Hi, there! I would like to request a copy of sample manual and complete 45 inkblot cards of HOLTZMAN INKBLOT TEST. This will be mainly used for academic purposes. It will be a great help for my assigned topic discussion in Projective techniques class 🙏
Thank you in advance! ☺️
Currently summarizing major points for 16 chs (orgo ii). Wondering how y'all would use this gift lol
Hello everyone!
I'm a HS student that's not the smartest... So I have to balance it out by working much more than others...
I used to have a hard time studying and would waste my time playing video games or whatnot, procrastinating and leaving my work for the last minute.
As a New Year resolution, I decided to lock in and I made my own notion dashboard that would gamify building habits, making my routine much more productive and healthy. It also made it super easy to integrate into my life!
Basically, this template gives points the more you complete your task and the bigger your streak, and then these points can be used to level up a cute character, I'm thinking of gamifying even more for later! (buying stuff, rpg vibe a bit)

Do share some feedback if you can!!
I'm trying to build a deck for my biochemistry course and I'm feeling overwhelmed. I was using a site called Brainscape, but I’m not sure I’m doing it right. Does anyone have any tips or tricks for creating really effective flashcards for difficult topics?
#1 Brainstorm first. Don't focus on grammar and sentence structure. Just write down all ideas you have.
#2 Your thesis statement should be clear. It's a summary of your main argument. Remember about it while writing.
#3 An outline is obligatory. It helps organize your structure.
#4 Avoid repetitions. Don't repeat information. You can just conclude it in the last paragraph. But also don't add new information in the conclusion.
#5 Use reliable references. Always double-check them for credibility. Even if you use services like Google Scholar or Textero, check references. Pay attention to their formatting.
#6 Use a strong hook in the introductory part. It can be an anecdote or a quote. I like thought-provoking questions most of all.
#7 Transition words always help to improve the flow. But there are more words than "moreover" and "however"
#8 No passive voice. Use active voice for a stronger and more engaging writing style.
Hi everyone, I've been using this app for over a year and have been using the premium version for the past month. I'd say it'd arguably be the best app to date for notetaking. It feels like a hybrid of the best aspects of notetaking on Notion and spaced repetition of Anki, where you can quickly make flash cards AS YOU write your code.
This is my referral code/ referral link for Remnote. enjoy 1 month free trial and please let me know how you find it :)
I'm currently finishing up an intro to stats course and we are allowed 1 page with formulas and notes for the final. Any thoughts on what I put together and can add to the leftover space on side 2?
Firstly, I know that I am the issue. Laziness, compliance, feeling lost and overthinking led to my downfall. If you were someone who’s been consistently working hard or just working in someway to make progress, that goes a lot further than you think it does. I’ve messed up my Uni project entirely for course similar to an independent study and I think I’ve completely broken relationships with my academic supervisor, my work supervisor and my career supervisor. This is a pretty big thing that I don’t know if I’ll recover from. I really just bit off more than I could chew and failed to ask for help during crucial times. All parties were gracious and more than understanding and I think I took advantage of that too much. Now I only have two choices withdrawing from the course or failure. Don’t try to be like other people don’t try and mess around and find out, finding out hurts cause it hurts. Not just your pride, but your academics and work relationships.
Stay focussed and try new things that feel within reach. If you are questioning yourself rn, if now’s the time to focus, it is. Really do, even if all feels against you. 5mins, 30mins of something a day is something.
Best of luck to all students. But not me.
I'm trying to memorise 2 lectures a day. Each lecture is 1 hr long more or less and I need to memorise so many processes and molecules etc. Plsss help has anyone done this? Ps I work too so I only have about 7 hrs per day to revise excluding the weekends.
Hi everyone I’m collecting data for a statistics project on how many hours college students study a week. If I could get any responses that would be appreciated.
I study for exams weeks ahead, revise, test myself and i know everything perfectly. However, even after doing all of this, i never get 100% on tests. i always miss point or two, sometimes even 5. We have both types of tests, the one in which you have to mark true answers with +, and false answers with -, and other one in which you get few questions and you have to write out everything you remember. I always think i do excellent on the second type of tests, i check after test if i had everything right and i did, but i still didn't get full points.The first type is even worse to me, the questions just seem so confusing and while i think about answers, everything mixes up in my head. I have no idea what i'm doing wrong and if it's even me that's wrong. Maybe i can't retain some details as well as other informations and that's holding me back, but i don't know. I study law so everything is about memorising. Do you have any advice? :(

