hey ...suggest which youtube channel u follow for your studies

How to do well in chemistry 1. Pre read, group into tables and write down formulas and basically write down everything 2. Fully understand before going to practice papers. Practice. Practice. Practice. 3. Go to your teacher. As much as possible. 4. Practice your papers, increase speed and accuracy 5. Write down the steps and how you get the answer. Don’t rush but also don’t take too much time for certain questions. 6. It is a slow process. Have the mindset of “learning” rather than “studying” Giving up is not going to speed the process 7. Persevere. Chemistry is a tough subject. You will find the beauty in it. You will understand it, be patient.

@@veronicajata3121 you can do it sometimes people dont get chemistry right away it might take you many times to pass but dont give up. I'm a chem major and this past fall semester I started doing lab work and I messed up. During one lab session I broke a test tube lol. More specifically try to understand where u are falling short and why. Failure is something to help you realize the gaps in your understanding and it should be used to help you succeed instead of just letting failure be something that makes you feel better. Dont quit because struggle is often what births great things. If you give up you may never get to experience those great things. Last thing. I'm a chem major but got a D on my very first chem exam. Nothing in life is easy but keep working and dont give up I believe in you :)

[@drfifteenmd7561]

Pre-read (previewing the text, making presumptions of the text for connections to previous knowledge so that you can build off it during the actual reading so that it’s easier to understand). Annotate/make lots of notes in a way that makes most sense to you during your lecture and after. Summarize information into tables he says, yet I find splitting information into section summaries more convenient. However, I can understand the thought process since it further forces you to further condense important information into easily accessible pieces, which is a form of independent problem solving as you build efficiency in summarizing important information. Group similar mechanisms together so that you can easily refer back to them later, and I said something along those lines already under “Pre-read”. Write down every single thing the professor wrote down whether in slides or information professors emphasize during lecture.

I’m in grade 12U chemistry right now, my mental health coming into the beginning of the semester was horrible and I’m starting to get better now, but throughout the entire semester I didn’t do good on tests at all, I didn’t study and now I’m coming up to exams (and I’ve never written one before because of covid)just passing at %53 and I’m terrified. I was failing all of my classes at one point because my mental health but I’m passing now yay. Now 2 weeks until exams and I have ever felt so bad about myself. I’m just so disappointed at myself. I started studying a week ago so I still have a lot of hope to pass this course if I study really really hard. And you are right going from grade 11 chem to grade 12 chem is a HUGE change. I’m a good smart student and I love that I recognize that but this past year has been rough! I am going to pass my chem exam and I’m going to study better now because of your tips! Thank uuu sm

[@kleollle681]

I remember when I was in 10th grade I wrote my first A in chemistry in a class of a teacher who didn't believe in me at all, but still it really motivated me. I actually started liking chemistry. The teacher still wanted to give me a bad oral grade eventhough I always tried my best in his class(in Germany you have an oral and a writing grade(basically your test grade) that make your whole grade). Sometimes I feel like loser because of those teachers, I feel very anxious around them and about making mistakes. How do I let go of that feeling? And how do I stop caring about someone being better than me in school? I have seen so many students who seem to learn everything so effortlessly. I'm now in 11th grade and I'm taking chemistry and biology as my classes that will count more in my A-levels or in Germany "Abitur" for the in Germany called qualification phase(12-13 grade).

Hey, ich kann deine Gefühle absolut nachvollziehen, habe selbst dagegen angekämpft. Meinen Erfahrungen zufolge werden sich die Lehrer, mit denen man in Konflikt steht, nicht verändern, was jedoch keine Voraussetzung für deine Gesundheit sein muss. Ich habe meine Psyche nur durch mich wieder in Ordnung gebracht. Du musst verstehen, dass die Lehrer auch nur Menschen sind, schlechte und gute, und die einzige Möglichkeit dich nicht wie ein Versager zu fühlen, ist, anzuerkennen, dass sie Bullshit reden und du eigentlich eine kluge, einfühlsame Person bist. Du schaust ja auch nicht jedem Hund hinterher und bellst ihm entgegen. Die Lösung ist also, wieder dein Selbstbewusstsein zu erlangen. Mir persönlich hat Literatur geholfen und auch das Hineinversetzen in die Arbeit. Auch empfehle ich einfach mal alleine herauszugehen und die Zeit mit sich selbst zu genießen. Es mag vielleicht banal klingen, aber es hilft wirklich (am besten gehst du an einen schönen Ort, nicht einfach um die Ecke). Sry für den langen Text, nur bin ich selbst davon betroffen, weshalb es mich auch emotional macht. Wir haben die selben LKs btw.

