its great that you've decided to take responsibility to make yourself better so early on. I wish you the best of luck and remember to take rests as well.

[@nova111a]

yup, same

[@fwoop4848]

Middle school can be rough, personally middle school was not too bad for me but for a lot of people I know their grades really started to drop in middle school. I’m talking A and B students going to C and D average students. Make sure to take it seriously, I feel like if you don’t focus in middle school it’ll definitely be harder in high school because middle school is like a foundation. If you have a weak foundation the rest of it won’t be as good. But you don’t have to obsess, so take it easy on yourself sometimes ok? :)

[@joshithaka3080]

Congrats on taking responsibility,but make sure to enjoy a bit as well as high school is anything but easy,get thorough with the concepts with understanding,as the base of high school lies in middle school and this is the time you create great memories, so have fun and enjoy learning.

[@anon_n9591]

It's really great that the younger generation gets to get resources like these. Before I just took notes thinkng that the information will stick in my brain, but nope. I kept doing the note taking method bc I had no idea what other effective methods will help me study better. Until recently, I noticed that talking to myself and teaching my topic myself while looking away from my material helped me a lot!

2:50 YES my old school used to make us study only by taking notes. We took tons of note every single day for every subject and we were taught to memorize every bit of it for our exams. MOST students ended up forgetting what they studied by the time exams ended including me. I got in a new school in a new country and their teaching technique is way more different + effective. I've come to enjoy learning again bcus I am provided with more resources and materials that I wasn't provided with at my old school such as visual, audio, wifi, etc.

[@havanapagaja4424]

love this sm annie!! this was actually really helpful and motivating :))

[@arijeanz]

i find that something helpful is to record yourself explaining a concept. my math teacher used to say, if you can teach it to someone else, that's how you know you've learned it well. so recording yourself helps to make sure that you really internalized an idea bc you can concisely express it. you can also play back the recordings to review some more if you're on the bus or doing dishes or something, which i find really helpful. i think this works best w subjects like history or english, which are more abstract, but it can also help remember definitions for stuff like chem or bio.

this is so helpful. honestly as a high school student, i always thought doing well just came about by simply studying harder. the more you study and the more time you put in, the better you will do. what you put in is what you get out. but over time, i’ve learned that studying is a skill and its an art. its so much more than just spending a lot of time on the material. my previous conception of studying was incorrect. with that being said, thanks so much for the help!

[@puzzledindividual2126]

Pro Chem tip from a high school grad who took three years of chem and never got less than an A: - organicchemistrytutor and Professor Dave explains on KZbin are really good at explaining chemistry concepts and problems (Dave is more conceptual and chem tutor is more problem solving oriented) -Usually the best study strat for this subject is to just work on a lot of practice problems. Don’t be afraid to fail or trip up in the beginning, start simple and work your way up to more complex problems. Make sure you understand a problem before moving on to the next though. Gl to y’all n happy studying :D

[@majka5050]

i dont know if its just me, but i study the night before - sometimes even ijust in the morning and it works. the evening before the test i just read what i have to know few times, then slowly repeat it in my head. when i go to sleep i repeat everything in my head and in the morning its glued in my brain... ive never learned more than the day before and i ALWAYS get excellent grades. hope this helps

[@yuivibes9429]

These are actually really good tips people! I've started realising this after years of struggling to study properly.

[@PeachyKeenTeen]

I'm going into my third year of college and the best tip I got from this video was the planning to hang out with friends after a test! It's super easy for me to get caught up in the endless amount of things in my to do lists and go, "Okay, I finished this big exam, now I need to start working super hard on this project due next week..." I already do like a reward system during my study sessions, but I never thought to incorporate a reward like after I finish with a test or project cause for me the reward was always the idea that finally I'm done with it.

[@etheliaowo7533]

My problem isn’t studying too much, not at all. During 10th grade I gave up, I stopped studying at all because everything especially math started getting so difficult, so out of reach that I felt like I couldn’t do anything about it. It felt like no matter what I did I wouldn’t understand it so why even bother. I still passed thanks to the support of my friends. But I’m worried for 11th grade, in less than 2 weeks we go back to school and I really don’t want to repeat giving up, but I don’t know how to motivate myself to understand things I don’t understand.

making notes for myself:: get wide before getting deep - start beforehand and overview everything... do practice problems as checkpoints without worrying about getting everything right... then do lil mock tests closer to the test, active retrieval, return to sth you struggle with instead of everything. film yourself - inquiry based learning - attack the problems where.. make the most difficult... seek help asap, tutoring sessions with tutors... 3 days before the test - mock tests / redo spoken presentations or rewrite 1-page summaries;; the day of the test:: good sleep, after the test - hangout with friends right after school, creates an upwards momentum anddd avoids burnout;;; do the hardest problems during your peak hours and hw do when the brain is not at its fullest;;

it's so cool seeing a video like this with my actual study method 😂 nothing else ever worked for me, like note taking or studying forever. so im happy i was taking advantage of this method when i was in 7th grade because it brought my grades from an A- to all A+ 😊 im not quite sure how im doing so well because i never pay attention in class either (nobody "like me" in school does, but we all have amazing grades 😭😂)

[@blu-steel22]

The thing that helps me the most in getting good grades is that I’m great at concentrating on things I feel like will be needed so I concentrate a lot in class and everything the teacher says just somehow gets imprinted in my mind and when I’m about to study for my test I read without revising at least 7days before the exam and the day before the exam (means the exam is next day) that’s when I study and revise

[@justatami5811]

When u have tests every week every term: We get a schedule at the beginning of the term telling us which tests we have each week, sometimes we have break between them but that is very rare! We start school on Sunday and end school on Thursday, my fridays are my break days but then I revise again for my tests on Saturday because sometimes I have after schools or homework on week days. I don’t know why I needed to tell anyone this but here u go 👍🏽😃
