I got no As in school but I'm graduating med school next year AND doing my USMLE. School was really just to help you find the right way to study. nothing big. not even university grades are that important, after graduation what will matter most is how and what you've done to contribute to the community (doesn't apply to all fields). you could grad university with a thousand As by spending 100% of your time doing so, but someone with a bit more researches that you with a couple As only will actually get the job instead of you. wish people knew the reality behind school and university systems and how people actually get a job way sooner. wish I didn't waste all my mental energy trying so hard to get 100 instead of 99 on school work, it means nothing academically, only implies personal improvement. good luck to everyone.

Literally just about to start year 13 next week. I've given my self the goal of finishing the year with two grades higher than AS, which would be 2 A* and a B. Idk how that's gonna happen when my organisation skills is zero and my memory and discipline is on par with my tennis skills - which is terrible. So having said that, I'm gonna watch this video and give it some actual serious thought. Thanks in advance.

Just a quick question: How many hours of revision do you recommend putting in at Yr 13, my school recommends doing 30 hours however I believe that that is a little too much. What do you think?

@JL-ky3zm

2 жыл бұрын

Doesn’t matter how many hours it is, it just depends on the quality of revision. It could be 30 minutes of Anki some nights or 2 hours of practise papers. You can’t set a time limit as it doesn’t allow you to fully focus, as you’ll constantly be focused on the time. Hope this makes sense

Mine also recommends between 27-30 hours, but quality over quantity as you may know. For example in a day when you don't have school you could do: 2-3 hours past papers/Questions papers about a topic, 1-2h Flashcards, 1-2h Reading the revision guide and watch videos about something you didnt understand. You could change the hours also.

Really nice video

I wish this video was streamed 2 years ago, 2 saal se aisa kuch khoj raha hoo!

Honestly, having daily goals on paper is so simple yet so genius. Personally, I have a lot of issues following specific study times because I'm generally really lax about time management, so a start time of 6:00 can easily get procrastinated to 7:00. This is coupled with how when I DO start doing something, I find it really hard to stop myself for anything (except using the bathroom), and that kind of makes me not want to start doing anything, especially on big tasks. In addition to that, I also generally have no clue where to start, making me less likely to start even more, and all those factors combined result in a horrible study plan. However, by breaking tasks into smaller daily goals (which I really should've done earlier), it's going to be way more lenient being lax with my time management, as well as making me much more likely to complete tasks, since it's smaller to complete. Also, on paper I don't have to keep swapping tabs or turning on my phone to check, since I can just flick my head. TL;DR I'm bad at studying and these tips might fit my general study approach way better
