WEBVTT NOTE This file was generated by Descript 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.280 Nate: In this video, we are going to go through a super simple strategy, 00:00:04.530 --> 00:00:09.540 super simple idea, which is something you already do actually, about how 00:00:09.540 --> 00:00:14.520 to score 10 to 20 points higher using the SuperfastCPA study tools. 00:00:14.790 --> 00:00:18.120 And this is just in addition to your main study session. 00:00:18.330 --> 00:00:22.920 So whatever your main study session is for your CPA study, you just add 00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:25.140 this idea into your daily routine. 00:00:25.410 --> 00:00:27.000 So the idea is simply this. 00:00:27.705 --> 00:00:32.655 You have your main study session, whether that's with Becker, Roger, 00:00:32.655 --> 00:00:36.705 Wiley, whatever your main review course is, and whatever you do for that. 00:00:37.095 --> 00:00:37.485 Okay? 00:00:37.725 --> 00:00:41.894 What we recommend if you're following our PRO course strategies, is a 00:00:41.900 --> 00:00:47.265 two hour main study session and then this idea of "mini sessions." 00:00:47.535 --> 00:00:53.295 So mini sessions just means using the SuperfastCPA study tools from your 00:00:53.295 --> 00:00:57.989 phone on our app all throughout your day, and the idea is just to use the 00:00:57.995 --> 00:01:03.300 study tools from your phone as you go about your normal day, over and over 00:01:03.300 --> 00:01:09.210 and over as many times as you can, as the weeks go by in your study process. 00:01:09.240 --> 00:01:12.120 So first, let's go over the why. 00:01:12.300 --> 00:01:13.590 Why would you do this? 00:01:15.720 --> 00:01:22.800 So the first point is that the deep level, understanding the comprehension and the 00:01:22.805 --> 00:01:30.150 retention of the topics, it has to come in layers as you re-hit all the topics many, 00:01:30.150 --> 00:01:32.040 many times throughout your study window. 00:01:32.370 --> 00:01:37.860 Now, of course, the traditional study approach is to go into your review course, 00:01:38.160 --> 00:01:43.870 do each lesson one by one, but you really don't look back at anything as you go 00:01:43.990 --> 00:01:49.455 through the weeks and all the lessons, and then you essentially, you realize 00:01:49.455 --> 00:01:53.595 that you've forgotten half of it after about five or six weeks, and then you're 00:01:53.600 --> 00:01:58.755 essentially trying to relearn everything in a one to two week long final review. 00:01:59.205 --> 00:02:03.825 And that is the general study process that most CPA candidates follow 00:02:04.065 --> 00:02:07.575 that results in the 50% fail rates. 00:02:07.815 --> 00:02:11.535 So only half of the people who go in for any given section 00:02:12.275 --> 00:02:13.245 actually pass their exam. 00:02:13.665 --> 00:02:18.075 And that's because that process, when I describe it that way, it's 00:02:18.075 --> 00:02:19.935 clear why it's not very effective. 00:02:20.174 --> 00:02:23.894 Now, this idea that the deep level understanding, comprehension, and 00:02:23.894 --> 00:02:28.185 retention of the topics, it's much more effective when it comes in 00:02:28.185 --> 00:02:34.575 layers through repeat exposure to all the topics over and over and over. 00:02:35.234 --> 00:02:38.565 Now, for example, this is an example that everyone will understand. 00:02:39.359 --> 00:02:44.609 You simply cannot learn a new language from one massive deep 00:02:44.609 --> 00:02:47.070 dive study session, right? 00:02:47.519 --> 00:02:52.680 You could maybe memorize a bunch of vocabulary words in a new language, 00:02:52.890 --> 00:02:57.210 maybe how you know how to construct verbs or sentences and how it's 00:02:57.215 --> 00:02:59.370 different than English or whatever. 00:02:59.610 --> 00:03:03.090 But you will not have a deep, intuitive understanding or a 00:03:03.090 --> 00:03:08.910 functional understanding to be able to use a new language from one study 00:03:08.910 --> 00:03:13.680 session, even if it was somehow this 48 hour bootcamp that you went to. 00:03:14.640 --> 00:03:18.270 Something that's that complex, you just will not deeply learn it 00:03:18.540 --> 00:03:21.000 from one deep dive study session. 