You know when you said you talk to nobody and teach them? I record myself teaching it to myself. “Okay future me! This is the first lecture on MRI’s” When I need to study for midterms, I listen to it again and get taught by my past self. This works so well that I cannot imagine med school without me teaching and being taught by myself. (Wow. What did med school do to me? xD)

You know what I LOVE about this video?!. Is that you said "you can learn it all"... you know?... I never thought of that... That I can have the capacity to retain everything if I put my mind and effort into it... AMAZING tips btw... love this video! ps: this is my 1st comment on KZread :)))

Thank you for reiterating that it is possible to get through everything...and getting through everything is the easiest way to do well! I don't know but I have some hesitation about getting through everything...feels like I will have nothing more to learn if I am done! But you are absolutely right, we're all capable of getting through everything and getting 100s...I needed that, desperately!!

Probably the best studying video out there on medical school, and I've seen plenty! Thank you so much for this!

Thank you for using the word confidence when aiming high. When I talk about my work ethic to other students or family I feel like a jerk and I should be more humble about it. I’m studying pharmacy and some of the other students are happy to get 50% for everything. And they’ll pass, get their degree and be half the pharmacist they should be. Thank you thank you for being a motivated, confident learner. Very inspiring 😊

I get soo excited seeing your new videos pop up! Keep killing the game! #goals

In one of the psychology courses I took a while back, it was statistically proven that when you teach someone something you learn it best. Awesome study tips! Im going to start to incorporate the visualization process by drawing now!

It's a lot. It's much more than most other majors. But in my opinion it was better than expected. Yes it's a lot. But it's doable if you get your shit together and put in some productive hours. If you spent 3 hours procrastinating of course you wont have 3 hours at night to go to the movies with friend or go out to dinner or just chill and watch your tv show in bed BECAUSE YOU ALREADY WASTED THOSE 3 HOURS! Duh. Also if you're interested in medicine the material is really motivating because it's practical. You never have to wonder like high school physics "wHy dO i nEeD tO kNoW tHiS!"

hands down BEST "study tip" video i've seen on youtube thus far! such great examples. many thanks from a pre-med bio major!

Loved your tips! I have tons of similarities and it's reassuring knowing that I'm doing something partially right and, better yet, how I can enhance my study methods! Thank you so much

It's so satisfying seeing your anatomy notes!! I'm so happy I discovered your channel! :D

Thank you so much! I'm in high school and I was having problems with biology, but I'm going to use your study technique from now on. 😊

I absolutely love stationary and the aesthetics of a pretty workspace but I LOVE how you just get on with it. True surgeon haha!

Thank you for hard work uploading videos and I admire your hard work studying and being a medical students thank!😙

this actually worked my whole life i love this video watching this since 2016 ,17 ,19 and again in 2020

I love this video soooo much, I love love love the fact that you say it’s possible to know everything !!!

These tips are the best. Literally, they are all great help and I've always used them. Kuddos to you Ms. America! Thank you so much. :)

I’m going to incorporate the teaching it out loud to someone else and drawing pictures. I changing my aim to getting 100% on my tests America! Thanks for the encouragement to not settle!!

Loved your tips! Please post more videos like this. Maybe one where you are making the notes and also one where you are teaching your "invisible" audience or a friend? Hehe thanks so much! Much love! :)

Hi America! I'm so glad I bumped into one of your videos :) I am an incoming 1st year medical student here in the Philippines and I am so nervous for my first day!! Anyways, we have same study methods except that I didn't color code much back in college, but will do now in med school cuz it seems a lot helpful!! :)

Hi america. I always speak to an not existing audience wile repeating my study stuff :) that´s so efficient You motivate me so much to study hard. Thank you

Thanks for this ! I’m in my nursing pre reqs. I knew about 90% of the information for my first test, tried some of your tips for the last 10% I was having trouble with and I got a 92/100!! Like you said know the material!!!!

