1. Have a big motivation 2. Less is more 3. Search test online 4. Flashcards 5. Stress 6. White noise (to enhance focus) 7. Favorites (associate what u've to learn with ur favs) 8. Ugly highlighter (to easily point stuffs out) 9. Method of Loci (basically build a memory castle)
A few tips that I'd like to give:- 1) Your notes don't have to be 'aesthetic' and be written in a million colors. Make them informative, understandable and attractive enough for you to not gross yourself out. I suggest getting a thick spiral notebook. Firstly, write the notes for the chapter. Try to include flowcharts or diagrams to make the notes more engaging. After you are finished with the notes and studying the chapter. Solve question answers, multiple choice questions and fill ups. After you're done with that, find a test paper for the chapter online or ask the teacher if they have any and test yourself in that very notebook. This way you have everything that you need whenever you need to revise. Whenever your teacher takes tests or quizzes be sure to have the questions noted down in your notebook as well. 2) If your teacher mentions anything that is not included in the textbook or lecture notes etc then note it down somewhere so that you don't forget it! I use translucent sticky notes on my book to make sure I read and remember those points whilst studying and also add it to my notes later on. 3) ALWAYS SOLVE SAMPLE TESTS IF PROVIDED! Never think that the sample tests are useless or that you don't need it or don't need to practice. Many a times, there are questions in your tests that may come from sample papers. They also help you in understanding what kind of test pattern will be given to you and helps you prepare well for it. And obviously, it's a great way to test yourself. 4) Ask your seniors for their previous year test papers and syllabuses if they still have them. This will come in really handy for you because yet again great way to test yourself + you get to know about the patterns and stuff. 5) Try to be at least 1 chapter ahead of your class. It's always better to do this because firstly you'll have a better understanding of topics when you're at school and you can clear your doubts with your teacher as soon as possible. This way you're also gonna be able to complete your syllabus ahead of time and will have plenty of time to revise and practice for your upcoming tests. 6) If you feel like you have no motivation to study then go and watch study with me videos on RU-vid and Pinterest. They're hella motivating or at least give you a boost. 7) Have a clean and organized study space. Keep any distractions like your devices away. 8) Reward yourself with snacks or movie nights or a gift whenever you study more than usual or get really good grades. This will create a positive mindset and feeling towards studying. 10) Reduce your screentime to 2 - 2.5 hours a day. Try to spend your time reading a book, watching a movie, listening to music or doing diys instead.
EXCELLENT advice! I have tested some of these myself and can vouch for all of 1, 2, 3, 7, and especially 5! 5 is truly a game-changer in every way... and so simple... and it gives you incredible peace of mind and the confident feeling of success that does so much towards understanding!
Two tips that I also recommend! (1) I recommend reviewing content before classes! - I study one hour before going to class. Best method I have been applying for years! (2) stop making “notes” Shift your note-taking approach from merely copying what’s on the board during lectures. Instead, actively engage with the professor’s spoken content. Summarize key points, like ‘What is cell biology?,’ in your own words for better understanding. Use this method, akin to the Cornell method, to ask yourself questions and build a more personalized and insightful set of notes
long comment so *tldr focus on the lecturer, you can access the info at any time so make the most of listening to the person explaining the content to you and try and understand how the info can actually apply irl* for the 2nd one, i have recently found that focusing on the lecturer explaining helps me remember the content more so than writing notes i say this as a person who worries about getting notes for the class but i do this at the sacrifice of the lecture and missing key info (possibly). You can (hopefully) access the slides at home so use the lesson to tune in!! (literally just sit and listen i promise just try it) *engage* with your teachers by asking questions (or use yt videos and stuff) or even asking someone else ab content is really helpful make sure to *understand* the info learned (e.g why it happens, what the effects are but in irl yk cuz keeping it entirely theoretical makes its kinda boring) huge one for me is linking concepts to other concepts for example the concept of supply and demand in business comes up and u can apply this to alot of things icl knowing the reasoning etc of the content rlly hlps out (i realise typing this is im a science student so this might vary lots for diff ppl)
I agree w/ dis, and I usually take notes what's on the board too but afterwards I'd rewrite it on my own sentence based on what I understand from it. It works well for me in terms of memorizing ^^
on the first point, do you mean to revise the things you took in ur last class beforehand OR do you mean to prepare for the new things you'll learn in class beforehand? so you can have like a better picture when things are explained to you?
@@ninabeanxx my grades went up a ton! from 50s to 70s !! I was so happy with the result only 1 subject (history) was below 60, others are above 60. I used some of the techniques here but not all
Tip no. 7 is actually really good! I've been using that since a long time (I call it the BTS method, hehe) and it has helped me so much, definitely suggest using that
Loved how precise and to the point you were. And I can relate to the favourite part haha. I do it more like a reward: watch a Run BTS episode after I've finished a 2/3 hour study session (I'm getting back to studies that's why the hours are less lol)
In my opinion I don't think having a big motivation is necessary, you can start studying without motivation, I mean if you are motivated it's better , but sometimes we keep waiting to be motivated to start doing what we have to do and it does not come and that leads us to procrastination. So my advice is to start doing whatever you have to do even if you are not motivated, and by seeing the progress you are making you will feel confident and motivated more and more :) .