00:03:21.600 --> 00:03:27.630 That obviously only can happen from repeat exposure over and over and over. 00:03:27.930 --> 00:03:31.560 So when we use the new language example, everybody understands that. 00:03:31.620 --> 00:03:37.350 So the next point here is that your main session plus mini sessions 00:03:37.380 --> 00:03:42.030 through your day is dramatically more effective for this deep comprehension 00:03:42.150 --> 00:03:46.915 and retention, than one longer study session done all at once each day. 00:03:47.245 --> 00:03:52.375 Now you can Google this separately, this term, "retrieval learning," and this is 00:03:52.375 --> 00:03:58.285 a form of studying that researchers have found is dramatically more effective for, 00:03:58.615 --> 00:04:05.340 again, deep comprehension and retention of a new topic than one long study 00:04:05.340 --> 00:04:08.130 session done all at once, at one time. 00:04:08.640 --> 00:04:14.550 And the idea of retrieval learning is that it's just many small study 00:04:14.550 --> 00:04:19.890 sessions that are shorter basically, in multiple times a day, and that is 00:04:19.894 --> 00:04:22.080 exactly what these mini sessions are. 00:04:22.200 --> 00:04:26.549 Now the next point is that this is much more convenient. 00:04:27.045 --> 00:04:32.595 It's much easier to accomplish a two hour main study session and then these 00:04:32.595 --> 00:04:37.635 mini sessions as you go about your normal day, like you always do, than it is to 00:04:37.635 --> 00:04:42.285 try and find a four to five hour period where you can sit and do your main study 00:04:42.285 --> 00:04:44.715 session for four to five hours at a time. 00:04:45.315 --> 00:04:50.445 So therefore, it's much easier to stay consistent with, and to stick 00:04:50.445 --> 00:04:55.320 to your study plan week to week, and of course, this works better. 00:04:55.620 --> 00:04:58.650 So I have a couple of points here to expound on this. 00:04:58.830 --> 00:05:03.390 So instead of trying to find the time to study four to five hours all at once 00:05:03.750 --> 00:05:09.090 and a four to five hour study session, you basically have to fight yourself the 00:05:09.090 --> 00:05:14.340 whole time to focus and stay productive, and you're doing that day after day after 00:05:14.340 --> 00:05:20.310 day when you're already tired at night, it is much easier to stay productive 00:05:20.340 --> 00:05:25.950 for a two hour study session, than it is for a four to five hour study session. 00:05:26.520 --> 00:05:27.419 I mean, obviously. 00:05:27.689 --> 00:05:32.429 So what is much more effective is to do a two hour session, ideally in the 00:05:32.429 --> 00:05:36.809 morning before work, and then you just do these mini sessions throughout your day. 00:05:37.080 --> 00:05:42.210 This way, instead of having to study all evening after work, you are done 00:05:42.330 --> 00:05:46.890 studying by the time you're done with work, so that you have your evenings to 00:05:46.890 --> 00:05:53.390 take a complete mental break away from work and study, which of course makes 00:05:53.390 --> 00:05:58.430 the study process much more sustainable as the weeks and the months go by. 00:05:58.760 --> 00:06:01.130 It's much easier on your mental health. 00:06:01.340 --> 00:06:05.520 It doesn't feel like your entire life is just work and study. 00:06:05.820 --> 00:06:11.610 Now, of course, when your whole life is just work and then study every evening, 00:06:11.910 --> 00:06:16.890 for weeks and months on end, your life gets really miserable really quickly. 00:06:16.950 --> 00:06:20.430 So the next point on this is, why wouldn't you do this? 00:06:20.460 --> 00:06:22.260 You know, you already have a phone. 00:06:22.515 --> 00:06:26.174 You already look at it several hours a day all added up. 00:06:26.564 --> 00:06:30.044 Just check your screen time report to see how much time you're actually 00:06:30.105 --> 00:06:34.605 spending looking at your phone, even if you are an incredibly busy person. 00:06:35.084 --> 00:06:40.365 Somehow, in all those little thirty second, two minute, five minute chunks 00:06:40.370 --> 00:06:45.255 of time, you are spending two to three hours a day looking at your phone already. 00:06:45.704 --> 00:06:50.745 So this is something you already do and all you're doing with this process is 00:06:50.745 --> 00:06:58.080 making that time add extra "insurance" that you get a passing score on test day. 00:06:59.789 --> 00:07:03.449 Because, you know, you've already spent thousands of dollars, you've dedicated 00:07:03.449 --> 00:07:09.270 months of your life to passing these exams, so it only makes sense to do 00:07:09.299 --> 00:07:14.950 everything you possibly can to pass them as quickly and as efficiently as possible. 