This is going to sound SO whiny but I did an exam today and I walked out feeling horrible. I did everything I could to prepare for it, I studied for ages beforehand, I knew all the content and I do really well in the subject and it's my favourite so I thought I had it down. Literally everyone I was talking to, my teacher, friends, parents, thought that I'd do great because I was so confident about it.
Everyone I talked to said they found it really good and easy and it makes it so much worse. Usually, I can get over this stuff pretty easily because I can accept it was hard, but this one wasn't hard so I don't know what happened. I understood everything it was asking but I was writing the answers so poorly. I'm so mad about it. It was my last chance to show what I knew about the subject and I blew it.
I still have 3 more exams coming up in the next 2 weeks but they're all subjects I struggle a lot in.
I've just lost all my motivation because this exam was supposed to be my strongest and I was really relying on it to carry up the rest of my scores so I can do well overall.
I know I have to suck it up and study for the rest of my exams because if I don't I won't be getting into University. But I just have no motivation. I know that because of this exam today that my final mark won't get me into my top Uni choice and because I'm actually so hopeless in these next subjects I just can't even imagine being able to pull myself up.
I spent all of the rest of the day just lying around, I didn't even want to think about anything at all because it made me cry. So please please give me some tips to get over this and start studying again. I don't want to spend the rest of my time just moping around and then regret it later.
Around the same time each school year I find it extremely hard to study, like i physically can’t do it even if i was amazing and unstoppable just a month ago. I don’t know what’s going on with me just pleaaaseeee help
Hey there! Have you heard of https://envision.study/ y? It’s an amazing tool where you can upload your science notes, and it’ll create a full, structured course for you. You can start from scratch and work your way up to mastering the subject—all in just 3 easy steps! Best part? You can try it for free!
So, I’m down to my last subject for my degree, but it’s a beast. The professor expects everything memorized word for word, plus it’s loaded with both text and formulas. My approach has been to tackle one question a day—I listen to the prof’s lectures and create my own notes.
But here’s the kicker: every time I go back to review, it feels like I'm seeing the material for the first time. It just doesn’t stick. Also, I’m a really slow learner, and it’s making things feel impossible.
Does anyone have advice on how to speed up my learning process or maybe retain info better? I feel like I'm going in circles here.
Has anybody heard about the 4 a.m. study method? It’s when you wake up at 4 a.m. to study, taking advantage of the quiet and focus that comes with early mornings. Has anyone here tried it, and if so, how did it work for you?

So which program could this be exactly? It has the things I want but don't know what it is.
Title, honestly .
I got a 35% on a chemistry test and I don’t know what to do with myself anymore . I’ve never liked chemistry as a science honestly, but I really need this to be a computer engineer .
I don’t like chemistry but I’m willing to learn . I really am . This test was such a dud and now I don’t know if any college will accept me . I have until the end of January to get my mark up .
I’m so behind in chemistry though, I keep missing tests and assignments because of attendance issues ( transportation and illness ) . I’m stressing so much right now . I was doing so well at the start of the year but now it’s all garbage . I’m panicking so much hahahahahahahaha kill me any advice is welcome .
My teacher does not do extra credit .
How to study 8-9 hours a day 📚⬇️
You enrolled into university and you should respect yourself to not drop out when harder periods come. Think only one day at a time and be happy for every single day you manage to study.
Unless it's something due that day, you should study more classes at the same time. It's not the best option to be on the top of the class in one course, and in the bottom for another.
You can't really pull all day studying while on coffees and barely holding your eyes open.
Make a study plan and know what you need to do for a day. It'll help you stay on track and prioritize tasks.
Have a clean desk, quiet place and no distractions. Take regular breaks and other small things to keep you motivated.
All of these tips help you maintain diversity and feeling of how each study day is different.

2 weeks till 6 final exams
I got some really bad virus so I've been lying down, dying for 4 days
No studies done I'm COOOOOOKEDDDDDD
For a bit of context I've started working a 9 to 5 a few months ago and distance learning (online) university and a few weeks ago. So I'm relatively new to this. Prior to this I did my A levels and I relatively well I got 2 A's and one C. Thing this although I have been able to read through all the material (notes,videos etc) for my different modules I feel like I should be doing active recall as I want to actually to remember some things have a solid foundation. My grade will be comprised of assignments and complete marked assessments. The assignments count more towards my grade but since the completer marked assessments will be a test I won't have tje time to refer back to notes for the answers. I don't think I really developed a good way to study when I was just a student in formal education
Also it's probably worth noting that for the next semester I'm probably going to switch to the part time route as this isn't easy. I barely have any time to do anything else but as for right now I just want to see it through but any tips would be appreciated.
How would you revise? What do you recommend I do in terms of time management or being more efficient?
i am trying to get my shit together and fix my grades, they're all b's. half are low b's, half are 85+. i have 2 exams left for most classes, plus finals which are 20%. i was wondering if anyone had experience with having low grades but changing them within a month or so. i'm so demotivated to study, i don't know how to gather the effort. i pay attention in class and review the material at home, plus do additional readings, but when it comes to class exams i do very poorly. much help and advice is appreciated :(
Hi, guys can anyone help me. I used to be real good at setting time for studies and extracurriculars but that was a long time ago I was a top student at that time too. But I don't know what happend I can't remember those techniques anymore. So, if anyone could help me in how to set time for studying and extracurriculars it will be really appreciated. I have been really anxious nowadays because of it.
hey guys, when I'm watching one/two-hour long videos (without distractions) I tend to write everything down in my journal or a notebook. It helps memorize things better, but it's not too effective of a system because I then have to write those notes again on Anki or Obsidian to use space repetition. It helps me a lot, but I just find this last process a bit time consuming and don't see the point of writing things twice. So my question to you is, how can I work around this problem?
Which countries/ universities from Europe do you recommend for a PhD? As it is not my one and only focus, I don’t want to invest too much money.
HOW DO PEOPLE GET FULL WITH MINIMUM STUDY. Yesterday I kept studying for my math exam and I thought I did kinda well. "Somehow" my teacher called my mother telling her my was so bad that I may need to redo the exam. Like I know I know the content well but I never thought I would fail a math test you'k. So, does anyone know why can something happen?
