I am a 17yo and I need a tablet and I was thinking of buying samsung tab A9+ but I am not sure if it is good for note taking. Should I buy it? or not? or are there better cheap tabs for note taking?
How do I get interested in this stuff? It seems interesting but whenever I try to get into it, whether that is reading books or listening to podcasts or watching videos, I can’t get into it. Everything they’re saying goes into one ear and out the other and nothing they say makes sense and I just end up frustrated and really bored. Honestly this happens with anything I’m interested in. I can’t focus on or like anything. I have ADHD but the meds don’t work at all. I like birds and want to watch videos on birds but whenever I do I just end up filtering out the voice and spacing out. It bothers me, especially as I’m seen as the smart guy who’s interested in this sort of stuff.
So I have this written exam and I have to write an essay for it, and I was wondering if essay conclusions have to be sophisticated because I'm already dying from trying to memorise and study my body paragraphs. I've got one of those 'guide to write an essay' booklet from the teacher, and the example of the 'best conclusion' was so long and so complicated. It's so sophisticated and I have no idea how to even draw my ideas together like they told me to, like, are they seriously that important
I am in my second grade of high school and I am in one of the hardest high schools in my whole city if not even the country. In my first year my grades were okay but I now think I have waisted that whole year since i wasn't studying that much and most of my grades were average, which I was not proud of at all . This year I can say I have made an academic comeback and my grades are really good, my parents, who are not that strict by the way, are really proud of me and my teachers too, since they saw that I am working on the fullest level. But I honestly think it is just that motivation to study most of us usually get when we get back to school after a summer break. These past few days since we are not having that much tests since the school is protesting my motivation is kind of going down and I am really scared about it and I don't know what to do about it and I feel like once my exams start again that all of the motivation I got will be gone and I'll go back to my old ways. How do you get your motivation when it starts going down? If you have any tips I will be very grateful to hear them, thank you.
Hi, I made an app to schedule and organize your revisions with spaced repetition.
Most spaced repetition apps require you to create flashcards which for some people is a huge no.
Scheduling a reminder for each spaced repetition revision can be long and organizing those revisions can be hard, which is what my app helps with:
It sends you a reminder for when to revise with spaced repetition, has a calendar to help you keep track of each revisions, doesn't require you to create flashcards, lets you add your notes and you can even customize the revision intervals to fit your needs.
My app is called Synapse, it's quite new but it's available on iOS and Android.
iOS: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/synapse-spaced-repetition/id6672094098
Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.synapseappli
Please add a 5 stars review if you like it since it's hard to even be visible on the app stores and good reviews help with ranking higher : )
Here’s how to get started, even when you don’t feel like it!
Tell yourself you’ll study for just 5 minutes. Set a timer, and start with a small task like reading one page or solving one problem.
Light a candle, grab your favorite snack, and put on some calming music. Make your space inviting.
Close your eyes and imagine yourself a week from now, feeling proud after finishing your study goal.
Instead of thinking about a whole chapter, focus on one section or a few pages at a time.
Write down all your worries or thoughts that are making you feel distracted or unmotivated.
Call a friend or join a virtual study group where everyone studies quietly together.
Promise yourself a treat after finishing a task - like a piece of chocolate or 10 minutes on your phone.
I need to write a few paragraphs for my essay, and it has to be focused on the literary value of Shakespeare, and I’m trying to link on how Olivia’s mourning for the death of her brother is something that the modern audience can relate to, through her external signs such as wearing black mourning clothes, covering her face with a veil and seclusion. But I’m really stuck on how to unravel this, can someone please help
I've long wanted a notes app with some very specific features that would compartmentalize my study notes away from my general notes, and allow me to learn that information effectively. Thus, I've come up with https://omniac.io .
I would love for you to try it - it's entirely free for now as I'm looking for people to stress test it and help me flesh out kinks/bugs. It's best used on desktop and allows for an easy, succinct way of generating quizzes from your notes and learning them using spaced repetition principles.
