Best studying technique: Get off TikTok first

[@Koja676]

indeed

[@AnimeWeeb372]

yes

OMG WHY DID I NOT THINK OF THAT! *deletes tictok * OMG IM A A+ STUDENT NOW!!! LOL

Does anyone ever feel like not studying but suddenly after watching this lady's video, you are instantly motivated to study.🤓

[@isabellalala4u]

so trueeeeeeeeee

[@ChunmunGhimire-xv8jj]

Yes… ✨mE✨I used to HATE studying! Well…not anymore WHO wants to check if this really works? I’m a 6th grader rn…20 years from now, I’ll go back to this video and review if this worked or not…for the future generation

[@fedmates1915]

@@ChunmunGhimire-xv8jj damn even 6th graders watching this?? 20 years is a long time and which cannot be completely defined by what you do in your studying years but it depends on various other things. Maybe try documenting each year that would give a pretty nice overview.

Thanks so much! A main reason is trying to get ahead of at least knowing the amount of work you have and being efficient!

[@melodybales2038]

I use a pomodoro specifically for times when I REALLY don't want to be studying. So I can tell myself like 'come on 10 more minutes push through so you can work on something else.' Or if I have along session ahead of me (for a big paper or something) it helps me conserve my energy so that my 'productivity time' is actually using my brain at it's best the whole time. I have ADHD, and focus is really hard for me and gets worse when I'm anxious. Also, now I do a lot of co-studying virtually on discord with my friends :) it keeps me going.

[@MostBoringPersonEver-ww2nk]

As a straight A student here's some advice I take to heart: munch on yummy chips, don't pay attention, ignore your teacher, keep watching these videos wondering "why can't I get straight As"

[@ChunmunGhimire-xv8jj]

What does that supposed to mean…ohhhhhhh okay I get it! YES! GRADES ARE NOT MAGIC! WORKKK HARDDD

[@user-qf8pl3uc8r]

I swear, I will be mindlessly scrolling around on the internet and I see these study videos and then I suddenly remember some homework and set up a whole study space with snacks at 2 in the morning with real motivation

I agree that it's not a good idea to write questions instead of taking notes during the lecture. Although, what I did instead was after I wrote all the notes I needed, I converted these into questions in a word document, but didn't write the answers on the next page - so that I have the mental effort to look for the answers in the lecture slides or other resources. However, I'm still honing my studying skills and I would like to know how to study more efficiently. Thank you ☺

[@azleenaali8442]

My lazy technique is record myself studying/ reading what I need to memorize. Then listen back on it when I am doing chores. Saves me time and eye strain

[@imberrysandy]

My cousin is a teacher, and he can tell when someone is using AI. His main flag is if a student who is a poor writer all of a sudden writes beautifully over night; he checks for plagrism very carefully when he is on a trail At our age, we are too old and cynical for this

[@TheHappychickadee]

The AI thing is total cheating and disgusting.

[@wamyy5]

Agreed

[@player34536]

I heard some companies can actually threaten you and stuff if you do that for academic misconduct. 😂

Ok so for me, as someone who is currently taking 2aps (it’s the max for sophomores), what I did was come home from school, eat lunch, and depending on how exhausted I was from school I would either change into comfy clothes and start my work, or relax for half an hour to an hour before working. Also I pay attention and ask lots of questions during class so I rarely study at home, except for concepts such as French since it is a foreign language subject. What I recommend - and personally this helped me time manage much better than last year where is was getting less than 5 hours of sleep and didn’t have a good diet - is to relax. Like seriously we put so much pressure in ourselves we need to just take a moment and then start with other stuff. I usually make tea, take a hot shower, read a book or go out grocery shopping with my mom before studying so I have a fixed break between school and home studying. Lastly, you need to have something to loo forward to after studying, like a show, movie, hobby or book you really wanna get to because this makes it even better once you’re finished and you are free to get to that activity. Let breaks come naturally (trust me you’ll know once you need a break) and be flexible with methods of of studying. Another thing I would like to add is that sometimes we need to pick priority subjects. So I would work more for French, APSEM and APCSP than I would for world history, geometry or chemistry. This basically helps you direct your focus and as someone who gets overwhelmed really easily it helps me nitpick what is most important and what I can ignore until I finish the rest of my work. I’ve never used blurting since I hate writing a ton, but I have taught others and that’s been the easiest way to learn. Ok this is getting very long but one last thing I wanna say is to rebel once in a while, it sounds stupid but sometimes we need to stray away and change up some stuff. For me, it’s usually every Wednesday, since I get home from school late my entire home schedule gets pushed back a little and I get done with work later too, in this instance depending on my mood I will just study when I feel like it but I will set an end time so I know when I need to stop for my reward❤ loved the video and i agree, pomodoro isn’t worth the hype, neither is blurting

