So, today was my last 9th grade exam and WOAH! I wanted something like this for getting a clear idea for starting grade 10. I think this is going to be my most viewed channel for the rest of the year. Really very happy that I found this channel on time!! 🤞🙌

Quick summary!

The GROW method is a study system designed to help students save time and keep track of their progress. The term GROW stands for Grid, Rating system, Overall outcome, and Weakest topic. The method involves creating a grid for each exam, listing all the topics in the left column, and rating how confident one feels about each topic by using a color-coded system (e.g., red, yellow, green) each time a topic is reviewed. The goal is to have zero red topics and as many green topics as possible by exam day. This system helps students avoid over-studying topics they find easy and under-studying topics they find challenging by focusing more time on topics they are less confident about.

I am currently preparing for JEE(it's an engineering college entrances exam in India)i am studying in 11th grade and your video's have been helping me a lot.your video's keep me motivated to study. Thank you very much 🥰🥰🥰

I’ve been trying to find such a study method for the longest time! One that would allow me to know what topics i was uncertain at and how confident I was at certain topics.This will allow me to spend my time more efficiently. I won’t need to waste time discovering my weak points, and I will be able to get straight to my problematic topics. This will definitely help my time management, and this is without a doubt the most efficient study method I’ve seen so far!

I have a very important exam next month, that is 16 days. And I was sooo nervous. If I get a below 90, my 2 years will be filled with taunts from everyone.
So thank you very much I'll do my best :))

[Jess-rkut]

i love these videos! Would you mind making one about what studying should look like during a semester? I find these helpful to prepare for tests, but what should I be doing from the start to end of a semester to stay successful?

[RHQ]

I have about 15 days to prepare for my exams and this sounds like an insane method to clarify what i should focus on. Thank you.

You wanna learn how to study?

1. Without even knowing about a topic look at a question and try to answer it. (I call this the free thinking, the real common sense thinking) and most probably you wouldn't be. But if you do, good. Just read the book and look at the other way
2. Now that you have some sense of your mind and how it will feel when you learn something, try reading the book. (Most of the books don't even have much complicated things they just have descriptions.) ( Become aware that words are just words and real phenomenon is just real phenomenon. For example: you can call the earth's gravitation " a fan's motor" the words are just words, the action is just action. Gravitation (action) wouldn't turn into motor (action) just because you name it that.)
3. So.. how do you even know you're learning something? Well in simple terms the feeling you felt at the first point above. You could somewhat see yourself using that process to a similar type of question. It's kinda vague but here's an example: i hate maths. One day after graduating school i just had a thought that " English is kinda slow langauge, i wanna make a new language where i could express my thoughts faster. It was all good until this point, i just thought of 5 letters. But how many words can I even make? I got aware that i must use the concept of permutations and combinations but i realised something. I never really learnt anything. I mean yeah i remember at some point i was able to do that but it was a "black box" concept. I knew the process but never understood it. This time while reading the damn nightmare book, i understood it. It wasn't some gibberish. Well first of all it wasn't even written good in the book so i just searched on the net. But it was like 'okay imagine the slots for the letters, and now if one letter which will be variable(computer concept) goes to first place, next one can't have that same letter so next would be 4 then 3 then 2 then 1. And now you multiply so that you could get the number of possibilities. Well why multiply? And i searched the meaning of multiply. "To obtain from (a number) another which contains the first number a specified number of times." Which is exactly what i wanted. But which contained letters a specified number of times. To count the possibilities of the letter in those slots.'"
4. Just look at the examples and then close everything and go take a rest. Sleep or play i don't care. But the next time you come back you have to make sure you use free thinking rather than study thinking. By study thinking i mean the way you just think a certain way simply because you know that's how you obtain the answer.

I must make this clear to you. While your objective could be to answer the question. Your aim is to learn to use your head. Doing study thinking is unproductive to your aim but could be good if you just don't care about learning and just want to solve the answer just for the sake the school wants you to.

5. You repeat the free thinking process again and again after forgetting them and coming back to the concept again and again by your own free thought. That's how you know you've learnt something. Mix a lot of different types of problems together in your this "revision" session of coming up with a concept to solve that question. It's tough to learn if you don't fully believe in what you're learning and question if it could even be trusted. That's why understand it. So you can trust it because your understand that the process you're using is aligned with what you want to do.

Thank you














The GROW method
Build an Adaptable review schedule

1. Grid
Build a grid schedule and whenever you review then write down the date and so on.

2. Rational
Come up with a color coded system about how confident we feel about that subject

3. Overall outcome
At the day of the exam we would want most of the subject to be green (I feel Confident) and as least red/ yellow as possible.

4. Weakest topic
You should study the weakest topic at the moment you have so that it will turn green as soon as possible.

Honestly, I had to use more than red green and blue to motivate myself to study anything because I found it too slow and I wouldn't make much progress. I used red, amber, yellow, green, blue and purple and wrote a key. red was I couldn't remember anything in this topic(this is great because you're not lingering in red if you simply pay attention to what the topic is about and you don't build anxiety and it makes the starting process easier as you move to amber really easily), amber means you know at least something, yellow means you understand it mostly and green means you understand it fully. Now you might be thinking what are blue and purple for. This is for exam prep: blue means that you are able to recall it accurately and purple just means you can instantly recall and then apply to an example question. Honestly this feels like the best way because you don't have a vague idea of where you are and sometimes subject build on each other so you'd realistically need to at least get the previous topics to at least yellow before moving on because that may just waste your time if you didn't understand the previous topic.
