If you’re procrastinating right now, check this out. I made a free masterclass where you'll learn how to study less while getting better grades. Watch here; 👇 www.superiorstudents.co.uk/opt-in-student-masterclass
As someone who's been going thru the last board exams of her life and officially done with school life,the best advices i could give the juniors are that please please please do study regularly. Especially the things you've learnt in class or lectures,you should recap them that day when you're home. Summarize the whole topic and write them down on your own way. You'll definitely see the results. I wish i realised this earlier now it's too late
- Study the least but get the best results (not more hours are equal to more knowledge gained) - 80 - 20 rule is important don’t cram, memorize, taking notes, … Try to focus on that 20% - Focus on the exam questions (practice questions) - Deep work for 90 minutes (with minecraft background music) - Set precise goals P/s: Don’t take notes like me
for distractions, i just treat my mind like a spoiled child - ‘you can’t do this now, but i’ll give you this, and then after you do 1 hour you can do that.’ is my technique!
I remember when I was younger my mom would say “you can’t have your dinner unless you’ve shown me all the homework or studying you’ve done” to build a good study habit and it really did
Ya I study for a good hour and take a good 10-15 minute guitar break, it’s funny cause it helps me learn plus I’m getting a lot better at playing guitar lol
0:59 Study effectively and efficiently with consuming less hours 1:47 the thoughts holding you back 2:08 less is more 2:08 deep work 3:02 80-20 rule (pareto principle) 3:45 making notes is bad 4:20 topic questions be very important 3:19 distractions 7:51 precise goals Tip: solve past year papers to score A+++ and prove everyone wrong and show up with slay results
fr, im just procrastinating watching these 'how to study' videos hoping i magically absorb the knowledge without actually studying. life's hard when you're a procrastinator :/
as a Chinese working overbroad rn and having heavy exam qualifications upcoming, i'm impressed by ur way of BRILLIANT expression and i love your videoooo!!!followed right away, finally, after following loads of korean study youtubers and watch them study for 36 hrs nonstop, someone stand out and share the secrets behind it lol
I'm a sixth grader and goddamn it we have 11 subjects to study But thankyou Mendos Anonymous Hack, I love your channel so much , it has made it easier for me to study 11 subjects and I even recommend your channel to my best friend. You don't only talk about problems but also about their solution. Thank you so much
This has easily become one of my favourite & the realest credit repair source major level of mature grown conversations amongst legends intellectual mindsets.Different level of transparency.It's authentic.Dope to see! Salute to Mendos Anonymous Hack
These are great tips. I will for sure be doing them . One thing I like to add is I also keep a "mistake" notebook . I write everything I got wrong in my exams or the past papers down so I don't repeat them
My teachers also asked me to maintain a mistake notebook.... But I'm really confused... Like... What am I supposed to write in that? What's the pattern to write stuff in it?
@@Pingpingpingbambam just by making bullet points of the mistakes..or rather writing a sample question followed by the mistake you do( as well as the correct way to do it in a different pen colour preferably). What this will do automatically is that every single time you come across such a question in the exam, that mistake will be the first thing that comes to mind and you will be sure to avoid it. It does not really have a pattern persay. just write them however you want and just be sure to constantly revisit and recall them and fully classify the book as your mistake notebook and that you will never repeat whatever mistake that you write in that book
I'm curious, but how would you apply this? Idk about you guys but for us, after we finish an exam on x topic, we move on to the next one and never touch it again (except for finals lol)....
I find that this works more for STEM students, like doing questions and stuff, but for humanities students, you have to spend lots of time reading and applying what you read through writing and assignments. It's unavoidable. I have never stayed up all night studying for a chemistry test, because I can just solve the practice questions and tests over and over again. And once you can solve the most difficult questions in the textbook, you are ready for the test. But the only all-nighters I've ever pulled were for English class. Writing an essay takes time, even if you do not notice the time. First you have to understand the subject. Then you have to formulate new and profound thoughts on that learned info. Then you have to articulate it in writing in order to apply your thoughts well so that the teacher can judge your knowledge. That's a solid B. But a solid A...well that's hard. You have to go above and beyond and really connect the readings to your own thoughts, and maybe even the world. And you have to do it well and convincingly and ope- it's 6am and you studied for 12 hours straight by accident.
that was such a good summation but, tbh, not relatable. im planning to take humanities with so much pressure to take science and i think as my country has english as a second language, the standards over that subjects are much lower. in rural areas, just being able to say "i am a boy" in english is a subject of awe. maybe thats why getting almost 100% in english is easier for fluent/semi-fluent students. but reading your comment makes me much more apprehensive about my command over english...if i were to move abroad in the future, (which i most probably will), then would that be a herculean task? would english, my best subject, potentially become my worst due to higher standards in english-speaking countries...?
@@side5029 I'm from Canada, and English is not easy here, its all about organizing your words in a way that conveys what you know and convinces the reader your point. Writing is meant to be beautiful. Honestly I did take my fair share of STEM classes in grade 11 (chem, physics, functions, programming). And the science and math classes were indeed very difficult, even more difficult than the humanities. I was doing awful in them, but my problem back then was that I kept making notes (which is useless). But when I got a tutor my grades turned out fine and the courses were a lot easier, because it's just your ability to understand complex theories and functions of science and math. But I never needed to spend more than 3 hours per day on my STEM subjects. Because once you understood the unit and how to solve the difficult questions, you're set for the tests and exams. Humanities requires you to think critically and beyond the scope of what you are given. I'm going into law so in grade 12 I dropped all my STEM classes and took philosophy, social studies, history, law, etc. Reading is very time consuming but it must be done. Planning your essay, writing your answer, thinking, these things are more time consuming than they sound. So while the "minimal time deep thinking" technique shown in the video may work for STEM classes, they do not work for humanities. I remember doing a philosophy assignment on the matrix and it took me a whole 2 days to answer 9 questions about the movie. (A bunch of kids got in trouble with that assignment because they used ChatGPT to answer them, which is why you should always keep your written outline and thinking before you type it up). To answer your question about studying abroad, I'm also going abroad for Law School in Scotland and I'm kind of scared because they take the arts and humanities a lot more seriously. Honestly, your essay writing MUST be excellent if you want to study humanities in an English speaking country. Read as many of the classics as you can, it'll save you a lot of trouble.
Something that help me past with an A for my humanities classes is to 1:Don't try to edit and create at the same time, when trying to be a perfectionist, it's really difficult to generate ideas. Instead just try to get the word count down and then revise. However, this skill will take some time to build up. 2:Try to write when you have the most energy and have clear goals. 3:Imo, reading the texts are inevitable, but you can maximize your 1st reading sessions. I like to generate essay prompt questions for the readings and then answer them in 2-3 paragraphs, this is simply my ideas rather than trying sound professional. It'll help you prepare for exam prompts your professor may give to you.
This man spends hundreds of thousands of time just to help us. He helps those in need while also helping us. He always puts a smile on our faces and we should appreciate it. Hats off to Him! I love you dude. Crazy I've never payed attention to the Mendos anonymous hack on the internet movement when I say ancestral your a gift to our people
@@lolitsme9670 I mostly write down a paragraph after reading it for example, it helps me learn it easily. Don’t try to be aesthetic, just get your book, your pen and a paper and get straight to the point. Every 1 hour I take a small break and drink some water, and sometimes I write down the mistakes I make and correct myself which makes me remember that specific part I didn’t get correct much better! Hope I helped
1. Read the theory, underline words or lines that define the whole paragraph 2. Solve the previous year questions topic wise and mark the the tricky or time taking ones (also see how a teacher solves those questions) 3. Cut out distractions if possible or like he said, delay them 4. Don't make time tables(not very effective), set goals for each week and divide it as each day's task. Keep 1 or 2 days for revision( quickly go through those underlined words and topics in your textbook and solve the marked questions ) 5. Set feasible goals 6. At the end of the month take a collective assessment
This amazing Mendos anonymous hack especially for people with anxiety disorders who either can't go out or can't handle high stress jobs. This is wonderful. Thank you so much for caring and sharing. Blessings
i was always a 95-100% student during all of my school years. I did not study excessively , the key was to understand as much as I could during the lesson and be punctual. When I got home I always did my homework and had also plenty of time to spend on other activities. Playing a musical instrument , being past of a team , painting can increase your productivity and agility too.
@@redpanda4706 real. I think for our case we can do other activities in the weekend, cutting out scrolling on social media will give u more time to do activities even for an hour. (Even though i have pre-school lessons too😭)
