@Jannes Ebeling Just like how we have physical features, music preferences that helps us relax and etc; our brain works a little bit different from others so that the concept of a study method may help everyone, a bit of tweaking and finding the method that works best for you is still the most effective ultimate study method that you should follow.

As a pre med student who uses most of their time studying I just recently figured out that I am not studying effectively and with my MCAT right around the corner it’s terrifying to risk changing my study habits because I’ve been getting great results however after hearing thoughts on not writing notes and how it’s been working well for you I’m going to give these tips a try

@xevve5959

i suggest not to try new things as you have your exams in the corner because trying new things if your exams are close will cause inconsistency in your normal way of studying , which as you said gets you good marks as well ( this was suggested by kharma himself btw ) so try sticking with your normal note taking or try if you want to just a suggestion . good luck

I am in my first year psychology and did the same in the first semester, endless note taking, which I realised after the exams, had been pointless. I now focus on relisening lectures, reading lecture notes and looking at past exam papers.

I'm a 3rd year psych student who struggles with ADHD, so reviewing lectures is a daunting task in itself, however I have noticed that when profs provide a single past paper I understand what I should be studying more clearly and can relate it to the lectures. Problem for me is, none of my profs provide past papers anymore and I cannot seem to find any that are geared toward psychology, have you managed to find any resources which provide just that? Thanks!

@@InversePacman Hey! I've not been through the UK or US university systems so not sure if this will be relevant or not (I am a psychology student though). When I didn't have access to past papers I would make my own. I'd go through the lectures and think about what the most important things to know seemed to be, then write questions covering those topics and also write out an ideal answer based on the lecture information. Then after a week or two I'd try to answer the questions from memory and compare my answers to the 'ideal answers' I'd written from my notes. If you have friends in the class it can be great if everybody writes their own questions and shares them because then you can see what other people think are the most important points and good answers to these. The first time you do this you could even make a time to talk with the lecturer or tutor to see if you are on the right track in terms of identifying the main things they are looking for.

Wow. This "not taking notes" thing is so relatable. I recently switched to not taking notes too when I realised the ultimate fellow that assists us in the examination hall is our Brain. All information needs to be stored there, whether through writing notes or directly from text books. So yea it is a waste of time sometimes and can give you a false sense of accomplishment Thankyou Nasir for these amazing and lesser known tips 🙏

Hello Divyani , Could you please explain me what was exactly tips he was talking about , i did not quite catch him well. He was just talking about overall knowledge. But i did not understand new mathods. And what kind of technics Could you tell me what we should do to learn proparly! And what exactly tips we should do and what mistakes we should not! Thank you in advance

I've just switched to taking notes on Notion thanks to watching your old video - I'd seen a lot of other KZread videos on it but it was your video which really let me see how useful it could be for me and pushed me to try it out. It's changed my life as it means that my notes are well organised and easy to find when I need them (such as when reviewing my answers to past paper questions).

Such valuable tips! I feel motivated and inspired to try different studying technics since I’ve always just wrote notes on paper or the computer. Thanks again Nasir, love your videos and this awesome community! Good luck to everyone else studying and stay safe! ✌️

Kharma your videos have helped me alot, I discovered your channel in 12th grade and now I am in medicine and anatomy is just alot. The amount of terminology never stops. Your channel and story helps a lot

The best possible advice to listen to just before writing my mocks. It just helps relief all the pressure. And just like always, thank you for the great content!! Keep it up

Great tips! Someone below said this too but I would love to see how you actively study and use past year papers (tips & tricks on this alone). I think the not taking notes part of your video is the hardest to wrap my mind around, for me. Congrats on the match btw!

The tips here are very helpful, thanks Kharma. I tried active learning by working on the past year paper but I had the difficulty to answer the questions as I have not mastered the concepts and linkage between the facts. I am wondering if you can make a video showing how you did it with some live examples? Guess it may help others as well. Thanks

amazing video! I reallly liked how this has basically reiterated all the mistakes I also make when it comes to learning. I guess this is a reminder for me to start following what I know works!

I see that jacket Nas 👀. Wonderful videos as always. I especially agree with the fact that past paper questions are essential. I started using them as my main form of learning for my 9th and 10th IGCSEs, when I watched your videos. Thanks you so much !!

You can’t imagine how blessed we all are to have u here. Thankyou for being humble - sharing ur personal experiences, alerting & guiding us. Please do keep on updating us👍🏽

Thanks for sharing your hard earned wisdom, Nasir! Good luck to all my fellow students out there!

Thank you so much! This was very helpful and eyeopening.

i remember watching your channel like wayy back but then it slowly faded away feels so gud to be back

Hi Nasir, I recognised myself so much in some of the struggles in mentality around studying for exams! It gives me more courage to try different techniques and see what works best. I feel like many are stuck in writing and typing notes and that so much emphasis is on this technique to learn for exams that we forget to study how to study and what works best for ourselves! Good luck to everyone in finding what works best for them! ;)

This video is so good 😊 I really liked it.

