This is SUPER live video that goes through every step of my studying process in depth. I am learning a topic and as I go through it explaining exactly what I'm doing and thinking. Everything is being shown as if you guys are standing behind my shoulder. We mindmap, layer and do active recall throughout. Hope you like it.

Asalam alaikum zaid, I have to say that your advice is the only one which I agree with as someone who studied multiple study methods and techniques yours is the most straightforward, easy to understand and best for learning . No wonder your a med student in such a prestigious university. Inshallah you will be a wonderful doctor and continue to help others. I wish you the best and after saying this I’m hoping your a Muslims because it seems like it 😅😅😅 Also thank you so much for giving such in depth information which a lot of people don’t do. Your truly life saver and I hope you become successful. Also is there any disadvantage to creating the mind map on my phone????

@subasri2366 7 күн бұрын

I recently putting in lots of my time into studies and fed up with the fact that i have to revise more and more along with the complex theories and various models of sums from the exact same topic... I guess people giving regular advises must need to use the disclaimer that more you do the same topic more you will retain.. On the contrary what fascinates me from your content is you focus on retaining the content rather than saying you completed 700 pages in one hr.. So brother im eager to follow your procedures so that i can implement it in my last revisions before my upcoming exams... Need layering part too !!!!

For tip 8, you said to not create recall questions immediately but wait 30-45 minutes. During that 30-45 min, are you actively reading to deepen your understanding of the topic beyond what you put in your mind map? And then once the minutes are up, you start over again and make recall questions?

@shrivarshyababu7856 9 күн бұрын

Hello zaid, your videos are eye openers for many of the students like me , thank you for that , i have a ques if you dont gave proper notes and yu have to fair a copy of notes for your study and then you have to make recall questions out of them, wont it take very long hours for completing just one subject ? So in that case how to balance between notes and making recall questions? ⁉️

@zain_asif 6 күн бұрын

I would try my best to avoid making normal notes tbh. Make questions directly from the information source (ie. your books or lectures). That way you can test yourself on them and fill the gaps directly from the books.

Hey I just to ask have you ever watch Justin Sung video? Yeah his video about mind mapping, encoding, space repetition…etc and your method of mind mapping, and creating recall question is very similar to his? Just curious that’s all, if not then maybe you could get some insight into his learning system. His is a learning coach, and was a medical doctor, but he only does helping people to learn. And I’m not fully understand his learning system, but maybe you might have some insight into his learning system and share on your KZfaq to improve your mind as well. I’m just just curious.

@zain_asif 6 күн бұрын

Yep Justin's done really well with introducing higher-order learning to the masses. I've incorporated mindmaps into my learning this last year but most find this to be difficult, I'm hoping these videos would help simplify the process and give the perspective of a beginner applying these more efficient techniques. Let me know what specifically you're having trouble doing.

For the recall of the mind map diagram, suppose I learn to different topics , will I have to remember all the structure of the mind map which is long?

@zain_asif 6 күн бұрын

The recall is just something I do when the actual creation of the mindmap becomes passive. The mindmap should intuitively stick in your head ideally.

@elude3808 4 күн бұрын

Hi Zain, First of all, thank you for your amazing videos! I'm a struggling med student in Spain. Here, the exams are based on the professors' lectures and 90% of the exams are random details, so we rely heavily on notes from previous students. Each subject has around 300 to 500 pages of notes filled with details, so time management is crucial. We usually have 5 or 6 subjects per four-month term (we have 2 terms), and only final exams, so it's a lot of information to retain all at once. My biggest struggle is memory-I have a very bad long-term memory, so I struggle to retain information for that long. Therefore, I need a good pace to cover all the content and do revisions. We have 30 to 50 topics per subject; would 2 hours per topic be effective using this method? It would be really helpful if you could reply. Thanks! P.S. I'm excited for part 2!

Watching the mindmapping process unfolding is interesting and very useful, but as you yourself said the fact that yoúre videoing it and communicating to a potential audience actually changes the process. f For the next video talk to yourself out loud rather than to the camera, you can edit in your commentary to us later.

That's an excellent idea. Do you mean do a voiceover later after I've made it to show you what I'm doing at each step while doing the mindmap/layering or studying so you guys can see me do it more naturally?
