Essential Revision and Study Advice

[FreehandSkys]

I have never, EVER watched a study guide video done as well as yours. LET ALONE it being by another IB student! Your channel is golden! Thank you SO much for your advice; I feel so much better knowing that if I ever have a "bad IB day" I can just go home and watch your channel to give me the motivation to persevere!

[shutupandkissme01]

thankyuu lou! not gonna lie, if i do get top grades, it will be thanks to you so taaaa ;) xx

[Toweee5910]

how long would it take you to revise for a subject or topic? :S x

[JDSTUDY]

I will be realising my video soon but read Jideofo.blogspot.com

[LooweezBx]

Do you do IB after school or while you are at school or what? I don't think we even offer this in Scotland!

[hearts4evaa]

i love all your videos on education, can you keep the motivation going please :)

[thesolitarywanderer]

for science students: if there's any processes and/or pathways you're struggling with, youtube is a huge life saver. i've had so many metabolic pathways and signalling cascades explained to me PERFECTLY by youtube videos.

I absolutely hate english lit and lang with a passion as i do not have that "natural" skill. However, i do really want to do well in the exams, and I am finding it increasingly difficult revise and improve. HELP?

[xxfaithyxx1]

I really want to say a big thanks to you LouFederer your studying video's have been really inspiring and motivating. :)

[allthehoney]

what is IB? I've never heard of it x

[methadon2000]

@allthehoney The International Baccularette. Basically schools from across the country can do this. Its like A-levels, but you do about 6 subjects and maths is compulsory. You have points instead of grades like A or B.

Thank you so much for the Itune U tip.

Been stuggling big time to revise and it is helping me loads.

Thank you thank you thank you :):):)

[joopicle]

this is great advice. especially the itunes u downloadables! this year's IB is just around the corner and the two year constant work is kind of wearing me out a little. this has, ironically, given me motivation :) thanks!

[loveisarunway]

i really recommend the website getrevising (just type it into google) its actually so useful rather than buying revision guides or thats atleast what i found - its really helped me!

basically people upload all their revision files and you can download them and use them for help!

I even upload some essays / notes ect

so useful :D

<3

[cosmicswirlita]

could you scan or upload some examples of your notes? or maybe a video on how to write eloquently as you put it? xxx

[smilininsane]

this was helpful, thanks. I love how you can listen to lectures on itunes! thanks for sharing that! Are there any that you can recommend? I'm only doing GCSEs right now but I find them really interesting. Any art or english-realted ones that are any good? :)

[Gurizin]

lovely. thanks

[WannaBThin92]

OMG! The I tune's info is fantastic!! Thank you so very much!

Subscribing. Lol.

[greengirllover]

Hey Lou, glad to see you're well and good, and I don't think you look bedraggled lol, your "bedraggled" look is better than my "good" look!!

[immijenheap]

Lou, your commitment to your education is really inspiring! I'm only in high school, but every year I feel like I'm becoming more and more of a slacker with my school work. Every time you make a video concerning academics it inspires me to get back on track!

[timmyguitar]

lol at how short the maths bit was!

would say it is similar to science, just learn the techniques and get used to manipulating equations.

practice makes perfect! :)

[ItsDazzy]

lou you are the best.<3

[PinkLittleDiamond]

OMG!:) Thank you sooo much you did this video!!:) I looked out everyday for a new video!!! I´m so happy!!:) I love you!!!:)

[mymahem]

I was on thestudentroom when I randomly clicked on a thread only to see it had been started by you :) I am applying for the same course at the same university you have picked , and I'll be 21 when I start because long story short I developed an eating disorder at university and decided to change course. I hope I get into my choices :S at least I've already done my A levels.

[aliyaaaahhhhh]

Your really helpful! I hate people who have good revision techniques but dont care to share. Do you know any other uni lectures on psychology that helped?

[Singing4Him4ever]

you NEED to go to university and make the world a better place. ya?

