really important both physically and mentally. It enables your mood, memory, your well being and overall everything. Not mandatory though. GROUP DISCUSSIONS: Highly useful if used correctly and surrounded with the right people. CHAT GPT: Useful for summaries of chapters or topics or to clarify doubts C Tier: Flashcards:Taking a small card and writing a question or a fact on one side and the answer on the other side so you can kind of quiz yourself and know the answer immediately.Not recommended because it takes too much time and energy. But very helpful in some cases. BLURTING: Take a topic and write down everything you remember about it. It helps you to recall facts but not recommended because it doesn't make you think about the links between the concepts. Very useful for occasional use. GOING TO CLASS: Depends on the person. Each one has their own needs but its good to have a guide to what you are doing and to help you with doubts. MNEMONICS: Just trying to remember a list of things(especially in a sequence) to create like a rhyme or a pattern. It just helps you to recall things and not actually understand the concepts. HOMEWORK: It depends on person. If you feel homework is a burden then it's unhelpful but if you take it to your advantage, it's very helpful. CRAMMING: Spaced repetition > Cramming. Most people sacrifice sleep to cram which isn't good. It also is not good for memory. But useful sometimes. D Tier: REREADING/REWATCHING: Complete waste of time as your brain thinks it already knows but we can't actually remember it. HIGHLIGHTING: Not useful because it's passive and it tells your brain that its important but it doesn't actually make your brain to remember it even though you know its important. Tip: People get bored quickly. So try different techniques for every chapter you learn and observe what works and doesn't work. It takes time but it's very effective once you know how to learn something effectively. Most people want to learn but they don't know how. So we have to be thankful that there are already plenty of techniques backed up by science so we don't take up most of the time thinking about how to learn. Thanks for reading.
Genuine question here guys, I know you alluded to it in this video, so if flashcards are counter productive, perhaps you should pin on a comment on your older videos regarding flash cards? The ones where you specifically recommend Remnotes. I realize opinions on topic change over time, however if your opinion has changed drastically a pinned comment on your flashcard videos linking to your new opinion on the subject would be useful to learners (I understand why you might not want to entirely delete or hide these older videos). The algorithm will just recommend older popular videos to learners, leading to poor learning outcomes. Which obviously is not what youre about.
yeah I feel like they just generalized how people use it. You may highlight something important while initially learning about the content, and then go back to that later to study. I really don't see how that's a problem.
I think it depends on what you’re studying. The tier list would look different for different subjects. For subjects like biology and chemistry, anki is most useful whereas with maths nothing is better than practice problems and so on.
How school teach you: - Listen to what the teacher says - Write it down in a notebook (or online) - Make homework - and then once a month make a test to see how much you know How i want to learn: - Make a test - See what i did wrong on the test - Make homework based on what i did wrong - Make another test to see if im improved - Repeat
@@ashesh2420 To test your prior knowledge. You learn more by making a mistake so once you go through your mistakes, you'll encode that faster in your long term memory.
Can easily do that with ChatGPT or Claude. I heard the Khan Academy AI is pretty good too basically you better off learning on your own at this point because school is so slow and antiquated. Also if you don't feel like writing boring papers you can train a custom GPT on your old assignments and have it paraphrase using your old assignments then edit and check for readability.
glad to get ur notification again and thank u so much for the beneficial content btw i'm so glad u guys talked about flashcards i'm a med student im Algeria and using flashcards and ankis isn't that famous here so i was really hesitant about whether i should start using it or not so thanks for the clarity u just served
Bro I'm from ENSIA Algeria and I use Flashcards, they are so beneficial if you can use AI To make them instead of wasting your time ( Learning Curve at the Start )
Incredibly useful! The great thing is that you guys explained that even good techniques can be done in the wrong way so now I sorta know what to do and avoid, thanks!
Great video. About the music I just want to make an addendum. For people with ADHD, music can be very beneficial because it stimulates our brain enough to actually do the studying, I myself have ADHD, and I am a completely different person with and without music, but those tips of no lyrics and no fast pace music are definitely true, I love using Lofi to study.
Honestly a bad tier lol, I feel like you are only doing this from your perspective and what methods you adopted and worked/didnt… I suggest you have more people review this as it could really ruin other’s view of study methods
@@KoiAcademy insanely good! I use blurting every time before I try a practice paper and it helps a whole lot! I could remember the timelines and the yardsticks I use for my essays
i finished school years ago and I finally realize that I'm not stupid nor lazy, I was just never taugth how to study. All my methods were in D class and were presented as THE ONLY way (by teachers too!). I would do tests with a gigantic amount of anxiety because I felt like I knew enough thanks to the illusion of familiarity, but then the test would feel like it was written in another language. I bet knowing this would have made my highschool experience much better. I don't know if I'll be able to go back to school, but I'm definitely gonna use these techniques in my self learning journey. Thank you very much for posting this video, it was a confidence boost I didn't even think I needed :D
There's a method for memorizing.The one,one-two, one-two-three...... technique It works for moderate sentence length experiments or anything long it basically works after understanding the experiment then, read its first sentence, write it down, then read second sentence, write first sentence then second sentence, then read third sentence and then.......... You get the idea , until it's over then write entire experiment at once, two times. Later you can space the time you write it again. Could take me up to 5 days before I need to write it again. Kinda boosted my long term memory. Feel free to scroll away if you think it's garbage. Like if it resonates with you.