00:07:14.955 --> 00:07:17.159 So now let's get into the "what." 00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:25.350 So the SuperfastCPA audio notes and review notes, these are not 00:07:25.350 --> 00:07:27.210 just a summary of each topic. 00:07:28.440 --> 00:07:32.610 To create these notes, we've gone through thousands of past exam 00:07:32.610 --> 00:07:37.710 questions, and we only include the info for each topic that shows up 00:07:37.710 --> 00:07:41.070 repeatedly in questions and simulations. 00:07:41.430 --> 00:07:44.850 Now, if you've watched one of our free trainings or the PRO course 00:07:44.850 --> 00:07:51.990 videos, you know that a key thing to understand about the, the way that the 00:07:51.990 --> 00:07:56.970 material is presented in your review course is, there's basically two 00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:01.860 contexts, two types of information your review course presents or gives you. 00:08:02.340 --> 00:08:08.910 There is the basically, uh, the narrative context, meaning the textbook or the video 00:08:08.910 --> 00:08:13.110 lecture where everything's explained, and you get this mountain of information 00:08:13.110 --> 00:08:18.985 for every single topic, but then, if you compare that to what actually shows up 00:08:18.985 --> 00:08:24.054 in the questions for any given topic, you will see that that the stuff that shows 00:08:24.054 --> 00:08:29.995 up in questions or simulations, is a much smaller portion of what's presented 00:08:30.205 --> 00:08:32.544 in the video lecture or the chapter. 00:08:33.334 --> 00:08:38.615 So the idea here is that, by going through all these past exam questions 00:08:38.765 --> 00:08:43.515 and creating our notes and audios based on the parts of each topic that actually 00:08:43.520 --> 00:08:48.245 shows up in question format, that means when you read or listen to our notes, 00:08:48.485 --> 00:08:51.185 it is very high leverage information. 00:08:51.425 --> 00:08:57.224 You're directly learning and repeating and re-exposing your brain to the 00:08:57.224 --> 00:09:02.175 information that you're going to see in questions on a per topic basis. 00:09:02.324 --> 00:09:08.145 The next thing is that our quizzes use simplified questions with round, easy 00:09:08.145 --> 00:09:13.905 to deal with numbers, so that you can still learn on the go, easily practice 00:09:13.905 --> 00:09:19.185 the concepts and the calculations without needing a scratch paper or a calculator. 00:09:19.875 --> 00:09:24.555 So a few things on this: this is like the big issue with the apps 00:09:24.555 --> 00:09:25.905 that come with your review course. 00:09:26.415 --> 00:09:32.055 Basically, it's a review course in an app, which is kind of a nightmare. 00:09:32.235 --> 00:09:36.364 It's not very feasible or practical to try and use it on the go in 00:09:36.364 --> 00:09:39.829 these little three to five minute chunks, as you've probably found out. 00:09:39.949 --> 00:09:44.630 When you try to take a quiz on your review course app, you get full strength exam 00:09:44.630 --> 00:09:50.719 questions a lot of times that aren't even formatted nicely for the mobile view. 00:09:51.349 --> 00:09:56.390 But besides that, it's not practical to carry around scratch paper and 00:09:56.390 --> 00:10:00.170 a calculator just to try to use your review course app while you're 00:10:00.170 --> 00:10:01.739 waiting in line at the grocery store. 00:10:02.249 --> 00:10:08.739 Our app is dead simple, and that's for one reason: so that you'll actually use it. 00:10:09.249 --> 00:10:14.379 So again, the review course apps have so many options just to generate and open up 00:10:14.379 --> 00:10:17.990 a quiz, that you just end up not using it. 00:10:18.260 --> 00:10:22.459 If it takes like two minutes to click through 10 options just to 00:10:22.459 --> 00:10:26.630 start a quiz, you're just naturally not going to use that very much. 00:10:26.810 --> 00:10:30.079 You're definitely not gonna use it when you have, you know, only two to 00:10:30.079 --> 00:10:34.670 three minutes before a meeting starts, or as you walk down the hallway to 00:10:34.670 --> 00:10:37.400 go to a meeting, or while you're waiting in line at the grocery store. 00:10:37.640 --> 00:10:41.030 You're just not gonna use it in all these little chunks in your day, where 00:10:41.030 --> 00:10:47.824 you could be using that time to increase your hypothetical future test day score. 