If you’re procrastinating right now, check this out. I made a free masterclass where you'll learn how to study less while getting better grades. Watch here; 👇

As someone who's been going thru the last board exams of her life and officially done with school life, the best advices i could give the juniors are that please please please do study regularly. Especially the things you've learnt in class or lectures, you should recap them that day when you're home. Summarize the whole topic and write them down on your own way. You'll definitely see the results. I wish i realised this earlier now it's too late

for distractions, i just treat my mind like a spoiled child — ‘you can’t do this now, but i’ll give you this, and then after you do 1 hour you can do that.’ is my technique!

I remember studying for 14 hours for my History test, ended up getting a 16/20. Studied for about 3-4 hours for my Physics test and got a 20/20

- Study the least but get the best results (not more hours are equal to more knowledge gained)
- 80 – 20 rule is important  don’t cram, memorize, taking notes, … Try to focus on that 20%
- Focus on the exam questions (practice questions)
- Deep work for 90 minutes (with minecraft background music)
- Set precise goals
P/s: Don’t take notes like me

These are great tips. I will for sure be doing them . One thing I like to add is I also keep a "mistake" notebook . I write everything I got wrong in my exams or the past papers down so I don't repeat them

1. Read the theory, underline words or lines that define the whole paragraph
2. Solve the previous year questions topic wise and mark the the tricky or time taking ones (also see how a teacher solves those questions)
3. Cut out distractions if possible or like he said, delay them
4. Don't make time tables(not very effective), set goals for each week and divide it as each day's task. Keep 1 or 2 days for revision( quickly go through those underlined words and topics in your textbook and solve the marked questions )
5. Set feasible goals
6. At the end of the month take a collective assessment

i was always a 95-100% student during all of my school years. I did not study excessively, the key was to understand as much as I could during the lesson and be punctual. When I got home I always did my homework and had also plenty of time to spend on other activities.
Playing a musical instrument, being past of a team, painting can increase your productivity and agility too.

one of the best videos about studying i've ever seen. tackled all main points, providing claims and examples, beautiful. wish you all the best irl.

I find that this works more for STEM students, like doing questions and stuff, but for humanities students, you have to spend lots of time reading and applying what you read through writing and assignments. It's unavoidable. I have never stayed up all night studying for a chemistry test, because I can just solve the practice questions and tests over and over again. And once you can solve the most difficult questions in the textbook, you are ready for the test. But the only all-nighters I've ever pulled were for English class. Writing an essay takes time, even if you do not notice the time. First you have to understand the subject. Then you have to formulate new and profound thoughts on that learned info. Then you have to articulate it in writing in order to apply your thoughts well so that the teacher can judge your knowledge. That's a solid B. But a solid A...well that's hard. You have to go above and beyond and really connect the readings to your own thoughts, and maybe even the world. And you have to do it well and convincingly and ope- it's 6am and you studied for 12 hours straight by accident.

As an Indian who has qualified some of the toughest entrance exams and even failed in some school practice tests, my only recommendation is to STUDY.

Most of the times, we over-assume studying and focus on making it aesthetic, but the reality is to sit with your books, pen and paper and just study for terms. And while studying, write them down just after going through a part. And revise constantly.

[elledinebaguio]

quick and straight to the point, thank you for the tips!

[koroshiyashinigami]

Damn. I thought this was just going to be another video like every other "that student", but no, you made a REALLY clear, concise, simple and practical video and all of that under 10 minutes! I'm saving this video for life! Your words REALLY spoke to mez thanks for writing the script the way you wrote it, it really opened up my mind and created a clear path without resistance. Thank You! 🎉

Hey, I'm a university student I do electrical engineering. I had to relearn how to study because college was beating my ass during the first semester. Only now, I've started to abandon the idea of copying everything and I started focusing 100% on past exams, and it really makes a difference. I agree 100% with your video, especially the part about setting a goal to learn in a small amount of time. Another important tip is to study every day, even when you feel super tired. That way, after a few months, studying calculus 2 just becomes an everyday thing.

[HistoryHatesLobsters]

Really some good advice. I never struggled as much with working efficiently since I found ways I can study in less time pretty early on and I also set precise goals for myself. My problems are that I get distracted easily, am unmotivated and can't discipline myself to actually stay focused for longer periods of time. So although I am very productive when I work, I procrastinate way too much, which leads to having less time left, which stresses me out and makes me even less willing go go study. It's also nice to hear someone acknowledge that leaving all distractions behind isn't something you can just do and it takes time to get used to and pull through. Thanks a lot :)

[kittykat]

thank you for sharing your thoughts on this matter and giving us such great advices about studying!! This year as a student i have also dealt with a lot of distractions such as netflix, youtube etc, so your video was really helpful. Keep it up!!
