    Dr. Jubbal, our school's testing format is short answer questions (tests heavily on PBL but relatively less application comparing to MCQ) instead of multiple choice questions (we still take a 25q NBME afterwards but it's nog counted towards the grad, only for national comparison) I feel like this test format doesn't prepare us for STEP. What do you think?

    Humor does elicit emotional responses that make you memorize the material better than in a dry environment where emotions cannot exist. There's also "rediscovery" where you somehow found a fact accidentally and are able to contextualize the info in your own experiences.

    here are the things i do to study in med school: 1. anki flashcards every day (i've missed maybe 10 days in 1.5 years) 2. watch youtube vids to give me the big picture on a topic 3. study in a group where we VERBALLY teach each other the material (very important) 4. utilize any practice questions i can find, whether they're from textbooks, other classmates, online, etc 5. occasionally i take handwritten notes in a notebook if something is especially important or confusing to me we're fortunate to be living in a time where understanding concepts is much easier due to the amount of resources at our fingertips, but the memorization aspect still requires a lot of work. it's really not that bad if you primarily use flashcards, but passive reading SUCKS.

    The good: 1. Comprehension - go to class - use a variety of resources (e.g. textbook, videos...) - if doubt: ask teacher an organized list of questions/study with a small group of friends (1/2 people) - apply the information with practice questions 2. Memorization - past papers - spaced repetition software (like anki & memm) 3. Consider these two consideration 1_ study scheduling (use focus time to study and take breaks) 2_ choose the correct environment to study

    This is my method: I write questions down on a paper, and under the question a write the answer (the answer is always something like 5 sentences. These questions are something like: 'Why does this happen' 'Explain this' 'What is the result of this'. The days after that, I read the question, put my hand on the answer and I say the answer out loud, like I am explaining it to someone else. This works really good, I get the highest grades of everyone in my class.

    I became a A student after I: 1: review the information I learned straight after class. I do this by turning it into a flashcard on quizlet and then I would study it over and over again until I got 100. This would take about an hour a day after every class. This is why I always made my class schedule with about 1-2 hours spaced apart. 2: Cramp the info before the exam. Optional step for those who want a deep understanding: Pick a student that is struggling more than you and ask them if they want to study with you. It's important you don't pick the lazy kid because they will not do any work, talk the whole time instead of studying, and sometimes even expect you do some work for them (personal experience). Try to pick someone that is struggling and genuinely wants to get better. Then in your study sessions, take on the role of a teacher as you teach them the information. You have room to make mistakes without being judged because you are studying with them, but you are forced to become the teacher. Taking on the role of the teacher is a great way to learn because you have understood what you are teaching not just memorize it. I also find it to be really fun.

    1. Comprehension ( understanding info effectively ) : lecture, textbook, KZread videos Office hours with professors or TA small group of friends to teach each other Then practice your info in questions 2. Memorization Practice problems who help in apply info Anki ( do flashcards daily ) Use good flashcards ( don't ask very broad questions ) Active recall via space repetition 3. Study scheduling ( your energy & focus ) ex. Exercise, chores

    How to “train” yourself to be more productive during the day? Like you said in the video understanding when you’re able to be productive matters. And I’ve found myself to be most productive at night, which causes me to be tired during the day especially while at lectures. So is there an effective way to change this?

    Dr. Jubbal, Your videos have been a huge help to me. I’m a high school junior (aiming for UC Berkeley/UCLA) initially looking at orthopaedics, gastroenterology, or radiology, but these videos have both expanded my outlook on possible careers AND helped guide me on a productive path to achieving my goals. Thank you so much for this channel.

    I learned well by creating my own questions, such as what is this, how does it connect with the other the material I've learned, and why is it Important? What's it's impact on the overall system? I used to write connections in the margins. So if it was cranial nerve X affects swallowing, I'd also write how it also affects the movement of the vocal folds. I think it's important to ask questions to understand how it works, why it works, and what's its significance to the greater system.

    I just took my first semester of college and men what a rollercoaster it was. I did amazing in my not science base classes, did good in chemistry, but Biology almost killed me. There was just so much to memorize in such little time. I tried anki but failed to get consistent with producing and making anki cards. I didn't know what questions to ask or how to organize the information. Also because I felt that I had so little time to do everything reallyd on passive learning to get through. It wasn' like I did horrible, but it wasnt good enough and being me that Im so competitive I want to do much better. Anyways just wanted to say thank you for doing this videos and helping us out. I hope to keep learning from you.

    For complex maths and chemistry equations; memorize the equation, but then also the steps to solving the equation (e.g. solve x, then y, then insert both back into the original equation). Also understand what the symbols mean and how/why to rearrange the equation when you're instead solving for a particular symbol.

    2:13 You make a point about questions, but what happens if the questions you pose are really detailed? And I agree with you, broad questions can be large, but it depends on how YOU decide is the right depth for the question. For example i can pose broadly "What does a nephron do" and just say "it filters the blood and reabsorbs what is useful", or I KNOW that I have to do know more, and start explaining myself (aka Feynman T.) and elicit all the transport mechanisms. I usually start with broad questions, and if I think there are some details points I need to know, i will put an extra question about that. I love your videos, keep on with the great work!

    Notes _ If you're already studying a few hours a day you should concentrate on the quality of the time spent instead of the quantity. _ Passive way of learning (rewatching, rereading or relistening to the material) are useless _ Active learning methods are fundamental to efficient studying _ Active recall is practiced best with specific questions on small pieces of knowledge (the opposite is especially problematic while studying lists) _ Effective learning is comprised of comprehending first and then memorizing _ To comprehend better you should focus on the source of information better suited for you, then try to clarify doubts that remain after the first exposure to the material, then apply the information using practice problems like practice tests and tests from previous years _ Memorize using spaced repetition software like Anki: do your flashcards daily; use good flashcards (specific and short questions) _ Use these study techniques in a context that facilitates learning: schedule your study according to the fluctuations in your energy; schedule breaks (use them for doing chores or other activities); study in a location that is better for you.

    Wat I normally do is during exam period I would make a different set of notes that contain the important facts. Use revision guide or practice tests. I would also go through previous practice problems that I got wrong. I would also use videos or apps online to understand as I can't understand my teacher in school.