00:10:47.854 --> 00:10:52.114 So with our app, in literally two to three taps, you're either 00:10:52.175 --> 00:10:55.594 reading the notes or listening to the audios or taking the quiz. 00:10:55.714 --> 00:11:00.604 So because our quiz questions are simplified and easier to get through and 00:11:00.609 --> 00:11:04.984 understand and just deal with, you can actually get through a five question mini 00:11:04.984 --> 00:11:09.694 quiz in as little as two minutes, again, while you walk down the hall on your 00:11:09.694 --> 00:11:15.124 way to a meeting, or while you're on the last 5 or 10 minutes of your lunch hour. 00:11:15.334 --> 00:11:18.035 Or you can read the notes while you're in line at the grocery store. 00:11:18.515 --> 00:11:25.114 Every single mini session increases your odds of passing on test day just a little 00:11:25.114 --> 00:11:31.614 bit, but it's all these little miniature sessions of repeat exposure over several 00:11:31.614 --> 00:11:37.464 weeks, multiple times a day, that just adds a huge amount of deep retention and 00:11:37.464 --> 00:11:39.924 comprehension of all these key topics. 00:11:40.014 --> 00:11:46.044 So the next point is that our notes and audios are very concise, yet they hit 00:11:46.074 --> 00:11:51.904 the "80/20" of each topic, and I kind of just explained that when I explained how 00:11:51.904 --> 00:11:56.734 we create the notes and audios by going through thousands of past exam questions. 00:11:57.064 --> 00:12:00.814 So because you can get through our notes in a few hours of reading or 00:12:00.819 --> 00:12:06.639 listening, it means that you can easily get through them every few days through 00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:10.389 this idea of just mini sessions, you know, an hour or two of mini sessions 00:12:10.389 --> 00:12:14.949 all added up each day, you'll be getting through the notes and audios several 00:12:14.949 --> 00:12:19.749 times a week, which allows you over the course of several weeks, to hit the 00:12:19.749 --> 00:12:25.599 "80/20" of all topics many, many times as you go through your study process. 00:12:25.779 --> 00:12:29.259 Now, going back to that learning a new language example. 00:12:30.114 --> 00:12:35.324 If you compared two different approaches: one person goes to the 48 hour 00:12:35.354 --> 00:12:39.234 bootcamp, a one time bootcamp where they're gonna try to learn French. 00:12:39.294 --> 00:12:39.714 Okay? 00:12:40.104 --> 00:12:45.204 And then the other person they study a little bit each day, and 00:12:45.394 --> 00:12:48.654 they're constantly using an app on their phone where they're practicing 00:12:48.654 --> 00:12:51.804 things over and over, they're hitting the same things over and over. 00:12:52.074 --> 00:12:56.514 So after five to six weeks, who do you think will have a better 00:12:57.234 --> 00:13:00.174 functional grasp of this new language they're trying to learn? 00:13:00.504 --> 00:13:03.084 And I mean, the answer is obvious. 00:13:03.264 --> 00:13:08.079 Now on the other side, one thing people don't think about, it's really 00:13:08.079 --> 00:13:14.139 hard to get this repeat exposure if it takes 30 to 40 hours to get 00:13:14.139 --> 00:13:16.299 through the audios one time, you know? 00:13:16.299 --> 00:13:20.319 So there are other audio notes out there that are just a summary of everything, 00:13:20.319 --> 00:13:24.519 they're basically just the audio taken from video lectures, so it takes 30 to 00:13:24.524 --> 00:13:29.829 40 hours or more, just to get through the audios one time, and all that does 00:13:29.829 --> 00:13:33.279 is it just gives you another mountain of information to try and deal with. 00:13:33.579 --> 00:13:37.839 It's hard for anything to stick because you have to listen to 30 to 40 hours of 00:13:37.839 --> 00:13:40.479 content just to get through them one time. 00:13:40.810 --> 00:13:43.689 You know, you'd be lucky to get through that one time before your exam. 00:13:44.229 --> 00:13:49.409 So it's just not that helpful from a retention component, or this idea of 00:13:49.469 --> 00:13:54.029 trying to re-hit the most important parts of each topic many, many 00:13:54.029 --> 00:13:56.189 times before you see it on the exam. 00:13:56.429 --> 00:13:58.949 So now we're gonna go into the "how": how do you actually 00:13:58.949 --> 00:14:00.809 implement this on a daily basis? 