[@Izzymar]

I’ve liked this once, but I’d like it 100 times if I could. You are very organically funny and I truly love your ideas and mindset. Off to go study 😊

[@Lovinglucy]

The pomodoro technique is great when I am memorising in chunks however when I am doing an essay or something along those lines I always find myself feeling rushed and not wanting to lose my trail of thought during the break or just constantly checking the timer hoping for it to magically teleport to break time 😭

[@ninetynine_0]

I actually really like the blurting technique! Before I knew any methods I was already doing this for my bio notes and it really has helped me! Also since I wrote the notes myself it helped. I’m apart of theatre so this mainly how I memorize anything for my play or any of my classes

[@darkmoon2744]

I have done blurting for each chapter before. Am not joking. You will need alot of time to get the memory outside of your brain. It took me an hour to active recall a chapter for 70% accuracy. I did not set deadline on each point i had to active recall. Had i spent more time i most likely could have gotten higher accuracy.

[@HarshanieLekamge]

Wow Amy 🎉 Thank u for telling the practical way to study

[@lubelle626]

I love this!!! I'm def going to share with my children. Especially why NOT to always use those AI sites

Why does videos like this help me more than straight up learning!? When I straight up learn I feel like I get dumber lol.

[@anniesanoo]

This video was funny :,) I haven’t used the pomodoro method either bc I feel like I would want to finish up something before I stop hahah you should also do more reaction videos!!

[@wamyy5]

Hahaha thanks, Annie! Yeah maybe I will do more like this 😊 appreciate the encouragement

[@pessoaqualquer5139]

For me when I'm studying I set alarms for 30 to 30 minutes because it helps me keep track of time. And it helps avoid zoning out

[@Potterhead819]

hi Amy! I watched this vedio now and I usually always read the lesson or my notes and then I look up practice question answers and I write the answer to all of them.Is it a waste of time,should I just follow the same way that you study to save more time ?and belated happy new year!!!!

[@grittypluviophile]

Hi Amyyy can I just say that we're kind of like the same AHHAHHA, these study hacks like pomodoro, blurting method, mind maps, etc. also don't work for me or they're just not my thing. Meditating also makes me more sleepy😂

[@AzwaImanaRashid]

Here are my study tips: - make questions and write answers - do notes with abbreviations, bullet points, etc. - do Blurting: read book three/four times before closing it and quickly jotting down everything i remember. - rewrite notes for active recall (only way to help me memorize) I hope this was helpful!

[@account2-rv5hg]

I'm a Harvard student. The pomodoro technique was a very effective learning method for me. I think the effect depends on the person.

I am just too lazy to write what I study Their Active recall is not 100% for me

[@RameenKhan-rp2lv]

Instead of the pomodoro technique, use the flow time technique. The flow time technique doesn't break your tempo. Watch tube videos to understand

[@Guylovesleep6802]

Honestly how the hell did you find tiktiok study tips that are kinda good ?(like i dont use tiktok but i do know most of the study tips they give there are pure bullshit)

[@MiyaForYoi]

cramming is so ineffective, since your brain only takes in info in 30 minute increments... just cram for 30 minutes, eat dinner, cram 30 minutes, go walk off your dinner, cram 30 minutes, get ready for bed, cram 30 minutes, and go sleep
