    Hey Ray , if possible could you please do a video on how to maintain productivity ... because I am the type of person who studies 6 hours one day and 0 hours the other day 😖....how can we maintain the flow and be consistent in our studies ?
    Btw , love your videos

      Some days are always gonna suck. Try to have at least some basic achievement on your TODO list, so that you achieve something every day (except designated rest days) while preparing for your exams. Realise when you aren't working effectively, and take a break, because forcing yourself too hard to work will tire you out mentally and decrease productivity overall, even on future days. Think of which parts of working you enjoy the most (subjects, topics, methods), and do those on days where it's more difficult. Try out a new style of working, such as working with a partner, or swapping from studying your notes to practising questions.

    Thank you v much man, I've only started doing a-level maths this week after dropping geo. And I already found it tricky cause I was quite late in for the year. But when you said not to procrastinate on difficult topics, I realized how much I do that. Since this week I have tried to do practice questions on Problem solving and Surds and Indices which helped me a lot. TL Maths was very useful as well. Anyways great video Ray.

    Do you think its important to have a set schedule for doing practice questions throughout the year, or do you think its possible to just get away with just doing homework/classwork then doing past papers later on? Ive been havin trouble finding good topic questions for my specification (CIE) online

    • @ster2600
      @ster2600 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It really depends how busy you are going to be in the approach to exams, how much practice your teachers give you during the year etc. You need to have done 3-5 questions on every topic, and *at least* 3 full past paper practices under exam conditions in order to achieve your best.
