I have been using Remnote for almost two months. In the beginning yes it was all free, but now it has started demanding subscription for things like image occlusion, which as you know is vital to studying anatomy. Is this a foreshadowing of what is to come? Will more and more features be unavailable for free? I made it my default studying up but now I am worried that I will eventually lose data. Should we stick to (free) anki???

Hey so as someone with ASD (which is aspergers, but with a more appropriate label since aspergers was a Nazi doctor), saying that anyone with aspergers is a genius, though it is flattering can also be incredibly damaging towards the neurodivergent community. Plus many people with ASD are 2E, which means though they have certain cognitive attributes that help them learn, there will also be certain aspects that are below average and thus need support. So when ASD people advocate for those supports, people will assume they don’t need them because of the autism.

I never understood how people could spend like 12hrs studying on the weekend, even when finals came around I didn't study that much. (I just graduated from high school so this was my experience in senior year)I usually gave myself one hour per day at home to finish everything and 2hrs max per day on weekends because I found that having slept well and a clear head allowed me to study more efficiently. And it also helped not to procrastinate when you know you won't be there sitting for hours and not being able to finish your work, it's way easier to get one hour down and put stuff away.

[@KoiAcademy]

You found your way early that’s awesome

[@cadescableshow]

University is a lot different! I was that kid in high school who just paid attention in class and could count on one hand how often I studied throughout the year. In college, you gotta study. Professors often won’t teach you everything in class (not enough time). Not trying to scare you though! It all depends on your college, your major, how well you retain information, etc. I found I had MORE free time my freshman year than I did in high school (because they keep you in class 8 hours a day, in college you control your own pace *also didn’t have any sport responsibilities*). In the end, PLEASE don’t fall into the trap of studying too much. Use your time well, pay attention in class, and study what you feel rough on. As an engineering student, wayyyyy too many of my peers focus too much on school and are missing out on a lovey social life. Each person has a different reason for studying too much, but they’re almost always bad ones. Going into my Junior year now and I almost always leave Fridays and Saturdays for just having fun and goofing off. Gotta have some time for yourself on the other days too though!

As a lazy ass med student, I like to call it: intermittent cramming. Basically you study intensely, but minimally. It's like a mode that you toggle on and off and it's basically making everything faster and quicker: understand faster (especially physiology and difficult topics), read faster, memorize faster. Weirdo tip n2: studying in a dark environement w/ closed curtains, minimal room decoration and clutting. And VERY BRIGHT lamp focused on your desk. Really help memorize things faster. I studied in my basement because last semester for exams (cuz too hot in my room), and I have never been so productive that in that period, seriously. The best study room is perhaps an underground "interrogation room". Isolated both from time, noise and outsides lights. It's like your memory absorb so much more in less time.

[@animationcrate]

I study like 2 hours a month lmao. I rarely ever take notes and I definitely wouldn't ever review them. The way I retain information is by asking questions in class constantly. A solid 10-20 questions per class per day and I no joke have not gotten anything under an A for any exam or final grade. Studying works for some people but not everyone learns things the same way. For some people, studying might even make you do worse because reviewing notes on a topic that you don't really understand isn't going to change anything. You didn't understand when you wrote them down, you won't understand when you review them. For these people, I recommend instead asking questions about things you don't know. Don't be afraid to ask questions you assume everyone else already knows because if you don't know, most likely others don't know either and you'll be doing them a favor by asking. Look up external reviews and explanations. Sometimes I'll reference video essays on the topics that I'm trying to write about and form my ideas based off of that. Maybe even try to explain/teach the concept to someone else. Often times you'll find that you understand it a lot more than you thought you did because in trying to find a way to explain it in simple terms that others will understand, you'll find yourself understanding it even more. If studying doesn't work for you, then don't beat yourself up over it. If you're spending 10 hours a week studying or 10 hours a day studying and it's doing nothing, then you're wasting all that time when you could be trying different methods. This idea that you NEED to study to be successful in school is silly. When I first started working on cars, I could've read the service manuals a hundred times over but it never would've worked as well as actually doing hands on work. When I was learning physics, I could memorize all the concepts and formulas sure, but none of it stuck as much as me connecting the concepts to my real world experiences. But of course, like I said, everyone learns differently. If studying works for you, then more power to you. It's never worked for me and I'm okay with that. As long as you find something that works, that's what matters most. When my students tell me that they just don't understand the material, I ask them to explain what they do know to the best of their ability and I'll fill in the gaps, but for the most part they actually do understand the material and just let that uncertainty be the reason why they got answers wrong. They doubted their answers so they changed them to what they thought was right, only to be wrong. That's the way the cookie crumbles I guess

Sociology has really helped me out massively in that respect.

