I use the pomodoro technique, during the break should I use the time to study chess (since I wanna improve in my chess games) or should I just dont do anything and relax?

Hi,

Long story short I took a break from studying since December. I was halfway the physiology program of my exam.

I went through some traumatic events in med school (reason why I took the break).

Now I need to get back if I want to give any other exam I need to sit for physiology.

I thought of starting from 0, I'm scared of having missed any info while studying in that stressful period.

But it would take me 3-4 months to finish everything.

I thought at the end to pick the FAQ (our exams are oral, not written) and revision the topics starting from there and just simulating the exam (it consiste of 4 questions: cardio, neuro, respiratory or urinary and endocrine systems). A question for each sub-subject.

What's your advice on this?

My mind feels heavy when re-reading my notes and I can't talk fast as I used to. I have difficulty talking.

I'm fine studying new content and practicing for the exam.

It's just that im tired from this one specifically.

Edit: I also don't remember anything of what I've studied and i didn't properly finish the program

It's not the complete final and I can make up to ut later but I have to do 4 weeks of studying starting now and yes I was procrastinating and depressed but I keep doing this for all my studies and I don't know how to stand on my own again any tips?

I just wanted to make a yt channel and share study with me kinda videos .. I wonder if anyone is interested in this kind of stuff?

ok, possibly badly worded title. but seriously i feel so overwhelmed not knowing how to properly study. i’ve been taking my first few hard stem classes in college and i have no idea how to study correctly. i understand there’s methods out there like active recall and whatnot but how are people even knowing what material to study? how do you go from lecture slides to knowing all the knowledge necessary for a midterm/final? i get so overwhelmed thinking about what to tackle first. do i read the whole textbook? or is that inefficient? do i watch videos and only study the slides? (well now i don’t know the material enough). please anybody drop their study methods of how to tackle material for an A+ understanding in an efficient amount of time.

As a full-time employed student pursuing my degree in business management, juggling work responsibilities and academic assignments became a daunting task. I struggled to meet deadlines, often feeling overwhelmed and stressed. That's when I found a helper.

Before connecting with Frank, I constantly played catch-up, sacrificing sleep and personal time to complete assignments. However, since working with him, my academic life has transformed. Frank's support and guidance have been invaluable. He helps me understand complex concepts and provides practical strategies for time management and organization.

Thanks to this guy, Frank, I no longer feel overwhelmed. I can easily manage my full-time employment alongside my academic pursuits. His approachable nature and dedication to his students make him an invaluable resource. I highly recommend Tutor Frank to any student facing similar challenges. He's not just a tutor; he's a mentor who genuinely cares about his students' success.

Hey mates, I am sure that this reddit contains a lot of academic successors, the ones who have conquered this term to the very depth.

I am someone who studies in class 9, uh... Who is enrolled in class 9. The truth is that I have never ever studied in my life, not even for an hour until yesterday and I kinda had a lot of fun, I continued it till 3 hours but then the boredom caught me off guard.

Believe it or not it was my first time studying in my life, I have questioned myself and I want to become a well renowned army man but that will require me to study and pass one of the toughest mental exams.

What are your tips? How to study, when to study and literally... What? I am not even familiar with basic terms. How to initiate this new journey?

Hi, I am a freshmen in college who’s a pre-med student. I took my first General Chemistry class and did horrible. I would spend many hours either studying or doing homework but never did well on exams. Planning on retaking course next year any tips?

Hello, my school starts back up after a 2 week holiday and I didn’t revise at all because Feb-March was a very busy school term and I was revising quite a bit but I skipped 2 weeks of revision because frankly I was burnt out. I have finals in 3-5 weeks in 7 subjects

I want to revise 2 of the subjects a day. I have a revision timetable but the thing is. Is it better to let’s say do maths for 6 hours(split into 3 hour blocks) so like having a maths day or 3 hours and then 3 hours spent on another subject like English.

The subjects I have are Maths, English, Business Management, History, Biology, Music Theory and Drama.

