And if you listen to these videos now in 2020, add a bit of spaced repetition and active recall with those condensed notes and there you go. Perfect method.

Hey, I just wanted to say thanks! I'm in first year and just had my first week of university life. It was hell. I'm already behind on my work! Seeing your videos now makes me think that I've been giving myself a lot of excuses to not bother giving it my all. I totally understand what I really need to do now -- thanks to your videos! I guess what I'm trying to say is thanks for the reality check :)

Doc Ossareh. I love you for this man. I'm well into my BCH undergrad and I'm feeling overwhelmed with school and all the extracurriculars. I will try your method and hopefully ultimately save some time.

Wow, thanks so much!! I'm currently studying for my pilot exams and would like to get the most out of all that I learn, your method will work wonders for me.Now I can study like my life depends on it and in this case it really dose. Thanks your the best!!! Would love to see a pic of what the notes look like.

I'm so glad I discovered your channel before starting undergrad- your videos have been SO helpful. Thanks for taking the time and effort to make them! :)

Fantastic video my friend! Highly informative but dreamworks. 👍

Thank you for verbalizing the method so well. I stand by the efficiency of this method by utilizing it many times to make it though some of my most challenging courses. All I need now is some Parmesan cheese + French Bread --> Yummy Onion Soup for my brain!

Hi!!! i am a fresh graduate student, now just preparing for license examination, your videos and tips are incredible, encouraging, amazing & motivating, helpful too. Bundle of Thanks :)

Thanks a million!! Im going to medical school next year, and all your videos are extremely helpful and inspirarional :) ~ Love and regards from India!

I don't know If your actually going to read this but this was really helpful. I have exams in 3 weeks and I feel like if I make these notes than I will be able to study properly and understand all the material. Thank you!!! :)

Awesome explanation! Can't wait to start this next semester!

This video is gold!! Thank you so much!

The most important thing is to read first everything and underline the important and take notes next to the text, after this you should allow yourself to take notes! Otherwise you end up copying the textbook. I would also recommend to read your notes several times but, make flashcards afterward for the most important facts! The context is their in your notes but the facts you will learn by testing yourself over and over again

for me the core is whatever i highlighted in my book and textbook and felt like it was very high yield the layers that i add are usually more information i learn through doing practise tests and previous questions i'm in my second week of uni now as a premed and i have bio & chem and i'll try doing your method alongside the one about how to study science courses (for my chem course) THANK YOUUU

Ive been doing this method and people keep on telling me it takes too much "time". Id rather go through work everyday rather than pulling an all nighter that leaves me very tired on the day of exams. I guess we all have different ways in studying and not one traditional method suits everyone. But its nice to know you used the same method. :) Thanks for this video :)

i am sure you are an excellent Doctor. your videos are very helpful.

great video, thanks for the tips

You are phenomenal.

This is sooo helpful. Thanx.

you are awesome! Thank you Doc!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

You're awesome thanks for this :) ill be sure to try it out :)

Hi, thanks for your tips! I was just wondering, would i be able to get one of your condensed notes you made ?

You are awsome!!!! Thanks for the tips!

Thank you very much.

THANK YOU!!

I do my condensed notes on the spaces of my books' pages... :) this is helpful doc! Pls give us an update of how your life as a med student is going, and some follow up videos on how to stay motivated in medschool. :) thanks!

Thank you very much! This was very helpful for me! ;)

Thank you!!

THANK YOU KING

In terms of order, what should you do? In another vid you said you should do problems after problems after problems. should you make notes first and then do problems?????

Thanks doc ✌️

Can someone PLEASE post a picture of some actual notes so I know what this method actually looks like?

write whatever YOU think you need to remember, but probably wont 2-6 months from now. As time progresses and your understanding of the topic grows, add more to it / reword things / remove things you have mastered. It could start with a bolded term and its definition. Then after a few days / week youve maybe read more or heard more or something clicks so you go back and redefine it in your own words or expand on the concept.

can u help me..where do u get power points??? or online lectures or useful sites for studying medicine..

thank you!

thank you very much sir

Can you please tell me what kind of subjects this method best works on, sciences, history, etc.. thank you

You sir are a genius :)

Love it ♡

great great videos, a real shame more people are not learning these important skills and noit watching your vids

I'm really enjoy your video...... thank a lot... my worry getting lesser..

It will depend. If it something small then I just read it a few times. But if I'm sitting down and going through a lecture or slides then I will use the note technique.

Thanks. :)) Plus from my experience the faster you come back to revise the lecture, the longer it's going to stick in your brain.

your videos are entertaining

I like your 'Onion Method'. Reviewing & adding at regular intervals sounds awesome, thanks. I also read research indicating that the optimal intervals most conducive to long term recall is: Day 1 First review Day 3 Second review Day 6 Third review Day 10 Fourth Review I don't know if the intervals apply well to medical learning though. Do you have an opinion on that ?

I really like these videos. Could you do one on how to best take lecture notes.

So do you type the basics, keep going through those, then edit the document and add more and more wherever it fits in? Or do you add it at the end so the beginning is the core and the last parts are the additional info? Your study techniques have totally changed everything for me, thank you! I was so inefficient before. The tip about making the flashcards questions that require real knowledge on the material is what did it.

