1
This girl was in her flop era.
2
I was failing my exams, I was starting to give up on my dreams of going to medical school.
3
I hated myself and my self-esteem was on the floor.
4
Little did I know that I was going to go on and develop a foolproof study routine.
5
That would see me through five years of thriving at medical school, get my dream job as a doctor in London.
6
And the most shocking part, I was able to do all of this
7
while spending as little time as possible studying because I wasn't making any notes whatsoever.
8
I'm not naturally intelligent but one thing about me is
9
that I am determined and
10
if I have a goal I will go to the end
11
of the earth to work out the best way to achieve
12
that goal and luckily you're here so I get to share it with you.
13
This routine will cover everything you need to be doing before, during and after classes as well as in preparation for your exams
14
and finally what to do after your exam to not only ensure
15
that you get the best grades possible using evidence-based techniques
16
if you don't follow this method already it will cut your
17
studying time down by half here are the time stamped sections
18
if you would like to skip because you've had enough of my yapping
19
because guys this is five years of blood sweat
20
and tears i've got this routine down to perfection so I will not be sparing any of the nitty gritty details.
21
Part one, what you're going to do before your classes.
22
But Faye, why are we even thinking about before when I haven't even been taught the material yet?
23
Let's shut that down immediately because that is not how top performers think.
24
Top performers also understand that learning anything is a bit like throwing wet tissue at the ceiling.
25
One moment, I think we may need a little bit of a better visual representation of that.
26
Right.
27
Oh, okay, that one didn't work.
28
Yay!
29
Third one.
30
Oh.
31
If that did not make any sense, then I was trying to use the wet tissue like knowledge and the ceiling like your brain,
32
some knowledge like the wet tissue paper is going to stick immediately without much issue.
33
Generally this is the knowledge that is a little bit easier to understand
34
but some knowledge might need to be explained a couple of
35
different times in a couple of different ways until you finally have your light bulb moment.
36
The key with studying at any stage is being able to
37
reflect on what pieces of knowledge are like wet tissue paper now stuck to my ceiling not budging
38
versus what pieces of knowledge are falling straight back off.
39
The aim of the pre-class preparation is not to walk into your class an insufferable know-it-all.
40
That's a waste of your time and irritating for everyone else.
41
Prepping before your class gives you an extra opportunity to identify the topics
42
that don't come as easy so you know what you need to focus in on
43
and maybe ask for help with in the class.
44
Three simple steps I want you to take before going into your class.
45
Number one, you're going to download the lecture slides or lesson material if it's available to you.
46
Two, you're going to briefly review the material or if the material isn't available, do a tiny bit of research on what you're going to cover.
47
And finally, you're going to go through practice questions on that topic.
48
Again, I hear you say, Hey, what is the point in that?
49
I haven't even learned anything yet.
50
I'm just going to get everything wrong.
51
Get out of that mindset immediately.
52
If there's one thing that we're going to say goodbye to by the end of the video, it's your ego.
53
You need to recognise that if you're getting things wrong, you are learning.
54
And if you are getting everything right, you haven't learned anything.
55
Part two, what you're going to do during your class.
56
For so long, I found lectures a complete waste of time.
57
I zoned out within the first five minutes.
58
I didn't find them engaging.
59
And what do you know?
60
It's not just me.
61
The research agrees lectures are a passive form of learning
62
which basically means they require minimal work from a student's brain
63
and thus they are a really crappy way to learn
64
but lecturers and teachers are often really passionate
65
and knowledgeable people in their field
66
so I faced this issue of wanting to make the most out of my time
67
but also wanted to respect their passion and get the most from their expertise
68
and that meant finding a way
69
that I wasn't tempted to go on ASOS to do some online shopping within the first 10 minutes.
70
Step one, you're going to open Notion, OneNote or X tiles.
71
This will be used to track what classes you've been to and what topics you've covered.
72
P.S.
73
Everything that I'm going to show you, I'll add a template for that you can click on for free in the description.
74
Next, you're going to open your lecture slides or insert them into Notion, OneNote or X tiles.
75
Now the part that terrifies everyone, you're going to open Anki.
76
I procrastinated using Anki for the longest time because I didn't like the interface, it looked way too confusing,
77
but guys it really is the most efficient way to incorporate evidence-based study techniques like active recall
78
and spaced repetition seamlessly into your routine.
79
If you've never heard of active recall before this is basically actively recalling information as it says on the tin.
80
We're talking flashcards, practice questions, explaining a topic to a friend.
81
Then spaced repetition is basically Gradually increasing the time between when topics are revisited.
82
Say you're in medical school and you're learning about management of asthma, then you'll review your flashcards for that topic on one day, then maybe the next day,
83
then maybe you'll wait seven days and then maybe you'll wait a month.
