I feel like when I start a new topic I remember it then forget the topic before

All great tips. Would like to add a huge one:

1. Study the chapter you will be learning ahead of the lecture. Therefore, you will become familiar with the material and the questions you have will be answered while the professor is lecturing.

I do well in class but in tests it’s as if I’m a completely different student and I just forget the skills I inhabited.

5 tips for studying maths :
1. Don't copy what the teacher writes on the board
understanding what formula that we will use
2. Do homework and practice questions until you have grasped the concept
3. Do past papers
Do the previous test/past papers
4. Reattempt questions you couldn't do
5. Make a list of all your careless errors
notes the previous mistakes of your test

Tip 1 : Don’t write teachers notes, but try to understand the problems. What is going on, what theory is used and why you are using the theory.
*- I would rather take notes after class, so that I could reinforce my understanding further. Although this takes time, it's my style of learning, and I think it's worth it.*

Tip 2 : Do practice questions and homework questions (from the Study Design or Syllabus) until you grasped it. No need to do the same question over and over again.

Tip 3 : Do practice exams and tests; this is because past exams and tests are very similar to the present test. Same content = Similar Questions

Tip 4 : Reattempt questions that you couldn’t before. Extremely beneficial for difficult problems.

Tip 5 : Error Book : there are 2 ways you can get a question wrong. a) Silly mistakes b) Hard question.
Therefore, if you can get those silly mistakes to be prevented, then you should be all good
-If you get something wrong, on any questions;
1) Check solutions
2) Fill in the theory gap

Core Components;
a) Understanding (1. Does this make sense? 2. Can I explain it to a 5-year-old?)
b) Theory (Active Recall, Notio)
*c) Application & Practice (Past papers, practice questions)*
d) Error (flip flop on notebooks)

Revision;
1. Complete making theory and understanding.
2. Gather resources for application based on the syllabus and practice. (Active Recall)
3. Error Flip Flop on notebooks

I used to always score badly in maths. but for other subjects, I was so good. but maths was challenging for me. but now I can see improvement in maths I would like to u give the same tips:
1. make sure u understand the ncert perfectly.
make sure u do this first before
2. clear doubts even if it is very small. don't keep it for tomorrow. do it today
3. practice extra questions( if u have extra questions sheets given by the teacher I would recommend that).

5. practice previous years question paper(also set time while doing it so u can manage time)
hope u guys will like it!!!!

I'm actually the kind of person who memorizes everything and thinks logically after I got the hang of things. Math is actually enjoyable when your brain and determination cooperates.

[RaffaelloLorenzusSayde]

This is why I never take notes because I never learn from it. It is best to understand it, then take photos of the notes to memory recall. That's smart thinking bro 👍

All this is real I really got an A+on my exams your good

[xxwolf_gamezxx]

I just wanted to let you know how much of an impact you’ve had my life. I got a grade 9 in my mocks because of your help. It takes strength and integrity to stand and be a leader of the youth. I will never forget you and the lessons you have taught me. Thank you for following your heart and giving us inspiration. I think it’s safe to say that you are my favorite ytuber. Not only do you teach with great dedication and passion, but you also provide me with a great example to follow and look up to. Thank you for all your effort!🙂

It’s very hard to find a teacher like you. You always put your students’ best interest ahead of yours, you’re a very hard working person that’s tremendously dedicated to your job. You are a great inspiration to us all! For the rest of my life, I’ll be extremely thankful for having a brilliant teacher like you. The lessons you have taught will be remembered forever while your inspiration will always give me the strength to succeed. 😃

These are some powerful tips, but these days teachers are unfair and too cruel so it's going to be kind of hard trying to apply these tips.

[brendanh]

Tips 3 to 5 are great. Tip 1 depends on several issues. Tip 2 - no, no, no, that is a recipe for forgetting.

Tip 2 only works for the top learners, who have the ability to retain knowledge with very little practice. For more average learners, there is a clear distinction between understanding and knowing content. Rather than practice until you understand, after you finally do understand, practice until you are confident you can do it. Then practice again the next day, to see if it really stuck in your mind.

Thank you so much.

- List all my potential mistakes.
- Try doing the past exams 📝.
- Don't copy all that my teacher writes on the board.
- practice.

This was so helpful! I recently got the results for my Mock Methods exam and got 33% despite studying heaps. I walked in possibly overconfident and made so many careless mistakes that made me fail. Thanks for making this video and I'll try to apply these to my actual ATAR exams in a month's time.

[musicmedia-]

Omg thank you so much! I didn't even think of these things. I'm having my last part of my math final on Monday. TYSM!
