Whenever I start doing maths while I'm fully energetic and motivated it goes well for a while up until I get a wrong answer. The motivation slowly fades away and my maths practice comes to an end.
Got a 76 in my last maths exams, need an 80 in the upcoming finals. Writing this post to come back to after writing in a month. Results in the new year, wish me luck :) Edit: I GOT IT YEAA And I was accepted at my Universiry of preference! Thanks to all of you who believed in me 😄🌟
Thank you for including careless mistakes- that has always been where I lose all my marks and there aren't any videos giving advice about how to fix it. It's extremely disappointing when I leave an exam feeling confident, then, I realise that I've lost marks on careless mistakes.
Yea thats definitely the worst feeling. Because if u didn't study at all and don't understand the concepts, you already know that you're going to be getting a bad grade, so you don't feel all that bad when you do receive that low grade. But those times where you really try hard to grasp the concepts and understand them, but still get an average mark (lower than your minimal expectation) due to careless mistakes, it just hurts man.
I had this problem to if i have extra time after i finish an exam i look true the hole exam again this has helped me see simple mistakes or questions i skipped
him: "try not to leave everything for the last day" me: having an exam in two days and watching this video to help me study as much and as effectiv as possible in two days
I know my comment is a month after , but just accept that one exam's will be lose, and look forward to be more prepared and stress free for your next exams. Never too late for nothing dear friend 🙂
I got 36 out of 100 on my half yearly exam. My friends got 80 percent in math. I was in a huge depression after failing on math. But this time I have put so much effort on my studies. And I want to get 80 percent like them. Guys pray for me
Excellent tips! Very helpful tips, another personal strategy that i've found efficient in maths is by pretending that i'm teaching the questions or topic, it somehow gives me a better understanding of the topic.
@@memeszeus i think there was a scientific study thst mentioned something about "if you can teach it to a 5th grade level, you have a comprehensive understanding of the topic"
Math is basically the bane of my academic life..i could get straight A's on every subject, but Math just kicks my ass to the curb and leaves me crying 😅
my maths has been on the decline since the start of high school, last week I got my first D. I've only got a few months until prelims, I'm gonna try my hardest to study and get better.
My last math test I scored 32 out of 100 and all my friends got 90+ and they always brag about their good marks but this time I hope I can get better than all of them Edit: I tried this out and I got 82% on a math test that I knew nothing about until studying I’m so happy Edit 2: I’m here a year later to say I should’ve payed more attention last year since I just passed but my plan is to seriously get myself together and get amazing grades this year and I know exactly where to start Edit 3: this year I’m so successful and am working rlly I’ve never had this too grades 🙂
Also, a lot depends on your current teacher. I've had some great maths teachers and I like maths my self, but because of my current teacher, I feel super unmotivated to do maths.
I don't even have zoom classes for maths in our current lockdown so i say to myself i want to improve i will put in the time and so i self study, i use alot of youtube resources and other web sources and its fun for me because even though i may spend 3 hours on just my math weaknesses or my strengths i enjoy it because its not homework and there is no guideline. There has another driving force than to be something other than just needing to get the work done otherwise motivation and enjoyment decreases. I would say for school personally having really horrible math teachers in the past and non existent learning sessions now its very hard to learn and it almost puts you behind because of how well you are able to understand so this is why i choose other sources of self study, a good youtuber is the chemistry tutor anything you can think of, chemistry, physics, math he has it all with detailed or well enough for me; workings out and explanations also very clear to understand and is very helpful. Especially if you are sruggling with an particular concept or understanding.
Same Till High school my math teachers were excellent and I used to score really well in Maths. Studying maths in college is a whole different scenario.
Math requires understanding by exploring and verifying patterns from various perspectives. It's indeed a fascinating cognitive exercise, which everyone can perform with brain, piece of paper and pencil. Good luck!
