OMG so like i had already learnt some of the topics beforehand throughout the year with no revision. The afternoon and night before the exam, i alternated between sleeping and revising. It held the information so well like got the whole book down, got the 3rd highest in class without much studying and best results I have ever gotten in the subject. I really attest to sleep and study method for that reason because it goes from short to long term memory. I would have to revise again for next exam but it i were given another test right now, I wouldnt do bad at it. Plus I always get a good nights sleep before an exam, that night i got about 9 hours,

Hmm I always thought note-taking was the best method as it engages what you see and hear then physically write them down. The writing process helps with the memory. Since humans are instinctively verbose, it helps that note taking lets you filter out and contract only the relevant data down. This more simplified set of words helps reinforce what you understood or misunderstood but also makes the things to remember far more concise than entire paragraphs from a professor or book.

I remember when I was in first grade my teacher slit us up in two teams. We got in two lines. The teacher held two math flash cards. When the student gets the answer right they go to the back of the line. The first team where everyone had a turn wins. I think. I m not super good at math today but I think that s cause my health problems distracted me. The math flash cards might be stressful for some people, but I think learning is more fun when it s turned into a game.

I have this genius roomate in university who scored 97+ in calculus, physics and chemistry. From this video i understand that he has mastered the importance of testing himself and storing information permanently in long term memory. If i want to tell him something academic related he always tells me to wait first let him try to guess. He also likes to create a connection between something he learns newly to something he already knows to facilitate easy recall

Forgetting is the friend of learning amazingly true. I had an incredible memory as a kid and never learned how to study. There came a point where remembering wasn't enough. Now I start with the absolute hardest concepts so I understand why I should bother to learn the easy stuff. I think I'm still relying too much on having a good memory because the suggestions here sound great but I've never used them. I am still a chronic crammer at heart

2: 34 This is so true. A valuable lesson I learned in my times studying.
So many times I just read the answers instead of testing myself without the answers. In the exam, I forgot even the simplest of informations. Like the value of a constant or formula or how it's applied. While I'm just reading, it feels like I can do this and that. But when presented with only the question, I get doubtful and can't remember well.

When I look back on my life on the tips I ve received for learning, I remember two things (interestingly both of these are mentioned in this video. First is what my high school biology teacher told me: Repetitio est mater studiorum (repetition is the mother of learning. And Feynman s technique, at the heart of which is teach the material to yourself or someone else (basically, test yourself and don t be afraid to be wrong )

Studying engineering means learning to solve problems. It s not memorization to learn to be an engineer. It s learning how to solve problems.
This video assumes memorization is learning. Engineers learn how to solve problems using techniques and methods of solving problems.
When presented with an unsolvable problem, as an engineer, you apply practical science, and you solve the problem.

'Significantly better' doesn't mean 'much better', in a scientific context, it means that an effect has been observed and that it is unlikely (usually 5% chance, that the observed effect is due to chance, even a very weak effect can be 'significant'.
This is misleading. How effective was the change in study style? How much better did the 'good studying' group do?

I'm an intermediate English learner. Would you mind if I ask you a question? These phrase 'medical resident' and 'surgical residence', these phrase involve the word 'resident' which means living with. Would these phrases be derived from this meaning. Etymological dictionary, I heard the word on VOA (10/11 bedbugs in France, I haven't ever seen it.

The fact that i clicked mean that i watch a video instead of studying means i distracted myself from what i had to do which also means by watching this i forgot whatever i was trying to do which also means i Ill click on the next video and wont study and thus i will have a 0 thanks.

let me conclude somehow:
1. test yourself, reviewing book is not efficient as having challenges
2. when testing yourself, better use different topics to force brain to extract knowledge
3. giving studying a good rest and having gaps between studying

These tips are a great reminder that effective studying involves more than just passive reading or memorization. It requires active engagement, interleaving, and a willingness to break up your study sessions over time.
Thanks for the helpful advice!

Instead of flashcards (which in my opinion are useful only for specific subjects, solving problems and writing down answers for relevant questions, without cheating of course, and then checking for their correctness is also very effective.

My problem is not how to study, it's why I'm not patient to learn and read. I want to memorize and realize everything by just reading it once. Also, I always skim the passages and it's really hard to read slowly so I can understand the concepts

I think the best way to learn something that you tell someone else about what you already learnt. Your brain activates to find the easy way to explain for the person in front of you. It also a good way for repeatition and summarize everything

interesting advice, I find it useful for memorizing, but what about logic or creativity? for example how can I study to learn certain areas of math or programming where you need to come with applications and memory is not that useful?

Even though I have already seen a lot of things about learning how to learn, this Ted was refreshing and it gave me a rethink of certains topics (the how, what, and when to study. This Ted was very well done as always! thanks!

As a Zoology student, I can relate with the every bit of information provided in this video accurately. Heck, even the examples are from animal physiology. Thank you so much for helping.

one group had 1 day to study and the other 4 weeks
Obviously the group with 4 weeks is going to perform significantly better. That doesn't prove any of the techniques you said though.
