1. Always aim for 100%. Worst case: you'll do well. 2. Write everything down from the lecture and know your notes by heart. 3. Do all the homework. 4. Be able to redo all your homework without looking at your notes. 5. Be on top of everything, finish everything as soon as possible. 6. Aim to be number one / top of the class at all times. 7. Study the example questions / old exams for the test. My own tip: Understand the hardest examples from the books, the tests are usually easier.

ME major/CS minor here in my third year at 23, started college at 16 dropped out at 18, came back at 20. Ive switched majors TWICE, from Business management, to CS, to now being in ME. Been to jail during my rebellious stint from 18-20, lost friends, and made friends with lots of bad people who didn't have my best interests at heart. Best takeaway I've gotten from life is to remember that everything you achieve, along with everything you fail, is 100% on you, and what you prioritize is what you will excel at. I know people who are DEFINITLEY not the "smartest" in the classes I'm taking right now, (thermodynamics and fluid mechanics) but they're holding A's in all their classes. This is because they prioritize school above all else, sacrificing outings with friends, ditching parties, even missing family members weddings. It's all about what you're willing to sacrifice, not how smart you are.

Very refreshing to hear that being competitive is not negative. I was seriously debating whether I should sacrifice being competitive for the sake of my mental health. I was in a depressive rut where I just couldn't think right. I hyperfixated on grades because that was all I was worth. I had no self esteem and had a very black and white thought process. Even if I scored 0.5 less, I was a failure. My mind just stopped being solution oriented like I was once and focused heavily on where I failed even if I didn't. There was no small win, just a fail. That along with being competitive and I was just a husk of a being.So that way I lost my 2 precious years in undergraduate CS just trying to cope with failure. Its only in the past few months that my brain fog is clearing up and I started giving my 100% and stopped all expectations. Ended up with very high grades after a long time and I am more competitive than ever before .

@@antonlindstrom6541 Let me start by saying you're doing absolutely fantastic 👍👍don't let your mind minimize your succes. As of how I changed, don't know what exactly caused me to change, but I started off working heavily on anxiety and esteem issues, I binged healthygamergg and academy of ideas (cannot recommend enough) on yt. So along the way had lots of aha moments about how I thought about stuff. Working on myself had a direct impact on my grades. I stopped worrying about it completely. Now, in a sheet I write down everything I can do to achieve the best grade and start very early so that I can make plenty mistakes and learn before the finals, I also think of all the ways I am going to fail and take every step in order not to. What I learnt is that when I just keep at it, there is no failure just lessons. It's a win win situation because failure just makes me better, if not now then on the next test. Also some major things for me were to stop comparing, expecting and find positive friends to be around. Hope this helps!!❤️

[@s4ulyaniv35]

I think the anecdote about the girl that was aiming for perfection is quite interesting. If you are too hard on yourself, sooner or later, you are going to crash. Aiming for perfection can cause someone to give up. "Why bother after all?" Trying your best, and aiming for the best, being humble, asking questions, that's the key for me.

[@dismaleclipse5587]

I think it's more so about not being emotionally connected to results. I guess it goes back to the age old teachings of the stoics; there's no use worrying about something you cannot change(i.e. a score). Of course, men have it easier in this regard. Aiming for perfection, being "hard on yourself" and getting a worse than expected result doesn't imply a mental breakdown or similar

[@natemajor6560]

Exactly I’ve been trying to find balance between needing to be the best and trying my best. Accepting my self worth is not completely dependent on my output and results helps

Correct. And know matter how genius or good at memorization you are, with enough difficulty, you won’t achieve perfection.

[@kayceeingram4243]

I discovered a love for mathematics after high school and for me, doing well on exams simply comes down to gaining a true understanding of the material vs a surface level understanding. Understanding that a graph of a function is the visualization of the inputs and the outputs and their relationship vs just typing in the equation and seeing some random line be drawn on the calculator’s graph. I was your typical kid who was expected to play sports since my older brother did, so I played and did the bare minimum in my studies and skated by in high school. After high school I drifted from my friends and spent a lot of time alone and it allowed me to discover my true passions. I was able to get away from the influences of others and discover who I was and not who I thought I was when surrounded by others.

