in Iran we have multiple choice exams but if your dad or someone in your family fought for the Islamic revolution(and there are a lot of those people) then you're ranking will come up a certain number(in the thousands) based on how close that person is to you so there is basically no chance for academic success considering that the most Muslim person in my family is my grandpa who imported a third of the country's whiskey before the revolution in conclusion APPRECIATE WHAT YOU HAVE YOU'RE EUROPEAN

If the studies you are aiming for after high school don’t require a high overall performance at the final exam (for example art that values your portfolio instead of your grade), you can rely on the grades that you’ve had for the whole year and the tear before (40% of the bac) and concentrate on the remaining 10%, and then just skip 50% of the exam!

1) Avoid analysis paralysis 2) Have emergency fund (i.e., be ahead of class, as it is much easier to fall behind a lot, once you lag a bit) 3) BFS type approach, at least touch all the topics and do a couple questions of each atleast. 4) Know what ACTUALLY makes you FOCUS. and then use it during your study sessions. 5) Use Active Recall, use flashcards, cornell notes, feynman technique, pomodoro or any other shiz, just get it done. 6) Can't bypass effort. Use gpt or other ai tools but you gotta put in the work.

How'd your test go?

[@Supercatzs]

11:02 strongly against this. just find actual practice problems or read your textbook for that specific concept. AI can at times be right, but for the majority of the time, that just simply isn't the case. I gave chat-gpt the steps in a seven step organic synthesis, and it completely botched it from the third step altogether. it's not a reliable thing to use.

[@joshgislason7506]

Other quick tips: 1) if there is a number answer it is probably the one closest to all the others. E.g. A) 2 B) 8 C) 10 D) 12 Is more often B or C, and more likely C. This is because errors are often usually random around the correct answer. Each question is aiming for 20-40% of people to miss it so middle numbers answers provide more opportunities for someone to stumble to an answer above or below the correct one. 2) Longer word count answers are more likely correct than shorter answers. A) (12 words long) B) (8 words long) C) (6 words long) Is probably A since correctness requires more precision than incorrectness. Since both of these are rooted in something fundamental to test taking, even if the test writer is looking for them they are hard to avoid pitfalls.

[@alexrempel3274]

The exception to the length one is questions where you have to choose a re-writing of a sentence. In those, they almost always want you to choose the least redundant (shortest).

If you are trying to learn grammar rules, my best advice would be to write your own example sentences. This is probably extra effective for me because I am autistic, so when I write an example sentence relating to one of my special interests my brain is flooded with dopamine and I remember it forever, but I think anyone can benefit from this. Basically, take notes on grammar rules but instead of copying down their boring ass example sentences, come up with your own! It helps you use the rule in context so you can understand how it’s used.

This is good for question having basic framework but for more complex question requires a way of thinking and thought process which can only be developed by actual practice. As this trick works good in NDA mathematics but for JEE its important to understand and analysis parameters for example while solving a problem we come across 2 possible solution but after understanding the condition of question all possible solutions are eliminated and hence we get (-1) as an award. So practically its good for 20percent questions in JEE but for all question your overall rank will decrease.
