TOP 3 TIPS FROM AMY WHICH HELPED ME TO LEVEL UP MY STUDIES #1 Quality > Quantity : So basically let me explain with an example , in my previous year ( grade 9 ) our math sir once asked us that how many questions do we practice every day and to that one boy replied that he practices 50 qs but not regularly (and he was cramming those questions also) but there I was doing 20 qs everyday with a clear understanding . When our final math's exam result came out I was shocked to see that I was the one who the highest marks 96/100 and that boy got like 62 or something . This means you need to focus on efficiently understanding a chapter instead of completing that chapter in a rush . #2 Practice : Trust me instead of reading notes and chapter 2 to 3 times , do questions ! . Like get a question paper of that chapter and try to solve them after watching any summary video or quickly skim though the chapter and if you suck in a question or you have no idea about the answer then .... open your book and read that particular topic though which the question is related . Eventually you will read that chapter indirectly . #3 Your actions depends on your mindset : If you want straight As the simple thing you need to do is to change every thing from WANT to DO ( present time ) . Like from I WANT STRAIGHT As to I AM A STRAIGHT A STUDENT this small change in mindset will make a drastic improvement because now your mind will support your actions to get those marks . THESE TIPS WERE USED MY ME AND HELPED ME A LOT SO I THINK THESE TIPS WILL HELP YOU TOO :)

notes for myself: EFFICIENCY is key 🗝 -if u stay focused, it will be easier to cram in a shorter period -skim all topics on exam -understand why you do things -Prioritize the things u need most actions on (find weaknesses) - do practice Qs and do questions done in class again - DO NOT SACRIFICE SLEEP

@fatimawaqarmc 14 дней назад

i just found out a new method. The thing is, I think too much and create different fake scenarios in my hear. I just created a scenario that a teacher is quizzing me and I'm giving her answers. I asked all of the questions related to what my exam is going to be about and i am remembering all of them. I guess this techniue is only for those people who think about pointless stuff or scenarios all the time, it really worked for me and I'm happy my preps are good for tomorrow's exam. I am not sure whether this will work for others as well but if it does then it'll make me happy to be able to help. (I know this method is a bit weird)

Hi Amy!I just want to start off by saying thank you.I had my terms last month and I scored well just because of you.I had sustained a serious injury(a cut on my leg,I got 12 stitches)Because of which I couldn't go to school for 2 and half months and I had missed a whole semester.My parents thought I might have to repeat my grade because of how much I had missed and so did I,but you gave me faith and helped me.I scored second highest on my social science term and I scored third highest in the grade on my science test.Basically I passed with a distinction on 3 subjects because of your videos.Your an inspiration!

@_-Totoro-_ 15 дней назад

Hey Amy! Hope youre doing well. I js want to say how amazing you looked in this video. I currently have to study 4 Units for a final science test in 1 day so its not looking too good.- plus no motivations and procrastination. . Your point on overdelivering is something I've been using for so long! However you have to be careful when doing it because 1 wrong point will make the whole answer wrong (especially in science) .Prioritizing what you know and don't is essential! why would you study something you know over something you don't. To do this reading your syllabus is the easiest way (like Amy said) .Understanding key concepts and why you do something is so important. On tests questions are based on your understanding. It's not like they're going to ask what the formula for resistance is, they will give you information and ask you to work out the resistance. Personally, this makes memorizing and remembering so much easier .Practice problems are AMAZING. Ive been doing a few past papers and its really helped me find out how you should answer a question. (marking schemes are tough!) Phew! All that writing is giving me motivation to study. just a few more tests before summer break!

