Student Ratings & Reviews
Great tips, very interesting.
It's so informative and the evidence based facts provided are really interesting
This has really helped me gain new skills or enhance my existing skills.
i believe this course helped me in ways i didn’t think it would. love the idea of it.
I liked that everything was straight forward.The online course platform was updated and accurate.I enjoyed the course overall.I felt like I learned the whole concept better and it was easier than just reading it from the book.I picked up new knowledge.
It was very informative, with ways that will help me enhance my own study skills, not just through techniques but also through things in my day to day life, as well as timings, motivation and and interesting reading list
The Course was very detailed and well-explained. Thank you Dr. Siva!
Very helpful study tips that I will definitely use from now on!
Amazing. Short but very informative
very interesting giving me knowledge on study skills I didn't know about before
The course was crucial and interesting as a GCSE student, enhancing my knowledge on study methods and reinstating the importance of active recall over passive techniques.
amazing!!
This really helped me understand what I was doing wrong in my revision. I normally re-read and make notes when revising so I understand the content but don't really know how to apply it in exams. I've learnt that doing practice and exam questions and making that my main revision method is more effective.
Yup very helpful
A great and insightful course.
Really helpful!
I found this course very helpful and interesting. I learnt new ways in how to study and why they work.
The sections of the course were broken down conveniently, building upon and consolidating the information from the previous section - I am quite delighted to have found this course and will definitely implement the evidence-based revision strategies to further grow my study efficiency. Thank you Dr Siva and Medic Mentor!
Amazing! Helped me and my friends with our studying and gave us many options to help with our work.
I definitely think that it has allowed me to see the science behind the revision I was already doing and consolidated a lot of the information I had already previously learnt!