As an Indian who has qualified some of the toughest entrance exams and even failed in some school practice tests, my only recommendation is to STUDY. Most of the times, we over-assume studying and focus on making it aesthetic, but the reality is to sit with your books, pen and paper and just study for terms. And while studying, write them down just after going through a part. And revise constantly.
@@Annamaidd The exact way to do so / The exact answer to your question, lies in the second para of my main comment. ~ " Sit with your books, pen and paper and immediately write after learning / memorising a particular part (the length of which depends upon your comfort). Write what you memorized. Then after around a week or two, REVISE what you learned. I used to follow the exact procedure since my class 1 / age=6. My mother taught it to me. At the age of 18 now, I can say, it's the only way to crack any exam. Just blindly do it. Learn, Write, Revise. It may be lengthy as a process but it's effectiveness is beyond measurable.
I really like how you also mentioned your failures. many people have this assumption that all these successful students have an innate predisposition to study and that even if they dont study, they will still get good grades.this kind of mindset bars a lot of students to work hard and demotivates them when the reality is that successful people are hardworkers and smartworkers.
During my last semester, I been going through some rough times on getting myself less distracted and I sometimes get jealous on the people that are smarter at my college but thanks to this video I finally wanted to improve on my knowledge and work ahead on my goals on being an environmental scientist. Thank you Mendos anonymous hack for making this video because that will help improve my work-life balance in the future
The very first thing I’m doing before studying or revising anything is to write down all the topics and then get 3 colours and mark the topics I already am familiar with, the ones I don’t fully understand and the ones I don’t understand at all. That takes only a few minutes and is so practical for having a good overview of everything and later for efficiently using your precious study time. Now when I start studying I first study the topics I don’t understand at all. My red flag is that I just love having a summary of all topics on one page. That’s why I always write my summary around a week before the test/exam, BUT it is so important to really just write a SUMMARY and not all the little details. I always do that on my computer because 1. I have more space on one page and 2. It’s just so much faster and easier. I love having my own summary for revising everything in a quick way (for example before sleeping or right before the test/exam). When I have prioritised my topics and wrote my summary (this takes me around 30-45 minutes) I’m gonna study all topics by using different study techniques that work best for me (I think it’s really personal which study techniques are working for you). I really liked this video and just wanted to share my study habits! Please always remember to put your mental health first and don’t feel pressured to be this perfect student, because literally nobody is perfect! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
Honestly i usually just get home and start noting what I remember from todays math class (example), then I highlight everything I didn't remember/know. So everry time before an exam I take a look at what I consistently didn't know and try to understand the topic. Got my grades up in math and German within a few months
Really some good advice. I never struggled as much with working efficiently since I found ways I can study in less time pretty early on and I also set precise goals for myself. My problems are that I get distracted easily, am unmotivated and can't discipline myself to actually stay focused for longer periods of time. So although I am very productive when I work, I procrastinate way too much, which leads to having less time left, which stresses me out and makes me even less willing go go study. It's also nice to hear someone acknowledge that leaving all distractions behind isn't something you can just do and it takes time to get used to and pull through. Thanks a lot :)
Hey, I'm a university student I do electrical engineering. I had to relearn how to study because college was beating my ass during the first semester. Only now, I've started to abandon the idea of copying everything and I started focusing 100% on past exams, and it really makes a difference. I agree 100% with your video, especially the part about setting a goal to learn in a small amount of time. Another important tip is to study every day, even when you feel super tired. That way, after a few months, studying calculus 2 just becomes an everyday thing.
I seriously can’t get myself to practice past papers because I don’t even know how to answer any question. Would it be helpful/useful if I practice exam questions everyday (while checking the mark scheme for the answers) until I slowly get the hang of it, become knowledgeable and start working on my own without the mark scheme?
You're beyond awesome for giving your time, free of charge, to these helpless folks that are so vulnerable. These scumbags are utterly bereft of conscience, honor, and scruples, to say the least. They swoop in like the jack, it's really a great honor knowing and working with you increasing mine massively without issues, You are literally doing the Lords work. Love your work Mendos Anonymous Hack on the internets Thanks So Much And Everything Y'all Do.
Damn. I thought this was just going to be another video like every other "that student", but no, you made a REALLY clear, concise, simple and practical video and all of that under 10 minutes! I'm saving this video for life! Your words REALLY spoke to mez thanks for writing the script the way you wrote it, it really opened up my mind and created a clear path without resistance. Thank You! 🎉
Aww you're the first person to ACTUALLY build my trust over studying in a short time. I just know that studying focused for lesser time was more efficient for me than a whole day. Nobody in India approved. Hell yeah thanks a lot. You're so cute and adorable bro. This society needs a student like you. Keep working great! ❤😊
yeah for me the whole comparing how many hours you study thing that was pushed out in asia was what was confusing to me and led me to make the video. im glad you liked it:)
Hahahhaa really? Society is still stuck on something silly like that? It’s always important to believe yourself innovate and see your results, and for that you have to say yes yes but I won’t be treating it like a bible to what others tell you. But still idk studying seems like something that it should progress in much faster than that imo 😂 I guess others want you to reach your potential? But.. what abojt the potential of living a happy life? Is that not important? Is it bc we’re too happy and excited about the new world we’re living in? And we think being a student is the time to build your foundation forever? Hmm I see I see… you do gotta remember that students will have more motivation and power to build a good foundation for their future if they are happy and living well rather than completely sacrificing their years like a slave for it.. but I guess that’s a concept people have to explore a bit in order to realize. I guess it’s everyone’s personal choice and I’d like to see everyone’s new innovations.. rather than I’d like to criticize those who seem reckless based on my own clueless ideas 😂
I have watched hours and hours of videos on how to study effectively during this summer, but this is genuinely the best video I have watched yet. Love the content man!!!
As an Asian clicking on this vid I was worried this was gonna be a 'glorifying unhealthy amts of studying' thing, but I'm really relieved at your approach to studying. Ik that ppl look towards us cuz how our countries are portrayed (which ngl is quite accurate) but this approach is honestly the best. Take care and good luck in school!
I have a afro-asian that didnt have anything lower than a A and I was inspired by him while the others were shaming him behind hus back just like you described in the intro, and I'm pretty good academically the only thing that set me below him was athletics, and I wanted to be just like him bc I like to work with ppl not against, and I figured out the only thing I didn't do in this video was the regular daily study, I only studied for the test a night before and I did well most of the part, So thank you for these tips and I hope that everybody can succeed at their academics and please their parents 😊❤
Everything you said is true. I'm a med student and I started off solely making pretty notes on my ipad, and I look back on them now and i don't remember jack shit. As soon as I gained access to question banks, ditched the need to have perfect notes, I started seeing the results. I use note taking for more consolidation; to compare similar and different things (because that's what's tested). I am still trying to overcome that more hours=more knowledge and it is a somewhat hard pill to swallow. What I've learnt that how many hours of deep work that allows you to grasp content is worth way more than idly sitting at a desk and only ever taking a breath when having to eat/shower. I feel like that not putting much pressure on yourself opens up the gates of your mind more lol. Wonderful tips and i love the concept of deep work. i am on a journey to fully maximizing on that concept, because it really is the key.
TH-cam recommended me this video and I just clicked it cuz I have a bio exam the day after tomorrow. I almost wasted the whole day chillin today. The type of students he described (makes notes and thinks they're studying tons, flips through textbooks and not really study the main topics) is totally me. I always procrastinate and even tho I take more time to study than anyone I've known, I end up studying faster than anyone right the last minute. That's just how I survive even tho it gets me burned out everytime. So, this video was like a fate to me lol. I really needed to hear that. THANK YOU ♡
@@CupcakeSurprise-o3r lmao I'm in 11th grade too (wow was this a coincidence too..?) Tho I'd be a 12th grader real soon. It's my year final. So wish me luck~
I've already graduated and am moving into a MBA program, but I highly recommend delaying your distractions, as this is a key point to how to become successful in your studies. Both my parents (Singapore and Chinese) always used this method of forcing me to study 1-2 hours, then allow me to spend my time freely until later at night when we do a quick review. This is very efficient and for parents, this is a great way of parenting that will help more to guiding your kid while they will eventually learn to appreciate the effort you have put in.
The way you guys just remain humble & move behind the recommendation is how more people should move. You Mendos anonymous hack on the internet deserve it all! This Helps people see how much of an angel cognitive notch is. I'm proud of you man. The Main reason you inspire me to help people.