Read this if you just finished the vid or came back in the future to just check the points again. 1. top priority is to be efficient. 2. Maximise the output, minimise the input. 3. Be calm and composed under the high stress situations. Know that you're in control. 4. Control your focus. It is what decides the intensity of your study. 5. Goal - maximising the points you get. steps- 1. Get the big picture. Don't panic. Perform a shallow skim of your syllabus. Use chapter summaries. Grasp the connections of the topics that you do end up remembering, instead of arbitrary facts. Understand the reason for every step when it comes to science and math. Always know "why" you did something whenever you do. 2. Prioritise. 1. Use your syll., a friend who took the test bef. you, your senpai, your teachers etc. 2. Make the list then. Work down the priority list. 3. Target practice problems. You don't have enough time to know all the unnecessary details. Review and redo Qs of the particular topics. Notes should be the supplement, and the Qs should be leading your study. 4. Work on your weaknesses. It's easier to gather more mediocre level in stuff you don't know than trying to perfect the stuff you do already know. And you don't have time to be a perfectionist. Address as many weaknesses as you can, without spending too much time on them. 5. Don't sacrifice your freaking sleep. It will just make your study less effective, and you'll probably suffer by NOT being in the best condition for the test. Strike the balance b/w staying up late and giving enough rest to your brain. 6. Take a deep breath, and remind yourself that it's just one test. 7. Right now go study, close youtube.

Hi Amy, I'm a year 10 student in the UK and we have our gcses next year, I never know how to revise really efficiently, especially triple science and business. I was wondering how i can get straight As/ 9s in my upcoming gcses. I have my mocks at the end of June too, so I really hope you can help

@NewjeansCupcake 15 дней назад

im doing my gcse's right now so I will say definitely revise during summer holidays (2hrs a day) and think about the subjects you wanna pick for A-levels (make them ur priority and work harder on them) starting year 11 the whole year will zoom by so I'd say please revise well, work hard for your mock exams always ask for feedback and if you want to get straight 9s you really need to put the work in and I regret not doing that now, please make mindmaps, notes, and don't just throw them away look and memorise them every 3 days revise alot from your textbook for science anc maths past papers are your best friends and also do questions from physics and maths tutor website PLEASE DONT WASTE TIME, if you want a 9 in english you need to work REALLY HARD and make sure to write practice essays every weekend and give them to ur teacher for review, for other subjects like history, re, geography and french just prioritze the textbook and practice as much as possible trust me time will fly in a brink of your eye so work hard now so you don't have to regret it later. ALSO DONT NEGLECT EXERCISE AND SOCIAL LIFE AND DELETE SOCIAL MEDIA AND GAMES IT WILL MASSIVELY HELP PAY ATTENTION IN CLASS --- revision means reviewing your notes, textbook, questions and do them regularly especially for core subjects, your tier will be decided based on your mocks so please perform well if you dont want to sit foundation tier, good luck and I hope you'll start now and not regret it later

@MeghaMadhu-dd3mj 14 дней назад

@@NewjeansCupcake thank you so much, I will try and do what you have told me! Js one more question, i never know how to structure my answers and need to work on time management, do you haven any tips for these? Also, good luck for tomorrow, you'll smash it

@NewjeansCupcake День назад

@@MeghaMadhu-dd3mj to know how to structure i'd say just listen and follow what ur teacher says but otherwise yt is a good place and channels like mr salles, mr everything english can tell you how to write good structured answers, you can search up mark schemes and find out what exactly you need to include in your answers to hit the mark scheme and bag in all the marks. Time management is smth you can only imprive by practice, do timed practice papers and don't cheat, try whatever you can try and mark it, its fine if you dont get very good marks because you have a whole year to improve, after you find out your mistakes read that topic again or improve on it and then come back to it and without looking do that specific question to see if you get it right, in essay based subjects its super important to write fast so if you practice writing essays every weekend I thnk you'll be in a good position, make sure to time them tho. Also treat your mock exams as a REAL THING as mocks are so useful they really put you under a good exam pressure and you learn alot from your mocks, utilise your teachers and if you're planning to apply to other schools (eg grammar schools) your first mock (november-december) mocks are much more important than your second set of mocks because the grades you get in those mocks are what those schools are gonna see and especially get higer grades in the subjects you want for alevels in the mock 8s or 9s then they will immediately select you I think you should always apply to other schools just in case to be safe thats it good luck im sure you'll do amazing