In this course of two years(16months) I've studied materials from my course in a very sorted way and have given exams on parts of the syllabus. Now the thing is, it's about time I take exams on the whole syllabus but I hateee to revise older stuff. It just create a sense that "I have already studied that, what's the point" well the point is that it'll be freshly planted in my brain once I revise it and hence a better exam Performance. But I just can not get myself to re-read old stuff
Another thing is when I am reviewing anything, I know it's better to read the highlighted and important stuff rather than the entire thing once again but as a perfectionist I just feel that there is some sort of GAP if I do not re-read the entire thing again. But that'll consume a lot of time.
As a student I know it's best if I practice questions instead of revising theories but there is another problem; practicing questions take a lot of time and as someone with short attention spam I cannot get myself to send so much time on a particular subject it make me feel like I'm running out of time and I won't be able to really spend time on all my subjects included.
There is so much to study right now that I am sipping on my coffee as I write this, hoping that someone will introduce me to such an amazing way to get rid of this laziness on re-reading and practicing questions.
I was reviewing my learning progress so far this month and I found an important factor that's hindering my progress.
I really get stuck while studying a lot. And I think it's a good thing as it means I encountered something new.
For example:
I am learning about DNS and getting stuck on implementing the various types of name servers. I've read most of the things about DNS found in textbooks. I think my concept is clear about DNS, but I am unable to implement them in Linux server(not code them, just setup them).
I've completed the setup via https://fedoramagazine.org/how-to-setup-a-dns-server-with-bind/ tutorials like this which tells me how to do it. Also read parts of books like Evi Nemeth's unix and linux sysadmin handbook, TCPIP network administrators guide, Pro DNS and BIND 10. But I still feel I don't really "made it to stick".
How do I test/verify if I learnt something when I am learning something in a non-academic scenario, and not doing it for my current job? (Example: I learnt by exercises on textbooks while learning for university exams)
How do I define to which "depth" to learn a topic? Or how do I set a boundary while learning?
How to determine the optimum interleaving of subjects? I am a kind of a person who learns better by switching between different subjects(say computer networks, algorithms and database). But how many subjects switching is optimum? Has there been any research about it?
Any studying tip for fast information retention?? I have an exam this Thursday and don't know how to finish all things in time. I have to cover 2 more topics one of which is made up of 16 short lessons. I feel like I am going to pull at my hair from anxiety please help me! How do I get it all done in time?
As I student, I know the struggles to build an effective and healthy routine. Yet, we all know that building habits, making them normal in your daily life is what brings results and good grades!
So I decided to make a Notion template that joins my passion of gaming with studying! In my notion template you can create a habit, and this Notion template helps you maintain these habits to incorporate into your daily lifestyle with no effort. You also get points by completing your habits and you can level up a cute avatar you have!
I'm sharing this template for FREE and would love to have your feedback on it!
Here is my instagram account with the link to my template in bio:

If you can drop a follow to be updated with my changes as I'm working to make this template better would be greatly appreciated!

So in my country we have these exams at university at the end of each degree that cover all classes you took over the past 3/4 years. I study landscape architecture and I have this exam in 2 weeks.
The exam is always oral with three topics (each topic has around 70 subtopics so it’s around 200 topics in total). At the exam I draw three subtopics (each from one topic) and have 15 minutes for preparation and then 15 minutes to answer.
Because I’ve been studying while doing my thesis which is very time consuming, I haven’t had much time to focus.
The question is, how to study now to maximise the effectiveness. The study material is about 500 pages and I just finished reading and highlighting through all of it. Because it’s a huge amount of information, I don’t think I remember much yet. I was thinking about writing few key words to each subtopic that way I can recall at least something if I draw a harder subtopic at the exam…
My biggest fear is that I draw those 3 subtopics and I won’t be able to recall anything. I can talk about certain subtopics once I glance at my notes but I have a hard time recalling without it.
Any tips on remembering a lot of material would be appreciated. This is the biggest exam I’ve ever had to taken with very little time. I’ve never been studying by “methods”, usually just reading through my notes and repeating it out loud but that’s it.
how to study on the weekend ⬇️ 📚
This way, you let your mind and body get into the mood for being productive (like during the work week) and you ensure that you have enough time in the day for both relaxation and studying.
For example, your goals may be to make study sheets, finish your quizlets, and review your personal statement. Being specific and realistic helps guide your studying.
Don’t feel pressure to do it all in one sitting. The advantage of the weekend is more free time, so spend your day alternating between fun activities and rest and bursts of studying, such as one hour blocks.
Search “study with me” on YouTube and pick the video you think suits your goals. Make your goal to complete the video if nothing else (it will help you stay focused too!)
If spacing out studying doesn’t work, try pumping out a couple hours of work first thing in the morning. That way once you’re done you have all the free time you want & a reward!
