The 6th mistake is relatable to me , in my middle school during the pandemic i became extremely weak at math i thought i could never be good at math, but in my high school i changed my tuition teacher and now my math became very good and became my favourite subject

[@thecubinar]

Thanks so much for this! I will definitely use this valuable advice at school!

[@hassankigo]

the second one really stuck out for me. learn to connect the dots!

[@X-SPONGED]

1:48 You see, Mr Gohar. I would do that, but the last time I actually took the time to understand the material first before writing it down in my notes, I was 2 formulas back from the other students and the example problems were already erased before I can fully grasp the concept. The problem with not immediately jotting down your notes, is that some teachers feel the need to speed through some material to catch up on the next material so both you and them are not behind schedule. You either write down your notes now, or you'll have to borrow from your friends (who might not write the entire thing) or look it up on the internet which might not even be correct or irrelevant because the book curriculum you study is years behind the actual knowledge we've gleamed today.

[@mastahrage9931]

Ask your teacher to upload the material on google classroom.

[@X-SPONGED]

@@mastahrage9931 some don't even have classes on GC and when I remind them to send the powerpoint to our whatsapp class group, they just forget to. This is assuming they even have the digital material and didn't just use the class whiteboard

Studying and getting great marks has always been easy for me and i have always wondered why. It takes me almost no effort at home to do well on a lot of my tests. The only subjects im bad at are the ones whcih have bad teachers. What you do in the classroom is key but sometimes you can't really help it when the teacher is really bad at explaining things

Things you said about negative self talk is soo true. When I was first introduced to physics I really sucked at it. And then The time came to choose subjects. I really loves science (biology and chemistry) so I had to pick physics. Now physics is my favorite and I am really good at it. You never know unless you try it.

Your really helpfull, can you give a vid on how to improve your essays for middleschool (8th)

[@WORKHARDER465]

Here is a way to do your history , You see when ever the class is going on just remember the teachers is just telling what is written in the book but in better way but if you listened that thing you might understand what is going in the topic and when you read that topic your mind had already made a draft explination of thag topic and while reading it would be easier to understand hence your mind will create a final explaination of that topic, i used this way and socred a 77/80 in my history. Now if you are saying *Bro what about the dates* dont worry about that once you have understand the story of that topic it would be easier for you to learn the dates, so first you have note down all the dates which you have to learn then you stick that on your wall where you study and while studying see that dates every time and try to memorize eveytime you see our mind tends to rember things which we see everyday for ex you dont have to rember where the food is kept beacause you eat it everday, another example is going bathroom now even you close you eyes and go for the bathroom there id a 85% chance you will be safe and enter the bathroom now again on the topic of dates i said watch them and memorize everyday and you will automatically see you abale to remember the dates trust me this will help just try for 5days and see the progress👍

[@DanielSeacrest]

Well, the amount of time you study does matter, but the efficiency of your studying also matters. Obviously if you're 3x more efficient at studying then your friend then you can outperform them while putting in less time studying, but if you (just as an example) "max out" your study efficiency all you have left to do is put in the time.

Umm what I do is I listen, then digest the info... write down notes in my phone for what I understood in my own words... or sometimes I'd just write down a single word as a description or meaning of that term... and in the afternoon or at night I'd take my notebook amd write what i typed onto my phone so it seems like Im also studying But again Id only listen if the topic is useful... not like those... other.. useless stuff... or useless for me

Sir i love that how much you help us. But sir, I am a CBSE student from india I am going to 9th grade soon! For my 8th grade finals, I spent hours learning like I take breaks but I star from 8 o clock in the morning till 11:30 in the the night… I know sir, I should not do it But sir, I didn’t have anything else because our teacher says us to learn question and answer word to word and it took me hours to learn 13 questions (of 1 character) in GS (general science, science) and 10 to 7 long questions in SS (social sciences, mix of history, civic and geography.
