I'm starting a masters in Psychology after 15 years away from academia. It's very daunting, but your videos are offering valuable insights and really helping me to prepare. Thank you!

Ro! I just found your videos and I love your energy and delivery of all your videos. I am considering studying psychology and so grateful to hear your real experience and as being in Australia as well. Thank you so much for breaking everything down into really easy to understand steps and language. Keep it up 🙏❤

Loved this vid! Very bright and cheerful :)

BIG help! my course starts in 2022 at Macquarie uni. As an international student, this video is a treasure! Thanks for the wonderful content!

This was so useful Ro! I'm in my first year of Bpsych and have always struggled with taking concise notes. Thanks for making this video! :))

The key point method you showed is kind-blowing. Yes I’ve heard someone say to do so before but your actual example was key for me!

Will be starting masters in Psych soon and it's been a couple of years since I've done formal studies. Thanks as always for the helpful content. Always a fan ✨

ahhh this has actually helped me so much! I'm about to start my first year in psychology after a 5 year break after highschool. It's made me feel so much more confident and calm

Im just finishing up my first year of my bPsych. Thank you so much!! Your channel is such an amazing resource

I'm on the second semester and feel like didn't do enough note-taking. This is really helpful, I'll be using Pomodoro timer as well from now on. Thanks!

This is a lovely video. I'm an undergrad in psych and this helped me understand how to study effectively. Thank you.

Is it possible that you can make a video about things you did in high school to be accepted into a psychology program in university? For example, extracurricular activities, classes you took, etc.This video was super helpful! Thank you!

I am in my first year in psychology, and I am scared as I am not doing good. I found hard the amount of the questions that we got on the exams. I am happy to found your channels.

I am going into my first year of Psych and Crim. This was very helpful, thank you!!

I just finished my high school final about a month ago, waiting for result. I wanna do bachelor in psychology. This vdo is really helpful for me. Thank you mam. Have a great day💗

Learnt so much! thank you :)

Thanks heaps, on the home stretch in my honours year now 😊

Awesome video, lotsa good tips. Reminds me of my uni days years ago. Thanks. =)

Thanks a lot for this video!

Thanks for all the helpful information. ❤

Thank you for this video ❤

I do really like the part that you said on the day before the exam start don't look at any note because when you see the paragraph that's will stick on our mind and that's what make us forget the rest. I've this kind of issue. I'm going to take my second BSc in Psychology at IUMW/UWTSD for dual award degree in KL Malaysia and I'll spend some semesters in the UK.

Thanks for making this 😊

Love this so much. Thank you

So attractive personality . I get many good points from this video.I will share it to my son who would like to study in this field.

I'm a bio student but am minoring in psychology. Lemme tell you it's quite challenging and frustrating that almost all psychology majors seem to be slacking off during lecture hall while I'm going crazy trying to write down everything the prof says lol! This is so helpful, thanks!😁

This was so well structured and informative Ro! Thank you! Will you do a video on essay writing?? This is an area i struggle in and would love to learn your process!

Love the mention of the racecourse but I'm now half way through my degree and we still haven't had a single in-person exam yet thanks to CoVid 😄 let's see whether I get to experience the famous Randwick racecourse exams before I graduate!

I wish I had followed all this advice during these 2 years of online school but instead I did all the things you didn’t recommend lol, it was very hard having no one to study and connect with and I feel like I hardly learned anything and I was so burnt out by last year.

Hi, Going to start uni in Monash Melbourne in feb, am really nervous but this really helped :)

Hmm, writing notes like you did in the start is good at the time, but i find it completely disengaging when coming back to study for exams. I personally remember things through how the sentence I wrote was structured, where I placed it on a page, what colour I filed them under etc. I've been in exams and had an answer on the 'tip of my tongue' , knowing where I wrote the info on my study pages, and was eventually able to remember the answer in this way- so interesting how everyone learns differently.

Hey love! Thanks for videos, they are very insightful. How much work do you think is do-able for a full time psych student? Studying a bachelor? 🥰

Hi Ro! I love your videos, they’ve been so informative especially since I’d love to pursue a career as a clinical psychologist :) I’m also hoping to study my bachelor’s degree of psych at UNSW too! If you don’t mind sharing, how did you perform in the HSC? Could you do a video on how you studied in high school ie. study methods, organisation, etc. That would be amazing!

Thank you so much for this video ! Do you have any recommendations for psychology related work experience? I'm currently in my 2nd year looking at UWA ☺

Hi I'm currently in year 12 in victoria and have always wanted to be a psychologist. I am absolutely loving your videos and was just wondering if you would be able to make a few videos on how the 2 years after becoming a general psychologist looks like, maybe explain the process of registering for clinical psychology? I was just a bit confused on that aspect. Additionally, if you could also make a video on careers or jobs that we could work in after simply the 4 years in a bachelor of psychology that would be great. Thank you so much!

Thank you, when I decided to take psychology in High school i thought it will be easy.... But it is hard to understand and did not do well in tests even every person in class say that it will s hard

Thanks Ro, i would love information on pathway advice. Im nearly finished 3rd year and deciding on applications for honours or combined 5th and 5th year. Plus trying to understand what happens after 6th year if I go that way. Do I need high grades from honours to masters? That type of info.

I'm taking a dual- credit college class in high school on psychology , but since i have to do it online and there are no recorded lectures. Do you have any advice for studying for an exam just by reading the text book?

I’m a freshman, but this summer I’m taking a college leveled psychology course in the span of 4 weeks. I’m nervous and I desperately require any learning tips n tricks.

Thank you for your vids and this one. I am planning to enroll in a grad dip of psych after Exercise and Sport Science. I am concerned about the psych writing style. Apart from your tip about getting other students to help, is there a place/org I can go to that can proof read my assignments and give me tips to improve them? I'm not really certain what I should be doing in my assignments for HD's. In the past, with my degree, my lecturers showed students examples of a pass, credit, distinction and high distinction level assignments and this helped greatly but I am not confident with writing APA style for psych.

@@thepsychdiaries I agree and actually think many of us don’t know how to study. For example, I realised that I didn’t know how to study when I noticed how top students always seemed to have study strategies. While their preferred study methods varied from flashcards to succinct notes to mind maps to whatever, the common theme was they all had strategies that suited a combination of their learning style plus course content/demands.

Any tips when it comes to taking notes from textbook chapters? Especially if they're very content heavy and very long. Thanks!

The study notes just made me more confused.

I HATE psychology :( like i get the concepts but there are so many and they all blurr together in my mind

Why study psychology, which is a study of another human. Why not study the creator, who created humanity? that’s much more interesting.

Jamworks is an excellent tool for note taking, definitely worth trying it out and can improve anyones grades
