In this video I'm going to show you the specific strategy that I used for creating active recall questions to test myself and consistently score top grades in medical school and surgical #exams with limited #studying time while working as a surgeon. I go through the exact method that I used when coming top in medical school and surgical exams and look at how I applied the question recall framework which uses #activerecall to help you learn more efficiently and effectively.
I cover in detail my experiences, how to create questions, test yourself and fill in your knowledge gaps and then touch on how you can implement active recall strategies yourself and how you can apply the system to subjects beyond medicine.
