What would be 3 tips of yours to understand deeply each physics topic?

I am studying it at school and I understand, but not deeply and I don’t know where to start. I love when it happens but can’t happen why and from where it happens. Thank you guys.

Soo you know that one topic that just refuses to make sense no matter how many times you read your notes? For me, that was enzyme kinetics. I read the textbook and watched YouTube videos but nothing clicked. Then I tried r/StudyFetch’s Video Explainer feature. I typed in “Can you break down enzyme kinetics like I’m five?” and it generated this short animated video that actually made the whole process make sense. Seeing everything visualized with moving parts instead of just reading text was super helpful. Now, instead of just memorizing random equations, I actually understand why they work! This saved me from spending another three hours staring at my notes like a lost puppy.

So last night, I had one of those moments where I realized my exam was way closer than I thought, and I was nowhere near ready. I was going through my notes, and no matter how many times I reread them, nothing was sticking. I swear, my brain just shut down...

At that point, I figured I’d try out r/StudyFetch’s Call with Spark.E feature since I’d seen people talking about it but never used it myself. I hopped on a call and dumped my confusion about a bunch of finance formulas I kept mixing up. Instead of me just staring at my notes in frustration, Spark.E broke everything down step by step and actually explained why things worked the way they did. I got actual responses tailored to what I didn’t understand. By the end of the call, the formulas finally clicked, and I went from “I have no idea what I’m doing” to “okay, I might survive this test.”

If you’re stuck on something and feel like you’re just going in circles, I’d def recommend giving it a shot!

So I thought I was solid on my history exam material—took notes, highlighted like crazy, even re-read the textbook multiple times. But then I tried making a quiz for myself (shoutout to r/studyfetch’s quiz feature), and… I was NOT as prepared as I thought.

I blanked on half the questions, and some of my “confident” answers were way off. It was a humbling experience, but also a lifesaver because it showed me exactly where I was struggling before I actually sat for the test.

Moral of the story: Just reading doesn’t mean you know it. If you haven’t tested yourself yet, you’re probably overestimating how much you actually remember. Highly recommend quizzing yourself, even if it’s just to expose how much you don’t know yet (so you can fix it).

So throughout highschool, my main method of studying was through flashcards. And they work great, but they do take some time. Now that I am in college, i simply cannot afford to waste time making flashcards, and trust me i tried but the amount of time i wasted on simply making them could have been better used to actually study the material. So I am asking, if anyone knows a better way of studying, that is not time consuming, but still effective? (Blurting also did not work, i wasted too much time)

Hi all, I am beginning the process of attempting to get into medical school. I am starting from the bottom and need to redo my maths and English Language GCSEs and the three sciences at A Level. I have contacted an exam centre that can facilitate this and told me what exam boards they use. I will be sitting Maths and English at the end of this year, and the A levels in May/June next year. Has anyone got any helpful tips and advice? I plan to start the self-study for all of it now, emphasising my GCSEs until I do the exams. Thank you in advance

Wondering how the top students do it?

I have my finals coming up, and they’re is super important so I can’t afford to really waste time yet so often, I find myself so distracted with thoughts that I’m tempted to give up and just start the next day because if I continue it’s like the quality of my study ain’t optimal anyway but I have so less time for finals that I can’t afford to do that. This choice is always a like a ping pong match in my head cuz trust me my thoughts are like the rabbit hole in Alice in wonderland so what’d you suggest personally?

I've recently started using this website called QuizBot that I wanted to share. It turns my notes into things like flashcards, study guides, and practice problems. Its been extremely helpful and useful for my AP US History class - https://www.quiz-bot.com/

Will this routine be effective to ace in neb boards ( never made and followed any routine before😭) #neb #nepal #studytips

First, cut out social media; it’s a time and energy drain. Instead, use AI tools like:

ChatGPT to help you understand complex concepts and answer any questions quickly.

Aishorty.com can help summarize study materials and make reviewing easier, from You Tube long videos to short summaries that will save you time. It could be used for productivity, not just for studying.

uNotes.net is a free platform to download and share notes, past exams, and study resources. The best way to study is to practice from past exams or past notes.

And don’t forget productivity tools like Pomodoro to keep you focused and manage your study time effectively. Trust me, these simple changes will help you study smarter, not harder!

Someone is able to focus at homework or just studying while listening to a twitch stream or is it almost impossible to get yout homework done that way?

Guys is there anyone have chegg subcribition i want to see an answer of a question DM me if u cab help

I used to spend hours rereading notes and highlighting, thinking I was studying. But when the exam came, most of it was gone. Then I learnt about active recall. Instead of just reading, I started quizzing myself. I’d cover my notes, try to recall the key points, and check what I missed. At first, it felt slower, but I started remembering way more with less effort.

I also stopped highlighting and instead wrote questions based on my notes. Instead of “Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell,” I’d write “What’s the powerhouse of the cell?” It forced me to actually engage with the material. The only downside was that writing out questions took time. Now, I just type my notes as usual and use a simple tool that turns them into quiz-style questions automatically. Saves me effort, but the results are the same.

If you’re stuck rereading, try self-testing instead. It makes a huge difference.

At this point I’ve kind of just checked out of my exams. They’re important, they’re what I need to get into university. But I have no motivation anymore. I’m tired.

My teachers have given us revision lists and practically told us what to revise for previous mock exams and tomorrow my last mocks begin before the real things, with no guidance. And I’ll be real, I’m screwed. I’ve already accepted that.

