 Hello everybody, Andrea Mayesca here with Dental Health Tutoring. So students often ask me, what is the best way to study? Should I study from a textbook? Should I study from my personal notes that I took from the textbook? Should I study from watching lecture videos? Should I do mock exams? Should I do case studies? There's many different ways to study. And I do say all the time, it depends on you. Some people learn the most. And you should know at this point how you learn the most or the best. Some people learn the best if they are reading a textbook, and then they write out the notes in their own words. I personally don't learn that. I couldn't do that as a student at all. I would spend hours doing that. And then my hand would be so tired and sore. And then I would just read my notes, but then I would say, OK, I pretty much wrote everything that is in the textbook anyway. I pretty much highlighted everything anyway, because you don't know what's important until you are trying to study. And then you go, OK, I don't understand this part. I do understand this, but I don't understand that. So when teachers tell you to highlight what you think is important, that to me makes no sense, because you don't know what's important. You would just highlight the whole textbook anyway. So personally, as a student, it's been a while. But I learned the best by reading things over and over and over again and then listening to a lecture video. But when I was a student, we didn't have YouTube. I mean, maybe we did, but nobody used it. We didn't have a tutor like myself who would talk about dental hygiene topics and dental assisting topics, and then I could listen. So I had none of that. But the videos we had, we just had some from class, I think, but nothing special. But these days, you guys, you have access to so much, OK, so much. If you're a student in the board exam prep academy, that I have. So if you're taking the board exam or if you are a student in the Dental L student program, where I tutor you and give you all of the info that you need for your classroom studies, then you will see you have access to everything. So I have in there in the membership login area, you will have module notes that I have written myself. So I have taken topics from the textbook and written them in my own words. It took about four years to do all of that, literally, like four years, but it's all there. If you're tired of reading, then I have lecture videos like this where I am teaching you a topic. Sessions are usually about one hour each. So if you get tired of reading, then you have a little area that says lecture videos. Click on that. They're all right there. But then let's say you want to test your knowledge and take a mock exam. I have those too. Click mock exams. You will have all of the mock exams there. And I have case studies. And I tutor live once a week. If it's holidays, we don't tutor on holidays. But I tutor live once a week where I do a lecture where I will ask you questions to test your knowledge. And we do case studies, so a little bit of everything. So if you're wondering what's the best way for you to study, everybody's different. But I do suggest doing a little bit of everything. So let's say on a Monday, read in the modules your topic dental anatomy. Read half of your dental anatomy unit, because there's a lot there. And then the next day, watch a video of me teaching you that in a video. So I'll be teaching you that for half an hour, for an hour, whichever one it is. And then the next day, test your knowledge on what you have learned. Take a mock exam to see how much you remember. So I do suggest to mix it up. But you will learn after at least a couple months which way you learn the most. You might say to yourself, OK, well, I did read the modules on Monday, but I don't really remember anything. But then I watched a lecture video, and that made a lot more sense to me. But keep in mind that the video could have made more sense to you because you read the modules the previous day. So that's kind of why I say to mix it up, but it's totally up to you. So if you guys need help with that, let me know. Feel free to have a look in the board exam prep academy. I do have a link on the bottom. Have a look at that. If you are studying for the board exam, it is never too late or too early to study. If you are a student still in school and you need help because it's hard. The dental hygiene program, the dental assisting program is hard. So if you need help, if you need full support, let me know. I am here to help. I do it all online, so this is what I do full-time. So thank you guys for watching, and happy studying. And I will see you guys in the next one.
