I'm not a med guy but this channel is gold. I applied this stuff to a machine learning class and absolutely aced it. A proper learning schedule, regular test exams, flash cards + anki image occlusion and there is no material you cannot conquer. This is coming from someone who previously had no clue how to properly learn!
Could you please tell me what video are you referring to ? Id like to watch it :)
Hi fucking five
This was great, thanks, been searching for "reading without subvocalization" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Riddleagan Undiscovered Ability Remedy - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now )? It is an awesome one of a kind product for discovering how to double your reading speed without the headache. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my m8 got excellent success with it.
Accounting student here!
Same here. I came to this channel to learn what are the learning tips that the med schools did to apply those for my study.
1 Determinite the goal of your reading
2 Change your speed moment constantly
Focus on the first and last senteces of paragraph (psedue skimming)
3 move your finger to push you out of your comfort zone
Dude I hope you find money on road
Thank you!!!
Dude you forgot the final part, sign up on audible using his code lol
@@justdewit lol
This was really helpful. We're reading and critiquing a lot of research papers in my genetics class right now, so I'll definitely try to incorporate some of these tips. Thanks Dr. Jubbal!
I read two books a week. In the last 18 months, I figured to have read 120 books. Knowledge is power.
How many hours per day?
it seems that u dont have anything in ur life but reading 😅😅
@@Ananiya2013 good question
Actually if you read 2 books a week, and you read for 18 month, that mean 77 weeks that means that you've read 154 books, so you are lying and you're not reading that much or you are just reading books of 50 to 150 pages, that's pathetic 😂
@@mindvalley5092 lmao maybe not specifically 2 books a week he means, maybe every 9 days or sometimes less sometimes more, but on average he reads that amount, fucking hell dont take everything so literarally
Your videos are well structured, to the point, informative and entertaining. It is refreshing to see wholesome content on youtube. I'm a college student (not in the medical field) and your videos have been helpful. The most important habit I've learned from your videos is how to maximize the use of my time. Keep it up👍
Brilliant video! I tried speed reading before, but I've found that making the time for reading is superior to trying to squeeze in 10 minutes of "speed reading".
Solid video Dr. Jubbal. Some of these techniques were explained in the amazing book, "the four hour workweek", but you did a much better job at explaining the concepts and how to apply them to different situations. THANKS!
Fantastic, I recently took a speed reading course but struggled maintaining comprehension for complex text. Thinking something was wrong with me, I went back to my original process of focussing on key words, line summaries and allowing regressions.
There is so much great advice here - particularly balancing fundamental trade off between 'speed and comprehension', I've learnt the hard way this is true. Well narrated and thank you.
Best summary of the current research that I've seen on CZcams. If you're confused by the competing claims on speed reading, you can trust this guy. Great work!
It is easier and faster to read technical works like research articles and medical textbooks if you have created a large knowledge tree or Schema of the subject in your mind. This means you have experience or already an extensive understanding of the material. If you are a newbie, then it is tough sledding since you don’t have a Schema yet. This is why attending physicians can read articles far faster than med students. I usually go through hundreds of articles at a sitting. With an extensive Schema, you just need to focus on what is important for you in the article. For example, on the use of Ketamine for depression, I focus on the outcome of studies, the mechanisms of action, the route and dose, the adverse effects, the pharmacology, etc. because I am interested in clinically applying it for certain patients. As another example, with experience an internist friend only needs to pay attention to 3 symptoms to tell if a person is having a heart attack. He doesn’t need to do a whole physical exam. The quality of the Schema one builds will determine the quality of physician.

Thanks for sharing

Boom - loved this! You're killing it every time with these. 🧠✨
ur saying that like he just roasted multiple people at once
No hype, no BS, just the facts. Love it and learned something valuable in the process. Thank you
Just got a new book, then this video came out right away. Perfect timing 👌
My background is finance and business, but since last 3 years, i have developed the interest into area of biology, nutrition science, health, how our body works, just come through this channel, and I really love your content , the best part of it is that backed by solid research.