84
Making it progressively harder to retrieve that information from your brain strengthens the neural connections
85
so you can solidify the information in your memory.
86
Anki is game-changing once you get your head around it but it is ugly,
87
it is intimidating, it is confusing and can be difficult to get your head around by yourself properly.
88
The class Mastering Anki, Creating a Flashcard System for Straight A's by Zach Hiley will
89
get you from terrified Anki sceptic to seasoned Anki pro in lessons that are only a couple of minutes long.
90
And you can access that class and many more completely for free
91
because Skillshare is kindly sponsoring this video
92
and they're giving the first 500 people to click the link in my description one month free trial of Skillshare.
93
When I first started medical school, Skillshare was my go-to on-demand platform that I could trust for levelling up my study skills by learning from experts.
94
My top five must-watch Skillshare classes for any student wanting to level up in their studying are as follows.
95
Guys, you might want to screenshot these if you want to make the most of your free one-month trial.
96
One, learn how to study anything based on science, effective study techniques and beating procrastination.
97
Two, productivity for students.
98
Study smarter, not harder.
99
Three, five-minute study motivation, Japanese procrastination cure, four notion masterclass, maximize your productivity and organization.
100
Five is the class that I've been taking most recently, how to study for exams, learn how to rank in the 99th percentile.
101
I took this class because this year I'm due to take more exams
102
and after a blissful year off of not taking any exams I wanted to see
103
if there was anything else I could do to improve my study skills
104
and if that class taught me anything it's
105
that we can always learn more and Skillshare really is the number one place
106
that I turn for learning whether that is in film, illustration, design, freelance.
107
So if you want to do Zach's Anki class completely for free make sure you're quick
108
because the first 500 people to click the link in the
109
description as I said will get a one month free trial of Skillshare.
110
So now you've taken Zach's class, you've mastered Anki and you're finally ready to open it up during your class
111
or lecture and this my friends is the exact method I used in medical school.
112
As the class is going on you're going to create flashcards in real time.
113
Okay in the age of AI why can't I just get AI to make the flashcards for me?
114
Three reasons.
115
Number one AI was not as accessible for me
116
when I started medical school so it isn't as tried
117
and tested but also number two retention is higher if you make the flashcards yourself.
118
The benefit of pre-made flashcards is obviously saving time
119
but by making these flashcards in our class or lecture that was time that we were saying goodbye to anyway.
120
But number three, most importantly, if I had a pound for every time I sat in a lecture
121
and I looked around and I saw a screen on Netflix, let's just say I would have enough money that I wouldn't need to be an overworked and underpaid doctor in the NHS.
122
I think that we can all universally agree that lectures are painfully hard to stay engaged with.
123
Creating flashcards during my lectures in medical school meant
124
that I had to stay engaged in the lecture because I was having to actively process the information to create flashcards.
125
You may try this method and hate it and I'm not going to take responsibility for that.
126
It was a godsend for me and if you don't like it that is absolutely fine.
127
But I do want to prepare you for the most common pitfalls
128
that I see and the reasons I think people give up with this method far too quickly.
129
Pitfall number one, you keep falling behind.
130
Guys, I get it, keeping up with the pace of the lecture whilst creating flashcards can be really hard and overwhelming, but this is not an excuse.
131
There is a stupidly simple solution.
132
When you start to notice that you're falling behind, you're simply going to mark down the slide that you fell behind on so you can revisit it later.
133
I just used to draw a little star next to the slide
134
and then jump ahead so I'm back in sync with the speaker.
135
Pitfall numero dos.
136
Faith, how do I know what to make flashcards on?
137
I'm finishing each lecture with about 200.
138
It is unsustainable.
139
This was me.
140
It was completely unmanageable
141
and it took me years to work out what information I
142
should be making flashcards on versus what information was just dead weight.
143
But there's two methods I developed to help with this.
144
Number one, the traffic light system.
145
You're going to get good at quickly assessing whether information is green, yellow or red.
146
Green information you could easily remember before the class.
147
So for example, if you're a medical student and you're in a cardiology lecture,
148
this might be what the ventricles and the atrium are because I'm assuming you were taught that in A-level biology.
149
There is absolutely no need to make a flashcard about that.
150
Yellow information is information that you may have previously been taught, but actually you needed that class to rejog your memory a little bit.
151
To continue the cardiology example, maybe you forgot what a QRS complex on an ECG is.
152
For yellow information, you might want to make a brief flashcard.
153
And finally, red information.
154
This is completely new.
155
Again, with the cardiology example, maybe you'd never learn about the management of a heart attack.
156
For red information, you want to consider making more detailed flashcards.
157
However, there is a caveat to all of this because you need to consider number Number two, is it even going to be in my exam?