So my current timetable looks like

Day 1 - Maths, English (3 hours each for all subjects in the list)

Day 2 - History, Drama

Day 3 - Biology, Business

Day 4 - Maths, English

Day 5 - Biology, Business

Day 6 - History, Drama

Day 7 - Some music revision as it’s not very important

Guys in a 9th grader I promoter just like now and I thought there is a month of summer vacation and they said there is only like 10 days leave after attending some classes we were been waiting for the announcement to hear the 10 days leave and I got cancelled and I had no leaves through this hot summer I am freaking angry as they said there is no leaves I'm getting depressed and stressed and if I'm in class I'm also getting stressed bored depressing I this normal or cab i overcome my situation

how to study when you’re procrastinating 🥱✅⬇️

1. 5 Minute Rule ⏱️

Tell yourself you will only study for 5 minutes. This helps you overcome the procrastination barrier.

2. Create bite sized tasks 👣

These are less overwhelming and create space for you to start.

3. Set aside distractions 📱

Have a list of distractions? Write them down in a notepad and put time in your schedule to do them later. A second brain works well for this!!

4. Build momentum with small wins 🎯

You don’t always have to start with the hardest task first, especially when you’re procrastinating doing it in the first place. Gradually build up to it.

5. Consider your energy levels 🔋

Take regular breaks, find your peak productive hours and make sure you are getting enough rest & eating healthy. Low energy leads to procrastination.

6. Study buddy 🫂

Join study lives or work with a friend! This technique is called body doubling and it helps keep you accountable!

It's has been a big problem for me since like 2 years. No matter how hard I try I just can't learn things that I don't enjoy or just don't find any interest in learning. And if I can learn them it takes me double the time I could learn sth I actually like learning. I know it's just how it works but I need some tips to speed up learning thease subjects,

I'm struggling the most with history.

Hello! I need help. Does anyone have any tips on how to concentrate while studying? I'm studying law, and currently, I have a lot of mid-term exams. However, when I sit down to study, I can't concentrate at all, and my attention span is very short. Additionally, it's challenging for me to remember concepts when I start studying, and it takes me a long time to retain the information. Does anyone have any tips or methods on how to remember concepts and material faster? Thank you for your answers!

I have a lot of exams coming up. National college entrance exam (in a week) and 12th grade final exams (in a month). these two are the only things that go on your file and the only qualitys that people look for when you apply for college.

And guess what I did not sudy for any of it. People spend years of their life studying and getting ready for it. But I waste all the time that was given to me.

And now I know it's impossible to catch up with all the time that I lost but there is nothing that I can do other than study from now on.

So do you have any tips on studying large amount of content in short amount of time?

I am from a country that college entrance is dependent on two things:

1.NCEE: The national college entrance exam Wich is about your major's main subject (for me it is physics, geometry, chamistry, calculace and a few other little things). I also have to add that the source for this exam is all three years of high school. NCEE is a two part exam with about two months in between and the one that you have performed better is the one that will be chosen one your file. And the other would be ignored. this part makes about 50% of entrance points. And I really need to say that this exam is no joke. It is super competitive. This exam is by far the most stressful and the most life changing exam that you ever take.

2. 12th grade final exams:

This also makes about 50% (and if I'm not mistaken exactly 50%). As I said there is a two month gap between the two part of the NCEE, and one of these months is fully occupied by the 12th grade final exams. These exams are not just about your major's main subjects, they are also about the common subject for example literature and etc. And there are around 12 exams in total. And yes it take a full month to take all 12 exam. These exams are not particularly hard but they are also not easy (to give you context the average point the the whole country got in these exams last year is around 53.95/100. And considering that the minimum points that you need for passing is 50 the number is not high. And to add is that even if you completely know and understand the subject there is a high chance of you not getting the full point, don't get me wrong you probably get decent point but not the full point because even if you write down the answer correctly you still need to follow some stupid rules that have nothing to do with the subject).

I'm sorry for talking too much I just wanted to give you the full context, anyway...