I’ve missed out on about a year of school and I could not keep up in tests. I’m barely getting 60%. Recently I’ve switched from gaming to studying as I feel it’ll help more in the long run and journey through life. I’m waiting for term 4 to start so I can view my results and compare them to last terms and see that improvement
Great video! I've started teaching other people Math's topics which I can definitely say helps my understanding. The only problem I have is exam anxiety, but working on that with meditation. Thanks again! :)
Thanks for reinforcing these tips for my upcoming senior highschool maths exam coming up. I'll definitely make a list of my careless mistakes, though....
hi I’m super late for this but i really really used to love math, it was my pride and joy until i went to higher math classes and my confidence dropped. i really want to get better at math but i’m just so scared. that being said me being scared makes me not practice. i think i should really try to actually sit down and believe you know? i just hope someone cld encourage me to get over my fear :)
For me I was going great but my grade 7 teacher was the worst she always questioned my method forced me to do it her way not the way I learned saying hers faster then by grade 8 I started to feel insecure which is when you start with deeper maths thankfully I had an amazing teacher who helped me catch up I am still scared
One thing my maths teacher told our class was to go through examiner reports on past papers. This is a report on examiners making notes on questions that were well answered and questions that were poorly answered. They also include common wrong answers and common errors during calculations. Make sure you don’t make the same mistakes at the students did before you so you don’t drop marks!
This video was really insightful and inspiring. I will use these tips to guide me through my HSC and with enough work it should result in high marks, so thank you :)
For me what really helped is just simply making a lot of excersises instead of reading the theory. Once you kind of understand how an excersise works, you’ll also understand the test better. Making excersises a couple hours before the test also helped out a lot for me, because then you put your mind in this focused ‘excersise-making’ position
Thanks for the video, Dineth. I love your non-rambling style. The advice is very practical with no psycho-babble bs about "believing in yourself" and crap like that. Yes, confidence is key but we get confident when we know the material. I am an unbeliever in exam stress/fever/sickness/panic or whatever. No one frets when they can answer the questions. The key to doing well in exams is knowing the material. I'll say this covers 80% of it. Avoiding mistakes takes the remaining 20%.
In my last maths exam, I had scored only 78 out of 100. It was my lowest marks ever. I was very disheartened at first but it motivated me to do better. Now I have my next maths exam after 4 days. I will really put in all my efforts. Hoping to succeed...Thanks for this vedio!
Hi I'm Japanese. I realized that what you say is entirely same as what people in my country say. That means the important things in studying never changes all over the world and all the time.
Am I understanding correctly? 1. Try to understand the concepts, ask questions until you understand. Don't just do the procedures. 2. Solve problems to prove/test your understanding 3. Practice your weak areas 4. Write out your mistakes and become aware of them 5. Test yourself on past papers and notice careless mistakes 6. Be well rested and healthy 7. Enjoy the process
I watched this video at the start of term four for year 12 and it significantly helped me. I switched schools half way through the term and had to try to learn a topic from half way and I didn't go as well as I would have liked but all the topics I had been working on throughout the term and had had ample time for, I made no mistakes in, so thank you.
I need to get a certain mark to get into my dream uni, watching this now and I’ll try update eventually when I do it in a few months, I’ll use these tips👍
Studying for math can be challenging, but there are several strategies that can help you to be successful. Here are a few tips for studying math: Practice, practice, practice: Math is a subject that requires a lot of practice to master. Make sure to work through a variety of problems and exercises, and try to do them on your own before looking at the solutions. Take notes: As you work through problems and learn new concepts, take notes on key formulas, definitions, and theorems. This will help you to review the material later. Break it down: Math can be intimidating because it can be difficult to understand the big picture. Break down problems and concepts into smaller, more manageable parts to make them easier to understand. Make connections: Math is a subject that builds on itself. Make connections between different concepts and formulas to understand how they relate to each other. Get help: If you are struggling with a concept or problem, don't be afraid to ask for help. Whether it's from a teacher, tutor, or study group, getting a different perspective can help you to understand the material better. Review regularly: Schedule regular review sessions for yourself to keep the material fresh in your mind. This will help you to retain the information and be better prepared for exams. Use visual aids: Using visual aids such as diagrams, graphs, and charts can help to make the material more concrete and easier to understand. Practice with different kind of problems: try to practice with different type of problems, word problems, multiple choice, true or false, and open-ended problems. Remember, math is a subject that requires patience and perseverance. Keep working at it and don't give up!
