EGYPT'S Brain Bee

My name is Norhan ,and I was a participant in the first Egyptian brain bee last year. Unlike most of the other participants , it was my first time to read about neuroscience and try self learning. For that reason, I was shocked when I found out that I made it to the second round. Probably , you want to know how I studied for the brain bee. You should start with the text books but they’re not enough. If you don’t go to a language school , you’ll have some difficulty , at the beginning, getting used to studying in English but it’s not that bad , it just needs time. Watching videos was my favorite way to simplify the chapters in the text books. The best way to study is to read a chapter or a specific topic then watch a video that summarizes this topic , in addition to the brain bee videos, try a crash course video on YouTube or a video on my favorite website , Khan Academy and then reread the topic to make sure you haven’t missed out any details. Remember , have fun and don’t stress yourself out , this should be fun , it isn’t school , no one is forcing you to do that. Try to be active at the study group on Facebook , the mentors are so kind , friendly and helpful. My last advice for you is to make sure that your purpose for this competition is not to win but to know more about neuroscience and decide if you’d like to specialize in it in the future.