Today I was informed that for some reason (probably my own fault) my name was not on the second part of NCEE. That means I only have one chance. Wich shouldn't be that big of a problem considering people spend years preparing for this exam. And people give it their all regardless if it is the first part or the second part. (And also the fact that till a few months ago people didn't know that this year would be two part exam or just a single exam so they probably prepared for whatever the situation). But unfortunately I am not people. I didn't spent years and years getting ready for this exam and I'm not a good student, I means I used to be... But from some point on everything changed. And it's not like any major changes happened in my life but from some point I started getting up at 6 instead of 5 and then 7 instead of 8 and then 9 instead of 8 and so on. And you know... Spending less and less time on actually studying or anything that's important and spending more and more time on things that I know is wasting my time, I don't think the reason is that I lost my motivation, because I didn't have a purpose to begin with but I guess things used to be easier and you could do them without motivation or purpose but as things became harder and harder you probably would need a reason, a reason that I didn't have.

Regardless of the reason I'm here. Next week is first (and for me the only) part of NCEE. I am by no mean ready for it and more important than that I am not ready for the next month's exams. (12th grade final exams). I am completely lost. I don't think it's impossible to get ready for all the exams yet I don't think I have it in me to actually do it. And the getting ready for NCEE in less than a week, I don't think it's even possible.

It's like I'm just sitting and seeing my whole life is going down the drain in duration of a month. And the thing that scares me is the fact that I am not doing anything to stop it. And it's not like that I can't, cause if I couldn't at least I would have an excuse. Being able and still not doing it is such a new and scary feeling.

Am I going through a life crisis? Or is it just what happens when your whole life is based on a month worth of exam? Has anyone ever gone through something similar if yes how did you get through it? How can I study knowing that even the best scenario is not something that I feel content about ? Do you think me waiting and taking the exam next year would be good idea(not a single soul recommend this because how much trouble it would cause but still maybe it's the only way to get into college)? And at last, going through years of content in a month or a week... And tips on that?

You’ve probably heard that different people perceive information in different ways. Some of us learn best from visuals, while others remember everything better after hearing about the key concepts. Another type of learning you might not be too familiar with is kinesthetic, and this one is all about needing physical activity and hands-on tasks to understand and memorize the things you’re learning.

You might assume that it’s hard to be this type of student, and you’d be right since some of the classes don’t offer practical activities at all. However, there’s always a way to maximize the benefits of this perception type for learners of all academic levels. Let’s talk about what you can do to achieve that.

How to tell if you’re a kinesthetic learner

Believe it or not, kinesthetic learning isn’t uncommon at all! The research by Tyas and Safitri shows that the “predominant male’s learning style was Kinesthetic as estimated by 14 male students (41%) while female students have 21 (32%) Kinesthetic students for Group” (2017). In short, many learners are kinesthetic, and there’s nothing wrong with that. But what are the signs that you’ll benefit from physical activity while studying? Here are some questions that will help you sort that out.

• Do you need to walk around or gesture a lot when memorizing things?
• Do fidget toys help you focus when you’re in a long lecture?
• Do you remember podcasts or lectures better if you listen to them while exercising versus when you’re sitting still?
• When you’re explaining something or talking about important concepts, do you prefer to sit down or stand and move around?
• Is it normal for you to go on walks or do sports to find inspiration and develop the main ideas for your papers?
• Do you feel uncomfortable when you have to sit still and read or listen to the lessons for more than 30 minutes?

If you can see that most of these statements are about you, there is a chance that you’ll benefit from increased physical activity during your studies (when it’s possible). So, how do you make your learning kinesthetic? Let’s see together!

Making your learning physical

Generally, kinesthetic learning has scientifically proven benefits. For example, “the interview evaluated that the students are happy with the kinesthetic learning method carried out as it promoted their understanding and recollection” (Saehana et al., 2021). So, what is that miraculous method? As an adult student, you’ll need to create the best strategy yourself based on your needs and habits. Here are a few made-up stories that illustrate the successful application of kinesthetic learning.