00:14:01.229 --> 00:14:05.039 This is pretty self-explanatory, but I'm gonna give you a few tips that 00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:06.479 will make this a lot more effective. 00:14:06.869 --> 00:14:10.799 So you wanna work your way through our notes and audios two to three 00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:15.809 times per week from the app, again, using all the little gaps in your day. 00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:19.889 So here's a few other tips on this. 00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:24.689 Whenever you're driving, walking the dog, doing dishes, doing normal 00:14:24.689 --> 00:14:27.839 stuff around the house, you can be listening to the audio notes. 00:14:28.349 --> 00:14:33.389 Really, it's just anytime you'd normally listen to music or podcasts, you just 00:14:33.419 --> 00:14:35.789 switch that for listening to the audios. 00:14:36.499 --> 00:14:39.899 Whenever you'd normally look at your phone throughout the day, answer texts from 00:14:39.899 --> 00:14:44.639 your friends, instead of social media, you would just read 5 to 10 pages in the 00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:47.279 review notes and take quizzes on the app. 00:14:47.849 --> 00:14:54.344 So, obviously I understand, doing this isn't as much fun as listening 00:14:54.344 --> 00:15:00.344 to music and scrolling TikTok, but your odds of passing are so much 00:15:00.344 --> 00:15:02.744 higher by doing this consistently. 00:15:03.224 --> 00:15:08.804 So it's much easier to be kind of this study maniac and use every spare minute 00:15:08.804 --> 00:15:10.554 you have doing these mini sessions. 00:15:11.004 --> 00:15:15.004 Do that for a few months to get these exams outta your life forever 00:15:15.004 --> 00:15:19.234 instead of dragging this process out to be over a year or more. 00:15:19.384 --> 00:15:24.784 Now, if you've had the taste of failing one section and you know what that feels 00:15:24.784 --> 00:15:29.284 like, feels like the last few weeks of your life were just a complete waste, that 00:15:29.289 --> 00:15:34.264 should be motivation enough that you'll do whatever it takes to not fail again. 00:15:34.564 --> 00:15:38.764 So switching out, you know, your favorite phone activities for these 00:15:38.764 --> 00:15:43.774 mini sessions for a few months is a small price to pay to get these exams 00:15:43.779 --> 00:15:47.644 out of your life five or six months sooner than you would otherwise. 00:15:47.704 --> 00:15:52.144 Now, the next key point on how to use these study tools, when you're 00:15:52.144 --> 00:15:56.574 using the notes and audios, start from the beginning and work your way 00:15:56.574 --> 00:16:00.989 through, all the way through, from start to finish, and then start over. 00:16:01.199 --> 00:16:04.979 So that every few days, you're getting all the way through the review notes and 00:16:04.979 --> 00:16:07.889 audio notes over and over and over again. 00:16:08.789 --> 00:16:12.929 So a few points on this: when you're reading the notes or listening to 00:16:12.929 --> 00:16:15.359 the audios, just read or listen. 00:16:15.689 --> 00:16:19.769 It's totally fine if you don't fully understand or hear 00:16:19.769 --> 00:16:22.019 everything every time you use them. 00:16:22.199 --> 00:16:26.309 When you're driving, listening to the audio notes, there are going to be times 00:16:26.309 --> 00:16:28.634 where you zone out, that's not a big deal. 00:16:29.024 --> 00:16:33.374 All of that long-term retention and understanding will come through all the 00:16:33.374 --> 00:16:35.264 repetition you're going to be doing. 00:16:35.714 --> 00:16:40.304 Also, and this is another key point, very common question we get, do not 00:16:40.304 --> 00:16:44.474 worry about going ahead of what you've fully studied in your review course. 00:16:44.834 --> 00:16:48.584 I mean if you think about it, in your review course, it's obviously gonna take 00:16:48.584 --> 00:16:52.154 you five to six weeks to get through all the lessons, and what I'm saying with 00:16:52.154 --> 00:16:55.574 our review notes and audios is that you can get through all the review notes, 00:16:56.224 --> 00:17:01.594 and all the audios in just two or three days of just normal reading or listening. 00:17:02.164 --> 00:17:04.714 So of course, you're gonna be going ahead of what you've fully 00:17:04.714 --> 00:17:06.244 studied in your review course. 