I just kind of back burnered these two exams that cost me a couple hundred bucks and I have 3 weeks now to play catch up but I really suck it remembering text these days. Not as young as I used to be and it seems my ability to retain information has decreased.he's hoping these tips help me get through 800 pages of one text and 1600 of another!

Here's a tip which helped me score 74/80 in science This technique works So when you're reading the lesson and just blindly making notes ,keep a seperate notebook. Now while reading instead of taking notes, frame questions which come to your mind and also try framing questions just as you are reading,i mean - be atleast a bit curious about the topic and ask yourself questions. Now don't answer them,note them down After reading that particular page or topic ,go back to the questions and answer them Benefits: Firstly it's forces your mind to be curious over stuff And it's increases your ability to answer thereby making it easier for you to get full marks for a particular question in exam And it's pyschologically proven that if you write smt down immediately after learning it ,you remember it for a longer time Trust me this works I Went from 27/80 to 74/80 by this technique And try to understand the concepts instead of blindly reading and taking point
Yes! You are right Lakshanya. Good suggestions. I talk about the value of taking handwritten notes in many of my newer videos like tip #3 in this one. kzhead.info/sun/lqqrpJeSjqZ7dnA/bejne.html

00:20 📚 Don't read a textbook like a novel. Start by previewing the chapter. 02:20 📖 Read the quiz questions at the end first. This highlights what's important in the chapter. 03:19 📌 Focus on bold print, titles, subtitles, and topic headings for an overview. 04:51 📝 Read the first and last sentences of each paragraph for exposure, not comprehension. 06:08 🔄 This method is more effective than cramming for retention. Repetition aids learning.

After my first week of uni and not understanding the textbooks I had to read I have been watching videos such as this and here's is what I've learned so far: HOW TO READ / STUDY TEXTBOOKS Step 1: Flip through the entire chapter, to get a sense of how long it is and see whatever stands out to you Step 2: Thoroughly read through the quiz at the end of each section or chapter to gain the understanding of what important questions you should be asking yourself from here on out. **IMPORTANT: FOR STEPS 3 & 4 YOU ARE READING FOR EXPOSURE TO THE CONTENT, NOT COMPREHENSION** Step 3: Go to the start of the chapter and read through all of the bold texts throughout the chapter Step 4: Go back to the start of the chapter and read the first and last sentence of each paragraph. Step 5: Finally read through the chapter fully while framing questions that come to your mind on a blank piece of paper and highlighting in the text what made you think of those questions (Remember to stay curious, this will help you think of questions from the text). For now, don’t answer these questions, wait until you have finished the section or topic, then go through and answer them. Step 6: If the teacher has posted any type of video going over the topic. Watch it, it will help immensely because it was what they think is most important Hope this helps someone :)

This changed how I learned in college. Dissecting chapters before reading them help me understand what I'm reading and made my experience less scary. Continuously practicing these steps and being aware of them has helped me set up my notes better and now I annotate what I read because I feel like I can relate to a lot of what I'm learning. It honestly made me fall in love with learning and reading. This eventually led me to set up an entire style guide to how I take notes.

Summary guys: 1. Flip through the pages a. How long is the chapter b. How many words are there compared to images c. Does anything jump out at you? Graphs, images, tables etc. 2. Go to the end of the chapter a. Did they give you any sort of a quiz? b. Quiz will give the important information that should be gained from the chapter 3. Go to the beginning of the chapter a. Read the bold print b. Titles, subtitles, headings: Break down of information 4. Go to the beginning one more time a. First and last sentence in each paragraph b. First sentence is the introduction . The last sentence of the paragraph helps you sum it up 5. Now you have got the preview a. Start reading the chapter and make your notes on it ****REPETITION IS MOTHER OF LEARNING ****

