It is so boring. I spend hours formatting my notes and making sure they cover the content well using Notion. But when it comes to studying them, I find it difficult to concentrate. That was when I decided to start building https://www.quizprep.co/, which allows you to turn your notes into quizzes. Now, you can just upload your notes and do multiple-choice quizzes, and then at the end, you get a score and feedback on what to study more. Makes it fun (as fun as studying can be anyways) and you can challenge yourself to beat your previous score.

Wondering if anyone else would use a tool like this to study or am I just weird?

idk why okay so lemme explain my situation. i have always been a straight A grade but because of the last year, idk why ive lost my motivation. this months beginning i thought i was getting it back but then my mommentum broke. so i have a mock test in every 15 days or we can say once every 2 weeks. idk why but im motivated in the beginning of first week and obv the end part of the 2nd week due to pressure but in the middle of the week i loose my mommentum in some way or another. im addicted to instagram and i wanna leave it so bad. i wanna change my life really good but i am just stuck in this vicious cycle of procrastinating. how to study 9 hours a day

Yes, that's true.

My A2 started in August 2023.

I started studying.

• I was stalling shamelessly
• I was procrastinating tirelessly
• I was doom-scrolling mindlessly

And out of the blue, it was March 2024.

CAIEs in 2 months.

My whole life started reflecting in front of my eyes.

All the moments I had spent, all the feelings I had felt, all the memories I had made, seemed all like a nightmare.

My body felt as if it had surrendered in front of the executioner. And the executioner had swung the axe -- The sharp shiny blade's edge axe was touching the bone of the neck.

I had so much to do...

I had to start studying.
I had to get those A*s.
I had to push myself.

But I wasn't able to.

I had tried everything.

From efficient routines to productivity frameworks, nothing worked.

Then idk what happened but suddenly

• I started studying 12-14 hours a day
• I started feeling joyful studying
• I started focusing intensely

And in just two months, I went from a complete U to an A.

This was a miracle to pull off.

If only Allah hadn't been on my side, this couldn't have happened.

This was the time when I was studying 12-14 hours a day.

Not only was I studying these extensive hours, but my fellow study buds were also pulling off 8 hours of studying.

Many people asked me how I did this. It was complex and time-consuming to tell everyone one by one.

Thus I designed this tracker which I call the "Flow State Tracker".

This tracker:

• Provides accountability
• Monitors your progress
• Boosts your productivity
• Intensifies your flow state
• Acts as an organized diary
• Offers checkbox to-do lists
• Extends your flow state span
• Gives you a working blueprint

FREE Flow State Tracker:

1. I integrated all the methods into this tracker
2. I incorporated all the tricks into this tracker
3. I designed everything into a simple framework

This took me immense effort to make.

But I'm not going to ask you guys for money.

As I've been a student as well. I know how difficult it is to spend money as a student.

You can repay the favor by only doing the following step:
Implement the tracker and give a review so I can improve this tracker.

P.S.S. The tracker is 101% FREEE

I’ve been thinking a lot lately—kung mag memedschool kasi ako , ako yung ka una unahan sa pamilya namin if ever. Honestly, that’s both exciting and super overwhelming. I have so many “what ifs”: What if di ko kayanin? What if maibagsak ko sa sobrang hirap? Those thoughts really scare me hahahah pero i heard MCU (Manila Central University) is good good since di naman ako ganon kayaman at katalino, ayan pinaka naging option ko compared sa OLFU med. Sino mga taga MCU med dito?Magkano beakdown ng tuition fees? huhu

Assalamu alaikum guys.Iam a freshie and my final exams are next month.I wanted advice on Engineering Drawing. This is a subject that stresses me out a lot during exam because of time management and understanding. And my numbers were below average in Mids. Can anyone suggest any good ideas for help Thanks

Hey everyone, I'm an a developer and a student and I've been trying to make finals studying more fun. I built this habit tracking game where users can compete with other users based on habit completion. When a study habit is completed, you earn points and go up in the leaderboard. Similar concept to Duolingo or other games. Anways, if you are interested, download it and join the exam preparation Battle. Good luck to everyone! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=habitbattle.app

I'm preparing an exam which consist of a lot of quiz like (a/b/c/d) questions. Over the years students have collected hundreds of questions from previous exams, but we only upload it in MS Word or PDF format. Sometimes we are not even sure what is the correct answer. I would like to put it in an online or app quiz format which everyone can edit and have access to. It would be perfect if after answered question we could add an explanation and divide the subject material in chapters which follows the literature. It would be like open base. Do you have any experience or can you recommend some app?

i'm a senior and our midterms are about to start and i was getting good grades i do have exam anxiety tho but i was doing good till our 20 exams started and i was studying most of the day and i knew everything about the subjects but in the exam i seem to be forgetting about everything that i study idk why this happens to me like it doesn't matter if i study a lot or a little sometimes in the exam i just can't think and forget everything that i studied for and bc of that i can't find motivation to study anymore any advice would be appreciated!

Hi I have a question, I use techniques which are good for conceptual understanding and ability to apply in various scenwrio, but how can these be effecticely trsndlated to essay/ S-A questions which have a focus on technical terminology and articulation, to improve in the articulation of these arudous concepts how would u do this, would u memorise articulate sentences relating to eqch topic which can be used in any q and get familiar with these over time or would u maybe use SQ3R method and maybe memorise responses, how would you manoeuver through this?