I remember once for a biology test I wanted to try and see what would happen if I reread the whole chapter the test was about 100x and see what grade I would get. I aced the test but it was exhausting 😅 There are for sure more effective methods (I mostly use the Feynman and active recall), but I probably wouldn’t put rereading on the bottom 😄
About rewatching and re reading actually you sometimes on your first go misread or intrepret it the wrong way but when you read it again actually sometimes it does makes sense and is very useful ie when you get the right idea and abuut rewatching a video is again not a problem some teachers just teach so fast you cant get it in your first go something is just so complex you wouldn't be able to understand in your first go . Just like who watched intrestellar at age of 6-7 now at 15 i find it totally different (ofc it would be at such a large years of diff ) but its just a example you can relate it in your own way
heyy not sure if you’re still replying to comments but I’m just wondering what I’d be able to do about planning my time, I’m someone who roughly estimates the time i’m going to get something done (eg, at/before 7:30) but I end up overshooting the time a lot and finishing maybe 30-60mins after the time I estimated, any tips on how to just improve on this? A lot of these ‘plan your time beforehand’ things are mentioned in the study strategies/technique videos I come across but I know I can’t follow it because I’m notoriously known for not being able to fully complete everything I want in the time I set for myself to do it
@@KoiAcademy I have been studying deeply history, so I need to know every century and important date. History can’t be learned by just knowing one period of time in specific country, you need to the whole history of one century on many continents and countries. For example let’s say you learning ancient Babilon, not only you have to say when hammurabi wrote his code but know how he became such important person and why his code’s innovative. Understanding ancient Egypt, Israel, Greece Persian and Asyrians is key to understand Babilon. Listening to podcast, UA-cam videos, reading discussions about topic make you vision of how the world was build back then ( art and religion can’t be left out) It takes time nonetheless it left you with knowledge It’s not my 1st language whatsoever I hope you understand my thought 😊
Sometimes I like homework and I know the goal is the understand that material. But my main priority is to complete homework for grades and study for exams; I feel like I don't have time because every class has homework.
Understandable. That's where you try and find the relevance of the concepts you've been given. "Why are you learning this and what would you learn from this concept. Will this benefit me or the people around me?" Asking questions like these would atleast bring a certain energy and willingness to an otherwise really tiring work.
Hey guys. In my experience Using AI doesn't work as well, especially for people who are not learning in english. Sometimes chat gbt just makes up false Facts in order to say anything. For example I asked it to summarise a movie that wasn't made in english and it just made up something. And although it does speak other languages and can research in other languages as far as I know. It also made up a poem when I asked it To mention A specific poet's work about a certain topic and because. It couldn't find it so just made up false facts. Be careful with that😂
Yes! I definitely agree that while AI is a great tool, people need to be extra involved with it and make sure that it is actually "spitting out facts" as it were. It's great help but definitely not the be all, end all.
@@KoiAcademy of course! For me its also a good way to get inspiration on how to tackle a task step by step, or ideas or start an essay with its help. Can give overall main points to go off of/ keep in mind which isn't "cheating" just a helpful tools (that even old-school teachers can't critisise lol) Also just wanna thank you guys for this community and all the motivation and compassion you all give
@_eszter_9090 Like you said, it's all about using your own critical thinking to use information that's valid and to trash what isn't. They key here is good, very specific prompts and to use everything word by word what AI generates. You need to summarize it, make the information your own and research the heck out of it. ua-cam.com/video/JZ_flEGANBw/v-deo.htmlsi=1W2sEsDOfKsIYJFh This video is a deep dive on how I use AI. Hope this will help!
@@_eszter_9090 Try using Claude by Perplexity or Mistral Large always best to test multiple AI models to test which works out the best and you can test all the latest using Chat Arena.
So i have a request i dont know if it would be seen or answered to. So im currently studying for my residency exam (in Algeria we have to pass a very difficult exam to access residency) Long story short i have 32 subjects to study and memorise for less than 5 months. So a video on how to plan active recal when you already have so much more to do in such short time and how to organize it by subjects would be amazing
Hey there! I'd advise you to watch our videos on the GROW table and active recall. I think they will be quite useful in making a plan and then studying using active recall. I also suggest you watch our video on the 5 S framework. It will provide you the tools to create study systems designed to aid recall. Also, use AI as a tool to help you prepare. It's a great way to get on top of your goals and ideas; just give it a super specific prompt of what you need, what your timeline is, your subjects, and you are good to go. ua-cam.com/video/N60JDe3a0IM/v-deo.htmlsi=XvAT99q3PUYNfPR8 ua-cam.com/video/bbd5wfsLo9s/v-deo.htmlsi=CZNMcE5V9tKv3ni9 ua-cam.com/video/MSq-KGj_cnY/v-deo.htmlsi=Uu9RLoSI1rb_5nuT ua-cam.com/video/JZ_flEGANBw/v-deo.htmlsi=XK7i0XZFiWJCTA8l ua-cam.com/video/4RkWiNO3iq8/v-deo.htmlsi=1kft5bWmWXlahhgq

About highlighting , when I recall what I hightlight in my exam room, I only remember the color of hightlight and I can't remember the facts or the words I hightlight. story of my life.