I really like how he explained each point in great detail. 👍
Back again to listen to your video. Great information for me. I am in my last semester before graduation. I have used your guide to study. Thank you. Sherry Hurd
I don’t believe there are any bad students. Everyone just needs to realize their most effective way of learning new material.
thats exactly what i’m missing, i’m looking through the best way to study no matter how long it takes
Mindset also matters
Agreed
nah there's a lot of bad students
Yep everyone is capable, it's just that some of them doesn't want to
Finally a to-the-point tutorial. Most of these kind of videos just ramble on about “getting into the correct learning mindset” and “stop stressing out about it”. This actually has specific instructions I can do immediately. For anyone in doubt - I tried this method it works impeccably. All textbooks are different so adapt the style as fit, but I assure you that this is fail-safe.
Hello Will. THANK YOU for posting your comment. I believe your words will inspire others to not merely view this content, but actually put these ideas to use. I very much appreciate you for taking the time to post your personal review.
Finally i found a youtube recommended video which I needed
@@moviesnight248 Thanks for viewing, and for actually taking the time to go through some of the comments before posting yours. It is very much appreciated!

Hi, Matt. Would be nice if you post something about a learning technique of differrent manuals, chapters with technical recommendations and requirements where you dont have a well structured chapters or where you have to learn all the recommendations and requirements, for example, procedures, equipment specs etc.

I just discovered you Mr. DiMaio through this video. Started watching this one from 2:15 and in a minute I understood HOW EFFECTIVE this video is gonna be. I just subscribed! Now I'm gonna discover more from your channel! Found what I exactly needed.
Welcome aboard Hii. Am happy to have you join us here.
@@BeSmarterFaster ❤️❤️
he basically emphasized how to study smart instead of studying hard. a person can read a whole chapter of the book and still won't comprehend the important parts. this is a great guide especially if the textbook has way more pages per chapter.
Studying hard doesn't mean studying stupid.Working hard in a smart way is the key to success
@@gulaborani5184 Yeah but by cramming, you are working and still, you might not remember 50% of what you read.
Hard work is not the key, SMART WORK( hard+timely+efficient) is the key to success
@@indraneelmenon well yea but some people work hard consistently from the start so we can't just disregard taht.
@@ivory8835 I told smart (hard+timely+efficient) and I think that hard working consistently means doing your work in a timely and efficient way.
Don’t let all the funny comments distract you from how useful and brilliant this video is!
Indeed ❤️
I wish I could find more of this stuff.
The irony 😂
Abc Abc yeah
Thankyou Matt. I can see how this technique will be so effective. I wasn't aware of one's reticular activating system kicking in using this method. It all fell into place for me with this short video.
I read this title as how to ABSORB textbooks like SPONGEBOB

‘wasting time’ - I don’t like how you use that term against great technological resources. It really is sad how the education system is formed. It’s horrible. You act like a boring old textbook is the only thing you can use. Well, it might be the case anyway for you, likely. The System just doesn’t hold up to our future standards anymore. College is a repetitive career mongering indoctrination camp, and everyone says that it is the only way to get a good-paying career. Also, Although people say you need money to live, something our Education System doesn’t take into effect is a Work/Life balance. We’ve all been told to get a good paying job; but not one that will make us happy. You need to realize this.
Good luck with neet
I can’t Thank you enough for sharing this effective technique! Thank you for keeping it simple & straight to the point.
I loved it, I have been doing some of the stuff intuitively without knowing they were good for the assimilation of the content. Combining everything will help me improve A LOOOOOT! Thank you Matt Dimaio, I am going to share this with my friends and family
Hello Lobo. Thanks for taking a moment to join us here. You make a good point. Many students seem to stumble across ideas that work for them. What I've done on my channel is to collect and compile all the good ideas I can find that generate real-world results. Hope you enjoy my newer content too. Happy to have you sharing my videos with those you care about.
A lot of people are saying this should be taught in high school, but personally, I believe that this should be taught in sixth grade so that students can effectively learn how to use it so that they understand it when it matters.
ye,i mean it took him only 8 minutes thats amazing
I wish...so that I wouldn't have to figure it out at the age of 18
well im I'm 8th grade thank god I found this
Can vocalbilization increase studying
Especially as this is more familiarizing our brain with the content so it’s more efficient at processing it. It wouldn’t require 11 year olds to conceptually understand this practical process in depth, just repeat the steps for more effective learning.
Teaching how to learn should be the first class in every school. This was a great lesson!
Yes!