One factor that I’ve personally found vitally important for reading comprehension is focused attention. I can read at 200 wpm, but if I’m distracted my comprehension and recall will be nil-whereas, when I’m focused I can up that to 400-500 wpm and have excellent recall/comprehension. Note: focused attention is mentally taxing, so taking breaks (pomodero technique) is also important!
Jon Wood sir i am a kind of a perfectionism seeker.... You see after 1 hour of faster than a ferrari reading speed with absolute and yes absolute understanding of the principles, its very mentally draining.
Can you suggest how to increase this mental power reserve (the attentiveness and awareness and the FLOW STATE(if you understand what i'm saying))
I need to study long hours coz of the material - i get mentally tired after digesting a particular amount of information.... This is the challenging part.... How can i increase more information digestion.
@@AbhijeetSingh-lf3uu I wanna know too
I can read at 1000-1500 wpm
@@TraderBen I can read at 2000 WPM 🤔 maybe there is something wrong with me cuz I am only 12 LOL and when I was doing the 1500 wpm I was reading it outloud 😶 If I can ask, how old are you? just wanna make sure this is average for my age
@@lilavanzandt7729yeah, I am 14 and I can now read up to 2000 and I don't know if its normal
most people read at 500-1000 wmp
This was extremely helpful for my endeavor to learn and retain more information. I hope to put out quality content like this
Learning how to learn is so important. Great video!
Loved your video!! Gained A deeper engagement in my reading and advantage doing this.
So again Thank You.

Thank you
Thank you!!!
Thank you!
Yisus thank you
So far the best fast reading video I have come across.
Thanks for the nice Video!
Great video as always brother. Keep it up. You truly earn a subscriber
This is the single best video on the topic of speed reading hands down
The anki cards helped me so much with material in undergrad studies!
I have read so many books that I naturally acquired speed reading and now watching these tips made me realize that
This is a great video. Keep up the good work and thank you
Gr8 Werk. (Great Work). Really Tight Production. Quite a knowledgeable Dude. Thanks for the Post.
Awesome content as always! Really helpful!
I missed your content so much!
Thanks for being back.
Cheers from a med student to a Doctor!
Bout to start CRNA school. You got a new subbie. Thanks for this info!
This is useful when I buy a book and a few chapters in I decide its not that great, then speed read the rest with just enough compensation to understand what’s happening. Thanks for the tips 🤗
Nicely put easy to understand
Hey med insiders I would wish you make a video showing how one can be a great student outside of class...and what one can do related to medicine but not necessarily in classroom set up .thank you
Great video!
Great video, i subscribed bro!
This video is amazing! Thank you so much!
When you started drawing the snow flakes, I suddenly fixated on that and immediately phased out everything you said after. 😂
I had to rewind back to the point when you first started drawing the snowflake and refocus on your words. 😂
Who else is watching this 1.5x speed !!
Wow!! You must be good at listening - I had to slow it down. So much information to take in!
I'm watching this with 2x
Oh yeahhhh meeeeaahh.
2x
A video on choosing a medical speciality pls
Thank you, the whole reading by peripheral vision has always seemed impossible.
thanks for clarifying
i have been trying peripheral reading which I found impossible. another other technique would reduce my comprehension. so i can go from 400-1000 so i agree its the purpose that matter.
Listen to this on 2.0 speed same info in half the time! Slowly build up from 1.25 up I find normal speed feels slow which is quite tangible even whilst gorging on YT videos. This has a knock on effect on my reading, I have an issue where I still narrate whilst reading to myself as I listen to YT at 2.0 my internal narration has gone to 2.0 too.
I'm going to use these methods tomorrow night when I read my book
Schulte table really does improve reading and its a fun way to do so!Its also a proven way to improve memory
Can't agree more superb content exactly upto the point.
How would apply your methods to studying philosophy in university? I'm struggling between comprehension of abstract ideas, often written in a confusing manner, and keeping up with the weekly reading assignments. Once I add in essays which are due it's even harder to go back and reread ideas I was lagging with in order to integrate them into papers which require in depth understanding of the text.
Awesome tips! Btw what is the name of the song? Looks like a nice tool to get down to studying :)
5:45
Wow. Great ways to get through reading assignments quickly.