Read the material before class. Take notes but concentrate on understanding. Always record the class and use the recording to fill in anything you missed in the notes. Anything you don't understand get help online or go to office hours. Most people comprehend math best in the morning. Review just before going to sleep. Review well before the exams but intensely just before the exams. Be the last one to leave the exam, keep checking.

[@bar111a.5]

thank you for the video, im a bio student and i have a math test coming up, its the 4th time im retaking this course over almost 3 years. My advice id give to people that havent done good in math is: dont give up! if you can, you must definitely keep going! the good thing about failure is that you get so much info everytime you fail, you know your mistakes so it gets a little easier next time bc you know not to make them again. Also, have perseverance and patience, know that while math can be hard it is also very important for all careers, so its a subject to be well understood and that it might take more time than other subjects. The biology subject was a breeze to me and i loved it, did it only once, history too, chemistry was a bit harder... had to redo the subject, but it was so fascinating i loved it the second time, the thing is: it involved a lot of math, so it took me more time to learn it properly. Give math its proper study time, theres no shame in sitting down and revisiting the basics, maybe there was a gap you didnt know you had (i had many. Craters, even), be proud that youre doing what you can to move forward and know that youll suceed with perseverance, patience and learning from your mistakes.

[@napilopez]

Great advice, thank you. I'm back in achool after a ten year hiatus, trying again for a physics degree after abandoning the major for Philosophy (I dont regret that decision, btw, it wasnt the right time). One of the things I appreciate in my new school is that they make you take calculus I,2, and some linear algebra *before* physics, and I feel so much better prepared for it. Even if you dont need that much calc for introductory physics, that little bit you do need goes a long way.

[@mclainbrown5696]

can you elaborate on it not being the right time? I'm doing a lot of introspection as a first year physics major with a huge desire to succeed, but a fear to give up so many things to put in what it takes.

[@ericesn]

I was really frustrated with my classes and this was exactly what I needed to hear. Thanks Math Sorcerer!

[@BishopLovesPingy]

The thing about failing early being helpful really resonated with me. In my first semester of undergrad (just a year ago), I got a B in a Sociology class (honestly kinda deserved to get worse, but we're gonna ignore that). I always hold myself to overly high standards, so this initial failing was pretty tough to handle. But now I know it's not going to kill me to get less than an A, especially since a perfect 4.0 is out of the question now. Admittedly, my math gpa is still 4.0, and I'm still clinging to that, but I've dealt with failure in some capacity before, so I know it won't be the end of me if it happens again. I find comfort in that.

[@Supercatzs]

Amazing video as always, I do certainly think it's worth to aim high with your goals, if your goal is not to get one hundred percent, you will seriously undermine your own skills and time you put into anything, I've experienced this many times throughout school, which is why I decided to change this mindset to always aim to be the best, it just makes you push yourself and do things you never thought were possible. Learning to deal with failure is absolutely one of the most important things in life. Over summer, I failed a Calculus III course, I was taking two courses that summer, Calculus III, and Differential Equations with Linear Algebra. It was absolutely one of the most challenging academic things I have ever done but I really put everything I had into it, yet, I still failed. It taught me a lesson that was very important: work even harder than you thought was possible, get ontop of your game, and when you think you are ontop of your schoolwork, you're not there yet, you could always do more. On another note, do you ever plan on making a video on giving advise to people who want to partake in math events? For me personally, I'm taking the Putnam for the first time this December, and there is not a whole lot of information about really preparing and accepting for what I'm about to get myself into. I know it's insanely difficult, I struggle with math (like anyone else), but I spend countless hours until I finally get it. I'm quite overwhelmed with how much math is required, and the intuition one needs. If anyone else is in my shoes, reply to me, it'll be nice to hear from someone else in my same situation. Thank you for another amazing video as always, you always provide good insight into learning.

