Why do we fail exams? (5 mistakes to avoid next time)

- Failure is a crushing defeat that we all experience at some point in our lives. As students, exam failure often causes us to question our intelligence and capabilities, whilst we shamefully contemplate what others will think of us. But through this whirlwind of emotions, one singular question resonates within our mind. “Why?”. In some cases it may be obvious and very fair; “I just didn’t put the work in”. But in other cases, the inability to find a sound answer can be torture. We often resort to blaming our intelligence and inability. However, that is far, far away from the actual truth. In this video, I introduce my framework of the most common reasons that cause people to fail, splitting them up into controllable and uncontrollable factors affecting us either in the preparation phase or performance on the exam day. I focus mainly on the controllable factors to help us see where we may be going wrong and importantly how we can change to make sure we never fail again. Answering the “why”, will be the first step to recovery and success. I really hope I can help you along in your journey. I wish you the best. #exam #failure #recovery #student

Omg that's exactly what I do as soon as the exam time starts. I'd just flip around through pages and read the Qs ASAP while answering the ones I am completely confident about 😭 I can't tell you how relieved I feel after doing so and how much confidence it brings me when answering the paper.
Thank You for the amazing video❤❤ The editing as always was on point.👌😍
Haha honestly helps so much and has scientific reason as to why! Thanks so much 🙌
I was once taking a fiendish multiple choice exam which changed format on each page: you know the kind where you have four statements and you check 1 if A, B and C are correct, 2 if B and D are correct, etc, etc: then next page it's a different scheme entirely. The science content was not too bad, just the mental gymnastics.
Anyway I worked out that it was not going to be possible to answer everything in the time available. Some exams have always been like that, especially in maths, where the aim is to solve as many problems as possible in the time available.
I figured that all of us were in the same quandary, so I just put my head down and got on with it, while a few other candidates protested to the invigilators. This was in Dublin, so amazingly they agreed and gave us an extra half hour.
The teutonically efficient English would not have done that, and they would also have started the exam on time. Anyway I managed to answer everything and was one of the 90% who passed. So no need to worry!
Thanks bro I love watching people like you it gives me motivation to also become a doctor
Thanks man 🙌 Best of luck!
Sorry if I am blind or stupid, but I don’t see the links you reference to the high yield study strategies and when I search for the names you show in the pictures I don’t get any results. Does anyone know what videos he is talking about?
Great video and tips!!
Thanks so much 🙌
Great content Dr Shaene!
Thanks so much 🙌
For history exams, I am almost giving a detailed speech (to myself) about what happens in key times and referring to notes when I need to- then I do practice questions. Is this effective?
Yeeeessss - this is active recall in action and one of the most effective strategies!
No one is talking about the fact he did 70 questions in 30 minutes
0:19 your dad looks so cute I swear !!