158
Lecturers and teachers are often people who are incredibly passionate and like to include
159
additional information in their teaching to maybe give context or just because they're interested in it.
160
In the heart example it could be information into research about a new drug
161
that is only just making its way to human trials.
162
It's not going to be in your exam.
163
But how do I know what is likely to come up in my exam?
164
Hey, I'm not the examiner.
165
This is exactly why I said that you should do practice questions before your lecture or class.
166
Exams are basically pattern recognition, guys.
167
There are only so many things examiners can ask you and examiners tend to love to ask questions about the same things.
168
Topics that examiners love to ask about are known as high yield.
169
And depending on what course you're on, you may be able to look up online or ask students in the years above you what the high yield topics are.
170
In your lecture and from doing practice questions beforehand, you're going to identify the high yield topics.
171
And when you're in that lecture and you don't know what to make flashcards on, make the high yield topics a priority.
172
Part three, after class.
173
Immediately you walk out of your class and already you feel the information draining out of your brain.
174
I'm going to tell you how to stop that in its tracks
175
and make your life a whole lot easier when exam season comes around.
176
But first, if you are enjoying the video, then please let me know by subscribing or commenting so that I know you want to see more videos similar to this.
177
Step one, when you get back home that evening after your class, you're going to go back to the slides you might have missed
178
because you'd fallen behind and make flashcards on what you missed.
179
Step two, you're going to review the Anki cards that you made that day.
180
This is where Anki is so intelligent because depending on how easy or hard you find those flashcards to review,
181
Anki will automatically set a date for you to review them on.
182
So for example, if you find a flashcard particularly hard, you'll review it sooner.
183
Whereas if you found a flashcard particularly easy, you'll review it later.
184
But Faye, why do I need to do it on the same day?
185
I'm tired.
186
I just want to watch Netflix and get into bed.
187
I want to introduce you to this graph devised by Herman Ebbinghaus in the 19th century.
188
According to his curve, you lose 50% of all new information in one day
189
and 90% of all new information in a week.
190
And his study was actually replicated in 2015, which found similar results to what he did in the 1800s.
191
When I was in medical school, reviewing flashcards from three hours of lectures would take me less than an hour and trust me,
192
it's a lot nicer doing that than trying to cram.
193
So you don't have to do it the same day, but you're making your life a hell of a lot easier if you do.
194
Part four, the run up to exams.
195
Controversial, but when it comes to studying, I don't necessarily think that consistency is the answer.
196
Consistency, yes, in everything that I have just mentioned.
197
Practice questions before your lectures, reviewing your Anki every day, but max, this should be an hour Monday to Friday
198
and maybe a couple of hours over the weekend if you need to top it up.
199
But I think it's really important to remember that elite athletes have seasons.
200
The earth has seasons.
201
Our body has a circadian rhythm.
202
We cannot and should not be studying as hard as possible all year round.
203
If you're consistent with all the steps that I've already mentioned, you will already be in a much better position than most of your peers and you won't be spreading yourself too thin.
204
Your baseline level of knowledge will be a lot higher with minimal extra effort
205
but you should be stepping it up a gear when exam season comes around.
206
However, timing this well can be tricky.
207
What I tended to do was two months before the exam up my hours slightly to two to four hours a day.
208
I would also try and time this step up with my cycle
209
and how I did this plus my reasons are in a video
210
that I will put here if you want to learn more.
211
Then about a month before my exams I'd up to about six to eight hours per day
212
and my final phase the last two days before the exam
213
I would drop it down a gear slightly to make sure that my brain was well rested for my exam.
214
But there are a couple caveats to this.
215
One this needs to be adapted to you if you find
216
that you are not making enough progress or you have left it too late you will probably need to study more.
217
I also have a video all about cramming that I will link somewhere here.
218
Two, if you are feeling drained and tired or making silly mistakes on practice questions, you probably need to drop down how many hours you're studying.
219
Please, for the love of God, try and understand the seven different types of rest.
220
Sleeping or watching Netflix are not the only ways to recuperate
221
and if you want to learn a little bit more about that, then skip to 1 minute 27 on my five habits to follow for work-life balance that I will also link somewhere here.
222
Final caveat, regardless of when you are choosing to study,
223
make sure that you leave two hours before bed study free so that you have time to wind down.
224
In my fourth year, I was leaving the library at half 10 at night.
225
Then I was lying in bed wide awake, staring at the ceiling until 1am because I was wired and stressed.
226
That is not good for your brain.
227
There is extensive research into sleep's role in learning and memory formation.
228
So I was probably undoing a lot of the hard work
229
that I'd done during the day
230
because I wanted to cram in a little bit more studying into the hours of eight and ten.
231
So what activities did I do on the lead up to my exam?