Hey r/studying,

Today there are several LLM models which are proving very useful in learning about any topic and also to increase our productivity in our daily work. Although they are general purpose text models, some of them are more suited to certain tasks than others because of the way they are trained.

For example, ChatGPT and Claude are generally good at creative text generation and storytelling. Gemini is a good choice for getting informative and factually correct answers, and Llama is great for complex problem solving.

Often, a lot of us either -

• Use one LLM for all of our needs - missing out on better responses in many cases
• Manage multiple subscriptions to different LLMs for different use cases - this costs a lot and there is a lot of switching required

To solve these problems, I created BlendLLM - where you can compare the outputs from different models to a prompt, side by side.

There is a free tier to use for use up to a limit, and a single subscription to get access to 100+ models under the same subscription.

I hope this tool will prove extremely useful to a lot of people in learning and help in studies.

Please provide any feedback you have in the comments below. I am constantly working on making it better!

Yes,i am talking about a streak of procrastinating since last week and was unable to achieve my daily goals of completing the theory and moving onto MCQs and have a balance. Today,it was getting out of hands and finally stuck myself or you can say glued to the chair and went onto solving a Marrow Qbank from ENT of the topics i read a couple of days ago. Solving the first module gave me immense confidence as I performed better than 94% of the users and kept me indulged onto solving modules one after the other as i was getting above 80% in all.I finally stopped after 4 modules as i haven't revised the further topics but i guess this day gave me a boost and im not stopping anytime soon!

So here I am to start morning routine 💫

I am currently studying bachelors in software engineerig. It's my second year, but still I am unaware of programming, I am good in initial concepts, but i have discovered that programming was never my thing, rather i am more inclined towards business studies. I have thought to complete my bachelors in software engineerig, then after I will do MBA. Is it correct planning? Also suggest me other options. Your advice is highly appreciable.

Hi everyone!

In my free time, I've been working on a Chrome extension that lets me run OpenAI prompts directly from any webpage.

I started this project because I found myself constantly using Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V between webpages and my ChatGPT account—whether it was to summarize something, translate text, or even convert a table to CSV.

Here’s how the extension works:

1. Install the Chrome extension.
2. Add your own OpenAI API key and save it.
3. Visit any website.
4. Press Ctrl+I.
5. Select the text or element you need from the page.
6. Type your prompt.
7. Voilà! Grab your output instantly!

With this tool, I no longer need to switch to my ChatGPT account for quick and simple tasks.

The extension is still in BETA, so I’d love to hear your thoughts! If you have ideas for improvement, suggestions, or feedback, I’d be more than happy to hear them. 😊

EDIT: laptop and iPad stand don't have to fit in the sleeve.

Looking for a laptop sleeve that can fit a 13" MacBook Air, 5th Gen iPad Air, Logitech K380s Pebble Keys 2 Wireless Keyboard, Logitech M350s Pebble 2 Wireless Mouse, Kmart Adjustable Laptop Stand (Australia) and a portable desktop iPad stand.

Also looking for a portable desktop landscape iPad stand that will fit a 5th Gen iPad Air with the OtterBox Statement Series Studio Case

Thanks in advance

Hey everyone,
I’ve always struggled with staying organized when it comes to studying. Between school, extracurriculars, and just life in general, my notes would end up scattered, and I’d constantly feel behind.

A few weeks ago, I hit a breaking point after bombing a quiz I thought I was prepared for. That’s when I decided to change things up and try something new. I found this tool called Study Snail, and honestly, it’s been a game-changer for me.

The way it works is super simple. You create flashcards (or use pre-made ones), and it uses spaced repetition to help you actually remember what you’re studying. But the best part for me? It’s not overwhelming. It has this clean, distraction-free vibe that makes it feel less like a chore and more like... progress.

For example, I used it to prep for my bio midterm. Instead of trying to cram everything at once, I’d do a few cards a day during my breaks. By the time the test rolled around, I didn’t even need to pull an all-nighter (for once). The funny thing is, I actually remembered stuff weeks later when it came up in class again.

I’m not saying it’ll work for everyone, but if you’re like me and get overwhelmed with traditional study methods, it might be worth checking out.

Hi everyone,

I feel like I’m always behind in class, and I don’t understand why this keeps happening. Here are the things I’ve noticed about myself:

I Struggle to Understand the Material: I often feel like I barely know what’s going on, even after reading or preparing.

Lack of Motivation: I procrastinate a lot and don’t put in as much effort as I know I should. It feels like I’m just trying to get by instead of really learning.

Presentations Are the Worst: Other people seem confident and know how to explain and argue their points, while I feel small and clueless.

Brain Fog: My thoughts feel slow and cloudy, which makes it harder to focus or engage in discussions.

It feels like everyone else is confident and on top of things, and I’m just stuck in the corner hoping no one notices how lost I am. Why am I like this? How can I start feeling more confident and actually keep up with everyone else?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

I recently took a Real Analysis final and I found out my grade ended up being a 67 which is 3 points from passing. I emailed my professor but I was told nothing could be done as the gap was to big to round to a C and no more points could be earned in the course. This was supposed to be my last semester and I don’t know what to do now as I really don’t want to take the course again.