00:17:06.574 --> 00:17:11.164 Now because our notes, audios, and quizzes are simplified and easy to 00:17:11.164 --> 00:17:15.394 understand, when you go ahead of where you're at in your review course, 00:17:15.724 --> 00:17:20.314 you're just getting a big picture understanding of new topics in advance. 00:17:20.554 --> 00:17:24.899 That way when you get to them in your review course, you have a headstart, 00:17:25.109 --> 00:17:29.040 the topics and the questions will make sense faster, it'll be easier 00:17:29.040 --> 00:17:34.350 for you to understand it, and again, your process just rolls along quickly 00:17:34.354 --> 00:17:38.370 and efficiently because you have a pretty good idea already about 00:17:38.370 --> 00:17:40.109 the main points of these topics. 00:17:40.199 --> 00:17:44.870 Now, another key point, and this was pointed out to me by some of the 00:17:45.419 --> 00:17:49.824 podcast interviews that I've done with our past successful customers, 00:17:50.394 --> 00:17:55.194 it's really important to give yourself benchmarks to hit, so that you're 00:17:55.194 --> 00:17:59.094 actually making it through the notes and audios two to three times a week. 00:17:59.394 --> 00:18:02.844 Now what I mean is, well, here's the example. 00:18:04.875 --> 00:18:10.064 If the FAR notes are 200 pages long, and the FAR audios are three hours long, 00:18:10.484 --> 00:18:15.435 that means that you need to try and read about 70 pages a day, which is not much, 00:18:15.435 --> 00:18:17.895 this is not like a textbook material. 00:18:17.895 --> 00:18:22.484 You'll see once you read the notes, they're super quick to read, easy 00:18:22.484 --> 00:18:24.044 to understand, like I keep saying. 00:18:24.534 --> 00:18:28.494 So you would, you would aim to read about 70 pages a day and listen to 00:18:28.494 --> 00:18:30.294 the audios for about an hour a day. 00:18:30.894 --> 00:18:36.069 So I point this out because it's easy to kind of have this arbitrary goal in mind 00:18:36.459 --> 00:18:41.559 to just try and like, I'm just gonna try this, you know, I'm gonna use the, the 00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:46.389 study tools, do the mini sessions, and you really only get to it maybe two or three 00:18:46.389 --> 00:18:51.979 times a day, when you're first starting, giving yourself benchmarks to hit so that 00:18:52.189 --> 00:18:57.449 as long as I do this today, that means that on a week by week basis, I will be 00:18:57.719 --> 00:19:02.519 finishing the audio notes or the review notes two to three times every week. 00:19:02.879 --> 00:19:07.469 That is dramatically different, gives you dramatically different results, 00:19:07.769 --> 00:19:11.849 better results than if you're just kind of arbitrarily using these, 00:19:12.199 --> 00:19:16.339 you know, a couple times a day and weeks go by and you haven't even been 00:19:16.339 --> 00:19:18.109 through the review notes even one time. 00:19:18.289 --> 00:19:23.059 Now, another key point is you want to use each of the study tools each 00:19:23.059 --> 00:19:25.309 day in different mini sessions. 00:19:25.789 --> 00:19:31.069 Now that's in comparison to, a lot of times people have one study tool that they 00:19:31.069 --> 00:19:35.209 like the most, so they'll, every time they do a mini session, they only do quizzes, 00:19:35.239 --> 00:19:36.889 or they only read the review notes. 00:19:37.489 --> 00:19:42.439 It's dramatically more effective to have parts of your day where you 00:19:42.620 --> 00:19:46.309 read the notes, other parts of your day, where you're also listening to 00:19:46.309 --> 00:19:49.719 the audios, other parts of your day where you're also taking quizzes. 00:19:50.020 --> 00:19:54.409 So that at different times of the day, you're using the different study tools 00:19:54.619 --> 00:19:59.119 and each day you want to be using all the study tools, you know, multiple times. 00:19:59.659 --> 00:20:05.169 It engages these different modalities and, it just helps you learn and make 00:20:05.169 --> 00:20:10.419 connections faster and more effectively than just using the same study tool 00:20:10.419 --> 00:20:13.179 or the same modality all the time. 00:20:13.360 --> 00:20:17.139 So now we'll go over the what ifs or the frequently asked questions. 00:20:17.604 --> 00:20:21.354 So what if I work from home and I don't have a commute? 00:20:21.444 --> 00:20:23.004 We get asked that a decent amount. 