I use a method that is only meant to crack exams...to go into the depth of each question's chapter, marks allotment,no. of times it has occured in the previous times and what is its probability for the upcoming exam...it easily works for descriptive type exams and for competitive MCQ type, by looking into which concepts of a chapter were the questions given last year,we can tell the pattern for the next exam or if its randomly choosen each exam, we atleast know that the concept has really low probability for showing up on next exam...so is there a name for this analytical approach? Id like to know please
I gotta ask, you guys promoted Remnote and flashcards a lot, so it had been such a nice app for flashcards and notes in general but I keep switching back and forth with hand-written notes,, so I'm not using it at all :((. I downloaded a lot of other apps and websites and I'm really overwhelmed because I've tried finding my own study routine or method that works for me. I don't really know which study method to prioritize or when to do. So I had a few questions if you don't mind. Do you think hand-written notes are better than writing on the iPad? Or should I sacrifice this to type them up on remnote directly to make flashcards? Do you guys feel a lot differently now about flashcards now? Is it still a really good way to memorize among other memorization techniques? Also, do you recommend I get remnote premium? There seems to be a lot of new features. Great video btw!! u guys r so underrated :)))
I think blurting is higher than you guys ranked it. I believe it's really effective for writing papers. When you really understand a topic and have details of it memorized, blurting when writing fills the gap of application which is useful for the field that you're going into. On top of it, it saves time because not only are you gaining application skills but you're also finishing your homework.
Cajun Koi Academy, I really like your content! Due to the good visualisation I was able to follow the topic back here in Germany. Just one question: where would you RANK Cornell-Notetaking?
I feel like this video was good but had a lot of generalizations. Some people don't use the techniques in the way you say. It probably would've been good to tier each method in its best form, not in the form that people often use it in. This is because the method itself may actually be good if used properly. For example, I find it surprising that going to class would be considered c tier. Obviously if you go to class without priming your brain for it it's not that effective. In principle, though, I'm pretty sure making it a habit to go to class prepared would make it effective for learning.
With respect to music, I remember Mike said a while ago that music shouldn't be used because it turns off cognitive processes needed for learning. I agree. Although, I believe it's useful to listen to calming music when you're stressed and have to work. For instance, I'll listen to Lo-Fi while reading when I'm really anxious and it's useful in that scenario
I think highlighting the way that you described it is lower tier and I agree. If you're using active learning processes rather than passive with the highlighted material I believe it can be useful as a reference point. The internal processes are essential for any of the external techniques to work effectively.
I think I know where is the problem, in some countries like mine we study subjects with a language other than our native language wich make some problems as lack of words difficulty in anderstanding... In contrary if we studied those topics in our language it would be much easier. But it is what it is.
Coding is a more abstract form of prompting since all new coding language keep try to simplify getting the computer to do what you want. Also Bard has been rebranded to Gemini and the main models at least according to LLM ranking is Claude Opus, GPT4 1106preview(Not what you use in ChatGPT plus accounts) and Gemini Pro.
I’m a secondary teacher 4 yrs in and didn’t go to school for teaching. This is so cool to see these pedagogical things broken down. Syntopical reading is my personal fave but kids don’t do it nowadays cause they’re not curious about the things taught in our curriculum and don’t like to read.
Absolutely loving my learning journey with networking fundamentals! I've crafted a personalized strategy that combines flashcards, the Feynman technique, the Zettelkasten method, and a commonplace book. Here's how it works: I use flashcards divided into four quadrants. Quadrant A has everyday definitions, as if explained by Feynman himself. Quadrant B lists real-world applications, Quadrant C dives into why the concept is important, and Quadrant D explores connections between different cards. All the cards are organized using the Zettelkasten method, allowing for a dynamic and interlinked learning experience. I also keep a commonplace book where I sketch diagrams and jot down my thoughts, further enriching the learning process. Finally, I digitize everything in Obsidian to keep it structured and easily accessible. This method has revolutionized the way I learn-making it engaging, thorough, and surprisingly less tiring. Just thought I’d share for anyone looking for a more integrated and effective way to study complex subjects! 🚀📚
@@misterredcliffe5417 I am not a native English speaker so I have some probelm in understanding the comment. I just wanted it to be in some short and simple English. Thanks for your time.
