How to Study 3x Faster in 7 Days (from a Top 2% Med Student)

Studying faster and better can boost your productivity so that you can be more efficient at university/medical school and school, giving you more time to do the things you care about. I give tips on how you can triple your studying speed to learn in the fraction of the time you used to take.

Hi, I'm Salim and I'm a Graduate Entry Medical Student in London. I've already done two degrees before, so I've learnt a lot about productivity and how to study efficiently and effectively. If you want to learn about how I maintain this productivity inside and outside of medical school, subscribe so that you can start applying these changes for yourself!

Would also like to add a few things to preemptively clarify - I have another video where I study for many hours a day instead of 2 hours - but this of course depends on what time of the year it is i.e. whether it’s exam season (where I’d study more) or the rest of the year (2 hours a day). Another thing is, when I mention letting things ‘marinate’ and ‘index’ in your brain, it’s similar in the sense to my video on reading where I mention summarising a chapter/page to reinforce comprehension - so these tips are transferrable between different tasks which makes them good (in my opinion anyway hahaha). Thanks for reading and I hope it helped xx

I wish I could work on maths assignments/theses in the same way. Maths problems are insanely difficult to solve at university-level. They're all proofs, and these take weeks, if not days, to write. Your techniques work well with medical sciences/humanities.

Note cards are an incredible way to apply this video. For my undergrad math degree, for every chapter we covered, I would write down the end-of-chapter exercises onto note cards with the answers on the back. After going through all the problems once, I would shuffle the note cards then work all the problems again.

As we moved into the semester, I would simply add to the stack of note cards with each new chapter. This helped ensure I wasnt forgetting anything from the early chapters. This system made finals so much easier because everything was "fresh" in my head still, and not to mention I already had all my note cards ready to work on.

I applied this method to every class I took, math or otherwise. Even in my advanced math classes for my Masters degree, where solutions could take pages upon pages of writing, I would use the note cards for definitions and partial solutions only, as best I could.

It works very very well.

Woah... I have watched dozes of study videos, many of which were from channels with millions of subs... but man, no advice has resonated with me as well as this and your other vid about 16x focus. Thanks so much man, keep it up.

Amazing quality Salim, these big productivity channels need to watch their back!!

Absolutely loved this video!
This actually made a lot of sense since I've been doing that too subconsciously without even knowing, but i stopped after sometime to change my ways, no wonder I haven't been able to improve that much. Guess it's time to bring back the old methods, your uploads just made my day!

I click to this video because of the thumbnals that said you studied 2 hrs a day, it's actually pretty honest and consistency leads to success.

I don’t think I can express just how much value this video has. I’ve been struggling to find the best way to efficiently
/effectively study and have searched and searched for over 3 years of studying for nursing. Now im currently in the program and I’ve picked up only scattered bits and pieces of information from what this video contains. And this video single handedly displays it all perfectly organized in 7 min…

Interesting practice, also, i've never heard about active synchronized recall! I had an insight that learning is basically keeping thinking about whatever you are learning, the longer it is in your head the better it stays but it's a bit effortful to keep it there first. I guess I now have word for it :)

I loved how you provided a framework with a divided triangle, in the 'read 3x faster' video, it was a great video. It may be too much to ask to do a thing like that often and you don't have to, your advice seems to be helping as is, although I must admit, I liked it how you gave it a diagram and a name, i.e., "Tri-Force Method" it was super comprehensive while also being actionable for the length of the video.

I'll be staying subscribed to you for sure, I hope you continue sharing honest tips like this! <3

You deserve much more attention really
And thank you for your content its really helpful I'll make sure to use active recall in my study sessions

[iznuu]

this video is helpful 😭! I've been searching and thinking about some ways to manage my time and finding ways that what ACTUALLY does efficient and effective studying means and how does it works, you're video served exactly what I needed!!😭 Thank you so much 💓

[Hamofire]

Finally someone giving it exactly how it should be! I was always trying to do high-yield topics in any exam, however it was always difficult to systemize it. You have effectively given me the hack. Salim Bhai I am now a fan of you brother, thank you so much !

[-ahmedhaitham]

Hey, that is actually high quality stuff. You deserve more subs.