00:20:23.844 --> 00:20:28.614 So what some people do is they'll set timers on their phone so that every one to 00:20:28.614 --> 00:20:33.744 two hours, they get a reminder to take a 5 to 10 minute break to do a mini session. 00:20:34.224 --> 00:20:37.669 You can also take a walk while you listen to the audios for 20 to 00:20:37.669 --> 00:20:41.199 30 minutes, listen to the audios while you get ready in the morning. 00:20:41.659 --> 00:20:48.049 The main idea is, you can find or create, a lot of opportunities to do these 00:20:48.049 --> 00:20:50.269 little 5 to 10 minute mini sessions. 00:20:50.359 --> 00:20:52.819 The next question we hear a lot is, one thing I already touched on. 00:20:53.449 --> 00:20:56.269 "Won't I be going ahead of topics I haven't fully studied 00:20:56.269 --> 00:20:57.679 yet in my review course?" 00:20:58.070 --> 00:21:02.330 Yes, and that's by design, again, because our notes, audios, and quizzes 00:21:02.330 --> 00:21:06.739 are simplified and easy to understand, when you go ahead of where you're at 00:21:06.745 --> 00:21:10.639 in your review course, you're just getting a headstart on new topics, 00:21:10.909 --> 00:21:14.659 and when you're covering things that you've already studied, then it's just 00:21:14.659 --> 00:21:16.790 that re-review that's so critical. 00:21:17.060 --> 00:21:22.699 You're just constantly hitting the main key points, in question context, of 00:21:22.699 --> 00:21:25.760 all the topics every two to three days. 00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:30.919 That is incredibly valuable, and after two to three weeks of doing this, and 00:21:31.429 --> 00:21:35.240 when you've gotten through the review notes several times, you will start to 00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:37.790 see the effectiveness of this process. 00:21:38.360 --> 00:21:41.540 So this last one is my pet peeve. 00:21:42.544 --> 00:21:46.921 When someone, they first log in and they look at the study tools and they 00:21:46.921 --> 00:21:53.191 have some arbitrary criticism, like the review notes aren't long enough, or they 00:21:53.191 --> 00:21:58.021 don't cover enough topics, or the audios are too short or they're too long, or 00:21:58.291 --> 00:22:00.421 you talk too slow or you talk too fast. 00:22:00.421 --> 00:22:05.341 I mean, I've literally heard the opposites of every single criticism out 00:22:05.341 --> 00:22:13.186 there, and what I would say to that is, respectfully, I would just ask you to set 00:22:13.186 --> 00:22:19.126 aside any opinions you have about what you think the study tools should look 00:22:19.126 --> 00:22:26.386 like or contain, and instead, implement everything I covered in this video 00:22:26.536 --> 00:22:32.596 for three to four weeks and evaluate the results that you're getting from 00:22:32.626 --> 00:22:35.326 the study tools through this process. 00:22:35.941 --> 00:22:41.761 Instead of your personal opinions about the study tools, when you first log in 00:22:41.761 --> 00:22:48.046 and look at them, the main thing is, you know, these study tools, they are a tool 00:22:48.256 --> 00:22:51.136 that gets you a result through a process. 00:22:51.706 --> 00:22:57.256 So you, you can't really make any conclusions about how effective they 00:22:57.256 --> 00:23:01.876 are unless you use them for three to four weeks as described here. 00:23:02.276 --> 00:23:03.501 And that should make sense. 00:23:03.801 --> 00:23:09.456 So implement everything I covered in this video, and after three to four 00:23:09.456 --> 00:23:14.436 weeks of doing what I've described, and of course at that point you can simply 00:23:15.066 --> 00:23:16.836 evaluate the results you're getting. 00:23:17.196 --> 00:23:21.906 And so if you implement everything I described in this video for three 00:23:21.906 --> 00:23:26.316 to four weeks, and at that point you can honestly say it has not made a 00:23:26.316 --> 00:23:30.471 significant difference in my retention and understanding, then we'll be 00:23:30.471 --> 00:23:32.811 happy to refund your investment. 00:23:33.291 --> 00:23:37.161 And then on the other hand, if all the things, all the benefits that I'm 00:23:37.161 --> 00:23:42.321 describing have happened, and you can tell that, yeah, it's exactly how you 00:23:42.321 --> 00:23:46.921 explained it, then of course you're going to be passing your exams faster, 00:23:47.601 --> 00:23:51.381 easier than you would have otherwise, and then the investment is clearly, 00:23:51.651 --> 00:23:53.301 you know, well worth it at that point.
