I WAS LITERALLY THINKING ABOUT HOW TO DO MY REVISON OMG THANK YOU!!!

[frankbongio]

Leaving a comment because Justin is handsome in a suit with the watch, and the good taste in sour cream chips I can see in the background. Good choice Dr Sung. Good choice.

ngl. I may have been that "studying in the exam student" today. This morning I learned off a whole essay in another language (400+) words in just about two hours.
I have to say, it's all thanks to you Justin. Your technique of modified loci and memory palace was so incredibly effective. I always thought I had a horrible memory but now I realise I just memorised things wrong. Love your content, keep it up!

[yogeshlakshman]

Actually I was planning to do my revision/ rethinking process in the coming days for what you said as brain dump mapping, but thanks Justin for letting me know that it exists and that it’s useful for higher order learning.

understanding why things are things are related, how they are relate, and in what context do these relations occur.

tbh i was already doing mind maps and thats my main of way of learning - but I got stuck now with the memorising part so I think I ll try the tutoring thing again and also try to make my mind maps clearer, more prioritised. helpful stuff

[sadies]

Justin’s videos are awesome but Justin’s videos while taking his course >>>>

[AngelsAndButterflies]

Perfect timing! Going to start revising tomorrow 🥰

[williamlevii]

Thank you for this. You answered some questions l didn't know I needed answered!

[GPxNABrothers]

Hello Justin! I've been devouring everyone of your vids, rewatching, sharing with friends. Really, i think you created a so powerfull image of learning and studying for me, that just connected the dots - i mean, i read about learning a lot, and everything just seems unconnected, fuzzy, but the pair encoding-retrieval just works as a metatheory of why and how all sorts of techniques works. A huge thanks!

Now, i have to ask: do you thinks its possible that in a given scenario, it would be more _efficient_ to study with lower order learning techniques? V.g. you have a lot of material to learn, and the test is known to be a very superficial/dry (like asking the literal <text> of a given source).

My islamic studies exam is tomorrow, let's get it done 💯 ( insha'Allah)

[bernardopapadakis]

How can I organize when to revise? Can I use anki for this porpuse? Insted of putting all the informations there, just creating one card just to remind me to review? And then revising trying to teach someone, or trying to rewrite the mindmap you made, or somethint like this?

[deepthix]

Pleasee make a separate video on how to teach a topic effectively

[wingso]

I wish this video was uploaded a week earlier cause I just messed up my exam😂

[asran]

I'm teaching organic chemistry to the 5 year old and his parents are coming to put me behind bars they say it was cognitive abuse

[passionatechaserstudy]

Sometimes while carefully watching the video i get distracted by dr Justin's handsome looks 😅
Thanks for explaining how to revise
🙏😊

[leeuwbama]

3:13 ) Could you please clarify what are past paper questions as opposed to regular practice questions?

[periteu]

¿Do you have a video about how to use the teaching method to understand a topic?, ¿what if you dont have someone to teach to?, ¿can it be implemented alone?

[skiteflies]

This was great for me, especially as a confirmation that I’m going down the right path and I can sort of see that with my practice scores. One thing I struggle with is the timing of when to do your review sessions. Right now I try to do it once a week for the past week and then a broader one for the end of month, but is there a certain spacing that is the most effective?
