1
So you've got exams coming up and you're just not sure where to get started with it all.
2
Are you on the right track?
3
Should you be doing something differently?
4
What are the most high yield topics?
5
Have you studied enough or do you need to kick into gear and put your foot on the gas?
6
It's also difficult not to compare your technique with other people on the course
7
or to doubt if what you're doing is actually going to work.
8
What is up guys, Karma Medic here and welcome back to another dose.
9
If you've got exams coming up then this video is for you.
10
It's hard to know whether your studying technique is going to get you the grades
11
that you want or need
12
so here are five life -saving exam tips to help you
13
get through the exam season my first tip is to have a plan
14
and to have a plan early it's
15
so important for you to know how your course is structured
16
and when your exams are you also need to know the type of exams you're going to have
17
so in medical school for example most commonly we have single best answer questions
18
or mcqs we have oscies anatomy spotter exams and
19
so on i think students really underestimate how beneficial
20
it is to start early with understanding the basic layout of your course
21
and when you can expect to be having your exams so
22
that you can be better prepared for them it's easy to think
23
that your exams are at some point in the summer
24
and just have that sort of in the back of your mind
25
and then before you know it you're a month away from exams
26
and you're cramming in all the work and you're just really stressed
27
and it's a bad time i find
28
it helpful to meticulously plan my year at the start instead of waiting for the last term
29
and then panic ensues it's always worth remembering
30
that we're really good at talking ourselves into
31
and tricking ourselves into the belief that we have lots of time ahead of us
32
and that we shouldn't worry or we can leave planning until tomorrow when we all know that tomorrow doesn't really come.
33
The ideal situation is to use the information on your course and the dates of your exams, other assignments and reading weeks,
34
etc. from day one so that you can plan your studies around it
35
and try to avoid the trap of tricking yourself into believing that you can leave everything until the last month before exams.
36
You probably can and I'm sure a lot of people get away with
37
that but it comes along with a lot of stress
38
and anxiety and that's something that we're trying to avoid here on the channel.
39
If you haven't already done this, don't worry or freak out.
40
You know, it's never too early to start.
41
I always say having a plan no matter when in your studying journey is going to be very very helpful.
42
So just think about making a plan so you have a general idea of when things are going to be.
43
Before we get into what you can do if you're in the thick of it in exam season,
44
I kind of want to talk about falling behind with content.
45
I've made an entire video about the steps that you can take
46
if you've already fallen behind but I just want to try
47
and remind everyone to make it your goal to not fall behind to begin with if it's avoidable.
48
And the reason that I say that is because
49
if you stay on track throughout the semester then it's a little bit of work every now
50
and again consistently and you stay where you are.
51
Once you've fallen behind everything kind of becomes exponentially more difficult to get back on track
52
and then get ahead once more and
53
so just trying to remain a little bit consistent throughout time is a lot easier than having
54
that falling behind sensation and having to just do tons
55
and tons of work just to get back to the same starting point.
56
Now I know that a lot of the time it isn't avoidable
57
if you're unwell or if you have other commitments outside of academics
58
or you're just having a really bad day you can't reschedule something like work etc
59
but I think that building into your study routine the fact
60
that you might to fall behind at some point
61
and sort of building in this margin of error or this safety net is really helpful when it comes to planning.
62
And one way that you can get around this is that
63
if you ever find yourself with a little bit more free time,
64
you know, obviously take that time to go and have fun and see friends and whatever, but dedicate a sliver of that time to looking ahead,
65
you know, at lectures that are already available
66
or doing some of the readings
67
that you know you're going to have to do anyway next week or in a couple of weeks.
68
Sometimes lectures from the previous years are already available online and
69
so you can just look at those and get ahead with that little bit of free time that you have.
70
This can be really helpful especially as you approach exam season
71
because once you reach exam season you kind of just want to be reviewing the content
72
and the notes that you've already gone over and that you've made.
73
You don't really want to be looking at new content, making new notes and seeing things for the first time
74
so close to your exams and
75
if you've had a little bit of free time throughout the semester to do a little bit of reading ahead
76
it usually just propels you that much more so that when it comes exam time you're less stressed,
77
you have your notes ready and you can just review them.
78
For me personally the idea of cramming or pulling all -nighters
79
or you know studying really really intensely before exams causes me a lot of stress
80
and anxiety and part of the reason that I work
81
so hard throughout the year and that I work so hard generally is because I'm trying to avoid that stress.
82
I'm trying to avoid putting myself in a position where I would be
83
so anxious and worried and stressed pulling all -nighters and things like
84
that and one of the ways that I've been able to do
85
that is by reading ahead in some of my free time or down days.
86
I cannot stress enough how important active recall is
87
but also how important doing active recall is early on in the academic year.
88
It's helpful to get an idea of what your uni is going to be testing
89
you on way before you even get to exam season.
90
The benefit of this is that you're doing something
91
that is going to help you remember and understand and apply the content for exactly what you're going to be tested on.
92
If you do pass paper questions early on in the year, then you're going to be able to learn the exam structure,
93
learn the type of questions that are going to be asked for you,
94
and see the cumulative effects of learning information at spaced intervals as you get closer to the exam.
95
I've said it before, but at least in medical school, I feel like 80 % of the marks
96
that you get in your exams are going to come from something like 20 % of the content.
97
So you really benefit from learning what these topics are early on in the year.
98
Doing past paper questions or going through flashcard decks that you might have gotten from the older years in your university,
99
even if it's on content that you haven't quite gone through yet, it doesn't matter.
100
Starting early to build up that familiarity with topics
101
that you're going to learn about in the future that you even might not know about right now is really, really helpful.