This knowledge would have helped me so much all throughout school and college. It’s never too late to learn this, as I can now pass it onto my students and child. Thank you for uploading this. ❤
So glad to have come across your content. Such valuable information you are sharing with the world and the bright minds of tomorrow. Thank-you!

1. Flip Through Each Page to see length etc *Repetition Is The Mother Of Learning* 2. Go to the end and read the quiz (if any) *Repetition Is The Mother Of Learning* 3. Read the *Bold Print* *Repetition Is The Mother Of Learning* 4. Read First and Last Sentence of each Paragraph (reading for exposure only to map out) *Repetition Is The Mother Of Learning* 5. Read the chapter (will only need to read it once after the above steps, prevents cramming) *Repetition Is The Mother Of Learning*

Repitition is the one of the most primitive way of learning
Is this method patched in the latest update or is it still working?
Repetition
i just realised in stead of attempting to make a profit out of this life changing technique, he posted on KZhead, which is free. this guy clearly cares more about education than getting a pay check which is a mindset, educators and bosses and anyone who has authority needs o considering doing. three cheers for Matt DiMaio

@@BeSmarterFaster thank you for the video. I have a question- what if there's no quiz at the end of a chapter in a book? How do I proceed then?
@@pranshukaushik4837 That is a good queston. I'm working on what to do for that too. For now, I'm making flashcards of the key points, processes, definitions, diagrams etc. I'll make a "test" with these. Past exam papers seem a good idea to me too, what about these for you?
Wdym most educational videos are really good on KZhead
@@pranshukaushik4837 If there is a chapter there are questions... If you can't find them in book itself, try internet there are previous years, important questions by trained professionals etc. Try try but don't cry. Good luck pal
Steps: 1.Flip through each page of the textbook 2.Go to the end of the chapter and see the quiz 3.Read the bold words from the chapter 4.Read the first and last sentence 5.Now,start reading and make notes 🙏Thank you
thank you....
Step 6. Re write the chapter using only your own words, pictures, graphs. If you can teach the material to others using your own words, you just might understand the subject. Or, you can just use any variety of methods to regurgitate the known on exams.

I've been intuitively following a similar process my whole life and it never worked because it felt messy, like it was *my* problem that I can't *just read*, this put that in a very different perspective. Seems a lot more logical and methodic now, I'm definitely going to make an improvement, thank you!

@@BeSmarterFaster I will check it out! Your students must be thankful.
I am a network engineering student in NIIT and I do appreciate your method because it's seems its gonna be more helpful to me then I thought
A quick summary for those who want it: - Flip through each page: Overview on what is coming. - Look at the End-Quiz: You know what you look for. - Read the bold print: Information has been broken down for you. - Read the first and last sentence in a paragraph: The first sentence is an introduction & the last a conclusion. This method takes more time than just reading the chapter in one go, but it is way more effective. And remember: REPETITION IS THE MOTHER OF LEARNING.

@@BeSmarterFaster dang a reply a day later
Just as an anecdotal add-on: Looking at the questions at the end before reading is a major tip for anyone taking the SAT or ACT. My Reading comprehension score went from a 24 to a 31 on the ACT once I started looking at the questions first before just reading. 2 Computer Science degrees later and I’m re-reminded how important having a studying SYSTEM really is! You never stop learning…so you might as well get good at it. Happy studying kids!
Hi there Kyser. Thank you for your post. You make an excellent point. You are right. When you give your brain a target, it will know what information to seek. BTW...

This... I accidentally found this a year ago when i was at my rock bottom and went through this method, got my academic success at its best. Again after a year I have to face a major exam and was wondering how to find this amazing teacher for kind of a motivation ( i still remember the method), here this comes again. This is a blessing and thank you ❤

Hello GD. THANK YOU for posting a couple of comments. Here's the 'behind the scenes' of this video. I was teaching a small group on how to remember people’s names for my church at one of our local libraries. One of the attendees who brought her daughter, a school-aged child, asked about studying from textbooks. The class was very small and the camera with the mic was close to one student in particular, and that’s why you hear his voice and not the others.