[@boikanyontsimane8641]

Totally right about the failure thing. When I was in high school I did really well and when I got to uni I experienced Cs and Ds and even failing for the first time in my life. It sucks but at least I’m learning how to deal with it a bit better. I’ll try heed this advice and hopefully this next phase will be better x

Experience similar to yours. Physics major/math and electrical engineering minor as an undergrad. Realized in my first physics class that I was one of the only students who had not had calculus and struggled through it, as well as calculus in parallel. Had a D going into the final for one of my calculus courses, pulled an all-nighter and suddenly it all clicked. I think I got a B on the final. Next year or so I took an E&M course that relied heavily on calculus and did so well the other students suspected I cheated. Tests were unsupervised and on the honor system then. I believe I got an A on the course and to me it was due to the quality of instruction from a great professor. Failing grades on physics courses were extremely common. I recall getting a 34% on one exam.

[@anonymousreviewer3816]

I remember the first time I failed a physics class. It was my second year in undergrad, and I was just coming to the realization that physics is as hard as it is fun (that is A LOT!!). Oh it was such a beautiful and humbling experience.. Next year, passed that course with an ok 8/10, but atleast learnt a life lesson or two!

@@WojciechowskaAnnaHard to recall exactly as that was quite a long time ago at this point. I changed high schools after two years and I seem to recall neither offering calculus. Instead, we covered algebra, geometry, and trigonometry in greater depth. I believe at the time calculus may have been considered a college level course. Also, the intro calculus course was not required as a prerequisite in my first physics course in college, I assume because they figured you could catch up before they began to apply it in the course. Anyway, high school is much different these days and both of my kids are far ahead of where I was in high school!

I am in my junior year of college, and most of the bad study habits I had freshman year have stayed with me, the biggest being: 1) not writing down good notes in class 2) not being humble and asking questions when confused 3) not being curious, and over-relying on the book to solve problems Even though I've gotten A's in all my math classes, I've had a lot of boring, stressful, unproductive experiences along the way because of these bad habits. For anybody reading this, I strongly recommend trying what math sorcerer suggested: 1) aim to be the best in the class 2) write down and study everything in the lecture 3) use your time, notes, classtime, office hours, the best you can From my experience, good habits never magically appear "next class" or "next semester" no matter how much you convince yourself. Good habits are chosen. I am just beginning to fail, to ask 'dumb questions', to try to recreate mathematics on my own, and even though it makes me feel uncomfortable and uncertain, my experiences are 10x better than before, and that makes me believe I am doing the right thing.

again really thank you for showing us another better path to follow

[@eiadsaleh3422]

it's like I am looking at me from the future same mindset , same decisions even the same classes glad I found your videos you really are very inspirational to me

[@forsensugarfree]

This is an amazing video. In highschool, i never studied much, i barely passed the exams, i FAILED math with 0% and was depressed because i didn't know what to do with my life. It took me 4 years to realize what i wanna do and now i have to study math, biology and chemistry and retake the exams to get into the uni i want, i must pass with near 100% to get a free spot in the uni, i know it will be hard, but i'm dedicated to it. I'll go for 100% nomatter what it takes. Thank you for making videos like this. It gives me alot of motivation (which i tend to lack 😅).

Dude, you're shredded! I didn't know that.

I like school and want to do well! Thanks for this video, very inspiring and enlightening!

I found a gem at the bookstore. "Vector Calculus and Differential Equations' Albert G. Fadell, Van Nostrand, 1968. Really cool book with some discussion of the Darboux version of Frenet-Serret apparatus. Cool stuff !!!

[@stargazerequiem]

It's the attitude regardless of your results, not the results itself. It's not about being perfect on everything, it's about always aiming for it, since worst case scenario: You'll do well.