I dont know why you consider repetition as waste of time, my experience has been that the first time I read a subject through lectures, i get it but also there are certain lines in textbook that i cant grasp, the second time I revise that subject during the revision tests those same lines make a lot more sense and the third time i read the subject before exams everything just seems so clear and understandable. This cycle has been the same for theee classes
I think if you do spaced repetition (like you reread the material the next day, so that your brain can have time to process the information while you sleep) or you use other methods to study before rereading (like you go to class or check other books/videos/sources that talk about the material) then I think rereading can work. It's just not really worth reading the same material multiple times in a row, the same day (given that you actually do understand the material the first time you read).
I checked out your website, but in the survey was unable to move the 'rating' responses up or down. Don't know what the problem is, but doesn't bode well for further exploration.
I apologize for the inconvenience. You can email support@cajunkoi.com and send them the issue with a screen recording so they can fix it immediately. Thank you.
Going to class as far as your grade is concerned can be pretty important especially if your teacher is old school. It also forces you to work on the subject where you might do something else if you weren’t in class
Can someone help me study anatomy or at least tell me a method to learn anatomy effectively, I am just in my first year and this subject is very difficult for me and I have an exam in a week, please help me using Anki has not worked for me.
I used Anki. Anki is perfect for anatomy, you are just using it wrong. You clip an image of the structure you need to identify, and identify it. Plain and simple. I got an easy A in anatomy cause of that.
You could also use Noteability. First I would scan the page of your textbook into the app. Next you can use those specificly designed study stickers which hides the name and shows it again if you tap on it. So it is basically active recall and you quiz yourself the whole time. This is only the repetition part to make sure the information really sticks. To get the information in your brain the first time, the loci method or mnemonic is really helpful. To break it down to you, you basically read the name and just associate the sound of this word with an image or something you already know. Or you ascociate the name with an other therm which sounds familiar. The best images are funny or sexual ones the weirder the better. For example: Bradycardia -> Brady as in Tom Brady, he is a football player. To remember that Bradycardia means a slow heart rate, you could imagine an image that Tom Brady is a slow football player and you dislike him therefore. And now you created a strong image even with emotions which is hate in this case. And you go on and on with these images. Especially in medicine one of THE key concepts are these memory places you create. It is also important to know the latein vocabulary, so you really and deeply understand the location. And again you can learn this with the loci method. Wish you good luck and remember repetition and lots of quizing is key!
Furthermore, yesterday I saw a video of Dr. Justin Sung and he said that the fun method to study anatomy is if you image that you will perform an actual operation on another human being and their life depends on it. This may sound like a lot of pressure. But you will turn this into a game. You could also use your teddy bear as a patient and explain and image all the nerves or bones to him. This method will also ensure that you will pay attention to the necessarity of the subject and why you should this instead of this. There are also some other tips especially for med students in Justins recent video. Maybe check it out, but only in your study break not as a procrastination.

But it doesn't beat active recall and spaced repetition following the normal laws (Understand first!)

About pomodoro method, nowadays my study period is 1hour and my rest is 10 minutes. You have to feel when you can go further and study for more time, following the pattern of big study moment and a small rest.
I think pomodoro is the best way to study for long periods without getting exausted
1 hour is a big chunk of time! How do you feel afterwards?
@@KoiAcademy My parents and sister used to study 10 hours a day before exams and ~6 hours otherwise, so now 1 hour is barely anything, I have to do at least 3 hours in a row before I can think of take a short break
Honestly though, its not that hard unless you're doing something that's really difficult
@@naalex132 i can do that but i always think about my studying quality is useless when i spend a lot of time for study less slides
@@PharmaDstudent Yeah as I kinda said, if you're trying to learn something new then you dont wanna go beyond 3 hours. Its better to just learn properly for 1.5 hours and then practice for 30min. Doing more can make forget what you learnt.
I think the best way to memorize content you learn at school or elsewhere is to simply recall what you did afterwards each day, and write some stuff down. Takes only 10 - 20min and its very effective
There is no way my favorite UA-camrs will like my comment
I hope they like your comment. 😮💨
S Tier:
INTERLEAVING: Learning one topic in different ways possible
FEYMAN TECHNIQUE: Teaching what you understood/learnt to someone in as simple words as possible.
STUDY PLANNING: Planning beforehand when, what and for how long to study.
SLEEP: One of the most important and beneficial for learning is sleep. People literally can die without lack of sleep. Never ever sacrifice it. Decrease sleep= Decrease lifespan. We process everything we experienced at day in our sleep.
CREATING CONTENT: Create content from what you have learnt from is an incredibly useful technique because it gives you a reason to learn something so you can share it with others. It also improves your brain creativity.
A Tier:
Pomodoro: 25min study session and 5 minute break or 50min session and 10 min break.
PRIMING: Reading the respective material before going to class so you won't feel lost and actually kind of know what the teacher is talking about.
CHUNKING: Lots of information is broken down into small parts and is memorised individually (so we won't feel like there is soo much to learn and also it helps the brain to process info much faster and make it less stressful)
PRACTICE PROBLEMS: Tip: If you have like a lot of concepts then try to do conceptual questions first and then go for full chapter tests. It becomes easier about where you are finding lapses in the chapter. Might not work for everyone. Try it though.
