@@AshishKumar-ok4uy Active recall just basically means testing yourself. Testing yourself as you study + once you've completed a subject. For example, when you read a paragraph, close the book and ask yourself 1. What have I just read 2. What are the key ideas 3. Can I say I've fully understood it Same applies if you're watching a video. This is only a memorization technique though. The most important thing is that you've fully understood it.
@@AshishKumar-ok4uy The way I take notes are by making mind maps + questions. I don't just copy down what's written on the board. If your in a lecture however, it's a good idea to take notes the standard way to keep you awake because It's easy to get sleepy. But if making notes the standard way works best with you, that's great. When you have a giant syllabus, it can seem daunting so take a minute and start scoping your subjects (breaking it down into subcategories)
@@reminemi1153 nvm but why do I feel like you guys are lying ? If not, then tell me why he's different from other youtubers and how exactly your grades got changed?
i honestly enjoy watching your study motivation, i began watching them in 2019 and i went from a 1.3 to a 3.5 GPA and in 2020 i watched some of your active learning study techniques ,where you spoke about the pomodoro technique and i got an average of 93% for my exams ( i highest exam was a 99%, i was in disbelief actually) and finally got a 4.0 GPA. I am really looking forward to your methods as I have a few tests coming up and so I would like you to share more content.
Whenever possible, I like to study the subject of a lecture BEFORE the lecture. I observe that this allows me to pay more attention, follow the explanations better, interact more and ask questions to the speaker. It really improves my learning.
Pomodoro actually helps us to make a study habit. We really don't need to practice this technique for a long period of time. I also started to use this method last month. At first i instantly stopped studying when the break started. Gradually my focusing time increased and since last 3-5days i can sit on my table for 50 minutes to 1hr. Then i take a 20-25 min break.
Yes! Pomodoro technique can be really distracting sometimes specially when we finally enter "the flow" BUT what I personally like to do is to set longer timers then. For example if I intend to study for 25 minutes but end up getting a lot focused on the task I will study untill I get tired or finished and take a longer break. It looks like 45/15 or something like this. I believe this technique is formed to make us enter the flow and can be really useful for people who gets distracted easily.
I believe It's kinda hard to say that the focus duration of a student is 25-30 minutes. Pomodoro may be a good technique for a student who is a beginner at studying in the beginning, but after that the duration can extend. It's about getting used to studying and the lifestyle comes with it.
I'm a visual learner. So I prefer using mind maps. Other than that, I have the same opinion as you did for the other study methods. I use active recall alot and it improved my grades from like 30% to 80%.
@@DiegoFernandoCastanomosquera By recalling the information you just read and not rereading it. You use methods such as making questions, speaking the information like your teaching, writing it down, etc.
Learn something hard, then summarize it and teach someone. Feynman technique Use past papers to be familiar with the exams. Time yourself. You can analyse you answer UA-cam, should be used for exams for study motivation, understanding key concept or to dive deeper. And for study tips. Keeping self desipline. However it can be passive and you may forgot. Implement what you are taught. Rote learning is not a smart way of learning it might be boring. It's repeating what you've learnt Mind maps present things in a visual way. Social learning is implementing the fehmey technique it's more fun and engaging. It's easy to get destructive however if y'all are focused and motivated it's great Active recall is reading then closing the book and remembering what you've done i.e past papers. It saves alot of time. It is more effective then note taking and everything. Read actively not passively Pomodoro is studying for 25 minutes with 5 minutes break. However when you're concentrated and the timer goes off you'll feel less concentrated. Loci technique is for visual learners by walking around. Flashcards are good and they can continue any subject matter.
I use the pomodoro technique every single day!!...I just use the 50/10 timer as 25 minutes are way too short....and if in case I am a lot focused and the topic I am reading is a way too easy...then I just skip the break and increase the next break by 10 minutes and so on....so it has proven to be a lot effective for me for studying continuosly for long hours....and I ❤️ it... By the way, I am loving the new content on your channel...it's helping a lot....😊
The primary method for me was making sure that I was current on all assignments, actively participating in lectures and recitation sessions. Depending on the course, study groups were beneficial to develop methodologies for approching difficult concepts. Never forget there is some degree of "gamesmanship" that can have a major impact on the outcome of an examination.
Feynman Technique, Active Recall and Pomodoro Technique are my fav study methods and thank you for uploading these kind of videos. lots of love from Sri Lanka
definitely AGREE about EVERYTHING, this video is pretty complete (trust me I watched soo many study methods videos until now lmao) and it explains all the positive and negative aspects !! great job, hope it'll help some people :)
I use the past papers , active recall , UA-cam videos to make some of the boring subjects such as history fun and easy to remember , and the Feynman technique
Thank you for this video! For my studying, I mostly use Exam past papers, UA-cam videos, mind maps, flashcards, and active recall. These work the best for me
I find it hard to organize the flash cards and manage the revision time I believe just marking stuff in your book and actively recalling them the day after is more convenient
I have been unintentionally using active recall all my life, and i tell you that it does not disappoint. I graduated elementary as the 2nd TOP student. And last year, in 7th grade, I was the TOP student(in my grade level) and got an average of 97 which was 2MORE points than our 2nd top student(95).
I agree with studying sample tests. the problem is I am learning subjects now that there is no sample tests (these are not college courses). Some have suggested writing your own questions (with my limited time that would be an impossible task, as there topics are very broad. But if you can get sample tests for your subject, I would recommend it (even if the questions are not the same as what will be on the exam, I still find it very effective study tool).
During online classes , there are many things I cant understand just by listening to them. So I started to watch youtube videos , but I really get distracted ALOT😅. so I promised to myself that i will not wate my time watching unwanted stuffs☺. I created new accounts both on youtube and insta just for learning and motivation . It took me some time to get used to it , because many time I just cant resist my willingness to watch some random videos on UA-cam, and I did broke my promise sometimes but now iam just used to it and that being aware of the consequences if I continue to live with the same habits, I entirely made a big and good change to my life and " I AM HAPPY THAT I THRIVE TO BE THE BETTER VERSION OF MYSELF " 🤩 Dont mind me , I am just appreciating myself for the change I made🙂😅
Hey man. Just found your channel. I have studied everyday. But didn't remember any of what I learnt. I have my preliminary exams tomorrow and 20 marks from those will go to the final exam result.