As an asian who has to go to study classes because of my parents and gets sent to tutoring each day for 3 hours after school, then having to go home and study more. I can say that that stuff does not work. Do what works for you, find ways like this video. I use the 80 by 20 rule and it works really well. I will start using the Minecraft background music too. This whole video opened my mindset to an easier and better way. Thank you
yt recommended me this video maybe maybe bc they know how much i wasted time the first few weeks of class lol…but now im learning that i can pretty much skip my textbook readings and just research for my papers and still get straight A’s with half the effort. this is a great video!! i hope you continue doing well in school 😊
As someone who struggled as hell with organisation, procrastination and all messed up things a good student should avoid, I'd been obsessed watching all this study techniques on TH-cam and Internet. I got super overwhelmed, none of these worked for me and my anxiety started crawling to my head. "I need to find the perfect method and schedule" I used to say-... And sometimes the best studying method is so simple as paying attention in class and asking questions. Understanding what ur being teached is the key. Furthermore, having a keen interest on the topic and searching doubts on TH-cam or internet overall, has helped me alot. I like taking effective notes, like writing the date and topic, also doing like a little scheme with brief explanation of what we are talking, while writing at a side vocabulary that idk. With a basic scheme, at home, I can highlight those things that I kinda struggle and search up the info that I don't understand. After that it's just about accumulating notes till you have a nice lil book to study and revise for the exams. I advice revising everyday what u had done yest. 5 mins or so, using the question method in ur head. So when the exam it's close, you already know pretty much everything and you only need to revise a little bit.😊 In subjects that revolves around problem solving it doesn't work ofc, those I highly recommend practicing everyday with exams that other students may have posted on the internet or problems that might equal to the level of the exam's. Even tho, I really suggest finding ur self-made methods that adjusts to ur conditions and necessities.🙃
I relate a lot to what you wrote. I never really struggled with working efficiently but starting to work at all. I also take a lot of notes in classes etc. and know how I need to study but I really struggle with maths even though I know I need to solve a lot of problems since learning the theory doesn't help. But I really hate it and never do. All those study videos are promoting just doing better and getting over it, but it's really not that easy to discipline yourself like that. And in the end, you're right, you need to find what works for you and sadly others can suggest options but you somehow have to figure it out on your own. I hope everyone figures it out (sooner rather than later, including me)
Thank you for this. I always feel like I'm never studying enough and I feel guilty when I get distracted and annoyed because of all the studying. I now feel more motivated to try and focus deeply :) It isn't going to be easy but I know how to start now!
80/20 is amazing principle, it applies literally every area of life. Just pick the fundamentals/most important tasks that move you towards desired goal/outcome and max them out... If you can, Monk Mode/Dopamine Detox while preparing for exam is probably best choice to make... cut out all the distractions, and only do productive stuff (when you get tired, instead of scrolling or playing vidya, read some book, or watch high value podcast about specific topic you'll be able to implement info in) Great vid.
A technique I found myself is that I try to remember the guilt and emptiness of indulging in social media and entertainment without having studied enough whenever I go to do those things. This makes me more inclined to do the work as my mind now associates procrastination with sadness and guilt.
I'm going into yr12 now and i feel like this vid is so helpful fr! thank you for making such an informative but quick and precise vid for us who especially just finished gcses and aren't used to revising all the time cuz we wait for like the month before. consistence is key,, 2hrs a day can be of great help!!!❤❤
I feel like a lot of people (particularly beginners) are super eager to participate in the rat race of getting more hours under their study routine. A lot of people often assume that i study a shit ton lot and am just lying when i tell them that i actually study way less than i probably should 😅 but it is true. Although i am kind of trying to get into studying for longer hours to built a stronger daily revesion routine Super helpful video btw :) thank you!!
this is exactly what my Asian parents tell me every day, this video is a better version of their explanation and it helped a lot, thank you!! I will use this technique in my midterms starting next week!!
Hidden Time Wealth is so unique. I can’t believe I hadn’t heard about it sooner. It’s amazing how life-changing this can be for anyone battling procrastination.
school starts in a week for me so ill be using these tips as well as some that have worked in the past for me 🔥 rlly good vid you earned yourself a sub 🙏🙏
I remember how I'd used to set these type of goals and would study extra hard. A year later I can see how my school performance isn't the best, so these three tips seem pretty helpful. Wish me luck on my progress!
thank you for sharing your thoughts on this matter and giving us such great advices about studying!! This year as a student i have also dealt with a lot of distractions such as netflix, youtube etc, so your video was really helpful. Keep it up!!
My advice is that if u take notes for the sake of taking notes, don’t do it because it’s a waste of time. Just read the textbooks and try to understand it instead of memorizing. 80% of the stuff taught can be remembered by just understanding it (not the case for labeling stuff though)
Another good tip is to go to college for something you actually enjoy. I'm an absolute nerd for zoology and geology. I dropped out of school in 6th grade so I could spend all of my time studying. It is like a hobby to me, I don't see it as work. I actually enjoy sitting down and spending 8 hours every single day learning about tarantulas and rocks. It is very interesting to me and I love talking about it. I take notes in google docs and I write essays for fun. I know no one will ever see them, but I still continue to write essays. It helps me retain knowledge. I also spend a lot of time talking about zoology and geology with my friends. It makes me happy. I start college in January and I am so damn excited. I can't wait to learn more! Zoology doesn't make a lot of money so that degree will just be a fun project for me. Geology makes quite a bit of money so that will be my job. I can't wait to explore the world and look at rocks. I absolutely LOVE rocks. Also, a good way to learn is to take practice tests for exams and for the specific area you are studying in. For example: if you are learning about aquatic animals, take tests about them. The more tests, the better. You will learn a lot more by taking tests. I did not study for the HISET, the college accuplacer, or the written portion of the driving test you do before you get a driving permit. I did practice tests instead and the majority of the questions are on the actual test. I did the tests once a day for 2 days, then every other day. The day before the tests I did them again. I've found that you have to kinda let the words marinate in your head. If you continue to do the same test over and over again you won't learn anything, you will just memorize the answers. If you take some time in between them and completely forget about it, then next time you take the test you will remember some of the answers. Every single question from the practice HISET and accuplacer tests were on the actual test by the way. The majority of the practice test questions for the driving test are on there too. You will have a higher chance of getting a higher score since you know you will get at least 5 or 10 questions right depending on the length of the practice test and the actual test.
@@13lack_Rose Nopers! I've spent over 8 hours a day studying on my own time. I achieved the HISET which is harder than getting a highschool diploma. I have college ready scores and I've already started studying for college and taking practice tests. It's actually very easy! :D
06:30 is what I call delayed reward. It is much more satisfying getting to watch that episode or that to fight that final boss once you've completed your deep work session
Honestly, as a possibly neurodivergent Student, this is the first video on studying that seems, well, realistic. Even in my standards with my difficulties in learning, will definitely give this a go as the school year starts
TH-cam knew i needed help but i was skipping on this vid for the last two months. I really appreciate your hard work , Thank you for taking the time to upload a video like this its really helpful.
I'm entering my 3rd year in uni, I get good grades but I definitely felt like I could do better overall. I'm looking to be more consistent and make studying every day fun and interesting while also trying to learn other things and being in touch with my hobbies. Great video!!
beautiful video and keep in mind your doing what I consider hard to do …. oral presentation without looking at your script ( atleast i hope you aren’t ;) ) anyways that’s all from me i’m going to prepare myself for my exams in term three .
-Practice questions. -Distance yourself from distractions. -Be precise, set goals for yourself BEFOREHAND. You will be like a guided missile ready to DECIMATE your target.
The way Hidden Time Wealth dives into the concept of productivity is mind-blowing. Hidden Time Wealth tips are pure gold, and I wish more people knew about them.
I feel like I either have the inability to stay focused or ADHD. I so easily get distracted by many things; a fly passing by, a squeak made by a chair, rustling of papers, you name it.
Imo it's neither ADHD nor inability to stay focused that is keeping you from focusing but (if i am guessing it right) you are not even interested in the study material.But that's not your fault , textbooks ARE boring😢 BUT you can do something about it,like learning the how and why of things , applications of formulas ,imagining scenarios and creating stories instead of cramming...as long as you develop that close relation with your subjects, will you start to enjoy and excel at studies...Stay motivated❤❤ and remember ,nothing is wrong with you but the way you are DOING stuff can be ineffective
Okay hands down this is the best study advice so far. I realized I've been doing every wrong things that he said. Making notes on everything for hours and hours but none of them come to my brain. I'll binge do the past questions from now on.
Thank you so much for those great study tips! Actually, I've been implementing a couple of those tips into my studying sessions and they indeed have great results! Keep up the great work man.
And here I was thinking "teenagers these days are sooooo distracted" Funny I have to learn the best secret to passing my exams from a teenager. Another Jim Kwik. Thank you my friend.This was a real eye opener.
Alright y’all I ma be dead honest I am an Indian and I am no gifted student however I ace all my exams because of my clear passion… success will ALWAYS derive from passion so me personally I don’t believe in bs that these so called “organized” TH-cam students have to say about ohhhh “you should study 2 hrs a day everyday” or ohh “you need to get 8hrs of sleep” NO it’s all about passion if you have the passion for something no matter how tired you are no matter how dead inside you are you will succeed and that’s my message to you guys “Follow your dreams and passion” not some bs on the internet
Unfortunately a lot of us are stuck doing something we are not passionate about because we just haven’t found it. But I agree, I cannot bring myself to study sometimes because it’s so boring to me 😢
Only when starting teaching myself I realised that sooo many students actually have no clue about basic learning skills or how to be efficient when reading/memorising! I believe it should be taught at school, and it must align with the exam system too.. Thank you for the great video!
Hi, im taking 8 classes, one is a college credit class, i have a learning disability and i also have bad habits and bad time management, thank you so much for this. You are gonna help me get through school and into my dream college and get my dream job
Hey bro im part Korean living in the UK and i cant thank you enough for this video as i am jsjt beginning college and i love that you kept the discipline system in place as i perosonally love playing video games but first if i do 2 hours deep work then i can reward myself after
I think I've been doing this by mistake all year and it improved a lot of my marks drastically✅it's reassuring to know that I'm not just basing my results on whether I'm lucky enough to remember but on an actually effective manner of studying
Hey. Thank you. Ive been avoiding, and even skipping school. Ive always thought that if I missed one assignment, or failed one test, I would fail the next one. This video is what I needed to boost my confidence in getting schoolwork done. Thank you.
Hey, I'm a university student I do electrical engineering. I had to relearn how to study because college was beating my ass during the first semester. Only now, I've started to abandon the idea of copying everything and I started focusing 100% on past exams, and it really makes a difference. I agree 100% with your video, especially the part about setting a goal to learn in a small amount of time. Another important tip is to study every day, even when you feel super tired. That way, after a few months, studying calculus 2 just becomes an everyday thing.
I remember during my mock exams, I would overhear my classmates saying how they went through 10 past papers last night but they got the lowest mark and I would be there with the knowledge of half a past paper and some videos and the hope in my heart that my memory won't fail me and a wish in my head that 'those' topics won't come

