The /r/StudyTips Story
/r/StudyTips has been around for years but it was obscure and poorly moderated. I recently adopted this subreddit to pull it out from obscurity to turn it into the big beautiful thriving community it will be. We've got some work to do but we can make this into a fun community together!

I have a entrance exam for medical school in april. We have a book with test questions that are going to be on the exam would it be smart to cross out the wrong answers first and study like that (seeing the correct answers only) or is it going to mess me up?
This is coming from an actual student, by the way.
I've built out for myself an AI that helps me study by creating quizzes, summarizing YouTube videos, and making my note-taking a lot easier.
It usually took me 5 hours minimum to watch through the videos or PDFs and, on top of that, even take notes.
If there will be some interest from your guy's side, I will release it to the public!
I'm not sure if I can share links here, so if anyone wants to test it out for FREE, dm me.
So hey everyone I just want to seek some guidance bcz I’m a 10th grader and I have my pre board exams from 2nd January and I’m definitely not prepared for anything I really really need help plz tell me how to complete all of this syllabus
We built a mind mapping application that could also be used to learn complex concepts and break them down into subtopics.
We wondered how many of you have ever used mind maps or digital mind maps like this to support your learning and understanding of complex study topics?
When I try to read my eyeballs go so fast that it starts paining in the eyes and I get anxious if I read slow. Can someone help.
I wanna use a note taking app recently, but for me, notion is too pricey. And I finally realized that Coda and Capacities provided the best free plan. But I am wondering which is better for me. So, I would like to ask for any ideas.
Which app will be better for you guys?

How many people would be interested in freemium program that offers coaching/online courses on how to use ChatGPT more effectively for studying/homework?
With an emphasis on making sure students don't get flagged for cheating, while learning the material and getting better exam scores.
We believe that it is unnecessary to pay for additional types of AI to aid in ones academics, and that with proper guidance, ChatGPT will be the only AI resource that a student would need to thrive.
If could see yourself using this type of program, either the free or paid version, please choose yes below.
Yes, that's true.
My A2 started in August 2023.
I started studying.
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
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:
FREE Flow State Tracker:

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.

I'm a university student about to start the 2nd year. But I'm struggling with concentrating, keeping on track and memory. I loose track and miss many things often. Sometimes I have to read the same thing over and over again to paste it in my mind. What can I do to improve myself? I have more 1.5 months till my 2nd year starts. What can I do before that? Haw can I be better?
I've made some voice recordings from my notes. Can I combine the files so that they make one file and I can have it on continuous play?
Recently used EssayScribez for my academic needs, and was really impressed with their service. Despite some negative reviews posted online by competitors trying to tarnish their reputation, I found them to be reliable and also professional on every level

