In this video, we're taking a look at the method that my friend Osaid used to rank 1st at Cambridge University Medical School. He was consistently in the top 3 overall, and ranked 1st in several subjects using this method. It involves taking Active Recall to its logical extreme (the most efficient study technique, backed by decades of evidence).

Plot twist: The friend Ali's talking about is actually himself but he doesn't want to brag that he ranked 1st
Guys honestly, it works. I used active recall for ONE of my exams last year, and by far, it was my BEST. RESULT. i'm telling you guys wallah. i got a 91% in EU LAW. and btw, i didn't go to a single lecture all year. i just read the lecture handout, created questions for myself, looked more in-depth into topics i did not know, but always went back to the q's and active recall! Wish I had had the time to start earlier and do it for all my courses. Thank you Ali! God Bless!
I like how he keeps posting active recall videos. It’s like he needs to give us spaced repetition reminders to us about the concept itself
I recently tried something similar to this, based on active recall where I stopped taking notes for one module and I got 100% in that module (Gastro). This 100% works
Imagine being the guy or woman that has the highest grades in your year at Harvard or Oxford or Cambridge.
"How to rank 1st at Cambridge".. I can't even rank first at a mediocre university in a country with 3 million people...
i feel like i have wasted 10 years of my life studying the hard, wrong way 😭
If you're an engineering student or similar, use this method when studying theory questions! For the calculation questions just practice practice practice with spaced repetition as Ali says!🙌 Helped me so much with my exams!
The more people that hear about active recall, the higher the grade boundaries would be.
"this is anatomy, which is anatomy" idk why but j cracked up lol 😂
-convert everything in questions
1) Instead of summarizing just write down questions without their answers
Thank you for this! I was able to improve my score significantly by using this method and spaced repetition.
Imagine having Ali abdaal as your teacher , you couldn’t be more blessed
I’m really happy about how I was insecure about my grades, and being insecure led my curiosity to figure out how to actively study and recall. Be curious guys.

Hearing you say “I can’t remember that” made me feel a lot better about my current position in medical school. I’m about to start my clinical years and feel like there is so much I can’t remember from my preclinical years.
How I study for exams ?
I feel like active recall is just scary cos we're so used to other feeeedingg methods, but I think it's definitely the most effective
Not knowing this in 2002, our history teacher taught us JUST by dictating to us questions and their full answers. Told us to just write the questions and try to answer them again and again. I did so in writting (in high school still had time for this) then checked with the original the teacher gave us. I hate history and am bad at remembering the info by heart. However this way I scored 100% on the national test. It was by far the best way to study! So good, that I try to help my son learn the same way.