SPACED REPETITION: Reviewing/Revision a concept or chapter in regular intervals. (Your brain can't process and store information if you revise just once. You have to review it over and over again for your brain to actually remember it.). The spaced repetition sequence goes like this: 1st time, within 2 hours, 4 hours, 1 day, 3 days, 7days...till you remember it)
MIND MAP:Basically you just try to draw a map with the topic and the Subtopics. Very useful for revision if you include blurting and mind map together. For eg. If you take a topic and it has two subtopics, just by looking at the name of the topics and subtopics your brain should be able to think about what you learnt under that topic/subtopic.
VISUAL ASSOCIATION: Trying to group a page of notes etc into diagrams or mindmaps(anything visually). Highly useful because it makes your brain to easily remember details.
B Tier:
SYNTOPICAL: Studying one topic from different resources. To gain multiple perspectives of understandings from different people.
FRAMEWORKING: Giving structure to what you are thinking. For eg. Using flowcharts Or diagrams or graphs to understand about a concept. Bad thing is that it takes a lot of time to actually figure out how to draw the concept/topic for you to understand it.
LISTENING TO MUSIC: Very useful and enjoyable when you don't feel like studying. White noise and binaural beats are considered as most effective. Tips: Don't listen to slow music, don't listen to music with lyrics and dont listen to music with high volume.
EXERCISE: It's really important both physically and mentally. It enables your mood, memory, your well being and overall everything. Not mandatory though.
GROUP DISCUSSIONS: Highly useful if used correctly and surrounded with the right people.
CHAT GPT: Useful for summaries of chapters or topics or to clarify doubts
C Tier:
Flashcards:Taking a small card and writing a question or a fact on one side and the answer on the other side so you can kind of quiz yourself and know the answer immediately.Not recommended because it takes too much time and energy. But very helpful in some cases.
BLURTING: Take a topic and write down everything you remember about it. It helps you to recall facts but not recommended because it doesn't make you think about the links between the concepts. Very useful for occasional use.
GOING TO CLASS: Depends on the person. Each one has their own needs but its good to have a guide to what you are doing and to help you with doubts.
MNEMONICS: Just trying to remember a list of things(especially in a sequence) to create like a rhyme or a pattern. It just helps you to recall things and not actually understand the concepts.
HOMEWORK: It depends on person. If you feel homework is a burden then it's unhelpful but if you take it to your advantage, it's very helpful.
CRAMMING: Spaced repetition > Cramming. Most people sacrifice sleep to cram which isn't good. It also is not good for memory. But useful sometimes.
D Tier:
REREADING/REWATCHING: Complete waste of time as your brain thinks it already knows but we can't actually remember it.
HIGHLIGHTING: Not useful because it's passive and it tells your brain
that its important but it doesn't actually make your brain to remember it even though you know its important.
Tip: People get bored quickly. So try different techniques for every chapter you learn and observe what works and doesn't work. It takes time but it's very effective once you know how to learn something effectively. Most people want to learn but they don't know how. So we have to be thankful that there are already plenty of techniques backed up by science so we don't take up most of the time thinking about how to learn. Thanks for reading.

Thanks bro, you saved a lot of my time.😃
@@VidurGupta-zk9hx Haha I know
Yooo bro just wanna say that music should be in C tier base on the video maybe you miss it😊
@@cray1 Ohhh i didn't see that. Thanks for telling, maybe I misplaced it haha.
Genuine question here guys, I know you alluded to it in this video, so if flashcards are counter productive, perhaps you should pin on a comment on your older videos regarding flash cards? The ones where you specifically recommend Remnotes. I realize opinions on topic change over time, however if your opinion has changed drastically a pinned comment on your flashcard videos linking to your new opinion on the subject would be useful to learners (I understand why you might not want to entirely delete or hide these older videos). The algorithm will just recommend older popular videos to learners, leading to poor learning outcomes. Which obviously is not what youre about.
Ultimate science-tested they said. Where are the articles or research for what different study strategies?
i think highlighting is really effective when combined with chunking
you highlight the key words to chunk it and group it for better memorization
I like that idea. Is this your method of chunking?
Oh thats Genius thanks for that
yeah I feel like they just generalized how people use it. You may highlight something important while initially learning about the content, and then go back to that later to study. I really don't see how that's a problem.
I think it depends on what you’re studying. The tier list would look different for different subjects. For subjects like biology and chemistry, anki is most useful whereas with maths nothing is better than practice problems and so on.
Cajun Koi Academy, You're the best! I subscribed because I love your content!
Thank you for the love and support, rookie! 🚀🔥
How school teach you:
- Listen to what the teacher says
- Write it down in a notebook (or online)
- Make homework
- and then once a month make a test to see how much you know
How i want to learn:
- Make a test
- See what i did wrong on the test
- Make homework based on what i did wrong
- Make another test to see if im improved
- Repeat
That's an S tier idea, in my opinion
Why make the test at the beginning when you know you have no knowledge of the topic at all
@@ashesh2420 To test your prior knowledge. You learn more by making a mistake so once you go through your mistakes, you'll encode that faster in your long term memory.
