What do you mean when you say you were "bullied a lot" by some classes, what did they do? Can you go in to more detail in wht you had to deal with behaviour-wise as a cover supervisor?
Don’t you get the maintenance loan in staggered payments so I’m wondering did you ask for the full amount at once to pay for your tuition or did you pay it gradually
You can pay your tuition fees in staggered amounts in line with the maintenance loan payments so I did that!
Hey guys I'm doing medicine and surgery 4th year in Uganda... but I really would love to work in the UK after my training ... How can I bring my dream to life. And what requirements are needed.
I know its a fairly hard question to answer, but how many weeks on average per year do you have off from uni? Im reading it's as low as 6 weeks for some unis but as high as 14 weeks? Id definitely need to work during the breaks.
It has changed every year - year 1 & 2 it was around 18 weeks off (Xmas 2 weeks, Easter 4 weeks and summer 12 weeks). Year 3 we lost the long Easter so was around 12 weeks. Year 4 summer is shorter again so around 6 weeks! Year 5 at Southampton starts in July so this year I have lost august where I usually work the most! Basically pre clinical years have a lot more weeks off :) hope that helps a bit!
@@LydiaMartinMedic Thanks so much! Do you work during term time?
How many hours do you normally spend on revision/academic work on days when you have placement? :)
Good luck! I’m coming to Southampton for med school in September (if alevel results go fine) 🤩
what would your advice be for someone with a graduate with a low UCAT pretty please? Im so desperate to get in :(xx
Best of luck as you start 5th year!
I trained as a nurse pre project 2000. We spent 12 weeks on each speciality, exams were on going every year. We also had a clinical skills book to get signed off. My final exams were written, practical and being observed running a ward for a day. Good luck
👏
Good luck!:)
Wish you all the very best with all that Lydia. Made me feel exhausted just listening to it all. You're a wonderful person.
I'm so excited to see what this year will be like!
Hope you enjoy your final year! I have been watching your journey since about the first lockdown or the 2nd one! Have you heard about what happened to Hazal’s FY1 job location?
I couldn’t even see your black eye Lydia! You still look stunning. This year will go so quickly … but you will succeed. Just pace yourself, have lots of breaks, and take time to relax in amongst all that hard work. We are all with you. 😊
Prioritising sleep
Having one day off and pretending med school doesn’t exist :)
Anki❤
deciding on a topic and then going through it with a friend by making a huge mindmap and teaching each other :)
My best study tip: always have a coffee on hand! Get yourself into a flow state and then you don't have the excuse of "needing a drink" as its already on your desk:)
My biggest tip /motivation is fear 😂
i love body doubling! it increases my productivity a crazy amount. i will watch study vlogs on youtube, study with me s, or just be on a facetime call with my mom while she cleans the kitchen!
Have a study body spray so that you connect your revision with that smell and then wear it to your exams
my study tip would be watching lots of videos on CZcams on a topic I may be struggling with. I found this is helpful since I am more of an auditory learner and books can sometimes go over my head :) going into year 2 and anatomy is something I hope to do better in!
My favourite thing for studying is handwriting flash cards (sorry Anki). Works so much better for me!
I’m a grad applicant who is returning to university to study Medicine this September! I had to do evening classes this past year for Higher Biology and Chemistry which I did whilst working full-time (a busy year but very worth it!) and blurting on a whiteboard was so useful for studying in the run up to exams. It’s essentially a method of active recall and for content-heavy subjects it works a treat ☺️ Have appreciated your content over the past year, Lydia! Super useful hearing from another grad who has worked throughout their degree.
Make mind maps with as many synoptic links as possible. This really reinforces active recall and reduces future revision needs ENJOY ❤ Vivien 🎉🎉🎉
Study tip I used in nursing school- test yourself (use quizlet, flashcards and whiteboard), & do practice questions. Try to use other resources as well as textbook for example lookup videos or NCLEX questions on the subject
My best study tip is to try and study in an area that is not your bedroom and when you’re studying you’re thinking subconsciously about you bed and when you’re on a break you’re thinking about revision and if you have a willing victim (sorry partner)to practice OSCE skills on then make the most of it!
My best study tip is so so hard to sum up (Do have a video coming soon!!! - providing I pass 😭) 1. Review the lecture content to ensure you understand everything filling in the gaps with research from lectures, google, or AI so that you have the best knowledge of the content. 2. Summarise the content in the form of a mindmap, lecture notes, or anki and then make 3-4 exam questions based on the content 3. The next day revise flashcards for the lecture you reviewed 4. After a week do the long answer exam questions as a form of blurting and then mark this with the lecture and see where gaps in knowledge are 5. Any identified gaps can be covered in a different way To be honest, anything that is really stumping me I will find videos to watch that presents the information in a different way. I ask friends who understand the content to teach me the information as hearing them explain it in person I can then ask questions when there are things that I do not understand. I make sure I can summarise the information in a fashion that makes sense, and so on. I am so excited to bring out a video on this so that I can move into my clinical years when I find out my results! 2 weeks left until I find out my results 🤞🏻 Also - loved the Taylor Vlog and cannot believe I ran into you there!
