Bee G same ngl i wasn’t sure whether to or not but at least i didn’t skip a second of the vid haha! at least it’s gonna help a lot of people who might not have the time
I have 1 tip: attitude is SO important to studying. After years and years of studying through school and university, I've realised how important it is to be inspired and interested in what you are studying. Sure, everyone has a favourite subject or dislikes a certain one, however, you NEED to have a positive attitude regardless, so you can power through and start revision early, or study for longer etc. Instead of thinking "ugh I have to study again", just think of it as "you know what, it's something that has to be done and it doesn't take that long! If I get it done now, I can have fun later".
Not meaning to throw shade, no really not, but so happy you're still doing study related videos. All of the other studytubers i used to watch have now "grown up" and are no longer surrounded by academia, so i feel like their content has shifted to lifestyle-ish videos. Not that that's bad!! I enjoy them so much!! But i have to remind myself i HAVENT reached the end of my academia, i'm still surrounded by it and i have to STILL study. These random actual study related videos make me a bit happy. I hope this doesnt sound like i dont want studytubers to explore thier life and NOT study. No. It's just...they built their careers on study tips....and so mamy of us are still there for that ALONG with lifestyle... I hope i dont sound rude. Gosh i hope i dont.
@@pinkx3008 yes but uni is a more...uh how do i say this...OPEN and SOCIAL place to study, unlike highschool or something idk. There its all work work work.
I completely get you. I love all the studytubers I watched in year 11 for my GCSEs and now that they're growing up, they're lifestyle videos are great, but A Levels is kicking me in the ass and I'd actually love more study videos
I think it’s probably because they found their videos repetitive and there’s only so many revision tips videos you can make so just go back and watch some older videos of theirs for inspiration
1. Prioritise by deadline 2. Do-to list 3. Make revisable notes as you go 4. Take breaks 5. Put your phone away! 6. Have set spaces and times for work and don't mix them with socialising & vice versa 7. Do not work in front of Netflix/tv 8. Avoid working in bed 9. Allow others to hold you accountable for procrastinating 10. Please don't burn yourself out
I needed this video as my GCSEs are coming up and I just failed all my mocks (100% my fault for not putting in the work) and I need to turn it around ASAP. Please do more videos like this.
I really need to listen to number 10, I just constantly feel like I need to be working and burn the candle at both ends. I really need to not feel guilty about watching that TV show or sitting and doing nothing after a productive day and not be afraid to take a day or afternoon/evening off if I am ill
this video was really helpful thank u. i was wondering if you could make a video on tips on how to motivate yourself to do work in the evenings after uni when you've had a long day of contact hours?
I have school/uni friends that did all their homework/revision/essay prep on their beds! I always used to work at my desk, even now, just watching RU-vid/Netflix in bed will make me doze off!
Hey Eve I love the video and thank you for the tips 🥺🥺 I was going to ask you if you would consider to make a video on how you made notes for a level languages. I find myself just doing exercises and filing them away and it seems very chaotic .. anyway hope you’re doing great !!
my best thing to advise people who listen to music is to get an ipod. I have used mine ever since i was 7 ( its been a good 14 years ) and ive always used it when im studying so that when i want to listen to music its all i can do so i dont get distracted by notifications etc
The to do list thing: I don't write one because I just float around, wait till I see the thing I need, and go "oh yeah I was gonna do that". I don't see the point in writing one when I'll forget to check it and then no work gets done at all :))
For some reason when I watch Rick and Morty in the background I can focus on my work, but i cant focus when I have a documentary on in the background 🤦🏾♀️
how do you know the difference between working your hardest and burning out, cause everyones like do ur best, but then my best would technically be working like all of the time right? so then how do I know???? when i can still do my best but not burn out. like all my teachers tell me to chill but i cant balance it :( I have sooooooo much out of school to do so its hard, anyways could u do a video on that (if you see this) xx
I study for at least 25 min until I am alowed a break. And if I'm in a flow I just work longer. And write how long you studied... I always unterestimate the time *ups*
Millie Gosain I kno I’m not eve But honestly I’d say that you should choose subjects that you love and not based on what your friends are doing If 3 humanities is that then so be it However, I wouldn’t recommend that purely because history and geography for example has soooo much content for you to remember and retain If you have interests in those subjects it would be easier to learn the content but if not I wouldn’t force it Humanities also have a lot of essay writing so I’d say you’d need to play on your strengths so if you’re doing good now in those subjects and also in English you should take them Also a really important tip is to get a rough idea of what you want to do at a levels you want to do; you don’t have to pick them but think about the things you like so that you have the sufficient GCSEs for that
I got 3A*s and an A at A level but all in science and maths subjects. I began revising in February, where I started going over content from year 12 to make sure I remembered and most importantly understood it all. I had 16 contact hours a week and would revise for a few hours each day alongside these as well as working a weekend job and volunteering each week. I did past papers and questions close to the exams as this worked best for me. But it's important to remember different subjects require different approaches, and some people prefer to do questions AS their revision very early on.
not trying to sound rude or anything and I appologise if this comes across as rude but can someone inspire (or shout-out) some younger study-tubers. I really hope this doesn't come across as rude but if there is younger study-tubers then people doing GCSEs/Alevels will have people that can give them tips on the mark schemes and what specifically to make sure you're including. sorry again if that came across as rude
Really useful stuff Eve. To do lists are essential. For anyone interested in this vid I'd highly recommend a book called 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Steven Covey or 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens depending on what stage of life you're at! It's a life changer!
I 100% agree that it's so important to separate work and social time, but I always struggle to properly switch off from work mode when I'm having downtime or out with friends. I always catch myself thinking about what I need to study in my next study session or planning what I need to do the next day while watching Netflix, reading, or even just trying to sleep, and especially if I'm out with school friends it's so easy to fall into talking about school work and revision- do you have any tips on how to switch off and properly embrace relaxation without always thinking about work?
Super helpful, especially since I'm on work placement abroad and have to keep up my other languages. I'd love to see more language related videos! (2nd year applied languages student from Ireland 😊 currently in mexico)
I don't have a to-do list most days because pretty much the only thing I have to do every day is revise and write flashcards of recent lectures. I have a list of all my lectures and I mark how far I have revised them. (I just noticed that that is a to-do list in a way, but I don't have daily to-do lists.) When I do have an appointment, I write it in my calendar and just keep it in mind.