Can easily do that with ChatGPT or Claude. I heard the Khan Academy AI is pretty good too basically you better off learning on your own at this point because school is so slow and antiquated. Also if you don't feel like writing boring papers you can train a custom GPT on your old assignments and have it paraphrase using your old assignments then edit and check for readability.
@@southcoastinventors6583 i used chatgpt to create tests/exams. works really good
glad to get ur notification again and thank u so much for the beneficial content btw i'm so glad u guys talked about flashcards i'm a med student im Algeria and using flashcards and ankis isn't that famous here so i was really hesitant about whether i should start using it or not so thanks for the clarity u just served
I would probably go through quizlet as well and then compare anki with it. Any is a great app but has a huge learning curve!
there’s some pretty easy beginner guides to get you started :)
Bro I'm from ENSIA Algeria and I use Flashcards, they are so beneficial if you can use AI To make them instead of wasting your time ( Learning Curve at the Start )
Incredibly useful! The great thing is that you guys explained that even good techniques can be done in the wrong way so now I sorta know what to do and avoid, thanks!

@@KoiAcademyit’s not that’s just all S tier
Ah, my bad. I totally agree with you there then.
Great video. About the music I just want to make an addendum. For people with ADHD, music can be very beneficial because it stimulates our brain enough to actually do the studying, I myself have ADHD, and I am a completely different person with and without music, but those tips of no lyrics and no fast pace music are definitely true, I love using Lofi to study.
it's something abour your editing its so satifsying i cant put my head to it
I use the blurting method for theory subjects such as science and then use feynman technique afterwards to solidify my knowledge
Pls tell me how to learn english vocabulary i forgot what i learn
I am weak at english😢
Honestly a bad tier lol, I feel like you are only doing this from your perspective and what methods you adopted and worked/didnt… I suggest you have more people review this as it could really ruin other’s view of study methods
imo blurting is insane for subjects like History and Geography when youre prepping for exams!
Insane good or insane bad? 🤔
@@KoiAcademy insanely good! I use blurting every time before I try a practice paper and it helps a whole lot! I could remember the timelines and the yardsticks I use for my essays
Although i am in zoology major i can relate
How's blurting helping you in zoology?
@@KoiAcademy it's helpful in learning names and examples.learning them is the most stressful process itself😮💨
i finished school years ago and I finally realize that I'm not stupid nor lazy, I was just never taugth how to study. All my methods were in D class and were presented as THE ONLY way (by teachers too!). I would do tests with a gigantic amount of anxiety because I felt like I knew enough thanks to the illusion of familiarity, but then the test would feel like it was written in another language. I bet knowing this would have made my highschool experience much better. I don't know if I'll be able to go back to school, but I'm definitely gonna use these techniques in my self learning journey. Thank you very much for posting this video, it was a confidence boost I didn't even think I needed :D
There's a method for memorizing.The one,one-two, one-two-three...... technique It works for moderate sentence length experiments or anything long it basically works after understanding the experiment then, read its first sentence, write it down, then read second sentence, write first sentence then second sentence, then read third sentence and then.......... You get the idea , until it's over then write entire experiment at once, two times. Later you can space the time you write it again. Could take me up to 5 days before I need to write it again. Kinda boosted my long term memory.
Feel free to scroll away if you think it's garbage.
Like if it resonates with you.
I remember once for a biology test I wanted to try and see what would happen if I reread the whole chapter the test was about 100x and see what grade I would get. I aced the test but it was exhausting 😅 There are for sure more effective methods (I mostly use the Feynman and active recall), but I probably wouldn’t put rereading on the bottom 😄
About rewatching and re reading actually you sometimes on your first go misread or intrepret it the wrong way but when you read it again actually sometimes it does makes sense and is very useful ie when you get the right idea and abuut rewatching a video is again not a problem some teachers just teach so fast you cant get it in your first go something is just so complex you wouldn't be able to understand in your first go . Just like who watched intrestellar at age of 6-7 now at 15 i find it totally different (ofc it would be at such a large years of diff ) but its just a example you can relate it in your own way
I dont believe Anki is a good strategy for anything that is related to maths and physics
I think that a great deal of work was given on how to plan in Atomic Habits. Habit stacking and such methods are quite useful for this.
I still use RemNote for my CompSci degree
You missed Active Recall?
your video is underrated, gave a like
The second time I used Anki, I got 100% on my Econ & Business test
R u guys the same people who made remnoteeee?
heyy not sure if you’re still replying to comments but I’m just wondering what I’d be able to do about planning my time, I’m someone who roughly estimates the time i’m going to get something done (eg, at/before 7:30) but I end up overshooting the time a lot and finishing maybe 30-60mins after the time I estimated, any tips on how to just improve on this?
A lot of these ‘plan your time beforehand’ things are mentioned in the study strategies/technique videos I come across but I know I can’t follow it because I’m notoriously known for not being able to fully complete everything I want in the time I set for myself to do it
I mean, it's just try and error until you got your times right. It's not more than that
@@lucasfranco772 ahhh that works, cheers for the response mate I appreciate it!:)

Syntopical reading
Glad to see you guys again🙌
Hey there! Can you dive a little more into syntopical reading. What's your process like?
