So you've got exams coming up and you're just not sure where to get started with it all.

Are you on the right track?

Should you be doing something differently?

What are the most high yield topics?

Have you studied enough or do you need to kick into gear and put your foot on the gas?

It's also difficult not to compare your technique with other people on the course

or to doubt if what you're doing is actually going to work.

What is up guys, Karma Medic here and welcome back to another dose.

If you've got exams coming up then this video is for you.

It's hard to know whether your studying technique is going to get you the grades

that you want or need

so here are five life -saving exam tips to help you

get through the exam season my first tip is to have a plan

and to have a plan early it's

so important for you to know how your course is structured

and when your exams are you also need to know the type of exams you're going to have

so in medical school for example most commonly we have single best answer questions

or mcqs we have oscies anatomy spotter exams and

so on i think students really underestimate how beneficial

it is to start early with understanding the basic layout of your course

and when you can expect to be having your exams so

that you can be better prepared for them it's easy to think

that your exams are at some point in the summer

and just have that sort of in the back of your mind

and then before you know it you're a month away from exams

and you're cramming in all the work and you're just really stressed

and it's a bad time i find

it helpful to meticulously plan my year at the start instead of waiting for the last term

and then panic ensues it's always worth remembering

that we're really good at talking ourselves into

and tricking ourselves into the belief that we have lots of time ahead of us

and that we shouldn't worry or we can leave planning until tomorrow when we all know that tomorrow doesn't really come.

The ideal situation is to use the information on your course and the dates of your exams, other assignments and reading weeks,

etc. from day one so that you can plan your studies around it

and try to avoid the trap of tricking yourself into believing that you can leave everything until the last month before exams.

You probably can and I'm sure a lot of people get away with

that but it comes along with a lot of stress

and anxiety and that's something that we're trying to avoid here on the channel.

If you haven't already done this, don't worry or freak out.

You know, it's never too early to start.

I always say having a plan no matter when in your studying journey is going to be very very helpful.

So just think about making a plan so you have a general idea of when things are going to be.

Before we get into what you can do if you're in the thick of it in exam season,

I kind of want to talk about falling behind with content.

I've made an entire video about the steps that you can take

if you've already fallen behind but I just want to try

and remind everyone to make it your goal to not fall behind to begin with if it's avoidable.

And the reason that I say that is because

if you stay on track throughout the semester then it's a little bit of work every now

and again consistently and you stay where you are.

Once you've fallen behind everything kind of becomes exponentially more difficult to get back on track

and then get ahead once more and

so just trying to remain a little bit consistent throughout time is a lot easier than having

that falling behind sensation and having to just do tons

and tons of work just to get back to the same starting point.

Now I know that a lot of the time it isn't avoidable

if you're unwell or if you have other commitments outside of academics

or you're just having a really bad day you can't reschedule something like work etc

but I think that building into your study routine the fact

that you might to fall behind at some point

and sort of building in this margin of error or this safety net is really helpful when it comes to planning.

And one way that you can get around this is that

if you ever find yourself with a little bit more free time,

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,

you know, at lectures that are already available

or doing some of the readings

that you know you're going to have to do anyway next week or in a couple of weeks.

Sometimes lectures from the previous years are already available online and

so you can just look at those and get ahead with that little bit of free time that you have.

This can be really helpful especially as you approach exam season

because once you reach exam season you kind of just want to be reviewing the content

and the notes that you've already gone over and that you've made.

You don't really want to be looking at new content, making new notes and seeing things for the first time

so close to your exams and

if you've had a little bit of free time throughout the semester to do a little bit of reading ahead

it usually just propels you that much more so that when it comes exam time you're less stressed,

you have your notes ready and you can just review them.

For me personally the idea of cramming or pulling all -nighters

or you know studying really really intensely before exams causes me a lot of stress

and anxiety and part of the reason that I work

so hard throughout the year and that I work so hard generally is because I'm trying to avoid that stress.

I'm trying to avoid putting myself in a position where I would be

so anxious and worried and stressed pulling all -nighters and things like

that and one of the ways that I've been able to do

that is by reading ahead in some of my free time or down days.

I cannot stress enough how important active recall is

but also how important doing active recall is early on in the academic year.

It's helpful to get an idea of what your uni is going to be testing

you on way before you even get to exam season.

The benefit of this is that you're doing something

that is going to help you remember and understand and apply the content for exactly what you're going to be tested on.

If you do pass paper questions early on in the year, then you're going to be able to learn the exam structure,

learn the type of questions that are going to be asked for you,

and see the cumulative effects of learning information at spaced intervals as you get closer to the exam.

I've said it before, but at least in medical school, I feel like 80 % of the marks

that you get in your exams are going to come from something like 20 % of the content.

So you really benefit from learning what these topics are early on in the year.

Doing past paper questions or going through flashcard decks that you might have gotten from the older years in your university,

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

or to take rest or even just to start planning for exams from now

199

No matter how far into the academic year you are

200

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