[@animationcrate]

 my advice for you is to not get so hung up on the details. What matters is that you become a civil engineer, it doesn't matter if you do it in 5 years, 10 years, or 30 years. All that matters is that you end up accomplishing your goal. To that end, I will say this, make sure that every A and B is a moment to be proud of yourself, and everything lower is a learning experience, not a punishment. Grades are meant to tell you where you're at, not a punishment and certainly not for your parents or anyone else to look down on you for. Far too many students were raised in a way where they do everything for everyone but themselves. They get good grades and the first thing they do is show their parents because they want to make them proud. That's fine, but they should really be proud of themselves first and foremost. Never set goals for others, it's your life. Lastly, you might experience "senioritis" your senior year, but I'm here to tell you that there's no such thing. It's not you being lazy and just wanting to graduate, it's the fact that your whole life you were told that graduating high school was a huge thing and that it's a massive goal. It's been your whole life and you don't know anything else. What's really going on is that you just achieved a big goal for the first time and you just don't know how to handle it, so you ultimately feel underwhelmed, and now that you finished this goal, you no longer have any drive to "reach the end" AKA "your goal" so you really need to make sure to have lots of goals ready. Keep your eye on being a civil engineer and stay motivated. It's your life and you're the one who decides how far you make it, so make the most of it and above all else, enjoy the journey. You'll only ever get to enjoy youth for so long and you'll never get to redo this, so seriously, take it slow and breathe a little. Enjoy what you have and minimize your regrets. Participate in school events, go to games, go to the dances, join clubs, and just enjoy being young with minimal responsibilities. Worry about being a "grown-up" once your bones start hurting lol.

Interesting how different my experience was. I was a high performing student who barely studied all through tertiary education, and I did almost nothing except learn in class. Usually taking notes at the rate at which I was understanding the lecture, letting myself fall behind to think if I needed to. In some harder courses I had to study a bit for the exam in order to learn the things that you only learn by applying your knowledge, but in most courses, it was only a matter of confirming my understanding. I found a focus on understanding rather than optimizing for the exam gave me a bit of an advantage in classes whose professors liked to throw in never-before-seen trick questions on their finals.

Never really token notes and study for 1 to 2 hour (probably 45 minute) and still passes, also it was hard for me to concentrate in class.

[@ipsitaparida4471]

In James scholz’s video he explains that consistency= time x Focus so it’s not only effective asf but also a long period of time and since he’s used to it and built up that drive, it’s healthy too, you gotta have that balance.

How I don't study and FAIL my exams EVERYTIME!!!!!!!!

[@janine8676]

I always study for more than 15-18 hours a day, seriously. I would spend my whole week focused on school, literally. It's so stressful, work keeps on piling up and I can't fall since im aiming for high honors. I always cry it out since my math teacher just make it worse by not explaining the lesson clearly, it's so tiring that i cut myself whenever i get low scores. I don't know what im doing anymore with my life. I fear growing up.

[@losasakarosa9050]

I’m sorry 🙁

[@eeriemyxi]

you can read your maths textbook to get to know how to do it. thats what i do when im stuck with something, either i read the lesson or search how to do it online and you dont really need to study more than 8 hours a day imo. spend more time on something you're interested and then start studying again if you really want to. you sound depressed 😐

[@alan-cl1rj]