And I love your videos they motivate me so much to study I used to be a med student but now I became a computer science and technolgy student and ur video actually helps in all aspects of fields; thanks a lot

Hello America, I know this video is very old but I explored your channel just couple weeks ago. Since this video is really helpful for me, cos I always have trouble about studying because I get bored very quickly like after 30 minutes 😐, I liked the video and I couldn't stop myself for leaving comment. I think you are very very sweet, kind, sincere and adorable person. When I watch your videos, like 3 videos in a day :) , I really wanna hug you everytime, I really mean that. Btw, I'm a girl 😆. I am not a medical student, just grad student on Production Management and Marketing, I mean we don't have anything in common but it doesn't make me stop watching you with pleasure. And I learn from you on studying, being dilligence, being enthusiastic and so on. Thank you for your efforts on KZread, I know you're always out of time and making and editing videos are not easy things to do. But you make me wanna study and keep going. I wanna take doctorate and now I'm working on that. Watching your videos makes me motivate. Sorry for my English, I haven't spoken English for a very long time 😊 So anyway, I love you and so much love from Turkey! Bye dear 💖

Amazing medschool video. i learn by teaching but while learning i rarely find someone to teach.ur idea of teaching is brilliant iam gonna try it. thank u.

Omg! All this tips are amazing! Thank you so much!

I literally watch your videos when I’m off track with school working 3 jobs and finding time to study!! 🤯

1st year medical student former highschool teacher here from Australia! I can relate to so many of these especially at 7:02...I still want my classroom haha! :) You're awesome!! If we were in med school together, I think we would be friends! Subscribed! xx

Heey!! Been watching u for 3 days now and let me just say u r an inspiration and I guess super relatable haha I want to take on medicine too! Thanks for the videos and bonus advices! Love from the Philippiness ❤

Hey America! Just watching this before my finals tomorrow😅 Gonna stay up all night but I have been studying for my exams very much like you. So it actually really does help to teach (my wall). #procrastinating Love ur videos btw💕

I completely agree with you about the pretend teaching!!! That works soooo so so well for me. And at one point in college I thought that it was so immature of me and I stopped because no one I knew does that, and I started getting bad grades but NO!! I'm going back to it!!!!! It works for me!!! It's not crazy! It's definitely better than getting a bad grade and trying to use a 'mature' study method!

I wish you were my friend to study with..so much positive energy.

Thank you for these tips. You inspire me !

You're so extremely inspirational!!

Wow you look gorgeous, bu seriously your tips are amazing! I also do rewrite the important things in my notebook, I find that it helps me to retain or memorize the concepts faster and easily. I don't know if you do that but I normally try to visualize or build up in my imagination the process, like for example in biochemistry. I like your teaching tip, but my only problem is that I've been studying mostly in the library and when I'm actually affraid to talk alone people will think I'm crazy, hahaha.

i loved the honesty and the spirit that smile and tongue is a killer😍

Awwww if I was in med school I would so study with you😂

what I do is, I have mirrors set up in front of my desk, and I keep repeating the concepts or whatever to myself until I feel comfortable with them. I think the common factor to all these similar methods is that we need to hear something out loud to learn it. I've tried studying in a library where I have to study silently, I thought I had everything in my head but I didn't, I need to hear it in order to learn it.

god bless your energy america

Yaas! I use drawings, diagrams (esp for subjects like nursing so I can connect ideas), speaking to an invisible class or just speaking out loud, and writing and rewriting my notes. also reading helps a lot! especially when I read something over and over. ;) -from a first year med student

I love your videos, good luck to you.

i'm super late to this video lol but YES to studying by teaching someone else, invisible or not! that has helped me so much and im definitely gonna use it going into premed next year!

