8 Years of Study Advice in 11 minutes

Hey friends, in this video I share eight years of study lessons — from becoming med school valedictorian to placing 1st in the internal medicine board exam. You’ll learn why the best time to start studying is right now, how spaced repetition helps you actually remember what you study, why active recall and practice tests beat passive note-taking, and how sleep and focus habits can make or break your exam performance. These simple strategies will help you study smarter, avoid burnout, and walk into your exams with confidence.