232
Here is a real life example of my medical school exam season timetable that I pretty much stuck to every single year.
233
I split my days up into half an hour slots alternating between practice questions and Anki.
234
You can learn your Anki decks like the back of your hand
235
which is great for basic recall but
236
if you cannot apply them to practice questions
237
that are similar to the exam that you're going to sit you're going to struggle.
238
The key with doing the practice questions is making sure
239
that you're taking the time after the practice question to understand what went wrong and learn.
240
You're not going to get nearly as much benefit if you're just trying to cram as many questions in as possible.
241
To optimise learning from getting things wrong even more, I would create a separate Anki deck just to put in information that I learned from getting practice questions wrong.
242
I would also try and include one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon troubleshooting,
243
which is basically where if there were topics that I was consistently getting wrong on my flashcards or practice questions, I'd jot them down for my troubleshooting session,
244
which was basically where I dedicated extra time to mastering those topics that I was struggling with, doing practice questions exclusively on this topic, asking a friend for help,
245
or maybe watching an online revision video where they speak through practice questions and the answers for those topics.
246
As my exam got closer and my Anki cards were well and truly mastered, I tended to shift
247
and allocate more time towards practice questions until finally I felt like my understanding had been mastered
248
and I shifted again towards exclusively the timed mock exams to nail down the application of the knowledge and the timing.
249
Part five, after exams.
250
Babe, surely we're done.
251
Nope, because reflecting after an exam is the most neglected and easiest way to boost your exam performance next time.
252
Four things I'm going to need you to reflect on.
253
Number one, the most obvious, your score breakdown or the questions and answers.
254
Personally, in my medical school, we didn't have access to the papers after we had sat them, but I was able to request my score breakdown from my personal tutor.
255
This was like a glaring neon sign pointing to the areas I did worse on, thus telling me where I needed to focus my energy on next time.
256
Often subconsciously, our lazy, lazy, lazy human brain makes us gravitate towards studying things that we're already good at.
257
Because it's nice for our ego, it makes us feel good, it makes us feel smart.
258
The breakdown of your marks on the other hand is an objective assessment, giving you a blueprint of how you should be allocating your time moving forward.
259
Two, I'm going to need you to reflect on the amount of time you spent studying
260
and whether that was reflective of your performance.
261
In my first three years of medical school, I had a really healthy study routine.
262
I studied from nine to five, I treated it like a full-time job and always had the evening off and I did really well.
263
So tell me why in fourth year I guilt tripped myself
264
into studying 12 to 14 hour days every single day
265
because those were the exams that had most influence on the jobs
266
that we got when we graduated and shock despite studying a lot more hours I didn't do any better in those exams.
267
When I reflected on that exam season I realised that yes I might have been studying for 12 to 14 hours,
268
but because I knew that I was going to be in the library till half 10, I conserved my energy.
269
I wasn't doing as many questions.
270
I wasn't concentrating as hard.
271
I was making silly mistakes.
272
I wasn't as focused and efficient as when I was studying nine to five.
273
Had I not taken the time to reflect after that exam season,
274
I may never have made that connection and taken that really important learning point in all the exams I sat afterwards.
275
Three, I'm going to need you to reflect on whether your performance aligned with your goals.
276
You may be someone who just wants to get by and pass because you're busy living your life to the fullest, or you may be someone who wants to get in the top of their class,
277
or you may be someone who needs a specific grade in order to apply to your dream job.
278
The important part is this is completely unique to you.
279
I never had ambitions of being in the top 1% of my year, but I knew that I wanted to get a job in London and the cutoff mark was 91.
280
This was my primary focus and it guided how much of my life I was willing to sacrifice for academic gain.
281
It's easy to compare our performance to others but your only concern should be whether your performance is congruent with your goal.
282
Four, please for the love of God reflect on who you can learn from.
283
A wise man learns from his mistakes, a wiser man or woman learns from the mistakes of others and this isn't mainly about mistakes,
284
it's about reflecting on who did well and why.
285
It's also not about competition, it's about helping each other.
286
If you know one of your friends did really well in a topic
287
that you did pretty badly on and you did well in a topic that they didn't do so great in, help them!
288
And if they're a good friend, they will help you back.
289
Ask how they studied, what resources they used, whether they would like to go through a mock exam over a nice iced coffee.
290
You will both do so much better and make your lives easier by working together and sharing the load.
291
I studied with all my friends from medical school every single year.
292
We all helped each other out and all of us ended up getting our first or our second choice deaneries.
293
We've covered my exact study routine, but if you're someone who struggles with procrastinating your studying, then you're going to want to watch my 10-minute routines beat procrastination.
294
Or if you're a busy girlie who wants to do everything but never seems to have the time, this is my video on how I make time for everything even with a full-time job.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