If you're in high school, it's simply not worth it to spend that many hours a day for school. Whether it's just as a personal challenge or if you want to be able to go to top, top schools. These top colleges look at the student overall. Their school spirit, their involvement in their own high school, and extracurricular activities. Another thing that is heavily looked at is SAT and ACT scores. I don't remember off the top of my head but many top schools require a score of something around 1300 and 25 respectively (it's different for every school). If this is for college, however, it's still not worth it, no matter the major, to go for high honors. Just aim for 3.2 or higher. Unless you have a scholarship that requires a minimum GPA or if you're in a program like nursing where you need a higher minimum GPA. Schools/employers don't just look at GPA or scores. They look beyond that. They look at how motivated you are for your school and for your future. Any clubs that you join or any orchestra/band or any competing that you do for your school they'll look at all of that. You can even pick up competing in math or reading or anything of the such. Anyway, I wish I could help you a lot more but I really can't since I don't know your situation that well, I would love to know more about it so that I can assist you more. Feel free to DM if you'd like.

[@FireInNight27]

Spoiler. In 10 years time your grade wont matter. Enjoy life

[@jackstirlos]

Hey, I'm sorry to hear that. All I can say is I recommend taking up something you're interested in and makes you feel good (like training your body). It'll be much easier to study if you feel better about life. Hope everything gets better!

[@Idkagoodname-wq8ms]

Lol only 2 a day? I’ve never studied a day in my life putting in minimal effort in class I have all B’s (except Spanish😢) and got 5’s on all my EOC’s.

[@himalkunwar9]

I have morning 6 to evening 6 classes including tutions Compulsary . Then if I sleep at 10 then have just 4hours 3hours I take for homework and rest 1hour eat dinner, take rest and just sleep When can I study then , only Saturdays but that also more homeworks Pleasee reply 🤧🤧

[@ravirawat.49]

I actually used to and still study 2 hours every day. Without any suggestions, even was not aware about this video. And currently, I am on the verge of completing half of the curriculum by myself within 3 months. This is very useful for a person like me, who has to attend 6 hours of online lectures, 3 hours completing assignments and projects, while preparing for my University Entrance Exam and the admission procedure at the same time.

[@if-and-only-if]

pre-recorded lectures worked great for me. live class were pure chaos for me. pre-recorded lectures are very peacefull, lets you time to think when you get stuck.

[@KoiAcademy]

💯%

[@terrasai2857]

Pre-recorded lectures are actually really bad for me because I have bad perfectionism and I will spent 2 hours taking notes on a single lecture. In person lectures force me to write down only what’s important.

[@GreySeashell-j3m]

@@terrasai2857 don't write down during lectures (at least if it's recorded), coz that would make you focus on writing instead of learning. Listen first and _then_ write it down later.

[@RT-eb6vo]

I just had an online instructor led course that I swear was pre-recorded and played back in real-time. I couldn't stand it, so I recorded it using OBS then went and took notes on another subject. Once the online course was finished I replayed it at 2.6x. I think it's all the little things we can do to make learning more efficient that makes the biggest difference.

[@bradleypost8971]

“Only” 2 hours. That’s still a lot, and I’m an incoming senior in college😭😭

[@KoiAcademy]

Maybe you don’t need it cuz your a natural genius

[@clarissaayres2060]

You are wrong. 1. People who ace their exams are typically not geniuses. They are normal people with enough sense to get their priorities right. They simply just work harder and so they get better grades. 2. People who do well do not study less, nor do they want to. There is no substitute for hard work. A person who actually studies for 8 hours will be more prepared than a person who studies for 2 hours, all other factors being equal. It is very simple. Also, these people who do well take pride in their grades, why would they study less and risk getting low scores? If anything, they over study. Don't be delusional and stop spreading wrong information. You cannot do well by spending such a small amount of time. Instead of preaching get-good-grades-quick schemes, why don't you actually talk about how to extend focus so peeps can study more. People, don't believe his narrative that "people who do well are geniuses, but you can do it too with this secret which takes such a small amount of time." Instead, believe that "people at the top work harder and are just a bit lucky, I should work hard, so i am prepared when luck comes."

[@Creym464]

Not gonna lie I study like 3-4 hours of highschool midtest I got average score but i dont like so focus These are my self study technuiqe 1.main point - just like study from videos from teacher video 2.the quiz before test - my school test is 40% come from quiz that they give a week before the test 3.rinse and repeat

Is it a good idea to go “digital” in university if studying subjects like maths or physics with hard to write formulas and geometric figures?