I am exciting to develop it further and welcome any and all feedback
What if you take a break for a few years and then you try to study but you can't study anymore Like what do I do how I start studying again I'm 24F I last studied properly when I was 21
So I haven't been to an irl lecture in about a year, I got used to staying at home after surgery and a failed PT plan, so I tried to nail down how I study from home, including learning from the textbook and whatnot.
Anyone have any suggestions how I can improve or try to do better?
These are some of the following strats I use
- 2-3 pages of very, very simple notes per math lecture. Just the formulae, diagrams/concepts and some examples
- Writing the weekly (sometimes monthly if it's a hard month) goals/checklist of tasks I need to complete per course and outside of school, with associated days of the week I should be done them if needed, and then crossing them out with a red pencil one by one when I do them.
- Breaks when needed
- Eat later in the day after 1:00pm, sometimes way earlier if I wake up early enough to have the basement gym to myself
- Having done alllll of the homework 2 times over in preparation for a test, and then doing it a third time or more for exams
- Not being shy to google and youtube concepts that I am not sure I understand
- Writing down the lessons I need to review and do the homework for again before studying for a test, and then following that plan while writing down important questions and small notes for later review, and then redoing those important questions.
There's probably plenty of minor things that help that I've forgotten about or don't pay attention to, I'm about an A or maybe even a B+ student on average. I don't really care too much about school and grades, but I do care about being efficient and productive especially when it comes to school. I'm just open to hearing what everyone else does.
Do you guys record lectures? How do profs feel about it? I was recording my lecture with StudyFetch so it could give me the transcript and notes because I find it hard to focus sometimes. Especially lately because I just have so much on my plate and my mind is moving a million miles a minute. Plus, I'm more of a reader and reading the transcripts can be better than zoning out during lectures. But I just wanted to know if anyone does that and if it's a normal thing to voice record lectures.
I spend so much time up in my room I find studying there difficult, but anywhere in the rest of my house is too noisy. I would go to the library and cafes, but I’m 17 and don’t have someone to drop me until I get a car. For reference, I live in the countryside far from town. Has anyone else been in my situation? I really want to study- especially cause I’m doing tricky subjects like physics and chemistry, and I feel like if I keep staying and getting distracted in my house I’ll just fall behind.
I'm a 10th grader this year, in the starting of the session I was pretty confident and motivated to achieve atleast of 95+ percent in my board exams but as soon as I got the results of my half yearly exams I'm feeling quite devastated and under-confident (I got 91%) and stood 2nd in my class but the boy who got the 1st position got 94% which is quite higher than my score. Now I'm feeling frustrated and not sure what to do I'm no longer enjoying studying as much as I did before and just dragging things quickly without putting much interest. Also because all of this I haven't been able to complete my syllabus yet idk what to do next...
Its around 3:30 am where I live, I’ve been awake for roughly 14 hrs. In around 3 hours I have an exam. should I take a lil 2 hr nap to refresh my mind or study for a while longer? I’m asking here because none of my family and friends are awake to ask or talk too so reddit is my only option lol
mind that how to study, is literal, theres a lot of tips in the internet that i seen that its more related to everything else that helps studying but its not the studying itself.
i also struggle a lot on how to organize my notes, what should i have and stuff
Lets say you have to study a whole book, how do you organize your information? im struggling on thinking what to do in order to not be too much work and i end up not doing anything with what i wrote/marked or smt because it may be too much. I mean like, do you write in a notebook, notes of the book? write in the book itself? mark only the pages you think its important? i have no idea what to do, i kinda feel that writing in a notebook seens too much since its already written in the book, meanwhile writting small important parts seens weird cause it kinda means everything else doesnt matter much.
It’s not because I don’t try. I woke up at 4 am every morning for a week to study for my chemistry test and still scored low. Idk what to do. I miss the time I was able to ace every test regardless if I studied or not😭
Any tips to study the following grade 11 subjects?:
Please help
