Description: The reason you're not getting straight A's has nothing to do with your intelligence, and everything to do with your study strategies. Here's how. First, focus on active learning methods rather than passive ones. It will feel more challenging initially, but that means it's working, and what you learn will actually stick. Second, ensure your environment is conducive to learning. Minimize distractions and study solo or in small groups, meaning with only 1 or 2 other people. Third, pace yourself by forcing 25 minute blocks of intense focus followed by 5 minutes of break. This is the Pomodoro technique. Fourth, use practice questions from the very beginning and review them thoroughly, not just to check whether you got the answer right or wrong. This is an insanely powerful study tool. And fifth, use spaced repetition with active recall to consolidate and memorize information. And use the Feynman technique to memorize challenging concepts. Learn more about how to use each of these in my study strategy playlist. 🌍 Website & blog - medschoolinsiders.com 💌 Weekly newsletter - medschoolinsiders.com/newsletter 📸 Instagram - instagram.com/kevinjubbalmd 🐦 Twitter - twitter.com/kevinjubbalmd 🗣️ Facebook - facebook.com/kevinjubbalmd 🎵 Tiktok - tiktok.com/@kevinjubbalmd 🎥 My Youtube Gear: kit.co/kevinjubbalmd 👀 Hand Picked Productivity Tools: amazon.com/shop/medschoolinsiders 🎵My Study Playlist: open.spotify.com/user/1231934998/playlist/5joGbr1aQAIbMcJ9bOvJlk?si=iOAxgKNTQt-rrp1L8g-YWQ LINKS FROM VIDEO: Study Strategies and Tips: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2ADAFpTg5aZfX1gq1ZX27sYmOGwtBifC #medstudent #studystrategies #SHORTS ==================== Disclaimer: Content of this video is my opinion and does not constitute medical advice.