[AshleyIcePrincess95]

i really didnt need to watch any of this lol but i watched it all just so i could sit here and see u again and hear ur voice ! <3

[LouFederer]

@AshleyIcePrincess95 So sweet, thanks! Mwah! x

[makeupneek]

LOU! How the hell are you reading my mind? i need help on this and have wanted a video of yours to cheer me up.. thankyou xxx

[LouFederer]

@makeupneek Woop, glad I could be of assistance to you! More videos coming soon. :)

[xcherrypopbaybe94x]

i do PEE!!

LOL

[aliyaaaahhhhh]

Are there any study guides you reccomend? especially for psychology

[LouFederer]

@aliyaaaahhhhh The Oxford University Press AS and A2 'Psychology Through Diagrams' revision guide was practically the only one I used during the IB. It's really awesome!

[rubypumps27]

Mot a Mot is so amazing, my French bible! Such great tips, thank you!

[Diordoll19]

I was soooo happy when I saw your video in the subscription box!!

[LouFederer]

@Diordoll19 Aww, that's cute, haha! Hope you enjoyed the vid!

[lelowi]

haha maybe i should not be on youtube and actually revise for my exams this week :) oh well at least it's about revision :) thank you for the video as it has given me an insight on how the IB works :) i'm currently in year 10 which may be too early to start thinking about it but in my opinion it's never too early when it comes to education :) congratulations on your IB results :) xx

[torrieissmiling]

I so wish I could have done the IB - not available where I live :( sucks. Had to go along with crappy A levels. Despite being a bit of a natural at it, English Literature is the absolute bane of my life because I hate the texts :(

This was such a helpful video, I'll definitely be purchasing Mot a Mot for French :)

P.S when you mention titrations, you reminded me of a homework I had due for tomorrow THANK YOU LOU.

mwah xoxo

P.S When you mention titration calculations, you reminded

[LouFederer]

@torrieissmiling Aww, dude, you hate the texts? Which ones are you studying?

'Mot a Mot' is awesome! I owe a fair bit of my success to that wee book. Ha, and good luck with your titrations - always a pleasure. ;) x

[torrieissmiling]

@LouFederer The Mayor of Casterbridge by Thomas Hardy and then 2 plays by Sean O'Casey. The poems aren't too bad, Dickinson and G.M Hopkins.

[astaliini]

It's so great to find out that there's a student out there like me who's good at IB English but not at maths:D thanks for the tips!

[LouFederer]

@astaliini Ha, yeah, pretty much sums me! Full marks in English, half marks in Maths...

[lil3981]

haha i genuinely took notes off this video! i feel lame xx

[LouFederer]

@lil3981 Go to my blog - I wrote notes up on there for this video too!! x

[longsmellystocking]

Psychology has a different syllabus this year, only about 2 textbooks exist for this years syllabus since its new... no revision guides yet! Not even from the OSC centre as far as I know :(

[LouFederer]

@longsmellystocking Really? Lamezville. How has it changed? Good luck mate! x

[longsmellystocking]

@LouFederer We have different levels of analysis, haven't even mentioned Freud, which I think year 2010 and before did quite extensively. I believe you had a behaviorist perspective in your syllabus amongst others? We have the biological, cognitive and sociocultural level of analysis and then of course the two options... I remember liking our syllabus much more when comparing the two, even though this new one has less generally applicable knowledge which is a bummer. :/

[thesophieduncan]

what eyeshadows are you wearing in the video, they look gorgeous!! Thanks for the tips! xx

[LouFederer]

@thesophieduncan Hey! If you go to my blog, you'll see I've recently written up my everyday make-up routine. I'm wearing Twinks, Expensive Pink and All That Glitters today, all by MAC. :)

[hellohannahyo]

This was extremely helpful, thank you Lou! :)

[LouFederer]

@hellohannahyo I'm thrilled that you thought so! :D
