I don’t know why I studied hard for my maths test Really hard But still I got really low marks I revised my paper after finishing it Practiced many questions before the exam The exam was easy for me But still got low marks
I’m not going to have much tests or homework as I live in Finland, where we don’t have much rest or homework, but this information is very useful for me!
U mean test instead of rest Dude wish i was going to your school😢😢 There is too much pressure in India like hmwork books assignments projects tests etccc
Ikrrrr Like there is going to be a 20 marks exam then 80 marks exam twice throughout the year along with like, 10 diff things that make up your marks Like what do you need listening or speaking for 5 or ten marks Where does the hhw and marks for nb maintenance go? WHY DJ WE HAVE TO MAKE LAB MANUALS WHEN WE NEVER GO IN THE LAB?!
@@cheddarcheesewoah in my country, he wouldn't. You don't get any resources or tests to exercise before an exam. They will just tell you that the test will be based on e. g. four chapter in the book. And you need to memorise everything from this chapter, because questions will be based on those texts. If you fail, you'll get a different test while trying the second time. European school system sucks, because it's very hard and gettting straight A's is almost impossible, at least in Poland, where you have fourteen subjects per year and to get an straight A from a subject, you need to take a part in competition in this field. Otherwise, if you study hard enough, you'll get only an A.
Yeah, either the teacher won’t have much time or even if I can see my test back, I wouldn’t have time to check which questions matched with corresponding topic.
@@cheddarcheesewoah What's odd about it? You get to see what you missed/got wrong. This is customary in my country, and teachers are sometimes required by schools to keep your test papers for the duration of the year in case you want to check it again
@@TamWam_ try to do nothing for 3 days except basic things like eating drinking taking shower walking etc. Don't use mobile. sit on chair and try to keep yourself calm. At 3rd night before going to bed tell yourself what you want to do tomorrow.And keep reminding yourself what not to do during work.
When I was learning a certain math sheet, all the kids were just doing the ones they knew. And since I need help most of the time (autism) I was sitting at the back with the teacher and an EA. The teacher asked "which ones should we start with?" I pointed to the ones that I didn't understand and said "these ones because I understand the others better than this one" I was expecting an okay, but they both looked at me and said they were proud that I was choosing to practice my weaknesses instead of just doing the ones I already know. I think of that day every test I have and it makes me smile :)
I know it’s probably too late and that you’re probably set into your classes already, but try taking as many college classes as possible. Just doing that can put you 1-2 years ahead
My maths department at school did this with our exams. They provided feedback of what we got wrong by topic and set additional work per student based on that. I’m sure it was a lot of extra work for the teachers but it made a significant difference to everyone’s grade
these methods that gohar shares are how you know he's an MIT student i mean look at him! graphs! google sheets! i'd record like one or two tests and then lose momentum LOL
that’s how i am for math. but in other subjects like english or certain types of science, i really only have to study a little bit. like for the act’s i didn’t even buy an english book, i was already super advanced on the pre act for english and i’ve always been good at it so it would just be a waste of time for me. math on the other hand, needs a lot of work in every aspect.
This actually worked great i would normally get between 70-80% of the questions right but when i used this most of my test now a days i get 85-95% correct thanks man
This actually helped me alot in my last Anatomy exam. Our professor gives us the opportunity to go back and look at what we got wrong. And he told us that instead of looking simply at the write answers to what we got wrong, look at the "type" or "category" of questions we got wrong. Were the majority of questions about the bones? Muscles? Motion anaylsis? I targeted that on the exam I just took and I did alot better 👍
Focusing on weaknesses is not the best approach for "getting good grades". It is best approach to "understand". If you are a try hard student, there is a lot of chance that you understand most of the concepts and are likely to get good grades. The one you don't understands are probably the ones that no one else understands as well. The teachers usually do not put the hardest topics on exams or they do not count it a lot most of the times. There is a lot of chance that your weakness might not even be in the exam. Instead focus on topics that all the class understands and the teacher emphasizes on. You should understand your weaknesses but don't break your head over it. This is from experience. I used to focus on weaknesses for hours and they were not even covered in exams. I wish I took that time to focus on other topics.
Best studying hack ever that got me accepted in all my country's best universities programms I applied for, for free tuition- never learned for a test or exam and skipped as many classes as possible in my senior year.
My teachers sometimes like to refer to me as the “over achiever” since I’m always looking for work when in reality I just want to graduate early. No one’s bullied me for it or anything but it just feels weird being called out as the “over achiever” just for doing more than what you ask
I tried so hard to do this in my civics class because I was genuinely really struggling with it, but the teacher NEVER gave out results from tests, worksheets, nothing! We still got the grade, yes, but she never gave us the papers back to see what we got wrong or right. Made the whole class super hard.