Thank You for your great video n life changing motivation ❤️

man your thought are so universal👍

Thanks for sharing this. Thought I’d do the same a little study group of mine teach the others out weakest areas e.g. I would teach an area of linguistics that I’m not confident with so the person in the group who is confident can tell me if I’ve fully understood it. We also teach each other what we’re really good at so the others can learn from us. It works really well and you learn a lot of extra skills too. To teach is to learn.

Best tips i've ever received. To be honest im going through the exact same mistakes you did. So, this was a very good mind opening video that can help you change your studying techniques for the best. Thanks Nasir for another grate vid

yay, new content from nasir, im so happy!

you really helped me bro! thanks..

Your the man. Needed these ideas been lacking on study’s just started college. Can work out for hours no problem but learning medical info an issue after two hours XD. This helped a lot 🤙🏻

Well I did most of it wrong and exactly how you said and am going to have an exam in two days. Watched this video because I felt like I haven't studied at all and just feel bad mentally. What hurts most is that active learning and spaced repetition are methods that my sister uses all the time. I knew it is better, but I was just stuck on this idea that I need a summary of everything and can only look at the questions / old or example exams if I went "through everything". It's so passive and time consuming but it's easier. Thank you for your advice. It was important to me to "officially" be called out doing these mistakes / inefficient methods.

Almost a Million Subscribers!! Yay!! Been here since 300K

The most thing I really guilty is taking notes, don't want to use active recall(cuz think taking note are more efficiently), and holding up using past paper(I mean by such as you said need to cover all the lecture note first then can use past paper). Thank you soo much for making this video that makes me realize it🤧

Finally.... I have been waiting for this vedio for the past 2 hours Keep going kharma medic Love from India 👍👍

After studying several years i have Also come to same conclusion. For me too it was hard to move on from my passive way of acquiring and testing knowledge.

i agree that that doing pyqs in order to understand the pattern of question and brushing up those particular topics could be beneficial.

Will definitely try the past paper method. Thanks 💕

BANGER!!

I had the same problem with hand written notes, so I tried not taking them and unfortunately with engineering degrees writing is a must.. it sucks how much time it takes but drawing diagrams, writing formulas and definitions is the only way I can understand and learn

in fact when doing the past papers first youll know what is most important when reading lectures or literature and youll recall that what you read/went through it in the past papers

Hey Doc 🙌🏻

This man is really boon for students.

I don't take notes anymore either! The only thing I write down is concepts I haven't understood yet. So, drawing out hormone interactions, any sort of anatomy that i haven't fully grasped yet. Apart from that, everything else goes straight to Anki!

I'm waiting for this notification for a long time, best notification ever❤

I like to take notes when the class is extremely boring, it helps me focus

It is so useful!

Study method question for medical students here; Suppose there's a topic I don't know, do I A) tackle questions on it by simply going through the material and finding the answer, or B) should I read material first? I'm stuck with a subject I frequently see questions I don't know the answer to, and if I read passively I'll eventually get bored and quit it.. Kharma, your videos always make me think about the ways I study, thanks a lot.

The biggest mistake I use to make was just writing down the notes in a lecture. This made it so that I was focused on transcribing most of the time, but it did not make me learn.

Excellent video. I have observed this myself

We need a vlog now 😁

Soon 1m ❤️🔥

I am a big fan and because of you I have come as a topper in my class

Great tips. You can apply these to law also. I will be starting lawschool in a few months. Great tips.

For my tax law exam i did past papers quite in the beginning when i started to study for this exam and i felt sooo stupid coz i didnt knw everytng, it took me sooo long to do those exams etc bt that was the best waay to study sooo much more efficient cz then i know where to focus etc. i got 95% with this technique

Thank you. It is a very useful vedio

Hey Nasir! I've been stuck in a rote loop. I don't know how I can get out of it. Rote loop + passive learning. Right after the exam, everything I studied is poof, gone from my head, I end up spending hours and hours again on the same topic for the next bigger exam. I have big exams coming up, I'm desperate to do well but nothing stays in my head with the large content for a long time, how can I help myself? Loved this video and rest of your content😊

guys we are soooo close to 1 mil, lets get this done already!

I totally agree with the use of past papers being really helpful, but unfortunately in my country where I study medicine there is no such thing. There's no place where the past questions are stored. Of course we try and ask students that have already finished the year about their exams, but professors know that and deliberately try to come up with some crazy questions every year so that we don't "just learn past questions and pass the exam". It leads to the questions being more and more specific and out of context, so its really hard to prepare for it. It feels like the significance of students knowing the most important part of material is gone and now they just try to make us fail. From what I gathered from your videos studying in UK feels more balanced and focused on practical knowledge instead of memorising every little detail that probably wont be useful when we finally get to practice medicine in hospitals.

Your honestly make you special.

The visual gag with “University Demands got larger and larger” is sheer genius. Well done 👏🏽

Thank you 👀