[@giamantafederikaelias6446]

Thanks those are wise words

[@gamerscience9389]

i love your story telling, can you make more of this ?

[@ds5375]

I am curious what your thoughts are on Stewarts College Algebra and Early Transcendentals. I picked them up for the first time in my life and was amazed at the structure. The use of font colouring, the illustrative creativity and the 4 sided approach: “Topics should be presented geometrically, numerically, algebraically, and verbally.”

Very helpful video. Thank you very much..

i regularly watch your vids they are really guiding me in right direction once again really thanks

[@abdulrahmanalh9461]

The moment you’ve said that when you’re aiming to a 100% the worst case scenario you’ll do ok, I remembered my father saying exactly the same words when I was at high school, he used to say, son, always try to get 100% grades, when you work for such a level, you’re gonna get out with al least 95% or more

[@nov3316]

i had completed high school when i was 16 after that life threw me challenges that would've taken my family's life. now at 25 (26 in nov) i will start my bachelors in physics since things have calmed down a bit and i can start focusing on my studies which i love so much. very scared of standing out due to my age at the university but i hope everyone there will be accomodating. :] great video my man. love you loads!

[@memeaccount5898]

good luck dude

I am in the same boat, and also very scared; couldn't finish high school due to a cancer diagnosis and its sequelae, been on a hiatus for years. I am 22 now, thinking to start all over again, I might or might not make it. Let's fuck around and find out.

[@nov3316]

@@deogracias8562 willingness to start over after such tragic events in your life is applaudable in itself. i hope you achieve success and wish you good luck.

Thank you so much for this video, sir. Your story about taking physics without knowing calculus was exactly what happened to me last summer semester, there were integrals involved and i didnt even talk differential yet😂Thank you for sharing this with us and offering such wisdom, I am really glad I came across this video.. This video really comforted me as I have a linear algebra mid-term coming up, thank you for the extra motivation.

[@henrygriffin1317]

This video helped me alot. I am a sophomore in High School in Calc BC I've always gotten straight A's in math classes and recently got a 64% on test I studied and tried so hard for, this video helped me see that there is no shame in failing and to not give up don't the clas but to try and work to better my skills in the subject.

Thank you so much . I'll try my best for a 100 . Your videos really help . I know i will never be able to repay you for the knowledge you have provided me with but once i get at a good position in my life , I'll surely express my gratitude with something else than a few words .

[@schooltips5973]

the problem with this is that many teachers think that students dont have life or responsabilites outside school

[@sweetsendaedreamr]

Many students fight for grades they have not worked for. It makes it hard on students who do work. We wouldn't have state exams if it weren't for morons trying to skirt education..making it hard for everyone else.

[@angelaofarrell4368]

This advice helped me alot and stuck with me when I recently had to do a maths exam, it was my third attempt at passing. Needed to pass so I could graduate from my apprenticeship degree end point assessment. Did lots of practice papers and got a personal tutor, along with putting on the time and effort. When I went in for the exam I remembered about aiming for 100. So thank you 😊..it has certainly been a journey 😅

I respect you allot, not only for the maths knowledge but also for the philosophical teachings

[@aki-kq1br]

I am a sociology student, and I constantly grapple with the dilemma of what truly matters and what does not. In my country, university and studies in general represent an opportunity to progress. I always strive not to "lose" this opportunity, with the goal of building a career in Europe or the United States. In its absence, I put in my max effort in university, as the fear of failure haunts me. Stoicism has provided me with a wellspring of reflection and assistance. Therefore, I wholeheartedly recommend it to people who find themselves in a similar position as me, just as I recommend your ideas to some of my peers in university.

[@OldestBillionaire]

Thank you for this video. I am a high school Junior trying to get my act together. My first and second quarter grades have been all A's. I BS'ed my Freshmen and Sophomore year. This video inspired me to keep trying and be the best.