I write an explanation for how I got the answer on the hw and keep copies. Hw is how you study it. 80% of chem 1 is metric conversions. Also here’s a good tip for metric conversions as this kills most people in chem. If you can’t figure out what equality statements to use, just divide what you want by the sum(COUNT from the exponent of factorials on your prefix table to the value you want and making it positive or negative depending on direction) so for example nm to m is 10^9 for the denominator because you go from 10^-9 to the base factor m. Nm to deci is 10^8

How you manage learning during exams and h. Ws??

[@emmalifetube07]

Last year I got 86/100, it is not bad but I am supposed to be a "straight A's student" so I want to improve that for this year

[@omgboxsl5315]

i like your videos thanks for the tips

[@NathanWu]

You're so welcome

[@J.brytni]

Thank you hun

[@shubhramoudgil4271]

I'm in chem honors in highschool right now and I really really like chemistry. I do well on the practice exams and practice problems and I understand what I am doing, but my grades are just not it. Also my teacher barely explains problems and how to do things effectively and quickly, he just gives us a few problems to do without explaining anything.I have no idea how to improve and I want to get a good grade because I really like this course. Do you have any idea on what I can do?

[@NathanWu]

We can't always rely solely on our teachers for learning. Use your resources - textbooks, online videos, etc.

I am taking chem in college and I am already struggling but thanks for the tips.

[@NathanWu]

Chem is hard, but if you put in the work, you get the result

[@alwinatjiveze3079]

I will do so⭐

[@amranahmed5032]

I love chemistry

[@tammerry9496]

Would you read the chapter before lecture. To be honest I struggle with reading the chapter before lecture and I ended up failing alot. I come to realize that reading a textbook at a whole isn't for me. I like it straight to the point.

[@j.e5998]

I just hope I pass tomorrows test, chemestry have been my “enemy” since forever, I like it sometimes I hate it other times, wish me luck I will need it 😣😣

[@YunKoda]

right now my chem class is really hard for me and it is the only subject I'm having trouble with. I don't understand most of the things and today I failed my pop quiz due to me being in pain and not feeling well... I wasn't in a mood to do test and didn't pay attention that much... Im in 10th grade and my only goal this year is to pass all my classes with straight A's I don't think its gonna happened any time soon my class only notes about energys right now and I'm hoping to do the math part cause I'm good with math and understand it pretty well. Chemistry and science are not my thing TwT

[@pokeiswho]

just went from 11th grade to 12th and in about 3 days i have my first test its abt Chemical Thermodynamics. I wanna do well this year right from the start

[@DhanpreetGillRealestate]

Need this video cuz I’m trying to get into the university of Waterloo

[@NathanWu]

I'm manifesting it for you

[@lauralehrman6609]

Organic chemistry is what I’m taking and I don’t want to cry like I did the first time I did it while testing I did well in class and answered the questions correctly and when I tested I failed. I am going to mail it I know I can but have no help outside of class

[@darthmaul7434]

I should have watched this video before instead of watching 10 minutes before my chemistry exam

[@muturamroland6361]

I finished yr 12 and had failed my chemistry but not giving up I still try my best , hoping and believing thatnext time will be better than my past.i have the problem of examine the level of units one after the other ,I'm mean main concept and I ask would can tell me about little bit.....

[@abc1239383]

Where can I find more practice questions since most school test/exam questions aren't the same as quiz or homework questions?

[@inarawr4363]

I'm in highschool and Chem really sucks but now that i am realllyyyy working on it, it seems like i can do it if i try, but mental breakdowns before every tests😭💔💔

[@demitriajett1491]

How do you study for timed test, with a clock counting down in your face.

[@davidyeh5147]

Hi Nathan! I would like to ask how do you memorise chapters in Chemistry that have tons of content?

[@NathanWu]

Focus on more on understanding rather than memorizing

[@mikes3667]

Great video! How do you suggest the best way to manage study time?
