00:00If you want an easy system to study 10 times faster from today, then you've come to the right place, because throughout my undergrad and postgraduate degrees, and now at med school, I've studied for thousands of hours, and over the past year, I've been using AI to study better, so that I still have time for more of the things I care about

00:14So I'll go through a five-part system so that you can do the same, and the last point is especially good for exam week, so stick around for then

00:22So first, I have a question: when you write notes or go through your classes, how much of it do you remember? Because for me, I don't remember much

00:29When I first take notes compared to when I go through them after, so the sooner I get to reviewing my notes, the better it was for actually learning

00:36But for school or uni, the class is organized in a way that's good for taking notes, and that meant spending a lot of time to make notes good enough to revise from

00:44So the first way to use AI software like Chat GPT to study faster is by using it to optimize your notes, and there's a few ways you can do this

00:53One way is to copy the rough notes that you took, or even copy the notes from your teacher's presentation, and ask the AI to systematically organize the notes, this could Be asking it to create a table so that you can easily refer back to different points and topics, instead of scanning through a load of text, or it could be asking it to organize your notes into different sections, like separating your notes into definitions, key concepts, or formulas, and make it fill in any gaps

01:14This is going to cut down a lot of your prep time so that you can spend more time on actually learning

01:20So now that you have organized notes, I have another question, what do you think is the best way to study, because students use all kinds of techniques from rereading their textbooks to to studying with Friends, but when you do an exam, what are you doing? You're answering questions, and doing practice questions has good scientific evidence for studying, because it's a form of active learning, because it's this active input where you think critically to take information out of your brain that helps you learn, which passive forms of learning won't do

01:45But if you've done this before, you know that making questions takes a long time, so instead, use AI to generate questions

01:55This can be to make questions from your notes, or make questions specific to your exams, like my exams are in a multiple choice format, so I Asked it to make questions from my notes in the same way, and you can take it a step further by making it aware of your grade at school or uni, so that the questions are personalized to your level

02:09This is going to save you the hours you would have spent making questions, so that you can use the time to actively learn instead

02:17But I've noticed that quite a few of you have the problem of not knowing where to start, or not having any notes to begin with, but whatever you're studying, there's always learning objectives you can follow, and AI can help you streamline this in a few ways

02:27The first is by copying your learning Objectives and asking it to create brief notes on the key concepts, so that you can build your core understanding of the topic instead of focusing on the small details, and again, to take it a step further, personalize it by asking it to create notes for your education grade, so that you learn the right level of detail and don't waste time on things you don't need to know

02:46The second way to help you get started is by using AI to direct you to websites and resources specific to what you need, like I know a lot of you will be sitting your GCSEs, NEET, and MCAT soon, and there's quite a few YouTube channels and websites

02:58That you might not have heard of, that AI can direct you to, so that you have a good amount of resources to cover what you need to know

03:05And yeah, there is the fact that AI won't be 100% accurate, but it hasn't been an issue for me, even at med school, like it's only really an issue for very specific or high-level things

03:15And now, even when you have your study material, some topics are just difficult to get through, and you probably don't have 24/7 access to a teacher, so you end up with a lot of unanswered questions

03:23So what you should do is use AI as your personal tutor, and there's a few ways to do this if you're struggling

03:30With a certain topic, tap your understanding of the topic and ask it to assess your knowledge and fill in any gaps

03:35This is helpful in two ways: first, it encourages critical thinking, since you actively engage in your learning by explaining to your AI tutor, and then it helps you strengthen your weaker areas by giving details on the parts you don't explain properly

03:48Doing this and asking it to make questions is a good way to improve your understanding, so that you're ready to move on to the next topic, and now the next point helps with the idea that a lot of the time we don't know what we need to improve on, so what you should do is use your AI tutor to mark your work and give you feedback

04:04Unlike teachers, AI isn't limited by time or energy, so it can give detailed feedback personalized to you in seconds, so that you know exactly what you need to work on, and that could be by asking it to mark your essay against a marking criteria, so that you can improve on it before your deadline, or sharing your answers to questions that you never seem to get full marks in

04:23This can help you see if you're missing working out in a maths problem, or missing a point for a three mark question

04:29As you keep using it as a personal tutor, you'll pick up on your Common mistakes, and eventually you'll learn to avoid those mistakes by yourself

04:36And now I'll ask you another question: what do you normally do during exam week? A lot of students skim through a bunch of their notes or try to cram new things, but this isn't efficient, and you know that it just stresses you out even more

04:49So what I do is, on top of practicing exam questions, I make high-yield summaries for different topics, and there's two ways to use AI for this so that it can make exam week less stressful

04:59The first is asking AI to condense your notes into a cheat sheet summary so that you can easily refresh your

05:05Understanding without being weighed down by thousands of notes the day before the exam, the second is to create cheat sheet summaries from YouTube videos by simply copying over the transcript from the video into Chat GPT

05:16The benefits of these cheat sheets is that they're surprisingly well organized, making them easy to go through with friends, so it's a good way to quickly teach each other and ask questions, so that you can make exam week less stressful

05:27So using AI is an easy way to make studying during exam season more productive, and if you know of any other AI study tips, leave a comment below so that

05:35Others can benefit, but our problem that AI doesn't solve are the study mistakes that a lot of students, including high achieving students, make

05:43So in this video here, I talk about seven common study mistakes and how you can solve them to become a straight A student, so click the video to learn more.
