How I Memorise Everything WITHOUT Flashcards/Revision Cards | Active Recall & Spaced Repetition

cardiac murmurs on aortic regurgitation? 😮😮😮

It's encouraging to know that there's someone like me who doesn't follow the crowd. I am an alumnus of AIIMS Delhi (India's premier medical institute), and I never used an iPad, flashcards, or any other form of digital notes to pass India's most difficult medical entrance exam. For each chapter, I like to make short notes and mindmaps on a sheet of A3 paper. I try to jot down as many important points as I can on that one sheet and revise it several times. Throughout my preparation, I remember having only one file of notes while my friends created heaps of flashcards and digital folders, which I believe is the most foolish thing to do for any competitive exam.

Great video, thank you for this! How would you time the gaps between each study session for a particular topic? For example, if I were to revise a topic on the history of tea, how would I know when to revisit this topic in future?

The Vedio that changed my life

thank you for sharing this method. very smart!

Hi, What if you write questions on a google doc (and highlight them red green yellow based on difficulty) and answers on a notebook?

Icl this is basically doing flashcards without using a flashcard app or physical flashcards.

I like the two-column approach in your notebook. I'm going to do this for this upcoming Fall semester. It's a great idea!

Active recall and spaced repetition - thank you!

Would this method replicate well on an ipad? If yes could you do a tutorial or something thank you.

This seems like a good idea. Definitely truing this for next semester

Thank you 🥺❤ great idea !!

This is such a great idea! One question, do you do the questions while you listen to the lecture at class? or do you take notes in class and you do the questions later when u study?

I'm a 2nd year med student with a broken laptop and an empty wallet. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART THIS IS LIFE SAVING

With Anki it's effective to cram facts but then I completely lack an overall visualisation of the topic... My brain just doesn't make any connections and I forget everything 🙃 I'm glad I'm not the only one ❤❤ I love your method, finally something actually useful

Thank you! :)

Thanks for brain fcking

thank you for this great method. looking forward to trying it and updating this comment :) !

your note taking style is basically cornell notes i think

Can we add some hand drawing to it

Quick addition that came into my head, u can use an exam board with papers instead of a card and write down the things that come into you head, then compare it with the actual notes

i made the mistake of get this video in 2x speed

What a simple but effective idea; thank you.

But how to tag question which are at various levels of learning like red green yellow

Thanks alot my mom hates me cutting flash cards so now I will take ur advice

We evolve so much in these minute processes of making us an ideal academic subjects!

Thank you for the great idea to overcome the messiness of flash card!

i wasn't sure if you were a medical student until I saw you wore scrubs in the video, then I knew this was serious business

Thanks I'm gonna try this for my A levels

Anki but on paper lol just watch a yt vid on it

I want to ask something. Can't you do this system by using Notion? I mean you can create questions or you can create blank for answers in the sentences with the toggles. And as you said you can see where did you come from to this question. Also you can reach Notion anywhere. Can it be an alternative for this system?

Thank you !

Amazing! I think a conclusion I get is that if you find a way that actually benefits you then don’t get affected by other ways, like I am now a first tear medical student and I started with anki and I just couldn’t get my head around it specially beacuse I used to study with pen and paper for my whole life so changing that was going to be hard for me, I will try this method it looks lovely. Thank you hibbear!!!

I'm really excited to try this method. As a first year Medical Student I'm still learning, HOW TO STUDY to be effective. I've already come to the conclusion that writing long notes, doesn't work, and takes up a lot of time. I want to find the way, that helps me to perform well on exams. Thank you for your video🥰
Lots of love from Hungary!

excellent

Great video. So helpful. Thanks a million

It is useful note

Omg thanks it’s so effective

Is this your only study method? Do you read the book or take notes or just write questions and do active recall.

Really helpfull. thank you 👍

The style of your notes is called cornell notes (probably someone said that before). You can buy notebooks in the cornell if you don't want to create them yourself.

As I think u r indian

This is a very smart method for very content loaded courses. Love this 👍

GENIUS

I think this is an amazing idea! I want to use this for my first year, one quick question. I got a weekend job will that be ok along with my studies or should I work for once a week? Thank you 😊

I’m sorry but isn’t this the same exact thing as flash cards like Quizlet? R u suppose to do these during class somehow????