Awesome!! Thank you!😀
One good thing that can increase your speed is the way text is written. In our law class, we were leaned to write effectively. The book is Synthesis: Legal Reading, Reasoning and Writing. If you follow the rules, you can write text that can be read very fast and speed reading somewhat help. I wouldn't try speed reading or photoreading on my machine learning texts. Photoreading may help in some easy texts like business books. Good advantage of Photoreading is that it establish a good way of communication between you, your innerface conscious and your subconscious mind.
Our brain can sometimes manifest and predict the incoming words so in that way you understand the cotext better. As a bookworm, I usually just scheme the whole page because I can sometimes predict the following words after another. Though that works best when reading with only your eyes and not really recommending when reading aloud, you might mess up or stutter words. So it's better to understand the thought of the text you're reading aloud so that way you can follow the flow of words in each sentence.
Can someone advise where to find some medical audiobooks? TIA!
Thank you Kevin Sir !👍
Hi Med School Team,
Can help me with the software you use to make the videos, please?
Thank you so very much ,it was very well explained.
1 determine your goal
2. Flexible with speed
3. Use a pacer
Hello I have a question, I wanna be a doctor, And I am naturally good at physics chem math I just need your advice what kind a doctor should i be?
thanks
I listen to everything at 2x speed, but, while reading, I find I have a hard time subvocalizing at that speed. I find it odd, because it's not as though my mouth structures need time to move into place to sound the phonemes. My current approach to increasing my reading speed is to read aloud as fast as I can. I hope it works!
Which program do you have been used to make these videos?
What would you recommend for speed reading a text on a computer screen (i.e textbook)? Or when you get headaches from a screen and can't print your notes or the book is too long to print?
Great video... Reading and learning, comprehension. I'm going to be a male nurse hopefully. Applying to University.
God damnit why must I like the fine details of science textbooks so much?
I have a MacBook and for those who do I use the voice over to read my online nursing books. Then while reading at whatever speed you’re comfortable with I highlight the important sections of the paragraph.
Very good thank you!
hi what about for comprehension exam like gamsat and mcat
Today I learn how to do speed reading
I am doing engineering
Love from india
Wow! Thank you for this! Defining a goal for each book is something I have never considered but can see how it would work. I am not a med student but my schooling does require a lot of research paper readings and I appreciate now being able to go through and determine how to evaluate what the goals are and how to adjust my reading approach to match. Thank you once again for this video. -Hanna
song name in the beginning of the vidoe, anyone, please? :P :D
I was able to read with a photographic memory. I had the memory dots running in front of my eyes as cursors /scanners.
Hi! Are there audio books for medical textbooks?
For those of you looking for the quick rundown. If you want to read a college textbook faster than you already are (if you're reading it slow) the relationship between comprehension and speed is inversely related. So if you read faster, you understand less. If you read slower you understand more. Just balance it out between the two based on what you are reading and plan accordingly. Textbooks take time to digest. Reading for fun can usually go by pretty quickly. Facts and figures that have to be observed take in more time vs just reading a fantasy novel.
Masterpiece video 👍
For me I cant use audible for learning purposes I just passively listen but dont really understand much what is being taught. But for reading for pleasure then audible Is amazing can do other stuff while listening. While for learning video and/or e/books work best for me since I can just skip through them skin through them see examples texts boded words skip through pages to see what the main ideas are and so on while taking notes on my ipad.
Hello doc. How would you increase your speed of reading and comprehension while preparing for CARS ? Is there any techniques or suggestions that you would like to share with me ? I am an average reader and I am kinda slow in reading. Hoping to hear back from you. Take care
How can we know if a topic in a chapter is superfluous and not important so that we could confidently skip them according to 7:58? Thanks.
Thank you so much.
