For personal use

1) do qs instead of just reading the notes. It'll help in active recall

2)only check the notes after trying to solve multiple times with multiple methods

3) Feynman technique, just record what you're studying. Physics, chemistry stuff and listen when you're free.

4) devote majority of your day for question practice

5) repeat your mocks for increasing speed

6) don't loose focus. You must do this rn. So just enjoy, listen to music, treat it like a video game.
Ignore other bs. This should be your only priority.

Don't fuck up.

I've been going down the rabbit-hole of study tips but found it hard to wrap my head around them all, this video summarized everything that I've read, seen and heard. Thank you so much. I will save this video and come back many times.

this video literally save me from my midterm exams, and the way he explains is direct no wasting of time just straight to the point, love it men.

Active recall
- make quizlet or flashcards and "gamify learning"
- Learning curve, knowledge is forgotten unless constantly used

Feynman technique
- Teach information in easy terms to a friend or to no one and record yourself


Spaced repetition
- works well with active recall
- Want to be able to do a "quizlet or homework" 3 times, spread between 3 different days

Priming
- Visualize, close eyes and think why this is important, visualize you knowing the material
- listen to music, my opinion 40hz gamma music, but personal preference is key
- get your brain excited to study

Optimized breaks
- time spent studying doesnt equal material learned
- use naps or nsdr to your advantage

I have 5 weeks until my exams begin, I’ll use this video fully to help me, current grades I’m sitting on from last year is : E in Geography, C in Computer Science, Merit in Business 1, and Pass in Business 2. I’ll come back once I get my results.

[rubixcubesolver]

Collin, ur giving the actual tips that u use. Its so good that even my 1 year old sister knows mechanical engineering!

[coloroozearts]

Thankyou for this study tips... These are very different from other study videos🤞

This was what my school did to all of the students and I thought it was crazy to drill past papers and tons of questions but yeah I did get straight A’s. Can’t believe I was already doing this 20 years ago.