@@KoiAcademy I have been studying deeply history, so I need to know every century and important date. History can’t be learned by just knowing one period of time in specific country, you need to the whole history of one century on many continents and countries. For example let’s say you learning ancient Babilon, not only you have to say when hammurabi wrote his code but know how he became such important person and why his code’s innovative. Understanding ancient Egypt, Israel, Greece Persian and Asyrians is key to understand Babilon.
Listening to podcast, UA-cam videos, reading discussions about topic make you vision of how the world was build back then ( art and religion can’t be left out)
It takes time nonetheless it left you with knowledge
It’s not my 1st language whatsoever I hope you understand my thought 😊

Sometimes I like homework and I know the goal is the understand that material. But my main priority is to complete homework for grades and study for exams; I feel like I don't have time because every class has homework.
Understandable. That's where you try and find the relevance of the concepts you've been given.
"Why are you learning this and what would you learn from this concept. Will this benefit me or the people around me?"
Asking questions like these would atleast bring a certain energy and willingness to an otherwise really tiring work.
How do you do spaced repetitions though without flashcards to test you
Plan what you study ahead
Hey guys. In my experience Using AI doesn't work as well, especially for people who are not learning in english. Sometimes chat gbt just makes up false Facts in order to say anything. For example I asked it to summarise a movie that wasn't made in english and it just made up something. And although it does speak other languages and can research in other languages as far as I know. It also made up a poem when I asked it To mention A specific poet's work about a certain topic and because. It couldn't find it so just made up false facts. Be careful with that😂
Yes! I definitely agree that while AI is a great tool, people need to be extra involved with it and make sure that it is actually "spitting out facts" as it were.
It's great help but definitely not the be all, end all.
@@KoiAcademy of course! For me its also a good way to get inspiration on how to tackle a task step by step, or ideas or start an essay with its help. Can give overall main points to go off of/ keep in mind which isn't "cheating" just a helpful tools (that even old-school teachers can't critisise lol)
Also just wanna thank you guys for this community and all the motivation and compassion you all give
@_eszter_9090 Like you said, it's all about using your own critical thinking to use information that's valid and to trash what isn't.
They key here is good, very specific prompts and to use everything word by word what AI generates. You need to summarize it, make the information your own and research the heck out of it.

So i have a request i dont know if it would be seen or answered to. So im currently studying for my residency exam (in Algeria we have to pass a very difficult exam to access residency)
Long story short i have 32 subjects to study and memorise for less than 5 months. So a video on how to plan active recal when you already have so much more to do in such short time and how to organize it by subjects would be amazing
Hey there! I'd advise you to watch our videos on the GROW table and active recall. I think they will be quite useful in making a plan and then studying using active recall.
I also suggest you watch our video on the 5 S framework. It will provide you the tools to create study systems designed to aid recall.
Also, use AI as a tool to help you prepare. It's a great way to get on top of your goals and ideas; just give it a super specific prompt of what you need, what your timeline is, your subjects, and you are good to go.

About highlighting , when I recall what I hightlight in my exam room, I only remember the color of hightlight and I can't remember the facts or the words I hightlight. story of my life.
I use a method that is only meant to crack exams...to go into the depth of each question's chapter, marks allotment,no. of times it has occured in the previous times and what is its probability for the upcoming exam...it easily works for descriptive type exams and for competitive MCQ type, by looking into which concepts of a chapter were the questions given last year,we can tell the pattern for the next exam or if its randomly choosen each exam, we atleast know that the concept has really low probability for showing up on next exam...so is there a name for this analytical approach? Id like to know please
I gotta ask, you guys promoted Remnote and flashcards a lot, so it had been such a nice app for flashcards and notes in general but I keep switching back and forth with hand-written notes,, so I'm not using it at all :((. I downloaded a lot of other apps and websites and I'm really overwhelmed because I've tried finding my own study routine or method that works for me. I don't really know which study method to prioritize or when to do. So I had a few questions if you don't mind. Do you think hand-written notes are better than writing on the iPad? Or should I sacrifice this to type them up on remnote directly to make flashcards? Do you guys feel a lot differently now about flashcards now? Is it still a really good way to memorize among other memorization techniques? Also, do you recommend I get remnote premium? There seems to be a lot of new features. Great video btw!! u guys r so underrated :)))
I think blurting is higher than you guys ranked it. I believe it's really effective for writing papers. When you really understand a topic and have details of it memorized, blurting when writing fills the gap of application which is useful for the field that you're going into. On top of it, it saves time because not only are you gaining application skills but you're also finishing your homework.
Cajun Koi Academy, I really like your content! Due to the good visualisation I was able to follow the topic back here in Germany.
Just one question: where would you RANK Cornell-Notetaking?