What is the backround musics by the way
As someone who's been going thru the last board exams of her life and officially done with school life,the best advices i could give the juniors are that please please please do study regularly. Especially the things you've learnt in class or lectures,you should recap them that day when you're home. Summarize the whole topic and write them down on your own way. You'll definitely see the results. I wish i realised this earlier now it's too late
Ok sir, Will try my best following your advice
Hsc?
wish I could've seen this earlier my life is ruined now because of my stupid mistakes
Good luck, and yes this works can confirm because this is how I studied
confirm this workss this is how ive been studying n its so effective
- Study the least but get the best results (not more hours are equal to more knowledge gained)
- 80 - 20 rule is important don’t cram, memorize, taking notes, … Try to focus on that 20%
- Focus on the exam questions (practice questions)
- Deep work for 90 minutes (with minecraft background music)
- Set precise goals
P/s: Don’t take notes like me
Minecraft BG music is phenomenal!
*cut out bad habits during deep worl
bought the book but was in middle of reading another one will now try to switch to the 80/20 principle cause school year just started
He said don't take notes and you wrote that down as a note :)
80 what
for distractions, i just treat my mind like a spoiled child - ‘you can’t do this now, but i’ll give you this, and then after you do 1 hour you can do that.’ is my technique!
I used to have a similar strategy but I fell off. It’s time to get back to that
Damn this strategy is actually popular
I remember when I was younger my mom would say “you can’t have your dinner unless you’ve shown me all the homework or studying you’ve done” to build a good study habit and it really did
Ya I study for a good hour and take a good 10-15 minute guitar break, it’s funny cause it helps me learn plus I’m getting a lot better at playing guitar lol
So instant gratification?
0:59 Study effectively and efficiently with consuming less hours
1:47 the thoughts holding you back
2:08 less is more
2:08 deep work
3:02 80-20 rule (pareto principle)

