8 study tips *proven by science* 🤓 | memorization techniques I use for language learning & school

My chemistry teacher used to tell us this all the time - "work smarter, not harder", but I didn't really take her words to heart until after I left her class (sometimes it takes a little while for the wisdom to sink in).

Once I started to pay attention more to HOW I studied rather than simply for how long I studied, I realized I could get the grades I wanted in way less time 🤯 So in this video I wanted to share 8 different tips for studying efficiently that'll help you get homework done, study for tests, and memorize information faster.

Hope you all are doing well 💖

I don’t know if this helps somebody but here is the timestamps

0:49 Take breaks. 25 minutes intense, 5 minutes off
1:31 Active recall. Quiz yourself with flashcards or notes
2:25 Repetition. First repeat after 10 minutes, then 1 day, then 1 week, then a month.
5:11 Adjust what’s not working. If you always just repeat and keep forgetting, try a new method. In most cases it’s Not your fault you’re not learning, it’s the method.
6:46 Memorization techniques. Try to see the similarities between what you’re going to learn and the things you already know. You can also make a rout where you walk in your house and make connections to the things you’re going to learn. When you’re writing a test, you can walk the rout in your mind.
9:58 Focus on what’s difficult. You don’t need to repeat the things you already know, because you already know them. Instead, focus on what you don’t know.
10:53 Do practice problems. Try making your own exams to test if you actually know what you need to know.
11:31 Study schedule. If you do a schedule you will probably not forget to study and you’ll automatically find more time to do other things.

At this point I really feel YouTube is more concerned about my studies than myself. Lol.

[CullenQuigley]

okay seeing you make a study schedule made my inner geek scream of happiness. glad I’m not the only one who likes simple planning 😌

[blqcklemon]

The fact that I’m watching this instead of studying smh..

[julsiejulia]

does anyone just gets anxious when a video writes "study smarter, not harder" and end up watching it eventhough its the same technique? just me?

[mmmrrr]

Basically I memorize for the test then forget everything after the test is done.

The most important thing is to practice what you learn! I cannot stress this enough! Read the chapter ONE time, then spend more time just jotting down everything you know. Your brain likes to think it knows everything, so when you skim your notes or reread the chapter your brain picks out the things you do know instead of the things you don't. This is from many years in the psychology department-- the more you do this in the beginning, the less you will have to study during exam season!

HER: "take breaks"
ME: *takes a I hour TikTok break every 5 minutes*

[jiminssi]

TiP
information + emotion= long term memory you guys just like you remembering how you got rejected by your crush
so learn something with emotion it would be long term memory. Btw i forgot where i heard it from.

pro tip: dont give yourself too much work, you will probably procrastinate like me.

*ok can we talk about how amazing beatrice is and how she puts SO much time and effort into all of her videos??* i love her, she’s such an inspiration for my own channel <33

Bold of you to assume I can stay focused more than 1 second
And like quite literally, When I read a book I try my best to stay focused but I end up (while still reading) thinking about other stuff(and when I say that I both read and think of something else at the same time I don’t joke around. And since I’m not paying attention to what I’m reading and I’m thinking about something else I always am like “ wait what was I reading?”)

[utrxnkc]

When you realize that you actually already practice the techniques since you were young so your just left with the fact you have to start studying.

Me: *Looks at study vids*
Nerd Me: *DANG it's been a long time since I have come back*

The fact that school focuses on student’s
Memorisation power more than intelligence

[em-ilrk]

tips if you’re a procrastinator like me:

1. break up the assignment of task into small pieces.
2. Tell yourself that it’s easy or it won’t take very long.
3. Organise before doing homework, it gets you in a productive mood. ie: filling in your planner, writing out a wish list or to do list.
4. Listen to music that doesn’t have any lyrics or isn’t in your native language. (Basically you cant sing along or get distracted by)
5. Clean your surroundings before starting. The less the clutter the more your mind will be clear.

You can get through this! 💞

im the type of person that watch how to study videos instead of actually studying

[minalovis]

I think it's impressive how good your videos are. They're not only visually pleasing and professional, but also content-wise incredibly informative and well-researched. I bet you put a of work into them! Thank you <3