Interesting. I personally only studied like 3 methods discussed in this video (Rote, Feynmann, Flashcards) so knowing that there are many more is quite nice. But I feel like study methods aren't really universal. I think different concepts would be good with different study methods. So yeah, instead of picking just one or two methods from this video, I think I can either combine them or pick one/some of them depending on the lesson to see how effective they are for studying that concept. So it's kinda like having an arsenal of weapons, if that makes sense. Anyway, thanks a lot for this video! I'll try to use them and see what works and what doesn't work so much for me.

Pomodoro technique is a great technique to start for begginers. Instead of 25 min you can just adjust it to 10 to 15 min with 5 min break in between. This helps those people struggling with getting stuff done but is to lazy to do it. But I agree with mike regarding the 25 min. breaking your flow. After that flow is broken it is very hard to get in 😔, this usually happens to people who is already used to studying or working, people who usually procrastinate and feel lazy usually doesn't feel that 25 min is too short....as long as their not cramming for exams and deadlines😂😂

i personally use the active recall technique mixed with the pomodoro technique
Allright so I wanna share with all of you a study method that I'm working on, based on something I used in the past that worked really well for me and based on that video:
Note: This process starts when i'm in the office ready to study, so it doesn't have stuff like taking notes.
1. Start the Pomodoro Timer (based on how long you're able to stay focus)
2. Begin the Organization phase, when you start to organize all the gadgets you'll need, all the references you will need to search on and all the arguments you're going to run in.
3. Type a waterfall scheme
based on some questions that are the most important:
Principal argument
first key answer
second key answer
details
(and so on)
4. Try to do the Active Recall method to see how much you remember and for helping your mind have a better view of what's going on.
5. Use the Mind Palace to memorize the Keywords from the Key Answer from the scheme, then check wheter you have memorized everything or not; if you have done everything correctly you should have memorized everything in your palace.
6. For the long-period therm use the spaced repetition for reviewing all the concepts. With that last move you will use toghether: the mind palace, the active Recall and the Feynman Technique.
Let me know if you like this program, what you don't, what's your method or whatever you want.
Also sorry for my missed fluency, english is not my main language and I'm still learning it.