My teacher has a booklet for use with each or our skills, after every big test, she has us review our missed or weakest topics and work on it in the booklet
Tbh if you ask me the best way to study (for me since I have trouble focusing) is to make it into a game. For example, in ELA there is something called quizlet and you can put your materials in then play the asteroid game. That way your both studying and playing a video game therefor your being forced to know it to advance
I have an easy way of doing this without involving spreadsheets, and this is what I usually do. I usually skip listings, and just open and study the chapters that I don't fully and correctly memorize. To keep the memorization equal, though, I do briefly read the chapters I have fully know to refresh my memory.
i would probably do it on paper or maybe an excel or something, it's really powerful but takes a little effort to remember, if only there is a way to automate it
I’ve been doing this! It’s so frustrating because I know that I work hard, but I’m not seeing the results I want (yet). My logic behind doing the first example is that everything is going to build off of each other from beginning to end, so I’ve just been studying everything in order from beginning to end. I’ve been working really hard but not seeing the results I want yet, so I guess I’ll try this way instead.
Question…what teachers call u a “try hard”? My teachers r always pleased when people improve or get wonderful marks, they want u to study hard and do ur maximum
My school took us out of lessons for an hour near exam time and told us a bunch of revision tips that I have seen on Gohar's channel. Gigachad move in my opinion.
I always either study my weakness or the most recent topics, for example if it’s about like the most recent unit we just went over that where I’m going to focus
Here’s what I do: before the session when the teacher is still coming I review my notes really quickly and review ONLY the important parts and my old tests then hide them under my desk for a lil but then I put them back and when I get to the test I go to the part I reviewed first so I don’t forget
This is actually a pretty good trick, I also do it, though I don't make graphs, i keep my weak chapters in the back of my mind, I am currently at a phase of life where I prioritise skills over grades so I have stopped doing such things, I mostly aim for a B+ grade(best is A) unless I am naturally good at it and I focus on learning extra industry oriented skills
I failed to do that during my first semester of college since I focused on studying every topic equally and gave the same importance to each aspect. That only led me to be too exhausted to actually work correctly.
Another good tip is to focus on things from the course literature that you hear your teacher subconsciously or deliberately focuses more on during class/lectures/seminars. Takes a bit of deeper listening but it’s worth it as it lessens the study load.
This happened to me yesterday. I had an exam and the question that showed up was the exact chapter I'm weak at, and there was no questions about I'm strong at. I'm doomed and I'm sure I'm gonna get F for that.
I've never heard about someone studying everything equally. When you know something, you just do a quick reminder, you spend the most of time on the hardest things. You need to be sure, you won't lose points on easy questions and at least be able to try to answer on harder ones
i’m the type of person that literally never studies… i really need help in motivation, i’m only in year 9 (grade 8), and the tests were so easy that they didn’t even require studying (though some people did get bad grades) the thing is, once i go into my GCSEs, i can’t do the same, but i’ve never learnt to study properly and i’ve always procrastinated, yet still got good marks just bc i’m ‘smart’ (which, i’m just like everyone else. and i need a way to motivate myself.)
Apply 80/20, Parkinson's Law, Active Recall and give yourself time, like 2 weeks or so, to internalize everything, and this is paramount: *use a Calender or some kind of track system* to keep close taps on your life. A simple google calender is enough (reducing the labour of managing multiple systems) and if that's not possible, due to logistic issues, try to learn with organization systems of the past. Use a whiteboard, pen and paper. This will also enhance your writing skills and memory since writing is thinking frozen in time and you'll need to be clear and concise for your system not to overwhelm you instead of help. You'll end up with an ability to create systems which is more important than the systems themselves, cause it allows to adapt. Unless what you truly want is to study one day, maybe remember and absolutely forget long term, and feel like you're always being rushed. Get good faster on what's more important and since active recall can be a pain in the ass, especially after a tiresome day in school, i recommend doing a little bit everyday, like 30m, not to wait to the test period. Luckily you can use the questions the book already have (or you might search it online) reducing the friction of coming up your own or to have to write an essay about it (but an essay is a great and simple last resource). Try to find a golden mean - not too little, not too much questions, and this will vary depending on subject - focusing on showing up is more important. And maybe even more important, sleep enough, eat healthy and enough, exercise and keep a proper growth mindset where you seek challenges and difficulties instead of avoiding it, which leaves you weak.
I feel like you should just realize, like actually tell yourself, your weaknesses after each test, or even while your taking it. This is good but also keep these things in mind throughout the year so u don’t cram.
