7 Note-taking Secrets of the Top 1% of Students

Thank you for your tips!

I already use some of them but there are others I haven't used.

-connect the information after collecting it
-challenge yourself with practice questions and the feyman technique then fill the gaps
-make questions you can use to quiz yourself and actively recall

Taking notes on how to take notes…

you explain so well thank you

People in the top 1 % don’t go to lecture. They don’t learn from teachers

Wrong, learning shouldn't feel like struggling that just leads to frustration and exhaustion.

I never comment on any posts
But this was literally so much helpful
I used to struggle everyday pouring hours of effort on the study table.
But the results were very disaappointing. I felt something wrong in my study method and started searching for effective methods. Then i came across your page.
I am just 7months away from my boards and will sit for the medical admission test 1.5months after the boards
I wish i found this channel sooner
Thank you so much brother❤

Master tip: Read the chapter ahead of the assigned class. You’ll get that mental load lighter during class so you can focus on strengthening your knowledge instead of hearing the information for the first time.

you made me feel calm and destress about studying! thank you!

I am thinking about getting Remnote, do you recommend I mind map and also take note on Remnote? Or are they complimentary ?

I'm a medical student and it's not that deep 💀

my mans writing notes for newtons 3rd law under maths... we gon skip that or what

Hey! I'm new here, so I'm sorry if I missed it - but who is the "1%" that use this style of thinking for their notes?
sincerely,
a math teacher teaching their kids how to take notes ^^

My approach to notes was this - none. I sat in lectures and became totally immersed in what was being said. It worked very well for me.
Texts exist on courses - why spend countless hours trying to replicate them as notes?

Thanx a lot

A 6 Minute Video. Simple, no blabla. Just perfect 👍🏼

I love taking notes, and one of the apps I use it while taking notes while during online meeting is called PageFusion, it's a Chrome extension. Really a saviour.

I’m 65, have two degrees. I wish that this sort of advice had been available when I was at university. I plan to still use this for other learning.

I truly wonder on how to make visual notes about something theoretical like laws.. I will study Public Administration starting in October. Maybe someone has an idea?

im falling asleep after this

I had to learn the hard way that I will never learn math if I don't learn the concepts and real life applications of it first. and also that spending hours trying to match my notes headings linearly with its corresponding textbook heading is just pointless. I could just go look at that chapter in the textbook if I'm struggling 🤦🏻‍♀

Thank you so much for this video. My rising middle school son has ADHD and dyslexia and I've been trying to find ways to help him learn without fighting me. What you said in this video is applicable to his age group and older.

i like your video, but your understanding of Math sucks. That is the worst adice I ever had on Math: if you dont understand equations, then Math is the exact subject where you want to visualize stuff (yeah, geometry is math). If you dont understand equations, learn that skill first, as they are way more intuitive and precise than words

Goddamnit, Matty looks like me before the exam. Marker in the mouth and everything, I was laughing looking at it.

i love how this video has no intro, just gets straight to the point

The problems are many when i take notes. I need to study history of art so it's kinda difficult sometimes.
1) from a TEACHER of my uni, he goes too fast, he doesn't let me process everything, there are many words(life of artists, details of artworks, connectoon with other artists)
2) from a textbook, my teacher is VERY VERY precise!! He wants everything to be perfect so He is very detailed, and when i read my textbook there are so many important things to notice about an artwork!! I need to write many things about an artwork

Very useful video.. thanks

ESCAPE THE MATRIX

i think its hilarious that our high school algebra teacher encouraged plug and chug

Nice

The trick in math is to actually write the steps to solve the question

I really appreciate that you point out what learning "SHOULD" feel like. It puts it into a new perspective for me.

Thought he could get away with a Hunter x Hunter leorio melody in his video

One thing I can’t quite get my head around is the idea of offloading information as it becomes to great of a load. My problem with this is exactly what you pointed out, that you may end up missing information . I feel that by the time that you start offloading some of the info you are going to be missing what is currently being presented or you will forget and lose track of what you previously learned and now your screwed because you missed key points

the sudden sana meme was a nice surprise

I don't like to take notes but I do better in test.Sometimes when I make notes and study from it I get low marks than increasing.What should I do?

Note is an important think you ever thing

Thanks man, very concise, very nice.. learned alot, took some notes.. ah god I forgot some.. I'll edit it later anyway

Awesome. Just love it. Thank you
❤

But what kind of visual map would you make in law. for example, for murder would you apply a picture of one killing another?

Man u have a deep understanding of what u are doing and it help us so much.

Dam I should take notes on this video

How can I think as an exam writer?

Omg, this video is incredible❤❤❤

Also a good learning technique I know is to just write down EVERYTHING you know about a specific topic.
Then you compare with your notes and you will see what you forgot to write down.
Things you wrote down, you probably wont forget, so you don't have to study something you already know.
Things you didn't write down, you forgot, so you know what to focus on studying.

Thx

This is very good!

This is like the best note taking advice I've heard.
But in many classes there's a wall of notes all neatly prewritten on the board by the teacher, and it's going to take the entire class time to get that all down. Somehow you gotta copy that all down while still somehow paying attention!
THAT is an severely aggravating situation!!! Its really annoying when teacher is talking on a track that is not related to what they wrote on every inch of whiteboard in the room. And we have whiteboard on three sides of the classroom.
It just doesn't work for me to try to copy notes for a whole class while also listening to a lecture. I can either take the notes, OR I pay attention to the teacher, and I feel just outright aggravated by this type of teaching. And this is a real problem for a Lot of people, and most of my teachers after 6th grade were like this!
So, how can we deal with that situation?
Especially if you either don't have a device or are not allowed to use it in class?

I can't do most of these I believe, I am a trainee, it doesn't include pictures, I can't really make them visual, can you make another one but this time, words?