I feel that no matter how hard I study, I always get low scores on my exam but when it comes performing them in labs, I manage to get everything done and get great marks.
I've been seeing a flood of posts lately seeking upvotes for study motivation.
Yup, it's tough out there.
Exams are hard, and revisions are torturous, but we have to move forward despite all that. And as the year ends, I think it's important for us to appreciate how far we've come.
So here are some of the things I've come to realize after some introspection and I hope it helps whoever who needs it:
2024 wasn’t easy. Maybe you faced challenges, lost your way, or doubted yourself. But you’re here. You made it this far. That's not a small thing. It's everything.
Wins don’t always scream; they whisper. Did you keep going when things were tough? Did you show up for someone? Did you show up for yourself? These quiet victories matter. Acknowledge them.
You grew. Even if it felt like standing still, growth isn’t always visible. Sometimes, it’s just surviving. Sometimes, it's getting out of bed, trying again, or believing that better days are ahead.
Setbacks taught you things you didn’t know you needed. They taught you resilience. Patience. How to pivot. How to let go of things not meant for you. You learned, and you’re wiser now.
2025 isn’t about ‘fixing’ yourself. It’s about honouring the person you are, the one who’s been showing up through it all. The version of you that deserves grace and recognition.
To anyone feeling exhausted, lost, or uncertain: You’re not alone. And you’re more capable than you know. You've made it through 100% of your hardest days.
10 days left (or maybe less) — but you've got this. ��✨
If you're still here, my friends and I (as a small student team) are building a cozy study-time tracker. It started as a tool just for us, but over the past year, we’ve made it accessible to everyone, hoping it could help others too.
So if you find tracking your study stats useful, check us out at wonderspace — or a quick Google search for "wonderspace" will get you there.
Guys, help please, how to get back my passion like seriously, I'm a 12 grader and it's my last year at school, but I can't focus on studying like I used to do ,this is stressing me out, I don't know what to do , it's an important year and I need to study hard but I can't even focus with the sessions, please
I used to love watching kharma medic's vlogs. His love for medicine was infectious and you could tell how passionate he was about studying and learning. It was a great positive influence. I have rewatched them at least thrice because I just can't find more study tubers who enjoy learning as much. If you guys have any recommendations of vlogs that have the same vibe, please drop them below
These lofi tracks are cool for focus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsYSRXw2tBo&t=8s
I have my finals next month and I have hella lot of portions to study
I have my finals next month and I have more that 10 subjects with more that 10chapters to study. So I thought of creating my own notes despite it already being provided by my school. The notes provided by my school aren't that helpful so I need to make one on my own,which covers all topics and all points but takes short period of time to study.
I see many students stressed out about the college common app essay until the last minute. But sometimes they just need some sort of jump-start or ice-break moment.
I will come up with a raw draft with calibrated AI-prompt,if you give me your target schools or your interests/background or your social media url (just to be safe:No private info please; if have to, you can direct mesage me :)
It won't be perfect, but it will help you to start it.
The app is called Bindings, It's really hard to manage all your useful resources which are of different formats, so what if there was a way to combine all of the media into a single topicwise collection, That's exactly what a Binding is! The resources include Notes, Images, Documents, YouTube videos, Weblinks,etc Some features include
Let me know if you have any thoughts on this, I hope you like it 🤞.. Any advice, suggestions are welcome 🙏 I worked more than a year on it, and it's finally out! currently available on Android, coming soon on iOS... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bindingsai.bindings
i see so many tools now offering end-year sales for their subscriptions. i'm not sure what to choose because i need it mostly for help with generating essays + citations. i understand that any tool can't give a guarantee not to be detected but whatever... what is better? i'm choosing between editpad and textero right now. or maybe u have other options to advise?

I'm working on a Focus Guide before creating an Ultimate Learning System and I want to hear the stories of everyone who suffers from this and what you are going through. Basically, tell me your focus problems and describe them in detail as much as you want.
I might give some of you the Focus Guide so you'll be the first ones to try it out when it is done. Of course, assuming your describe your problem in as much detail as you want!
I'll put that guide here: r/learninglunatics

People's complaints:
Heyo!
I'm a pro-procrastinator and it's taking a toll on me. It's 06:30 AM and I haven't gone to bed yet because I have two assignments due in about 17,5 hours. I managed the first one, but doubt I can manage the second one. I need to look at some PowerPoints, change some stuff in the game that is needed for it and make a short analysis on it.
I'm a horrible student and yet I get by, but it's stressful and I can tell on how tense and exhausted I am. I also get so frustrated because part of me procrastinating is that I don't always understand the questions, and it just makes me give up. I hate it and I just feel bad when I don't get it. Doesn't help that it's two different courses and I'm three weeks behind somehow.
How can I stop procrastinating and reduce my stress? How can I actually focus on my assignments? How can I read the books and make sure anything sticks enough to use them as references? How can I stop being an overachiever at the same time who, in her confusion about what the descriptions/questions demands of me, write waaaay too much? Sometimes too much and too shallow, sometimes too much and too in-depth..