These are great tips. I will for sure be doing them . One thing I like to add is I also keep a "mistake" notebook . I write everything I got wrong in my exams or the past papers down so I don't repeat them
Thats really smart! I might try that. 💖
💞
My teachers also asked me to maintain a mistake notebook.... But I'm really confused... Like... What am I supposed to write in that? What's the pattern to write stuff in it?
@@Pingpingpingbambam just by making bullet points of the mistakes..or rather writing a sample question followed by the mistake you do( as well as the correct way to do it in a different pen colour preferably). What this will do automatically is that every single time you come across such a question in the exam, that mistake will be the first thing that comes to mind and you will be sure to avoid it.
It does not really have a pattern persay. just write them however you want and just be sure to constantly revisit and recall them and fully classify the book as your mistake notebook and that you will never repeat whatever mistake that you write in that book
I'm curious, but how would you apply this? Idk about you guys but for us, after we finish an exam on x topic, we move on to the next one and never touch it again (except for finals lol)....
I find that this works more for STEM students, like doing questions and stuff, but for humanities students, you have to spend lots of time reading and applying what you read through writing and assignments. It's unavoidable. I have never stayed up all night studying for a chemistry test, because I can just solve the practice questions and tests over and over again. And once you can solve the most difficult questions in the textbook, you are ready for the test. But the only all-nighters I've ever pulled were for English class. Writing an essay takes time, even if you do not notice the time. First you have to understand the subject. Then you have to formulate new and profound thoughts on that learned info. Then you have to articulate it in writing in order to apply your thoughts well so that the teacher can judge your knowledge. That's a solid B. But a solid A...well that's hard. You have to go above and beyond and really connect the readings to your own thoughts, and maybe even the world. And you have to do it well and convincingly and ope- it's 6am and you studied for 12 hours straight by accident.
that was such a good summation but, tbh, not relatable. im planning to take humanities with so much pressure to take science and i think as my country has english as a second language, the standards over that subjects are much lower. in rural areas, just being able to say "i am a boy" in english is a subject of awe. maybe thats why getting almost 100% in english is easier for fluent/semi-fluent students. but reading your comment makes me much more apprehensive about my command over english...if i were to move abroad in the future, (which i most probably will), then would that be a herculean task? would english, my best subject, potentially become my worst due to higher standards in english-speaking countries...?
You literally just described social science .
@@side5029 I'm from Canada, and English is not easy here, its all about organizing your words in a way that conveys what you know and convinces the reader your point. Writing is meant to be beautiful. Honestly I did take my fair share of STEM classes in grade 11 (chem, physics, functions, programming). And the science and math classes were indeed very difficult, even more difficult than the humanities. I was doing awful in them, but my problem back then was that I kept making notes (which is useless). But when I got a tutor my grades turned out fine and the courses were a lot easier, because it's just your ability to understand complex theories and functions of science and math. But I never needed to spend more than 3 hours per day on my STEM subjects. Because once you understood the unit and how to solve the difficult questions, you're set for the tests and exams.
Humanities requires you to think critically and beyond the scope of what you are given. I'm going into law so in grade 12 I dropped all my STEM classes and took philosophy, social studies, history, law, etc. Reading is very time consuming but it must be done. Planning your essay, writing your answer, thinking, these things are more time consuming than they sound. So while the "minimal time deep thinking" technique shown in the video may work for STEM classes, they do not work for humanities. I remember doing a philosophy assignment on the matrix and it took me a whole 2 days to answer 9 questions about the movie. (A bunch of kids got in trouble with that assignment because they used ChatGPT to answer them, which is why you should always keep your written outline and thinking before you type it up).
To answer your question about studying abroad, I'm also going abroad for Law School in Scotland and I'm kind of scared because they take the arts and humanities a lot more seriously. Honestly, your essay writing MUST be excellent if you want to study humanities in an English speaking country. Read as many of the classics as you can, it'll save you a lot of trouble.
@@evoid.3949 Yeah bro, studying social science has a different method than studying for STEM.
Something that help me past with an A for my humanities classes is to
1:Don't try to edit and create at the same time, when trying to be a perfectionist, it's really difficult to generate ideas. Instead just try to get the word count down and then revise. However, this skill will take some time to build up.
2:Try to write when you have the most energy and have clear goals.
3:Imo, reading the texts are inevitable, but you can maximize your 1st reading sessions. I like to generate essay prompt questions for the readings and then answer them in 2-3 paragraphs, this is simply my ideas rather than trying sound professional. It'll help you prepare for exam prompts your professor may give to you.
I just turned 40 and learned more from this kid than from most of the self-help things I've consumed for decades. You're awesome.