It's a month before my finals and they're SUPER important and the school JUST told us we have finals so now I've begun studying, starting with history. And what I do is Read, Speak, Listen. I basically first read the textbook, then record my voice explaining whatever I read in my own tone and in a simple and understandable way and even explain it from my own perspective at times, afterwards, I go back and Listen to whatever I recorded while scrolling through the book at the same time which makes it a listening and reading effect and a good review. I do this so I can understand history like a long story and be able to really understand it rather memorising it. And doing another round of review a week before the exam is also gonna help pretty well in bringing back whatever you studied to life. Also I'm going to use the white noise method alongside it from now on as well.
Hi, I'm from the UK.This video was amazing , right now I'm sitting my GCSEs whilst you have Sats. These exam tips are extremely useful and will be life-saving for so many. Keep up the outstanding work!😉
honestly speaking, from what ive learnt, while having a big motivation is extremely useful, to a large extent, discipline takes you much further than motivation ever could. like at school, ive found that switching to autopilot and just doing the damn task, helped me a lot more than motivating myself for it, but i get where you're coming from. at the end, study techniques can be completely diverse, changing from person to person
The last one definitely sounds like it could help me out, I tend to enjoy making mental maps of areas, so I'll have to try it out for my next quiz/exam !
so every one is sharing some of there tips i'd like to share mine : if you study from books when you learn from it for the first time underline all the important topics ( yes it can be more than half of the page ) and when you're revising one day before test and highlight all the those points as you read this would keep you focused and you will not forget easily
LOVE THIISSS seriously full of info and itll def help me! also, im doing the exacttt same thing in physics like you from what i saw in the video, with the Newton and the SinCosTan thingy and Fy+Fx things bro WERE GONNA NAIL THE TESTS ABT THIS
method of loci sounds like me when i go to different places or study at different times to try to learn the info. in different contexts... also... might help to focus on obvious stuff... like what they keep bringing up... like analytical chemistry
I got all nines in my mocks and got gcses coming up for anyone needing advice I recommend using white noise and the podomoro technique thats what iv been using and well yeah hope it helps if ur not looking for anyhting too complicated.
Some tips id give 1- be REALLY focused in class, participate a lot and ask questions. One thing i like to do is research about the topic in class and this saves me a lot of time on studying at home. 2- Stop making excuses. This seems obvious but stop yourself every time you try to make an excuse for not studying or not doing an assignment because the world wont stop for u and your excuses. But if you’re actually unable to study and have a valid excuse its fine. 3- Limit your screen time. especially on tiktok or apps that give you bursts of dopamine. Do the things you enjoy but only if they’re valuable to your wellbeing and i assure you tiktok is not, its just mindless scrolling on brain rotting videos. 4- Have a small goal for each week, month or semester. For example of i got a 5 on an exam next term i will be aiming for a 6 (in IB grades) and then a 7. keep remembering your past grades and try to increase them little by little. 5- Associate studying with something you like and have a positive mindset. What differentiates you from others is your mindset. This will help you be more motivated and stress free. 6- This may seem toxic but have a big ahh ego😭 This is my best tip because if you are egotistical and think you can do anything easily and that ur just better then you will actually notice yourself doing better trying to keep up the standards you have for yourself ( this wont work for everyone but it worked really well for me lmao)
I was patiently watching the entire thing and was liking the way your tips are precise and to the point- but then you mentioned loving BTS and I IMMEDIATELY SUBBED.
Off topic but when you were talking about the favourites part and i instantly thought of how I'll make my study topics BTS realated and it was like you read my thoughts😅 Thank you for the tips, tomorrow I have an exam and i kept forgetting and was worrying,this helped me start again❤
1. **BigMotivation**: Find a strong reason for studying. 2. **Less is More**: Focus intensely on mock tests and essential sections, not every question or page. 3. **Find Similar Exams Online**: Understand the style of exams you'll face. 4. **Flashcards and Friends**: Collaborate with friends to create and use flashcards. 5. **Embrace Stress**: Practice handling stress by quizzing with friends. 6. **White Noise for Focus**: Use white noise to create silent focus periods. 7. **Associations**: Link what you're studying with something you love for better recall. 8. **Ugly Highlighter Method**: Use an uncommon highlighter for key points or questions to easily spot them later. 9. **Method of Loci**: Associate what you need to memorize with rooms in your house to aid recall.
I've been watching study vlogs for years, but lately I've been rock bottom and can't help myself back up. Every time I'd hear, "you don't need motivation, you need discipline" and I can't do it, it makes me think I'm a failure. I don't even bother to do my best anymore because my efforts are always in vain. This year I wanted to change my life for real. Thanks for this vid. You're heaven-sent.
i’m an only child and you honestly just have the vibes of *that* cool, really pretty and smart older sister who could help me with anything 😭 you just earned a new sub !!

Hi. This was an amazing video tysm ❤ I just wanted to say that I have a maths test coming up next week and I am really stressed about it since I am in set 1 (the best maths set to be in) and I am scared since if I don't pass it I will move a set down and this will dissapoint my parents. In your next vid, may you please tell me some of tips to not stress when it comes to tests? It would be amazing ❤❤❤
What’s better than motivation is discipline. Your motivation can die but if u have discipline, you’ll be able to study like you never have, it takes a lot of time and work to be disciplined but it’ll be helpful in the future, not just in school.
