Summary Comments : [TEDx Talks] What do top students do differently? | Douglas Barton | TEDxYouth@Tallinn

Va*******:

1.) Pay attention in class (grasping concepts)
2.)Go home and begin to study for exam
3.)Get distracted by a Ted Talk about studying
4.)Procrastinate
5.)Run out of time
6.)Cram at the last minute by memorizing the material like how Christians memorize memory verses.
7.)Get at least an 87% on exam

We********:

Summary:
1. Don't worry about IQ - not the best predictor of scores
2. Don't JUST work hard - if your methods aren't efficient, doing more significantly does little for improvement
3. Do loads of exam questions (exams are usually about application/analysis/evaluation, not about regurgitating facts)
4. Plan study timetables, starting by blocking out time that you're NOT going to study (increases meaning and joy - sustainable)

Top students are evaluated by their performance on exams, hence practice doing well on exams!

Ja******:

So my notes on this video...

Successful students

1. Doesnt worry about iq (its not how smart you are)
A. Self motivated
B. Cut out distractions
C. Self discipline

2. Dont just aim to work hard
A. Work hard doing the right thing(right technique)
B. Study effectively and don't use what doesn't work for you
C. Study what works for you

3. Model the top student(copy what top students do to get good grades)
A. Do practice exams a week before the exam
B. Make time table of when you will study, do homework and socialize and have fun

0:18 Maybe the giant screen saying 'don't worry about IQ' was somewhat of a hint.

Ka******:

4:32 watching cat videos on youtube is fun though

Al*******:

14:11 Conclusion

Ka******:

9:36 exam don't test what you remember but how you use what you remember

Na***********:

0:40 , most of the hands go up for hard work, In my experience good note taking and being interested in a subject will get you light years in advance of hard work

Vi********:

4:34
* 6 and a half hours of ted talks on YouTube

Va*******:

9:33

RO*********:

4:33 I think he expected people to laugh

ha*********:

9:34 it depends on education system u re in. I was in my country national education system and I 'd have to say it was 100% a test of memory however talking about a system like igsce system I totally agree with you.

Se****:

What he basically said (Which isn't much considering that he talked for >14 minutes straight:

- don’t only learn your notes by heart
- do not only remember information, but also be able to analyze information
- don’t put in your timetable when you’re gonna study, but put in when you’re
gonna do your hobbies. Study in the rest of the time.

La****:

He asked who thought IQ would raise their grades while the projector said not to worry about IQ

Su**************:

Learn for yourself, not for tests, do it your own way.

Es************:

"It is not what you remember, it is how u use your skills."

"Self-discipline is very important."

St***************:

Step one: Listen in class
Step two: do practice tests

Works literally every time

Aa*********:

Summary: Top students do more practice exams.

Sa*****************:

if you dont have time to watch the video just watch the final 10-20 seconds of the video for the conclusion.. believe me and thank me later

Da********:

honestly I wasn't doing those stuff back in high school but I was a top student. But when I got into a top university where everyone else is a top student, it's the only time I'm realizing the value of the stuff he was saying haha. Thanks for this. I hear it a lot of times but I guess not enough to get me moving haha

Hi***:

The best technique I ever applied was
1) Helped others prepare for exam by reiterating my concepts to them. This way others corrected me and I them.
2) Had a good 8 hours of sleep befote exam.
3) Told myself "now that you have dove into this own it!"

Fl***********:

Don't watch ted talks while you should be studying. Just a tip

Vi******:

i remember a guy in college was the first person in the classroom never arrived late or was absent...still barely passed. didnt make sense.

mi****:

POV: you're watching this when you have an essay about ancient china due in 3 hours

Ga*********:

do yourself a favor and skip to the last 30 second of the video.

Su*******:

Top students go to bed on time giving them an advantage over other sleepy students. That's a fact!!!

Sy********:

And again I find myself watching YouTube videos instead of learning for my exams

Is**************:

when you realize youtubing is a job

AB********:

The top students play a game called the “modern school system”

Mo***********************:

Quickly figure out what the curriculum wants from you and focus on delivering it with most efficient ways possible. In my school days, I chose to finish almost all school work before school was over, instead of having long lunch break. I tried my best to practice exams on a regular basis. Study smart first then study hard. So I got myself to top university and grad with 1st class honor. However, life is not about classroom or exam mastery. It’s useless to score well in class and unable to relate or to actually apply the knowledge to help others in real life. Balance wisely to achieve the best of both worlds.

Al***********:

Thank you! I hope everyone watching this is successful with their studies and life.

St***********:

The more 'practice exams' or past exams that students do the more likely that the same or very similar question will come up... which is teaching students how to pass exams rather than learn the concepts in depth. This is often because the lecturers are too lazy to change the exam questions. If their students are successful in exams, lecturers will be seen as successfully teaching the material which may not necessarily be the case but rather successfully teaching their students how to pass the exam.