But I need to pass to close the distance with my long distance boyfriend. If I don’t do that, I’ll honestly just start falling apart. I love him so much, I just want to be physically close to him all the time. It was our dream from day one. So now I have the stress of passing so we can be together on my head, and my parents pressurising me because on paper I’ve done really well when told what to revise. I think I’m fucked. I just want to scream and cry. I don’t know who to talk to about this. My boyfriend was upset when I said I’d all but given up. I hate this. I hate it so much.

I used to be a topper in school, consistently ranking first or second in my class. I genuinely loved studying, and math was my favourite subject—I could practice for hours without effort. As I grew older, I lost my ability to study, even in subjects I was passionate about. Despite still being highly intelligent, I found myself unable to focus or apply myself academically the way I once did.

This shift happened around the same time I was severely bullied in school—primarily for my dark complexion and for being a timid child. That phase had a deep emotional impact on me. I also grew up with an abusive and emotionally distant father, which shaped a lot of my internal struggles.

Over the years, I developed strong social skills—I’m an excellent conversationalist and highly charismatic in one-on-one interactions. People enjoy talking to me, and I’ve had multiple relationships, including my current happy one. However, I’ve also struggled with people-pleasing, social anxiety, and a deep fear of judgment.

I find myself stuck. I know I’m smart, I know I’m capable, but I just can’t seem to push myself to study or do deep work. I want to understand why this transition happened—from a high-achieving student to someone who avoids studying altogether.

How can I break this pattern and regain the ability to focus and apply myself again?

"Hello everyone! This post is my personal thoughts on how to improve our education system. I'm not claiming to be the latest model, it's just my take on the problems I'm facing and my ideas in their opinion. I am ready for discussion and criticism!"

"Unnecessary" topics: rethinking the program

To begin with, in my opinion, you need to review the list of required subjects. I suggest that physical education, art, music, and perhaps even literature be completely eliminated or made optional (in the form of clubs or additional classes).

Physical education: This subject often becomes a cause for stress. Not everyone has the same physical fitness, and consumer requirements often do not take into account the specifics. In addition, often instead of full-fledged classes, we just play games, and then run to the locker room to succeed in the next lesson, sweaty and tired.

Iso: The ability to draw is a talent, an optional skill. Why make everyone suffer in art lessons when you can offer additional classes to those who are really interested in drawing?

Music: The same goes for music. Not everyone has a musical ear and a desire to sing in front of the whole class. Music clubs are a great alternative for those who want to practice vocals or play instruments.

Literature: Literature is more difficult, but I think it's a bit weak as a separate subject. Why would I read works written 200 years ago, or learn meaningless poetry that I'll forget anyway? After all, reading skills can be developed in Russian language lessons, and for a deeper understanding of literature, clubs and additional classes can be held.

Homework: It's time to say goodbye

I am convinced that it is necessary to completely cancel homework. If a student doesn't understand the topic of the lesson, they probably won't figure it out either at her place or at home. DZ just takes away our personal time, which we could spend on recreation or favorite activities. In addition, DZ is either recorded or asked for help from parents, which is also far from always effective.

Curriculum: less, yes better

I think we need to review the content of the main subjects and reduce the amount of material we study. Why bother with information that is unlikely to be useful in life? It is necessary to leave only the basic knowledge that is really necessary.

School differentiation: a choice for everyone

I propose to introduce a school differentiation system.:

Regular schools: provide basic knowledge up to grade 9, after which students can enroll in college or college. Gymnasiums/lyceums: Provide deeper knowledge, left to study until 11th grade. Transfer from a regular school to a gymnasium/lyceum should be possible on condition of successful completion of the entrance exams. In addition, after graduating from grade 9 of a regular school, students should be able to enroll in a gymnasium/lyceum for free to complete their secondary education.

Exams: mitigation and make it more adequate

We need to remove the final exams and replace them with final exams . Final exams in English and mathematics, and in other subjects - regular tickets to all courses of study, for example, at colleges / universities. This will help to get rid of stress and not spend several years preparing for exams that break away from real learning.

Conclusion:

"I understand that these ideas may seem radical, but I believe that they can make our education system better, fairer and more interesting. What do you think about it? What other changes do you think our school needs?

hello so i have a history mid year exam coming up i wrote two sets of notes one very detailed and one a shortened version i usually make a quiz using my notes on quizlet would it be more efficient for me to use the detailed notes or the shortened notes for the quiz?

I am playing around with prompts that will be useful when using AI tools that will support me writing my Master Thesis in engineering.

I was wondering if you peeps have any tips/suggestions for prompts to use.

For example, I am searching for prompts like:

"Hey ChatGPT, I am student in [study name] doing a master thesis research in [X topic]. Currently I am working on section [X] where I want to give background information about [X topics].

Write me one. Also use and provide me academic resources"

I want to improve such prompts. All help is welcome

Hello! I'm a senior in highschool . And this year is the most important year in my life yet I find myself procrastinating .. I tried to stay focused but I cant especilly since I'm addicted to maladaptive daydreaming. I need a way to study .. I want to but I can't physically and it sucks.. however saw this please I need ur help !! I have 4 months left more like 3 months and 29 day and im scared... I used to be a top student now I get bad grades and it destroyed my ego..

So, I am in high school and I was wondering how to best study science. I am doing biology and I’ve been wondering how to understand it completely. I’ve heard of the Feynman technique(teach it to someone else). I’ve also tried simplifying my notes to better understand them. I still have not been tested, but I am just wondering if I am doing it right.

Also, What about chemistry and physics? Practice problems? Teaching it to others? Any advice will be appreciated.