I used to read myself when I was 9 years old after my unknown illness I had when I was e and a half, my mum said I was s nightmare to get to read at night sure practically read every kids book on the market and eventually she had to give up and just let me cry and then I read on my own, then during school iv been reading on and off but the longest reading slump was a long time ago, I finally got out of it and started reading more maturely in 2020 thanks to the pandemic lockdown, I have a slight learning disability and partially sighted I can now read 20 pages a hr, that’s 48 books a year, 300-800 page book I can read 10 chapters every 7 hours and the now I’m reading Malazan book of the falling I’m like 2-3 chapters a day if unlucky I’m a chapter a day because they have many pages and long chapters, now I can read or listen to an audiobook at 2x max on CZcams so why can’t I speed read? I throught because it could be because I am partially sighted and good hearing, I can as to say I have eyes on the back of my head not really I wish lol, what I mean if someone is sneezing up behind me or taping my left shoulder and standing the opposite I can allways tell it’s like I do have eyes on the back of my head lol, I mean I have tunnel vision and I can type fast which I never was in hightschool but then after being used to it finally came to me, but when comes to reading I was thought to digest the words comprehend it take my time, I talk fast, so I just don’t understand why I can’t speed read, maybe with my poor attention span, I mean why I want to be a speed reader is because I’m buying books faster than I can read them like noe I have 293 and i buy more books like 1-5 books a week and I can’t go past a book place withought buying books, I just love reading it makes me feel happy.
Great video thank you~~\!!
'Bellony' 😁 this word cracks me up
Thank you
best speed reading video
Useful.... Thanks sir
Hi!No need to read fast but to dowdload in brain what you read.I greet You.
Would you recommend Audible with textbooks?
2:27 It is not impossible to smothly go from one end of the other end. Just cross your eyes slightly and move your head. With some practice anyone can do it.
Why am I here when I am a speed reader already- Well, something new to learn.
Tell me ur tips pls
One question: how to read faster and comprehend better a law text? banking, taxation, business regulation or EU Directive?
Speaking of subvocalization, if you mouth the words that is really slow. There is actually two things going here, when people silently say the words to themselves but their mouth is still moving, and then just thinking the words. I don't really suggest to get rid of thinking the words in your mind because your comprehension can all but disappear in that case. But eliminating actual mouth movements and stuff will greatly improve your speed, if you do those things.
Great video, appreciate it!!
Do you know anything about the science behind audial comprehension at higher speeds?
If gradually increasing, I feel like I can listen and comprehend at a similar level up to 2.25x.
What software do you use to make your videos? It's really cool! Great video :-)
Excellent
I never understood the pacer tool. My finger moves slower than I read and my mind is distracted by having to think about having to move said finger.
I have the same problem. Can't spend more than a minute with a pacer.
Same problem with me too.
May be our brain doesn't work like that and we should read in the way we are more comfortable with
@@aarizhussain1299 I assume that it is a sign of our own advanced brilliance. But that's me.
I never thought about this before but I always use my finger when reading physical books. I think it is a habit I picked up when I was a kid, but I read large texts online all the time without a pacer with no issues. I think it probably really does help when you are young or if you are a poor reader but with more experience it doesn't really matter that much.
@@Lilitha11 One thing I do that helps a bit is to use a straight edge like a ruler or a book marker to "push down" my reading. But my best method is really just *wanting* to find out what happens next.
Damn this is so powerful
Iam very slow
😥
And I work harder to pass
And many times i get good scores
I need a update to my speed
give me an book advice, any source>?
Completely Different question: Which Software and technique did you use to make this Video ? Thanks
and by the way the Video is super cool and the message received :)
I'm reading for pleasure, yeah, but I also want to minimize the time I'm spending on it. I don't know how to do that! Your video was great, but it couldn't help me. My speed is like reading 26 pages in 50 minutes. It doesn't fit in my everyday schedule :))
Tbh, i comprehend better if someone speaks faster ( like your video at 2x or 1.5x speed) or i read faster by vocally reading the words faster. Otherwise i lose attention.
But i lose mental energy faster this way..... This video at 2x is just a little mentally draining and 1.5x is the sweet spot.
I'm on 2x too maybe I'm just hyperactive
@@brendonlim6198... Maybe... But if that's normal for you... Great... The feeling of being able to speak and comprehending at speeds like ben shapiro is in itself.... Grand
Same . And yeah, it does take a lot of mental energy. And also, I get very hyperactive if there is too much text to read
Snap
Sweet spot lmao. Absolutely true abt the speed thing tho.. it's like being bombarded with info at such a speed
Do audio books really work?