Cl*********:

6 hours of cat videos^-^

Ty**********:

The first step to becoming a good student is wanting to learn how to study.

Ma**********:

Theres a big difference when you're actually interested in what you're studying as well.

Rx******:

"Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere."

Ju**********:

As a top student that just graduated, my advice:
Don't learn for anyone else but yourself. Knowledge is power. Even if you think you will never use it again, learn it. Always give different subjects a fair try. You might end up liking a subject you initially thought would be boring. Most importantly, have some self discipline. You don't have to give up all of your free time, but do your homework and study first. School is a job. You must treat it like one and put that at the top of your priorities. Also, don't give up. Just because you think you aren't smart doesn't mean that you cant work through it. I got way more success out of hard work than I ever did by relying solely on intellect. If you can somehow find a way to love working (i know it is hard to love that), that is the best thing. Personally i love working because its a small rush crossing to-dos off my list. In general im not a procrastinator so that makes me want to finish my work first. I encourage you to do the same. Former Navy SEAL Jocko Willink once said "discipline equals freedom". When you can discipline yourself to get work done quickly and efficiently, you will find you have more freedom than by procrastinating. Hope any of this helps. Anyone can do it. Believe in yourself and you're halfway there.

Is**:

Here's what I did every year in high school and it worked for me:

1) PAY ATTENTION IN CLASS
I know this seems like common sense but this is very very very important. By paying attention in class, I saved time after school and didn't have to review for the next day or study for quizzes.

2) Understand the concept before class ends
This is especially important for MATH class. I know, I know math class can be very boring. But if you understand the topic in class, you will save A LOT of time in homework and when studying for a quiz and test. Math is all about concepts, it's not something that you can cram. In school, I would usually understand the concept my teacher is saying and do extra practice in and after class. So far, I barely ever study for a math test (no joke).

3) First week matters a lot (Halo effect)
The impression you give to your teachers is VERY important. If you behave like a good student the first week or two weeks of school, teachers will treat you like a good student. Now, I'm not saying the teacher will give you grades you don't deserve. Most teachers grade fairly despite the student. But what it will do is make life easier for you in school. It will be easier for the teacher to talk to and give you tips and might even redo and test you did bad on.

4) Know how to study certain subjects
There are some subjects that you can cram (for me: bio) and some you cannot (for me: math). Knowing the difference can help a lot!

5) Study Smart
There is not "perfect" study technique. What works for me, might not work for you. For example, the first two years of high school I wasted my exam prep time by writing notes for the exam. In the end, this didn't help me at all! I didn't even go over any of the notes I wrote and it wasted my time. What I found was that I worked better by taking neat notes in class and reading the textbook. (This is for me of course). Basically, the point I'm trying to bring across is that you have four years of high school (which I'm guessing you're in). Those four years should give you enough time to try different studying methods to find the one best for you.

6) Do your homework!
Although you probably hear this all the time, but seriously just do it. And here's why:
-> gives good practice
Sometimes if I have a lot of homework for a certain subject I use the homework as study period (multitasking)
-> get on your teachers good side
If you are a study that ALWAYS does your homework, then sometimes teachers let it slide when you don't have it (depends on the teacher tho). This has happened to me many times

7) Do school work as soon as you reach home
I'm pretty sure everyone wants more free time. Don't you? What helps me in high school is doing all school related stuff ASAP (homework, study, etc). This helps a lot because after I'm done with school related stuff I'm basically free

8) Cram the right way
Don't think A+ students don't cram. Trust me, we do. We've just learnt our study habits so well that we know what subject and how to cram for it. I like to think of cramming as an art, it can be perfected for some subjects.

9) Don't pressure yourself
Yes, we all want to get good grades but don't pressure yourself. Many times when I put pressure on a test or exam, I tend to do bad in it. When I don't stress, I do well. For example, just this year I had a maths exam. I was VERY VERY sick in the exam that I dint even care what I got. I dint go over my paper, I skipped around and I felt sick. But guess what? That's the exam I get best in. I got a 99%

10) Befriend the nerds like me :)
I love helping people and most top students do too. If the teacher didn't explain something well, don't be afraid to ask someone who gets good grades. Also, if you surround yourself with smart people you'll learn what they do to pass a certain class. Also, the be time to be around smart people is during exam time or test time! We're basically overflowing with info and we need to share it with people!

Lastly, don't worry. Keep yourself motivated and fight on. Don't forget your social life and don't forget to study.

Good luck! Fighting!

Lo***:

Being the top student in my uni, I can briefly share some pointers here which I hope will be useful. Firstly, look at the bigger picture. Instead of memorising, comprehend the information or theories and think how can I apply it in real life. By doing so, you may have a better understanding. Secondly, set goals rather than just time table. Break down these goals, for instance, completing the first part of my assignment by next week and the second part two days later. Thirdly, don't aim to compete, aim to learn. Learning drives you to be curious each time and this will lead to a good habit in the long run.