I did this method for my med school courses and I did a lot better in my courses by studying my condensed notes rathe than studying the 200 page lecture notes handed out for each module. I tried to get my notes onto two pages front and back for each lecture.

I imagine that using the whiteboard etc. does break up monotony and keep you interested as you have said. How do you / do you incorporate the whiteboard into condensed notes? Or do you do all condensed notes on the computer then use the whiteboard when reviewing them? Thanks!

Thanks man. I can vouch for your method. A lot of the top performers at my optometry school started using PPT2One to import their lecture powerpoints (w/ notes) into OneNote, then exported all that text to Word to make the "core" you were talking about. Do you mind if I use you as a reference for a video I might (or might not) make in the future?

Your vids are a cure to insomnia, get this patented asap!!!

Hello. Am having some easy lectures at the moment do i have to do this strategy?! Am more of rephrasing and combing two lectures together and am finding it helpful. But i think for the harder lectures i have to do this. Would love to know what do you think.:-)

The video is in the works. I'm working hard to get everything done. Stay tuned.

Doing a BSc in undergrad, there are many lab classes which are 2-3 hours long for each subject we're doing, so in total, there are about 24 hours of class per week. How might you suggest I use the remaining time efficiently? I ask as you have not seemed to mention labs in med school. Thanks!

Docossareh can you please show me any of ypur condensed notes? it will be really easy for me to create them.

How would you make such notes with Chem? Is it worth writing out examples of different problems, or just sticking to key terms and definitions?

M the three years student and it hard for me to do the condensed notes, but at the end i can do it. And thank you for your advice, oh one more thing how long can u do it, for me it took me for almost 3hours, if u have any advice for this please help. Thank :)

HI I'm from Norway. I'm going to study medicine next year (if I get good grades this year) But I have a big problem right now:all the study tips I used before does not work anymore! And I'm terrified and stressed!, I used to have top grades, but now my grades have gone very down I have almost tried everything! But I’m going to try out your study methods, and I really hope that is something that going to work for me, and will improve my grades! Thank YOU! :)

Im in my final yr med school and i just stumbled on your channel😭

Then what do you do in lecture? Do you take your own notes?

U rock !!!!

Do you usually do condensed notes everyday (after every time you read a new section)?

Condensation, in my opinion, is about summarizing things. It's like a string on your finger that is used as a reminder of some bigger idea, ideas, concept, or concepts. And from a small thing, you ABSTRACT from that small bit of information in an attempt to recall the complexity of details from that small bit of information. I often used notecards in my back pocket as a way to accomplish this goal. It's effective with practice.

Ready set layer!

Can you give us the list of resources that you read?

I'll agree with you that sometimes you do not have the time to take notes. However, condensation reflects on summarizing things and abstracting away in order to enhance recall. It's a memory technique to enhance recall. However, I'll agree that sometimes you have an exam coming, there isn't the time to condense and practice recall, and things are "on the fly." In time crunches, a person is going to want to actively practice recall, in some instances, while attempting to learn the material.

What notes is best for high school students.

how do you have time to do all that? It's too time consuming, to go over and over and add more and more

👍

Core Details.... reminds me of those old sit-coms & after-school specials where a student writes his 'cheat sheets' on his hand or sock to cheat on a test and finds out on exam morning that they don't need the 'cheat sheets' after all because the act of writing them seared the info into their head.

You actually read textbooks in med school?

The way I write notes, doesn'T allow to add details later on (not enough space left in the first place) unfortunately. I will work on it. But how do you store / collect all your notes? I'm really bad with this kind of stuff!

+Ike Haze Thats one of the draw backs to making notes on paper. I ran into this problem in Chemistry, where I initially wrote down what I needed to know to pass the exam, but wanted to continue to add on material to increase my understanding rather than memorizing the things I needed to pass. As someone mentioned, you could write notes on your laptop. This allows you to go back and edit without a problem. However, if you're taking a class that involves drawing structures or doing calculations, as seen in chemistry, that doesn't work very well for many people. In this case, what worked for me was writing notes on a blank sheet of paper, but saving a lot of space in-between topics. You could even go so far as write one topic for every two pages, that way you can add more material to it and have enough space to make the notes neat and organized, while accumulating more facts about the topic. Hope that helps.

I did a video about that, not as good as what he will probably do. but it could give you some ideas until he makes his video.

So, what do you do when you don't have time to do condensed notes?

Could you show a picture of your condensed note?

"Use crayons or fingerpaint" lol I love this guy

Condensed notes seem quite detailed lol. But thanks, these tips are great for any course on any level, especially undergrad!

How do u know what's high yield and what's not? That seems to be my main problem.

Hi. Sorry for not responding. What is your question?

Shriek is DREAMWORKS not Disney!! Lol love your tips though:)

Do practice problems from the chapters, see what you get wrong, and write what've you learned from your mistakes into your notes so you don't repeat the same mistakes

What if no lecture powerpoints are given?

DUDE you dont reply to me still! I work so hard in school but still no suffice please respond
