Please make a video on self improvement ( where ever I go try to talk to other I feel left out no one like and sometimes I say and do some wired things and I shouldn't do ) please a video to improve are self so I couldn't feel left out

I'm a teen but my height is 4"8 as 14 year old, please help me out

[@Styx_007]

For personal use 1) do qs instead of just reading the notes. It'll help in active recall 2)only check the notes after trying to solve multiple times with multiple methods 3) Feynman technique, just record what you're studying. Physics, chemistry stuff and listen when you're free. 4) devote majority of your day for question practice 5) repeat your mocks for increasing speed 6) don't loose focus. You must do this rn. So just enjoy, listen to music, treat it like a video game. Ignore other bs. This should be your only priority. Don't fuck up.

[@UnknwnAWKND]

Active recall - make quizlet or flashcards and "gamify learning" - Learning curve, knowledge is forgotten unless constantly used Feynman technique - Teach information in easy terms to a friend or to no one and record yourself Spaced repetition - works well with active recall - Want to be able to do a "quizlet or homework" 3 times, spread between 3 different days Priming - Visualize, close eyes and think why this is important, visualize you knowing the material - listen to music, my opinion 40hz gamma music, but personal preference is key - get your brain excited to study Optimized breaks - time spent studying doesnt equal material learned - use naps or nsdr to your advantage

[@MorganMindsetClips]

I've been going down the rabbit-hole of study tips but found it hard to wrap my head around them all, this video summarized everything that I've read, seen and heard. Thank you so much. I will save this video and come back many times.

This was what my school did to all of the students and I thought it was crazy to drill past papers and tons of questions but yeah I did get straight A’s. Can’t believe I was already doing this 20 years ago.

Thanks for the video Collin , in 1.5 weeks I’ve got an exam which is inclusive of 4 subjects collectively. Will put these tips into action and update my progress .

[@IntellectualChad]

[@noralovesstrawberries]

Good work Collin! I’ve been watching your videos in the morning before heading off for school and on days I do that I feel so much more productive and I have so much more ideas. I also tend to get a lot of work done on those days. I’ll save this for tomorrow because tomorrow week I have a quiz in a subject I’m not necessarily the best in and I want to make this quiz experience different because I notice I’m big on procrastination with studying. Have a good week everyone!

[@IntellectualChad]

Much love

EZ

[@habidaone]

If you wanna ace your exams, theres only one best thing which is doing practice questions. The reason is your actually doing what youre going to do in test and it makes you more familiar with the questions.

[@cattelgibson5354]

Thank you

[@marcus-wv9ti]

Could you please provide guidance on how to apply these methods for studying coding more effectively, with real-life examples, particularly within the field of computer science? Your videos are great, by the way.

[@greypie2005]

Bro you saved my life

[@hotrodgt66scarbuildsandmor46]

Hey Collin, think you could make a video on investing your money towards yourself? Such as supplements, and just useful items that you can get that can improve your looks and lifestyle etc. Maybe even for skincare? Thanks

[@ishan4467]

I cannot tell you how much active recall actually helps- I studied for my GCSEs in one month and managed to get As in everything except math where I was just 2% off from an A. Active recall really works if you do it right

[@jasnasidhikh6427]

Thank you bro 👊

[@j.r.chen30]

Start studying earlier with spaced repetition and active recall, and feel way more prepared than spending the same amount of time cramming the day before 📚🎓

I actually like the Feynman technique so much ❤ It helps you understabd the subject matter under the pretence of teaching it in simpler terms 😂

[@IntellectualChad]

[@ife_michael]

@@IntellectualChad Thanks bro ❤️

[@Hiroko-gm8ru]

Hey Collin! Could you please advise me on this matter? Specifically, is it preferable for me to create digital or physical flashcards? Although digital flashcards can be created more quickly, physical flashcards are still effective. So, what advice would you give me regarding this matter? In the future, I hope to see you post a lot of videos and gain a lot of subscribers.❤

[@tiziocaio101]

What’s your strategy to remember as many informations as possible during classes?

[@ellavic.09]

I had a SAC on Thursday last week for my VCE and I got cocky and thought I didn't have to study for it because I "knew it all". Ended up just passing with a 57% which is really bad. So in one night JUST ONE NIGHT I was like "okay my ACTUAL SAC is TOMORROW (Friday) I really have to study" and what I did is I just got my Dad to read out things I needed to remember and I kept trying to say the definitions, this went on for like 1hr 30mins. Finished the SAC got my results on Monday 90% IN ONE NIGHT??? LIKE WHAT

[@blessingumoh8562]

In, Quizlet you have to pay to use it

[@user-dd3ec8uq4w]

Can you make a long video? So we can listen to it while doing tasks

[@yn020]

In order to learn complex defenitions, u need to memorize them What is a simple effective way for this?