1. Maggie is one of the best students in her class, but she feels really tense and exhausted after having to sit in one place when doing her homework. She knows she can study faster, but she feels like something is preventing her from doing that. To cope with these feelings, Maggie buys a few fidget toys and tries using them when she reads about important theoretical concepts or listens to lengthy lectures. Not only did her mood improve, but she now feels that she can complete more tasks in less time, so Maggie is very happy.
2. Andrew has always been a great basketball player, and he also loves programming, which is his future profession. However, it can be hard for him to figure out some of the trickier schemes while staying in one place. He has discovered that he can play with his ball with one hand while reading the important materials from his phone that he holds in the other hand. His roommates said it was too dangerous to do this indoors, so he studies outside during warm weather and goes to the gym during cold months. Since then, Andrew has improved his grades and become a better basketball player, so he’s proud of his achievements.
3. Margaret had never been able to walk around while memorizing her homework until she enrolled in college to study linguistics. At first, she was too shy to go back and forth with her book because she thought her roommates would say it looked weird. However, one of her roommates, Jenny, saw her hesitation and asked what was wrong. After Margaret told her about the need to walk around while reciting theoretical concepts, Jenny told her it was a great idea and offered to try this strategy together. Since then, both of them have learned faster, and Margaret feels included and happy.

As you can see, these stories aren’t just about kinesthetic learning; they’re also about accepting others and finding compromise when you need to. As long as students stay tolerant and understanding, they’re sure to find support.

Don’t be ashamed of your learning needs

Sometimes, students think that “something isn’t right about them” if they need a different learning strategy compared to their peers. However, that’s not even remotely true since every student is unique, and there aren’t two people who require identical studying strategies. Remember that there’s nothing wrong with “relying too much on visual aids” or “moving around too much when reading.” As long as you’re comfortable with the way in which you perceive, analyze, and remember information, you’re likely to become a successful and happy student. We wish you luck on your journey and hope that this article has helped you!

how to study over break?? i dont wanna lose what i learnt over the term and i wanna hone my skills

I just started my 2nd sem and there's dld it's been easy so far but I just have a bit of confusion about some questions about k-map as I was solving em but my friend said my pairings/overlapping of 1's is wrong :/ So just a few questions!

In 3 and 4 variables k-map are we only supposed to make pair of 2 and 4 1's and not 3? Also these were the practice questions I was solving, I'll be really thankful if someone replies!

Short: Link

Saw this yt short and now confused which major to pick, do you have any recommendations on how to choose the right major?

I am soo confused all the basic stuff like law, comp sci, finance are uninteresting to me :(

y'all how do i lock in. i don't feel like studying because it's understimulating so i just doomscroll on wikipedia, youtube, and reddit. i deleted all my social media, tried to sleep right, tried to have fun and take a break, but i still can't concentrate. i think i'm overwhelmed by anxieties about the upcoming school year, so i distract myself. are there any ways to make studying stimulating/rewarding? and to like develop discipline

I really need help, because I don't know what to do anymore. He's 14, in 8th grade, and he is failing almost all his classes. I've offered help a lot of times, but he never accepts it. His absence is almost 60% for a variety of reasons, like coming late, skipping class, or just skipping entire school days (saying he's sick, or like today, just refusing to go). He's got friends from what I know, and they hang out after school or play video games online. I don't know what's causing this. Our parents aren't helping a lot either, but they've tried. All from refusing to give him money if he comes late that week, to meetings with teachers, to not letting him meet friends, and more.

He has adhd, and so do I, so I understand that it's hard to focus and pay attention. Discipline is also hard, and finding motivation even more so. He takes meds, but often he just skips them. We have begun putting the jar in his shoes in the morning, but he still doesn't take them (I remind him, but he just says that he did take them in his room). I have told him to request that they heighten his dose, or switch to something else, but I don't know if he'll do that.

He constantly gets into altercations with teachers, and I don't know if he's to blame or if it's just bad teachers. He says that he doesn't understand what to do, and I get that. On the next meeting between our parents and his teachers, they'll bring up that he needs cleal goals and to know what's expected of him.

I'm just so worried for him. Without a passing grade in swedish, english, and math, +9 more, he won't be able to get into highschool. He only has a year left, and time is running out. I feel like I'm failing him. I want to help, but what am I supposed to do if he doesn't accept it? I put in an application to become a private tutor (kids age 6-13), and I feel even worse now after doing it. I'm not even able to help my brother, how am I supposed to help these kids? I feel like I'm abandoning him, or giving up.

Please help me. I don't know what to do.

I get sleepy every time I try to read