@@nassimaessamet1786 pov scara studying for the akademiya
how studied for 2hr on my physics test and guess what i got a 54% first quiz of the year but it got curved since everyone failed
1. Read the theory, underline words or lines that define the whole paragraph
2. Solve the previous year questions topic wise and mark the the tricky or time taking ones (also see how a teacher solves those questions)
3. Cut out distractions if possible or like he said, delay them
4. Don't make time tables(not very effective), set goals for each week and divide it as each day's task. Keep 1 or 2 days for revision( quickly go through those underlined words and topics in your textbook and solve the marked questions )
5. Set feasible goals
6. At the end of the month take a collective assessment

i was always a 95-100% student during all of my school years. I did not study excessively , the key was to understand as much as I could during the lesson and be punctual. When I got home I always did my homework and had also plenty of time to spend on other activities.

@@abrahamlunchtime5421how you study maths ??
As an Indian who has qualified some of the toughest entrance exams and even failed in some school practice tests, my only recommendation is to STUDY.
Most of the times, we over-assume studying and focus on making it aesthetic, but the reality is to sit with your books, pen and paper and just study for terms. And while studying, write them down just after going through a part. And revise constantly.
Do you have any recommendations on learning something by heart ? We have to learn 300 pages of history exactly word by word
@@Annamaidd The exact way to do so / The exact answer to your question, lies in the second para of my main comment. ~ " Sit with your books, pen and paper and immediately write after learning / memorising a particular part (the length of which depends upon your comfort). Write what you memorized. Then after around a week or two, REVISE what you learned.
I used to follow the exact procedure since my class 1 / age=6. My mother taught it to me. At the age of 18 now, I can say, it's the only way to crack any exam. Just blindly do it. Learn, Write, Revise. It may be lengthy as a process but it's effectiveness is beyond measurable.
@@ArrytroLovesMangoesthank you for sharing your method
I really like how you also mentioned your failures. many people have this assumption that all these successful students have an innate predisposition to study and that even if they dont study, they will still get good grades.this kind of mindset bars a lot of students to work hard and demotivates them when the reality is that successful people are hardworkers and smartworkers.
@@ArrytroLovesMangoes thank you very much for helping ❤
During my last semester, I been going through some rough times on getting myself less distracted and I sometimes get jealous on the people that are smarter at my college but thanks to this video I finally wanted to improve on my knowledge and work ahead on my goals on being an environmental scientist. Thank you Mendos anonymous hack for making this video because that will help improve my work-life balance in the future
The very first thing I’m doing before studying or revising anything is to write down all the topics and then get 3 colours and mark the topics I already am familiar with, the ones I don’t fully understand and the ones I don’t understand at all. That takes only a few minutes and is so practical for having a good overview of everything and later for efficiently using your precious study time. Now when I start studying I first study the topics I don’t understand at all. My red flag is that I just love having a summary of all topics on one page. That’s why I always write my summary around a week before the test/exam, BUT it is so important to really just write a SUMMARY and not all the little details. I always do that on my computer because 1. I have more space on one page and 2. It’s just so much faster and easier. I love having my own summary for revising everything in a quick way (for example before sleeping or right before the test/exam). When I have prioritised my topics and wrote my summary (this takes me around 30-45 minutes) I’m gonna study all topics by using different study techniques that work best for me (I think it’s really personal which study techniques are working for you).
I really liked this video and just wanted to share my study habits! Please always remember to put your mental health first and don’t feel pressured to be this perfect student, because literally nobody is perfect! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

one of the best videos about studying i've ever seen. tackled all main points, providing claims and examples, beautiful. wish you all the best irl.
Honestly i usually just get home and start noting what I remember from todays math class (example), then I highlight everything I didn't remember/know. So everry time before an exam I take a look at what I consistently didn't know and try to understand the topic. Got my grades up in math and German within a few months
Really some good advice. I never struggled as much with working efficiently since I found ways I can study in less time pretty early on and I also set precise goals for myself. My problems are that I get distracted easily, am unmotivated and can't discipline myself to actually stay focused for longer periods of time. So although I am very productive when I work, I procrastinate way too much, which leads to having less time left, which stresses me out and makes me even less willing go go study. It's also nice to hear someone acknowledge that leaving all distractions behind isn't something you can just do and it takes time to get used to and pull through. Thanks a lot :)

yeah for me the whole comparing how many hours you study thing that was pushed out in asia was what was confusing to me and led me to make the video. im glad you liked it:)
Hahahhaa really? Society is still stuck on something silly like that?
It’s always important to believe yourself innovate and see your results, and for that you have to say yes yes but I won’t be treating it like a bible to what others tell you. But still idk studying seems like something that it should progress in much faster than that imo 😂
I guess others want you to reach your potential? But.. what abojt the potential of living a happy life? Is that not important? Is it bc we’re too happy and excited about the new world we’re living in? And we think being a student is the time to build your foundation forever? Hmm I see I see… you do gotta remember that students will have more motivation and power to build a good foundation for their future if they are happy and living well rather than completely sacrificing their years like a slave for it.. but I guess that’s a concept people have to explore a bit in order to realize. I guess it’s everyone’s personal choice and I’d like to see everyone’s new innovations.. rather than I’d like to criticize those who seem reckless based on my own clueless ideas 😂

Ik that ppl look towards us cuz how our countries are portrayed (which ngl is quite accurate) but this approach is honestly the best. Take care and good luck in school!
I have a afro-asian that didnt have anything lower than a A and I was inspired by him while the others were shaming him behind hus back just like you described in the intro, and I'm pretty good academically the only thing that set me below him was athletics, and I wanted to be just like him bc I like to work with ppl not against, and I figured out the only thing I didn't do in this video was the regular daily study, I only studied for the test a night before and I did well most of the part, So thank you for these tips and I hope that everybody can succeed at their academics and please their parents 😊❤
4 years of my time watching this types of videos, this was the ONLY ONES which changed my perspective and academic life, tnx dude
Everything you said is true. I'm a med student and I started off solely making pretty notes on my ipad, and I look back on them now and i don't remember jack shit. As soon as I gained access to question banks, ditched the need to have perfect notes, I started seeing the results. I use note taking for more consolidation; to compare similar and different things (because that's what's tested). I am still trying to overcome that more hours=more knowledge and it is a somewhat hard pill to swallow. What I've learnt that how many hours of deep work that allows you to grasp content is worth way more than idly sitting at a desk and only ever taking a breath when having to eat/shower. I feel like that not putting much pressure on yourself opens up the gates of your mind more lol. Wonderful tips and i love the concept of deep work. i am on a journey to fully maximizing on that concept, because it really is the key.
TH-cam recommended me this video and I just clicked it cuz I have a bio exam the day after tomorrow. I almost wasted the whole day chillin today.
The type of students he described (makes notes and thinks they're studying tons, flips through textbooks and not really study the main topics) is totally me. I always procrastinate and even tho I take more time to study than anyone I've known, I end up studying faster than anyone right the last minute.