These all tips are pretty much what I use to study( and am acing things :). I have a white board in my room and I always pretend there are people in my bed who is like big audience not just one person, so that makes me to try my best since there are a lot of people ( invisible tho) attending these presentation ( mock), so these habit makes me good at presentations ever since I was in middle school.

i love you n loved everyting u said...i just love to watch u

So, do you remember everything you study? Because I feel like after I'm finished with one unit and go onto the next once I forget everything I learn from the Unit before if that makes sense. Like If you were quizzed on something you learned from way beginning of the year, would you remember it all? Or do you feel like you forget some concepts? Also, one of the study habits from your video that I thought was pretty awesome was the teaching an invisible audience. I totally understand what you mean about understanding something more clearly when you teach it to someone. I can definitely relate.

You're so inspiring.. 💕

thank you so much for the tips♥️

ahahahaha omg i do that to ! I sometimes ask my mom to hear my informantions tho but mostly i just pretend i am teaching it to someone :'D

I loved this video.

Great video, thanks! Have you tried Anki? I'm not sure which one to use. Most vloggers seem to prefer it.

Thanks for your advise it helped me alot all of them

Keeping a Word doc of objective answers seems awesome. I'm always amazed that people can make those or Anki cards during lectures themselves, though! 8:46 Also, wow... are those 28 pages all dedicated to the same 1 hour lecture? Or is it for 1 block exam?

active learning ftw! new subbie :D

Love this thank u!

wow ...really you helped me a lot 😍

Do you ever stay up all night? or study throughout some time of the night? Ever since I started college, I've been staying up until 1,2,3 a.m. I totally get the part about not learning so easily at first glance! I'm someone who has to put in twice as much work in to memorizing everything. I'm taking BIOL 111, and we just started stuff along the lines of binary fission. It's only a history type class, nothing very detailed yet! I study about a week and a half to two weeks prior to our chapter exams. What classes were you taking your 1st year of undergrad? By the way, thanks for this video! Very, very helpful!

hmm, I started volunteering and shadowing during freshman year. thankfully, my mom is a medical assistant and is good friends with plenty of willing doctors to shadow. So if you have family/friend connections, I would start there! and I would ask asap, there's no time like the present 😊 (I only had 15 hours of doctor shadowing experience, I was never asked about it, admissions knows that doctors are busy!) As a junior, I got an undergraduate lab assistant position by mass emailing every research professor at my university, only 1 professor replied! but thats all I needed 😎 and I started volunteering in random clubs during freshman-sophomore year but didn't really commit to anything until I started volunteering at this hospital I love during junior year. You just search the volunteer section of your surrounding hospitals' websites and most of them could use the help!

yay!!!! new video!!!

Hello Beautiful !! Where did you get the SNOW DROP trick from? I would love to know about other tricks, that's primarily why I asked :) I'm currently studying for MCAT. I was taught that snow drop.

LOVE YOU!!!

I pretend to teach others as well when I study. I am in nursing school and I have had the urge to change to pre-med for a couple months now! I'm so confused but I like your vides regarding medical school, so thank you!

Oh i miss your medical school vlogs!

Thank you so much!!!

Oh my gawdd, you so harshadanzzz! XD

THANK YOU!! :D

I am a chemistry student and am addicted to your vlogs.

Like the teaching to the "class" I idea thumbs up

Thanks so valuabale experiences

I used to write everything 3-5 times. I should now, but I have a weird class schedule and don't as often as I used to.

This is so helpful even though I’m not in medical school! Haha

i do the same!!! i always teach my classes to nobody hahaha, for pathology it has been really good!

Love you so mush ❤

Who wouldn’t score an A with such hard work and commitment... anybody can do it, problem is putting in the work ...

you should make a night routine for medical school or a friend Q&A or another day of life at med school

I needed this like 10 years ago in Anatomy. Oh well.

Never heard about "stress eater".. Haha i am exactly like this 😬

you are awesommmmmme

i love youuuu ❤️

I need a bit of help here... I am in medical school, yet even though i do have exams from different variety of subjects, i mostly have speeches. Yes, speeches. They ask you questions, and you answer to them. For an example, they ask the whole region of some body part, and you have to tell everything about it, sometimes they even do it to confuse you. So, my question would be.. How do you cope with this? Exams are so easy, but when it comes to verbal exams... Ugh. Help ?