102
And it can tell you what to harness and focus your efforts and your energy on when it comes to studying.
103
Obviously, if you haven't seen this material before and you're not familiar with the questions, then you might not be scoring as well as you'd like.
104
But especially at the beginning, I really wouldn't worry about the scores.
105
It's more about getting familiar with the types of questions, with the types of content,
106
and just getting used to what you're going to be asked on the exam.
107
As time goes on and you review that material and you go over those topics in your lectures and your tutorials,
108
etc., then you can be expecting the score better.
109
But I really wouldn't worry about it at the beginning.
110
Okay, so if you're only seeing this video a month before your exams
111
and you need some tips right now for while you're in the thick of it,
112
the best tip I can give you is to be really clear about what your time is worth.
113
I see a lot of people spending hours on making flashcards or notes and other resources that already exist out there.
114
I think this can generally be a pretty big waste of your time.
115
You could be using this time to actively engage with your content through past papers and past paper questions.
116
It's so important that you consider where your time is going, especially when you don't have a lot of it.
117
And with limited time, you want to make sure that you're focusing on the most high yield materials, the most high yield content and topics
118
that are likely to come up on the exam
119
and will actually move the needle for you in terms of getting a better grade.
120
Using resources from older years, exchanging study notes with your friends, organizing study groups,
121
and finding more creative ways to use your time instead of just sitting in the library or in your room studying alone,
122
reviewing your notes over and over again can be really helpful.
123
You've always got to be thinking about what's going to best engage your brain.
124
Are you going to do better with doing one hour of flashcard making or one hour of flashcard answering?
125
Oftentimes students don't realize that there are already resources out there
126
which can prevent them from duplicating that work
127
and putting a lot of time
128
and effort into doing the sort of preliminary stuff before the actual highly engaging stuff like answering questions and recalling information.
129
My advice is to use all of the resources available to you and to continuously ask yourself,
130
am I spending my time in the most high yield way?
131
Another important thing is about organizing study groups.
132
One of the main reasons that I did so well in my OSCEs is because I studied with other people.
133
You'll learn so much from other people on the course
134
and you can ask them about things that you're struggling with
135
And you can consolidate your learning by explaining things or teaching them to other people as well
136
If you don't know people that well
137
Just start a whatsapp group and add people who you'd like to know better
138
or you'd like to study with
139
and get in charge of organizing something
140
I've personally been the king of this method every year before exams I'd always make a whatsapp group
141
and i'd put like 10 to 20 people in there who I knew on the course
142
I'd send a message with something along the lines of all right guys the time is here
143
We have to start preparing for finals
144
Let's pull all of our resources together in this group
145
and share everything that we have and then people would send over their notes
146
Their flashcards their past paper exams like everything you name it
147
And suddenly we were all in a much better position with all the shared information and resources
148
Than if we were all just studying on our own
149
and all of this because I made a whatsapp group and messaged 10 to 20 people
150
Which took me like five minutes everybody wins
151
and you'll be surprised about how much people want to be included in something like this
152
Especially when you get closer to exam season just most people don't want to take
153
that initiative and take charge of actually making the group
154
so my last tip is to rest meaningfully and consciously even
155
if you've left everything to the last minute you still need rest
156
there's no scenario where you're going to study day
157
and night for multiple days in a row
158
and still keep your sanity you're going to go crazy
159
and you're going to be really stressed you can't study effectively
160
if you're not resting regularly and meaningfully i mean look maybe you can i don't know
161
but i'll speak for myself and in order to study hard i definitely need to rest hard as well.
162
I personally keep quite a strict schedule
163
which includes resting time for doing whatever it is
164
that I want in my day and also to make sure that I get my seven hours of needed sleep at night.
165
If I don't do that then I'm much more likely to burn out
166
and then also when I'm studying during the day
167
and I'm tired it's not the best thing for you know retaining all that information and actually learning it properly.
168
You need to rest between topics and between blocks of studying in order to be able to learn that information more efficiently.
169
As you've seen in my previous videos I have a really strict study routine especially around exam time
170
but it's so good to know that in my downtime I can do whatever it is that I want.
171
I have this really strict
172
differentiating line between my studying time and my resting time and
173
that means that when I'm studying I'm completely focused and I don't have my phone,
174
I don't go on social media and I'm just doing all the hard work
175
and then in my resting time I don't have to think about work, I'm not guilty about not studying because I know
176
that I've already done that and I can focus all of my mind and my energy on having fun and resting.
177
Even though in my resting time my to -do list is still full of things
178
that I need to do and I know that I have a lot to get done, I know that I deserve this break as well
179
and I should take advantage of it and rest as much as I can.
180
I really like to remind myself as often as I can
181
that it's important to rest my mental health in order to get the most out of my studying time
182
or my productive time in the day.
183
If you are finding it difficult to get in enough rest
184
or your mental health is deteriorating then please reach out to your friends,
185
your family, your personal tutors at university or anyone who you trust who might be able to help.
186
I know at least here in medical school, there is help available.
187
And, you know, universities are used to dealing with students who are struggling with their studies, with their mental health, with whatever.
188
And so they have experience dealing with these issues and they're available to talk to if you need them.
189
So please do remember that and don't suffer through it on your own or struggle through it by yourself.
190
Talking to other people is a really, really great way to sort of get tackling the problem,
191
you know, moving past any difficult period that you're in in your life.
192
And that is it, guys.
193
Those are my five life -saving exam tips that will hopefully help you get through your exams.
194
Hopefully this video will have added value in some way shape
195
or form that can help you adapt your studying routine for the better I hope there's something
196
that you've been able to take away from this video
197
Even if it's just a reminder to reach out to friends to study together
198

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