I've already graduated and am moving into a MBA program, but I highly recommend delaying your distractions, as this is a key point to how to become successful in your studies. Both my parents (Singapore and Chinese) always used this method of forcing me to study 1-2 hours, then allow me to spend my time freely until later at night when we do a quick review. This is very efficient and for parents, this is a great way of parenting that will help more to guiding your kid while they will eventually learn to appreciate the effort you have put in.
The way you guys just remain humble & move behind the recommendation is how more people should move. You Mendos anonymous hack on the internet deserve it all! This Helps people see how much of an angel cognitive notch is. I'm proud of you man. The Main reason you inspire me to help people.

As an asian who has to go to study classes because of my parents and gets sent to tutoring each day for 3 hours after school, then having to go home and study more. I can say that that stuff does not work. Do what works for you, find ways like this video. I use the 80 by 20 rule and it works really well. I will start using the Minecraft background music too.

this is a great video!! i hope you continue doing well in school 😊

As someone who struggled as hell with organisation, procrastination and all messed up things a good student should avoid, I'd been obsessed watching all this study techniques on TH-cam and Internet.
I got super overwhelmed, none of these worked for me and my anxiety started crawling to my head. "I need to find the perfect method and schedule" I used to say-...
And sometimes the best studying method is so simple as paying attention in class and asking questions. Understanding what ur being teached is the key. Furthermore, having a keen interest on the topic and searching doubts on TH-cam or internet overall, has helped me alot.
I like taking effective notes, like writing the date and topic, also doing like a little scheme with brief explanation of what we are talking, while writing at a side vocabulary that idk. With a basic scheme, at home, I can highlight those things that I kinda struggle and search up the info that I don't understand. After that it's just about accumulating notes till you have a nice lil book to study and revise for the exams.
I advice revising everyday what u had done yest. 5 mins or so, using the question method in ur head. So when the exam it's close, you already know pretty much everything and you only need to revise a little bit.😊
In subjects that revolves around problem solving it doesn't work ofc, those I highly recommend practicing everyday with exams that other students may have posted on the internet or problems that might equal to the level of the exam's.
Even tho, I really suggest finding ur self-made methods that adjusts to ur conditions and necessities.🙃
I relate a lot to what you wrote. I never really struggled with working efficiently but starting to work at all. I also take a lot of notes in classes etc. and know how I need to study but I really struggle with maths even though I know I need to solve a lot of problems since learning the theory doesn't help. But I really hate it and never do.
All those study videos are promoting just doing better and getting over it, but it's really not that easy to discipline yourself like that.
And in the end, you're right, you need to find what works for you and sadly others can suggest options but you somehow have to figure it out on your own.
I hope everyone figures it out (sooner rather than later, including me)
less is more i always try to keep tidy with my study environment😢😢😢

Thank you for all the great insights, brother. I will apply this into my studies for sure. 🖤🖤
Thank you for this. I always feel like I'm never studying enough and I feel guilty when I get distracted and annoyed because of all the studying. I now feel more motivated to try and focus deeply :) It isn't going to be easy but I know how to start now!

80/20 is amazing principle, it applies literally every area of life. Just pick the fundamentals/most important tasks that move you towards desired goal/outcome and max them out...
If you can, Monk Mode/Dopamine Detox while preparing for exam is probably best choice to make... cut out all the distractions, and only do productive stuff (when you get tired, instead of scrolling or playing vidya, read some book, or watch high value podcast about specific topic you'll be able to implement info in)
Great vid.
Yea your right, thkse things you dont understand will comeback soon or late
Or never and you will get it harder at school,etc
A technique I found myself is that I try to remember the guilt and emptiness of indulging in social media and entertainment without having studied enough whenever I go to do those things. This makes me more inclined to do the work as my mind now associates procrastination with sadness and guilt.
maybe you can seek help from some apps like：forest？i think it is useful😢😢😢
I love how you "appreciate" the differences in what may or may not work for others
It took me 30 minutes to watch this video because I kept having to think to myself. I’ve typed 2 other comments as well. Why am I like this
I'm going into yr12 now and i feel like this vid is so helpful fr! thank you for making such an informative but quick and precise vid for us who especially just finished gcses and aren't used to revising all the time cuz we wait for like the month before. consistence is key,, 2hrs a day can be of great help!!!❤❤
I feel like a lot of people (particularly beginners) are super eager to participate in the rat race of getting more hours under their study routine.
A lot of people often assume that i study a shit ton lot and am just lying when i tell them that i actually study way less than i probably should 😅 but it is true.
Although i am kind of trying to get into studying for longer hours to built a stronger daily revesion routine
Super helpful video btw :) thank you!!
this is exactly what my Asian parents tell me every day, this video is a better version of their explanation and it helped a lot, thank you!! I will use this technique in my midterms starting next week!!
Hidden Time Wealth is so unique. I can’t believe I hadn’t heard about it sooner. It’s amazing how life-changing this can be for anyone battling procrastination.
I'm watching this a day before my exams, this video is a gem with actual non-basic study tips!
"asian secret" is crazy
school starts in a week for me so ill be using these tips as well as some that have worked in the past for me 🔥 rlly good vid you earned yourself a sub 🙏🙏
I remember how I'd used to set these type of goals and would study extra hard. A year later I can see how my school performance isn't the best, so these three tips seem pretty helpful. Wish me luck on my progress!
The concept of Hidden Time Wealth blew my mind. It’s like finding a cheat code for productivity and defeating procrastination.
thank you for sharing your thoughts on this matter and giving us such great advices about studying!! This year as a student i have also dealt with a lot of distractions such as netflix, youtube etc, so your video was really helpful. Keep it up!!
My advice is that if u take notes for the sake of taking notes, don’t do it because it’s a waste of time. Just read the textbooks and try to understand it instead of memorizing. 80% of the stuff taught can be remembered by just understanding it (not the case for labeling stuff though)
Another good tip is to go to college for something you actually enjoy. I'm an absolute nerd for zoology and geology. I dropped out of school in 6th grade so I could spend all of my time studying. It is like a hobby to me, I don't see it as work. I actually enjoy sitting down and spending 8 hours every single day learning about tarantulas and rocks. It is very interesting to me and I love talking about it. I take notes in google docs and I write essays for fun. I know no one will ever see them, but I still continue to write essays. It helps me retain knowledge. I also spend a lot of time talking about zoology and geology with my friends. It makes me happy. I start college in January and I am so damn excited. I can't wait to learn more! Zoology doesn't make a lot of money so that degree will just be a fun project for me. Geology makes quite a bit of money so that will be my job. I can't wait to explore the world and look at rocks. I absolutely LOVE rocks.
Also, a good way to learn is to take practice tests for exams and for the specific area you are studying in. For example: if you are learning about aquatic animals, take tests about them. The more tests, the better. You will learn a lot more by taking tests. I did not study for the HISET, the college accuplacer, or the written portion of the driving test you do before you get a driving permit. I did practice tests instead and the majority of the questions are on the actual test. I did the tests once a day for 2 days, then every other day. The day before the tests I did them again. I've found that you have to kinda let the words marinate in your head. If you continue to do the same test over and over again you won't learn anything, you will just memorize the answers. If you take some time in between them and completely forget about it, then next time you take the test you will remember some of the answers. Every single question from the practice HISET and accuplacer tests were on the actual test by the way. The majority of the practice test questions for the driving test are on there too. You will have a higher chance of getting a higher score since you know you will get at least 5 or 10 questions right depending on the length of the practice test and the actual test.
college is gonna kick your ass if you haven't been to school since 6th grade. good luck man
@@13lack_Rose Nopers! I've spent over 8 hours a day studying on my own time. I achieved the HISET which is harder than getting a highschool diploma. I have college ready scores and I've already started studying for college and taking practice tests. It's actually very easy! :D
Short vid, no useless words, Straight to the point Thanks a lot its really a good tips.
This is what I need rn ,thanks brother
the way he speaks is so satisfying
06:30 is what I call delayed reward. It is much more satisfying getting to watch that episode or that to fight that final boss once you've completed your deep work session
Honestly, as a possibly neurodivergent Student, this is the first video on studying that seems, well, realistic. Even in my standards with my difficulties in learning, will definitely give this a go as the school year starts
I come home from school, eat lunch, study from 3:45-9:00Pm everyday😭😭this video helped so much. Imma start changing from tmr
TH-cam knew i needed help but i was skipping on this vid for the last two months.
I really appreciate your hard work , Thank you for taking the time to upload a video like this its really helpful.
I'm entering my 3rd year in uni, I get good grades but I definitely felt like I could do better overall. I'm looking to be more consistent and make studying every day fun and interesting while also trying to learn other things and being in touch with my hobbies. Great video!!
beautiful video and keep in mind your doing what I consider hard to do …. oral presentation without looking at your script ( atleast i hope you aren’t ;) ) anyways that’s all from me i’m going to prepare myself for my exams in term three .
"We tell ourselves stories in order to live." You could twist it to say, “Some just retell others’ stories to avoid living.”

