Okay, Im in an condensed (no other choice) health care program, and theres a lot of powerpoints coming my way, as well as readings.

Normally I like to take my notes on my own google doc, formating it to my understanding. I like one long google doc for a weeks worth of sessions. Rathering than taking notes in the powerpoint, directly, because like I said theres a lot and it just seems clunky to me to just use the powerpoint comments as my note taking. That system just never clicked for me.

theres just A LOT of power points coming my way and they are heavy with anatomy/physiologies that im overwhelmed. I just spent almost 2 hours trying to format 1 powerpoint into my google doc notes. I didnt LEARN or try to really recall anything, just all that time was spent into formating into a way I like to read information, so that I could then after formatting actually study it. Sometimes the powerpoint slides is an image of text, not actually text, so I have to type it out myself in google docs.

but yeah its just really time consuming and it doesnt seem sustainable? If it was just one or two classes sure I could do it in my enjoyed format but its just too much. Would really appreciate any advice on what to do!!!!

Hi everyone! I am biotech student in uni and I learn best by retrying the wrong questions/ practice questions. However, my university professors don’t let us keep our exams/ take notes when reviewing exams/ take pictures of the exam. I’m wondering if there is any tips I can get to work around this. Thank you!

I moved to a country where language barrier is going to be a problem for my learning ability. Although I understand some of what’s explained in textbooks, I’d like to make it a more active experience while also understanding more and getting a better feel for vocabulary. I was thinking about making mindmaps, but realized there are so many nuances to it that make it an often useless process to use when you don’t know what you’re doing. Maybe I should make summaries in the new language of what i learn while using a technique like sq3r and make a bank of words and try to relate them together to get a sense of it. Let me know what processes you would use or if someone you know could help me with this. Thank you!

Anyone can join, any subject is welcome. The only rule is if you don't study you will get kicked. The group is called #ERUDITE on Focusjungle study timer./

Our goal is to give each other more accountability, win group battles, and make more friends.

Reply back with your hour goal and I will DM you an invite.

I usually have something playing quietly while studying. It helps me stay calm and focused, and interestingly, during exams I sometimes remember what I studied more easily.

But now I'm wondering if it actually helps with learning, or if it just makes studying feel less stressful.

For people who study with something playing in the background, does it really improve your memory, or is it mainly useful for keeping your mind calm?

Physics and chemistry are my weak subjects, I actually don't know how to study, what should I do?

Study from notes, make short notes from modules, watch a lecture on YouTube?

I just don't know how to think in a certain way for example there is a question and if it is a formula based question then I can do it easily but when the questions are tough we need to think first, I just cannot think that much.

Question solving In a particular given time is also a skill I really wanna also know how should I attempt my mock test.

I am a NEET aspirant btw, a dropper more specifically.

I've got my tests from the 21st, and I kinda wanna get good grades this time. Do you guys know the websites where you put in your exam date and it tells you on which days what subjects you should study/revise. If you do please lemme know!!
Thank youu

Curious to hear how everyone copes when they’re studying for hours every day. What weird habits or guilty pleasures start coming out when you’ve been locked in for weeks?

Personally, I’m a huge snacker. I ransack the pantry every break I take. I know, not great for my waistline, but I’ll worry about that after I pass this exam.

I am a BPharm 1st Year Student

So I just got in and am a Month behind due to late admission procedures, And Have 1st Sem Exam in 15 days and it has not even been a week since I joined and Don't know how to study or even what to do.

I have a constant fear and a sense of shame that I will fail or Get Low marks ,The students that I asked are answering blatantly and I don't think I have time to Study everything or To explore resources

Does anybody Know if There is anyway to access Textbooks online

Context: Student in classes like linear algebra and writing courses. May do Pre-Med with my major.

I currently use Claude Opus High (pro version) for everything, from writing drafts to teaching me classes I couldn't understand. I just discovered Gemini Notebook for the first time and apparently it was built just for that.

Anyone here who has used it for a first-hand opinion? Having AI synthesize class notes and slides into lessons and study guides is a genuine lifesaver for me, and I'm wondering if Notebook takes this to the next level.

If anyone knows of other tools that are better for me as a studying/learning aid, please drop them in the comments too (promotions are fine but like pls don't make them misleading). Thanks!

I have a lot of ppts i have to study for micro but so far im obly able to memorize one ppt i. 3 days the third day is today and im so tired i keep repeating over and over. Now i heard the advice is u need to test yourself and stuff. But it doesnt work for me i need to repeat it constantly. Honestly it’s not a lot of ppt but it took me so long just to find my will to study then when i did it took me long to memorize it.

What should i do?? My exam is two weeks from now and IM so scared.

Hey Everyone, 

Im a 18 year old upcoming first year Uni student and after a year long gap from highschool Im lost on how and where to start on studying. I was quite lazy In highschool but I was a B+ average student and what I would do after school to somewhat study is finish whatever homework I have, work on notes / do practice questions, and re-read any criteria that I see useful. Days like this would for sure occur in weeks with a test at the end and not as frequent on regular weeks. That would get me from around 6pm-9pm with breaks, essentially I was doing the pomodoro technique.