One thing I like doing when I’m studying is have one day off a week from studying and it just gives my mind a rest and I can focus on something fun for one day ☺️
if you’re like me, and have a tendency to write way too much on flashcards cut them in half! having a space constraint helps me concentrate what is truly essential to know! it also helps break up big topics, and it’s easier to learn small chunks of information and link them together. for courses that have a lot of terminology, i’ll cut my notecards into 4 and have the term on one side, and the definition on the other, and just review on the train or while waiting in line when shopping.
Oh! Best study tip: bring a friend and blurt all of your knowledge on one topic onto a big whiteboard, split the stuff you didn't know between yourselves, go away and research then come back and teach each other (socialising and working at the same time x2 productive haha)
best study tip: literally just brain farting everything you know about each topic a fast as you can for 10 minutes. Then, with a different colour go back and add anything you've forgotten from your notes. Repeat until you've forgotten nothing!
Watching Lydia’s videos is my go to for revision
My best study tip is to study with a friend as this helps you not only to keep yourself accountable but also you can do active recall by questioning each other on the topic
My best study tip is to make studying enjoyable for you, for instance I like to make doing my flashcards into a game and pretend im on a quiz show! I also like teaching things to my massive cuddly bear called scroggers, he is very smart now 😂
My best is flashcards, they really help me to stick to the point
Congratulations, Lydia!! It must feel so good to have exams behind you, and you can spend the rest of the summer relaxing and having fun! I've been following your journey since I started my undergraduate program here in Canada three years ago (studying Thanatology -- study of grief, loss, and death), and I am always so awed by your resilience. While my program is fairly demanding, I can't imagine studying medicine, so I think you and your peers are so incredible! I know your dad is watching you with so much pride and love. Enjoy your summer!
Thank you so much! That's so interesting, I've never met anyone who studies thanatology.. i must be a good case study for you this year haha. Good luck with the rest of your course and thank you for the lovely comment xx
My study tip is using Anki. I’ve found it so helpful during medicine to test myself, especially if I make the flashcards as questions rather than just facts.
Do you sit the UCAT before or after you apply on UCAS for unis??
Before! Once you have your UCAT result you can tactically apply to universities as some want higher scores and some accept slightly lower
Flashcards (digitally or physically) with questions relating to main topics. Plus you could also use the poster and the atlas after you graduate.
Study tip that may have some mixed opinions but I find when it comes down to crunch time, not listening to music helps me focus, I know some study well with music but personally I like the silence so I can hear myself think. Starting graduate entry medicine in less than 2 months aaah!
oh yessss when it's serious I'm in silence too ! Good luck for your first year x
@@LydiaMartinMedic thank you very much, enjoy your break before your final year 😁
Hi Lydia, I have been on Kennan’s website and cannot see an option for a physical copy of the anatomy atlas?
Hey!! Sorry I forgot to mention - the anatomy atlas isn't on the website but is available from amazon www.amazon.co.uk/Kenhub-Atlas-Human-Anatomy-Pascoe/dp/396298318X/ref=asc_df_396298318X?tag=bingshoppinga-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=79920939401986&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4583520404807510&psc=1
@@LydiaMartinMedic thankyou ☺️
hey, how are you i am study in medical school in frist year what is your advice to me?
Get experimenting with different study methods! Note taking, Anki flashcards, podcasts, drawing diagrams, passmedicine... there's so many ways to study you just have to fine tune a routine that works for you and that could take a few years so don't stress!
@@LydiaMartinMedic Aww, thank you very much. I'm a big fan and I watch all your videos and learn a lot from them. Excuse me, if l need something in medical can l tell you to help me for it 🙂 Finally, sorry, but I love you so much🌹❤️
In the UK do you guys have medical school for 5 years :?
Hey! The standard undergraduate course is 5 years. There are also 4 year graduate entry courses available. Some universities offer 6 year widening participation course too. :)
The best tip I can provide is try all studying styles to reach the appropriate one of yours🎉 "The only way is to try👌"
my best study tip is to make creative and funny mnemonics to remember things! ( Krebs cycle - Can I Keep Selling Socks For Money Officer )
A good night sleep is vital to be able to retain information! Do not give your sleep up for studying!
Very true!
My best study tip is to schedule time off into your week!! I take every Saturday as a ‘Medicine doesn’t exist’ day so that my brain gets a chance to breathe, and I’ve noticed that it helps me be SO much more productive on the other 6 days of the week 🥰 It’s definitely reduced the amount that I procrastinate and I’ve been so much better at looking after myself during exam season - and my results have been improving because of that too 🥹
