REMEMBER TO DO THE FLASHCARD IN THE SECOND STAGE OF STUDY!!!
this is my step of
1st stage- read+understand the lecture (know which part is important- I often use a small amount of time to do it cause I want to study effectively)?
2nd stage- make the flashcard (1-2weeks before your test or exam, if you struggle to study- do it as early as possible)
3rd stage- learn from the flashcard- active recall

4th stage- review the flashcard- see whether the answers need to be edited or simplified

Make sure the flashcard answer is short! not a whole ass sentence
If you don't even understand what you are putting inside the flashcard there is no point in doing it, so understand the content before starting

The key: Start early!! + Take your time to study effectively!

As someone who's watched SO many videos on study strategies and flashcards (med school insiders, Justin sung, you guys, etc.), this is such an AMAZING, succinct and organized video! like just WOW

I can tell you guys did your research from all the diff strategies you pulled from various sources, great job!

One mistake that I have done with flashcards is that making the cards too lengthy. Flashcard should be short and precise. I made each and every flash card containing 3-4 huge paragraphs which resulted in spending more than 8-9 minutes on a single card. Reviewing other cards become near to impossible as I did not have that much amount of time left to review others. This resulted in stacking of cards as they were added at such a rate where covering of old cards was not possible. So I really recommend that your cards should not be more than 2-3 lines. Luckily I was able to remember most of the cards as I used various memorization techniques such as Acronyms, Mind maps and Stories. But my most of my time was spent reviewing the cards and not learning new stuff and gradually I started falling back.

Honestly these study skills videos are one of the best on youtube

I've literally surfed the internet so much but none of the videos make sense to me. But this was the ultimate study technique video and I love the way you explained how to make and understand flash cards. TYSMM!! <3

[angeloperrone]

Could you create a step-by-step study guide (from comprehension to memorization)?

[rebeccapatterson]

Love this video!
I have always been a flash card person but I always felt like something was missing to my studying efficiency.

Under the "Studying the Flashcards" section, it's amazing how you've placed some practical examples of what James Clear talked about in his book--habit stacking and temptation bundling.

Hi! can you guys do a video on how you would use RemNote and Justin's Mindmapping technique together? Thanks!

Great video! I am studying for my boards right now, and I have found that making flashcards in an iterative fashion is also of high-value. From question banks, I have a study session where I am 'brute force' putting images/words onto the flashcard. I am focusing on creating a specific question on the front and have the 'rough draft' of the answer/details on the back. After I am done with this input session, I go back and tweak the answers [another way to interact with the material], and try to add/delete or even combine. This may seem like an extra step, but it forces me to consolidate & relate the material yet again before I will add these flashcards to my daily review. Thanks for this video!

rule number one in preparing for an Exam. Don't assume something in your textbook wont be on the exam just because it wasn't mentioned in class.

[dogethsamurai]

A potentially interesting video for students that I'd love to see is how to read and learn from research papers!

[farida]

Can you do a video on how you study clinical subjects like internal medicine, surgery etc ?