I feel like this video was good but had a lot of generalizations. Some people don't use the techniques in the way you say. It probably would've been good to tier each method in its best form, not in the form that people often use it in. This is because the method itself may actually be good if used properly. For example, I find it surprising that going to class would be considered c tier. Obviously if you go to class without priming your brain for it it's not that effective. In principle, though, I'm pretty sure making it a habit to go to class prepared would make it effective for learning.
With respect to music, I remember Mike said a while ago that music shouldn't be used because it turns off cognitive processes needed for learning. I agree. Although, I believe it's useful to listen to calming music when you're stressed and have to work. For instance, I'll listen to Lo-Fi while reading when I'm really anxious and it's useful in that scenario
I think highlighting the way that you described it is lower tier and I agree. If you're using active learning processes rather than passive with the highlighted material I believe it can be useful as a reference point. The internal processes are essential for any of the external techniques to work effectively.
I think I know where is the problem, in some countries like mine we study subjects with a language other than our native language wich make some problems as lack of words difficulty in anderstanding... In contrary if we studied those topics in our language it would be much easier. But it is what it is.
Planning, practice problems, Interleaving, Digital Flashcards based on my current situation.

Is it good to use flash cards in remnote through space repetition? Or do I need to look for any other alternative ?

RemNote is so much better than Notion.
Absolutely loving my learning journey with networking fundamentals! I've crafted a personalized strategy that combines flashcards, the Feynman technique, the Zettelkasten method, and a commonplace book. Here's how it works: I use flashcards divided into four quadrants. Quadrant A has everyday definitions, as if explained by Feynman himself. Quadrant B lists real-world applications, Quadrant C dives into why the concept is important, and Quadrant D explores connections between different cards.
All the cards are organized using the Zettelkasten method, allowing for a dynamic and interlinked learning experience. I also keep a commonplace book where I sketch diagrams and jot down my thoughts, further enriching the learning process. Finally, I digitize everything in Obsidian to keep it structured and easily accessible.
This method has revolutionized the way I learn-making it engaging, thorough, and surprisingly less tiring. Just thought I’d share for anyone looking for a more integrated and effective way to study complex subjects! 🚀📚

about to take an big exam wish me luck
Was it good?
TQ
I dont know why you consider repetition as waste of time, my experience has been that the first time I read a subject through lectures, i get it but also there are certain lines in textbook that i cant grasp, the second time I revise that subject during the revision tests those same lines make a lot more sense and the third time i read the subject before exams everything just seems so clear and understandable. This cycle has been the same for theee classes
I think if you do spaced repetition (like you reread the material the next day, so that your brain can have time to process the information while you sleep) or you use other methods to study before rereading (like you go to class or check other books/videos/sources that talk about the material) then I think rereading can work.
It's just not really worth reading the same material multiple times in a row, the same day (given that you actually do understand the material the first time you read).
I checked out your website, but in the survey was unable to move the 'rating' responses up or down. Don't know what the problem is, but doesn't bode well for further exploration.
I apologize for the inconvenience. You can email support@cajunkoi.com and send them the issue with a screen recording so they can fix it immediately.
Thank you.
Going to class as far as your grade is concerned can be pretty important especially if your teacher is old school.
It also forces you to work on the subject where you might do something else if you weren’t in class
It's definitely a good benchmark, but one should be very careful not to base ones whole school and career life on it.
Can someone help me study anatomy or at least tell me a method to learn anatomy effectively, I am just in my first year and this subject is very difficult for me and I have an exam in a week, please help me using Anki has not worked for me.
I used Anki. Anki is perfect for anatomy, you are just using it wrong. You clip an image of the structure you need to identify, and identify it. Plain and simple. I got an easy A in anatomy cause of that.
You could also use Noteability.
First I would scan the page of your textbook into the app. Next you can use those specificly designed study stickers which hides the name and shows it again if you tap on it. So it is basically active recall and you quiz yourself the whole time.
This is only the repetition part to make sure the information really sticks.
To get the information in your brain the first time, the loci method or mnemonic is really helpful. To break it down to you, you basically read the name and just associate the sound of this word with an image or something you already know. Or you ascociate the name with an other therm which sounds familiar. The best images are funny or sexual ones the weirder the better.
For example: Bradycardia -> Brady as in Tom Brady, he is a football player. To remember that Bradycardia means a slow heart rate, you could imagine an image that Tom Brady is a slow football player and you dislike him therefore. And now you created a strong image even with emotions which is hate in this case.
And you go on and on with these images. Especially in medicine one of THE key concepts are these memory places you create.
It is also important to know the latein vocabulary, so you really and deeply understand the location. And again you can learn this with the loci method.
Wish you good luck and remember repetition and lots of quizing is key!
Furthermore, yesterday I saw a video of Dr. Justin Sung and he said that the fun method to study anatomy is if you image that you will perform an actual operation on another human being and their life depends on it.
This may sound like a lot of pressure. But you will turn this into a game. You could also use your teddy bear as a patient and explain and image all the nerves or bones to him.
This method will also ensure that you will pay attention to the necessarity of the subject and why you should this instead of this.
There are also some other tips especially for med students in Justins recent video. Maybe check it out, but only in your study break not as a procrastination.