[@Alex_Deane]

Yes because you can color code smoothly the notes for my calc 2 class look so much better and more efficient with online notes

[@bonnguyen8590]

How is only 2 hour a day little? I don't even study. I spend like max 5hr to study spread out within 2 day before the exam if need be and still get 80-90. I heard from my mom and friends that they spend hours everyday studying and review the material in class just to get the same result as me. Let me know how many hour you guys actually spend studying.

[@Agilerr]

"How to Study Only 2 Hours a Day" me who never studies at all:

[@christerranaldo906]

Or just study a reasonable amount of time like 5 or 6 hours: *Wake up at 7am *Start studying from 8am to 11am *Rest for 1 hour *Study from 12am-2/3pm It really is myth that you need to spend 40+ hours on studying. It's much better to work 30 hours for an entire year than burn yourself out within 1 semester. Note: I'm in engineering so we don't really need to memorize things so not sure if my metbod works for things like medical school

[@CG-rr3wi]

Thanks, Creed! I miss seeing you around in the office! What have you been up to?

[@IOwnKazakhstan]

I'm only in highschool and doing great on like 30 mins a day, this whole "only 2 hours a day" shit is scaring me like what. I guess you're going for like best of the best but still like I be getting decent GPAs on 30 mins what tf do you need minimum 2 hours a day on.

[@beakless_duck]

Thank you for making this video. Lmfao i don't find studying for hours on end something to be proud of, I have better things to do in life than mug away.

[@KoiAcademy]

Take back your life

[@neilneilneilneilneilneil]

I always used to tell my friends the reason why we seem to know the work similarly well before a test, but I get 20% more than them, was purely a confidence thing. I don't know how you can build confidence, but once you back yourself everything goes way better. This doesn't just apply to school. Makes all the difference at work as well.

[@vanityyyyy]

I have a job, a side job (design), art projects, volunteer work and clubs along with a full school schedule so it's so important for me to take as little time studying as possible. I also have to spend time with family and help clean. I have to exercise and care for my mental health (I have bad anxiety and depression). It's just insane so like, studying one trillion hours a day kills me inside.

[@beastboygaming8757]

The define one is bad tip Asking “will this be on the test?” That’s just wrong You study for yourself so you can learn something in life Not so you can just pass a test or exams and forget everything after And asking someone giving their notes for the exams That’s just being lazy and still you won’t learn anything because it’s not your work These tips are just to pass tests and exams but the point of studying is so you can takeaway something away and get knowledge

[@jamesklusener]

I'm watching this the day before a test which I haven't studied for (Geography)

[@sipping40s2]

I appreciate these "how I study x hours per day", but why tho? Don't u got family or friends or chores or smth

[@TahaButt]

Thank you so much! 👏🏼 I hated seeing people study for so long each day. I’ve tried it and it leads to burn out so quickly and the quality of revision towards the end of my revision wasn’t good. Not only that but I wouldn’t have time for the stuff I loved doing like gym and KZbin. Little but often is better 🔥

Man, 2 hours a day for 2 or 3 weeks it's great for studying, the thing is people normally "study" ten hours the night before exams and then asks Why did I fail if I studied so hard? :/

[@nsptech9773]

I studied 0 hrs a day and still aced the exam. Yeah we had online exams,lol.

[@KoiAcademy]

[@ImprovementGang]

I have been in a lot of tight situations for exams. What has helped me the most is making a simple list (per chapter) of just the concepts/terms that I need to know. I only write the names (no definitions), and I then realign them from the most important to the least important. I then type out (in my own words) the definitions of the terms without looking at notes. I double-check and repeat. This system has helped me a lot in exams.

[@priyan7shu]

The problem with me is that I don't really study or whenever I'm asked to I sit with my devices and start procrastinating I wanna improve but still can't even tho I'm not dumb but my grades are decreasing

Great topic! Thank you for that. As an adult - I don't have the privilege to glue my back on a chair and study for long hours, even though I did so when I lived with my parents. I am still getting good grades. I feel smarter now because I'm having to do it in a short time. The constraint of time has trained my brain to process information faster. When you have to work a real job - this skill comes handy.