Watch his latest video and you'll understand the full story.
-Practice questions.
-Distance yourself from distractions.
-Be precise, set goals for yourself BEFOREHAND. You will be like a guided missile ready to DECIMATE your target.
The way Hidden Time Wealth dives into the concept of productivity is mind-blowing. Hidden Time Wealth tips are pure gold, and I wish more people knew about them.
Omg the “learning how to lucid dream so you can study more while you sleep” 😂 I have literally thought this.
This was so helpful!! Thank you so much! I'm gonna try so hard now cos ive only got this year left for my gcse's 😭
I feel like I either have the inability to stay focused or ADHD. I so easily get distracted by many things; a fly passing by, a squeak made by a chair, rustling of papers, you name it.
Imo it's neither ADHD nor inability to stay focused that is keeping you from focusing but (if i am guessing it right)
you are not even interested in the study material.But that's not your fault , textbooks ARE boring😢 BUT you can do something about it,like learning the how and why of things , applications of formulas ,imagining scenarios and creating stories instead of cramming...as long as you develop that close relation with your subjects, will you start to enjoy and excel at studies...Stay motivated❤❤ and remember ,nothing is wrong with you but the way you are DOING stuff can be ineffective
@@AinaShauriyaour views match❤️
honestly same, even my own mind distracts me.
or maybe not adhd but the cptsd😢 really happen on me😢😢😢
@@sulerf SAME. My CPTSD has made me so slow.. no social skills.. I don't know how to think anyone. I hope we can both heal 😊❤
Okay hands down this is the best study advice so far. I realized I've been doing every wrong things that he said. Making notes on everything for hours and hours but none of them come to my brain. I'll binge do the past questions from now on.
Self discipline is the best way to cut distractions ❤

Thank you so much for those great study tips! Actually, I've been implementing a couple of those tips into my studying sessions and they indeed have great results! Keep up the great work man.
And here I was thinking "teenagers these days are sooooo distracted" Funny I have to learn the best secret to passing my exams from a teenager. Another Jim Kwik. Thank you my friend.This was a real eye opener.
Something that I like to do is practice the questions that will count the most, then understand before you memorise the terminology afterwards.
Nice job you clarified a lot of ways that I really struggled with I appreciate your rationalization
The tips r really helpful and I just realized I’ve been doing them subconsciously all year well yay it worked
Watching this instead of getting the homework done 🔥🔥
Unironically tho I watched a video of yours a while ago but damn this is actually good content keep it up Fr
aa thankss get your homework done asw though:')
It’s due Friday I can wait till Wednesday…. @@jspark8
Still Bro unironically this is super cool keep up the content
Might randomly appear in your comments every once and a while 👍👍 @@jspark8
Alright y’all I ma be dead honest I am an Indian and I am no gifted student however I ace all my exams because of my clear passion… success will ALWAYS derive from passion so me personally I don’t believe in bs that these so called “organized” TH-cam students have to say about ohhhh “you should study 2 hrs a day everyday” or ohh “you need to get 8hrs of sleep” NO it’s all about passion if you have the passion for something no matter how tired you are no matter how dead inside you are you will succeed and that’s my message to you guys “Follow your dreams and passion” not some bs on the internet
Unfortunately a lot of us are stuck doing something we are not passionate about because we just haven’t found it. But I agree, I cannot bring myself to study sometimes because it’s so boring to me 😢
Only when starting teaching myself I realised that sooo many students actually have no clue about basic learning skills or how to be efficient when reading/memorising! I believe it should be taught at school, and it must align with the exam system too.. Thank you for the great video!
Hi, im taking 8 classes, one is a college credit class, i have a learning disability and i also have bad habits and bad time management, thank you so much for this. You are gonna help me get through school and into my dream college and get my dream job

If you ever need help with your assignments hit me up
@@Shy-drama appreciate it man 👍
I think I've been doing this by mistake all year and it improved a lot of my marks drastically✅it's reassuring to know that I'm not just basing my results on whether I'm lucky enough to remember but on an actually effective manner of studying
Why your not famous ?? Thanks for those game changing tips this will help me a lot 🎉 congrats for gaining a sub 😄
Glad I could help
Thanks for the reply
Yep, thats no games for me anymore
Hey. Thank you. Ive been avoiding, and even skipping school. Ive always thought that if I missed one assignment, or failed one test, I would fail the next one. This video is what I needed to boost my confidence in getting schoolwork done. Thank you.
Hey, I'm a university student I do electrical engineering. I had to relearn how to study because college was beating my ass during the first semester. Only now, I've started to abandon the idea of copying everything and I started focusing 100% on past exams, and it really makes a difference. I agree 100% with your video, especially the part about setting a goal to learn in a small amount of time. Another important tip is to study every day, even when you feel super tired. That way, after a few months, studying calculus 2 just becomes an everyday thing.
This is like the best vid ive ever seen
why thank you:)
I remember during my mock exams, I would overhear my classmates saying how they went through 10 past papers last night but they got the lowest mark and I would be there with the knowledge of half a past paper and some videos and the hope in my heart that my memory won't fail me and a wish in my head that 'those' topics won't come