@@TheRealNiko We call it 'Maths' here in Australia (and other BrE countries), as in a shortened form of 'Mathematics'. Solving a question requires the application of multiple mathematical concepts, therefore, "Maths" is used. The original commenter also used the plural form of 'exam', so that cancels out. I think it's important to know that other regions use a different word-choice vocabulary, as trying to school someone purely based on their word-choice is quite ignorant to their own context (which I guess is slightly excusable based on your situation).
I have this problem where I attend a lesson, understand it but then when I get home, it's like everything i've learned is just flowing around and everything feels so disconnected and thats what frustrates me the most.. your video gives me hope that i can truly become better at maths
Don’t write when they’re explaining. Best if you can when they’re not talking either. If you miss something, go find a textbook with that topic, and practice by doing a BUNCH of pass papers. If there’s something you got stuck on, or didn’t know at all (different to not being taught it, just leave it or watch a small video and see if you understand) then note it down and do it as fast as possible like he said in the video. Make sure you walk in knowing you won’t delay on looking at a question. If you don’t know after the 3rd read? Leave. 4:36 5:45 FR have a good mindset and reward yourself for doing well!
the thing with me is that when ever I think something is going to be well it always doesn't go well like yea I ordered pizza tonight it will be great but instead it is really bad this started to happen with my grades whenever I hoped to get good grades I always got bad grades but when I thought of getting bad grades I got good grades but sometimes it turns around and I was at that time being body shamed and I got depressed I always liked math but after getting in high school I don't understand any math i understand every other subject but math has became a problem whenever i try to solve a problem (an exercise question) even if i try 10 times it goes wrong every time and it demotivates me but thankyou you motivated me and I will apply these tips and tell share the results again thankyou very much (Sorry if there are any mistakes i am not a native english speaker but i am working on my english:)
I honestly hope you can overtake that! Always remember that we're all in the same boat! Although some have a better and faster one, it doesn't at all mean that you won't achieve it! If you feel that you want to improve that skill, do not give up!! To be realistic, generally, people put pressure on us to do something well and as quickly as possible. However, you should remember to do it for yourself!!! 👍👍🚀🚀
Thank you for your support. Math has kicked my ass my whole life. I just need to finally get my act together and get my brain working again before it rots.
I understand everything in class but whenever the exam comes up l just get lost, the questions aren't specific l just confuse which method should be used where, anyone with tips? :-(
I've been a bad student for the last 2 years. And I've missed loads of basics. I wanna do better now but it's a bit hard because there's a gap and I'm far behind other students. How should I go about getting better guys??
Mistakes + solutions 1. Question is too hard (don't know how to solve it at all) - Understand when its being taught. ASK questions - spread your work out over time **super important coz its a skill. daily practice - make note of weaknesses + pay more attention to these weak areas 2. Careless mistakes - make a list of them as you go along *calculator errors, sign errors - read the page before you write the exam and be aware of each one before the test - do more past papers to know how to lay out your answers 3. GENERAL points confidence. you'll do worse if you're nervous LASTLY HAVE FUN!! be positive and celebrate the small progress. mwa you got this.
Hi, am from Western Australia where we have specialist instead of extension 2 in nsw, I have a tutor who also ranked top 100 in NSW extension2 maths. I'm thinking of doing specialist maths next year in year 11 and maybe 12 but I'm not sure how I should study for all these new hard concepts, I think my biggest problem right now is time management, how should I go with this?
My previous tests were all around 60%-70% and I really need to have at least 90% in my next exams if I want to have a good enough score that I need for my dream school. Thanks for making this video, I hope it will help me with my math problems.
Absolutely, it can help if you forget what's in the past paper, or even better if the test is going to be similar to it (alot of schools recycle questions) so would recommend. If you run out you could also use other schools through acehsc if you are in nsw

I've never had issues with maths until now, I used to get like 95+ on every test and did olympiad without studying at all because I basically just paid a ton of attention in class. Having to deal with a super trash maths teachers sucks so I got a 74 on my most recent exam but I hope this can help me improve my grades. :) For some reason my new teacher wanted us to rush ahead to the point where we were consistently 3-4 WEEKS ahead of the rest of the classes. Thank whatever is up there for me not having to deal with him again this term.
