When I look back on my life on the tips I’ve received for learning, I remember two things (interestingly both of these are mentioned in this video). First is what my high school biology teacher told me: “ Repetitio est mater studiorum” (repetition is the mother of learning). And Feynman’s technique, at the heart of which is “teach the material to yourself or someone else” (basically, “test yourself and don’t be afraid to be wrong”)

Repetition in the sense where it's retrieved from the brain and not re-read.

Also sleep is crucial. The night before an exam I make sure to sleep and it helps. Pulling all nighters doesn't work for me. Explaining the concept to someone else is how I test myself on how well I understood the topic myself.

Such a confidence boost that these are all things I’ve gotten in the habit of doing. Another practical tip, I’ve found in boring moments like walking between places and as you’re falling asleep are the best times to check your knowledge and see what you remember. By describing the topic to myself when I’m bored I feel like I’m making the content feel like an entertaining story.

Thank you TED-ED for this incredible video! I've always struggled with studying effectively, but these tips have truly been a game-changer. Learning about testing yourself, interleaving concepts, and spacing my study sessions has made a world of difference in my understanding and retention of information. I can't believe I didn't know about these techniques before. Grateful for the valuable knowledge you've shared!

I can vouch for these techniques. After all of these, just before the exams, I personally imagine myself giving a 5 minute lecture on random topics/chapters. This not only makes sure that I mastered or memorized all you need to know but builds confidence and motivation.

Even though I have already seen a lot of things about "learning how to learn", this Ted was refreshing and it gave me a rethink of certains topics (the how, what, and when to study). This Ted was very well done as always! thanks!

A few elements that support studying for exams early on are: -You get to develop studying as a habit, which leads to a more focused and successful study. -You get enough time to review and adapt your study strategy and to understand what is and is not working in your study sessions.

"Forgetting is the friend of learning" amazingly true. I had an incredible memory as a kid and never learned how to study. There came a point where remembering wasn't enough. Now I start with the absolute hardest concepts so I understand why I should bother to learn the easy stuff. I think I'm still relying too much on having a good memory because the suggestions here sound great but I've never used them. I am still a chronic crammer at heart

Although many of us or most of us know the techniques mentioned in the video, not too many people are aware of how to intertwine them to achieve the best results. Thank you, TED, for sharing this excellent video.

I was always average at school until I failed. Then everything changed: a quiet study space with no interruptions, a study schedule, doing homework/small tests everyday helped a lot, but, for the most part, it was my commitment to improve that really did the trick.

2:34 This is so true. A valuable lesson I learned in my times studying. So many times I just read the answers instead of testing myself without the answers. In the exam, I forgot even the simplest of informations. Like the value of a constant or formula or how it's applied. While I'm just reading, it feels like I can do this and that. But when presented with only the question, I get doubtful and can't remember well.

love how this was posted when i was studying for several of my tests and i didnt see it until after my tests today

I love how short yet helpful this video is!

I’m seeing this a week to my exam , glad I’ve been doing something correctly. I was very surprised when I couldn’t recall answers after rereading a text multiple times so i started summarizing points and testing myself with the help of another coursemate instead. I feel how much my retention has improved

the illustrations are gorgeous!

really appreciate this video! flashcards helped me a lot during exams and i haven't done them for this new course, so i should get back to it! i also think contextualising the knowledge helps, eg practising clinical skills on familiar people, so you're more confident with members of the public

Learned these techniques twenty years ago in my Cognitive Psychology course. Revolutionized my studying. Went on to graduate school and my doctorate using these methods.

I'm about to write my promotional exams. I need this more than ever.

Thanks ted ed I've an exam in a month and I'll try to use this method

This takes me back to high school and college. I always figured that having a good night's sleep before an exam, or even having a nap in between studying factored into my success. I often found that when I'm sleeping, not only do I retain the material that I was studying but I will also attain the knowledge on the material that I have been struggling with. The all-nighter wasn't really my thing going into an exam. But I was doing it more for projects, reports etc.

If you use an orange pen to write the term you want to memorize (and a normal pen to write the explanation next to it), then cover the page with red, transparent sheet, only the words you wrote with orange pen disappear, so you can make notes and quizzes at the same time! It’s an useful technique many Japanese students use to memorize English vocabulary, and I assure you it works for other subjects like biology too :)

Wow! This logical approach to gaining knowledge really helped fill in gaps and comprehend my brain better. Its rightly said that forgetting helps us to expose ourselves to the situation and learn effectively. Thanks for providing an explanation for what I was consistent with!

I think it's really interesting to understand how our brain really performs while trying to study for classes. I have always used the testing method and used programs like quizlet which allows you to make online flashcards. I never knew that integrating different subjects during study session is very helpful. Now that I think about it, most of my classes, especially science courses, have some similarities in certain topics and areas. Integrating different subjects during my study session can help me connect information and concepts.

This year I am preparing for the highschool exams and I really need tips like this. Thank you. 🤗

Thank you for sharing this knowledge!

See the problem with this advice is that we often don't get to choose how much time we have between each exam. A below-average course load, with two science classes and one LA, will often lead to 1-2 major exams per week, which severely inhibited spaced study capability: Obviously someone who crams in the two days before an exam won't do as well, but in modern education there often simply is no alternative.

Hmm I always thought note-taking was the best method as it engages what you see and hear then physically write them down. The writing process helps with the memory. Since humans are instinctively verbose, it helps that note taking lets you filter out and contract only the relevant data down. This more simplified set of words helps reinforce what you understood or misunderstood but also makes the things to remember far more concise than entire paragraphs from a professor or book.

Yes and no. If you are in a lecture, for example, converting information into your own words / example would be beneficial, but copying verbatim (even handwritten), won’t help much. Most of the time, converting or adapting ideas requires time, so it’s not likely to be done “in the moment”.