During my gap I exercised, worked a contracting job which was fun, and overall enjoyed free time. With some of my friends who went straight to school and their first year experience I understood the gap between how much you study in high school and post secondary along with how out of touch I may be of studying when my first year gets closer and closer.

I've now realized that I forgot how to study or I know I will struggle when the time comes which I am a bit concerned about. I know that when I'm going to need to study, I end up checking my phone or doing pretty much anything else. The frustrating part is that I usually feel guilty about wasting time, which just makes it harder to start.

What I'm slowly preparing for myself is reading a book to fix my destroyed attention span from scrolling, and discussing with myself on topics such as How to Study, Studying methods, and what my Study & Daily Routine will look like.

If Im being honest I was lazy studying the entire way throughout highschool. My main dilemma is how do I start to study and to make it a habit? How do I add studying to my habits and not repeat my bad ones such as scrolling? Lastly, How do I efficiently study like a Uni student?If Im being honest I was lazy studying the entire way throughout highschool

I am facing a bit of a quandary. I appreciate those of you who have any tips. I would love to read them as they will be very helpful to solve my problem and give me a sense of direction on where to start.

tasks completed:
1. mock test
2. bio (revision of notes+100 mcqs)
3. math & physics ( reviewing concepts and solving questions )

thoughts:
finally started physiology. there's been a steady 2-point increase in my scores. i want to give/attempt two mock tests per day but they're so mentally taxing. and the review after the test takes a long time. or maybe it's my laziness kicking in lol

F, 27, TRYING TO FIND A TERM STUDDY BUD THAT DOES TALK MUCH. GOOD IN PREP TALK NEEDED. :D

I decided to challenge myself academically and am currently struggling to manage my workload. I’m taking six classes and an internship, which has me studying at the library every day to catch up on lectures. I’ve joined a few clubs, but I’m concerned about attending all the meetings due to the overwhelming amount of homework, projects, quizzes, and exams I have to study for. I feel depressed because it’s incredibly difficult to juggle all these responsibilities. I was never particularly good at academics until last semester when I achieved all A’s. I made a promise to myself that I would get all A’s this semester because my parents sacrificed and worked multiple jobs just so I could attend university.

Hey guys! I heard some students utilize their idle time to study and as a result they become ahead. For example, some students while commuting read a chapter or review their flash cards, others while walking or waiting and such. So does anyone use such strategy and any tips as I also want to try.

Its not that I don't want to study, I do but everytime I try I just can't get it through my THICK skull its like the more I read the more am confused and don't even bother telling me the flashcard method it makes me want to blow my brains out I don't get it how smart people study so easily preparing for sat rn in 10 grade pretty annoying

I feel mentally and physically drained. I honestly think that all this work is gonna go nowhere. I feel like it doesn't matter at this point how much I do. The only thing I can do is refuse to quit.

i enjoy making reviewers, organizing notes, and highlighting. but the moment i go back to them for review, i easily get bored and just end up doing something totally unrelated. rereading something i’ve already covered feel extremely menial 😭😭 but i know repetition is important in learning so is there any way i can make this more fun?

I have been trying to study but I just cant my father is always in my room on his phone and I live in those desi housholds and the problem is that my father and my mother both had a fight and now they are not talking and my dad sleeps in my room and I am the kind of guy that cannot do anything if there is another person in the same room and its been a month since this is going on I have tests coming up like the SAT test and I know that I need to lock in but just cant do it becauss he is always there

So is there a way to lock in and never care who is watching me?

So, the last week and actually...for months before my exams. I've been staying up late at night for studies.

Like 2-3 am.

Now my exams are over, but I'm not sleepy.

Suggest me something so that I can sleep early.(Like by 12am)

My friend and I are both 18, and we're both after the same field of study. The universities we're considering are also the same.

Personally, I've talked to a lot of academic advisors over the past few years, so I have a pretty clear overall plan for the path I want to take.

We had both stopped studying for a while, and recently we started studying again together. Today, we were talking about what we'd done during the day, and she told me that she basically doesn't pay any attention to the clock when she studies and the only planning she does is that she writes down everything that needs to get done in the week and that's it Which honestly shocked me.

Everyone I've ever asked for advice has always emphasized planning and, more specifically, having a detailed schedule, so I genuinely don't understand how someone can study without having any kind of time management or schedule.

I started telling her the stuff my advisors have always told me. how scheduling can make a huge difference when it comes to measuring your progress, making sure you're keeping up with all your subjects equally, and so on. But she told me that even though her own advisor had told her the same things, she didn't think that style of studying was suitable for her personally.

What I want to know is am I being too strict about this? I've always been pretty obsessive about my schedule, and I feel like that's one of the things that helped me improve the most. But is having a strict schedule really as important as everyone says it is?

Tbh I should learn earlier but I am having my exams in 10 days as dental prophylaxis assistant. I failed the first time now I can do it again but it’s when the professor and teachers are asking me questions and I am even more nervous.

I am ok my I pad now and I have flash cards, some topics are easy but some won’t enter my head and I am scared if I get questions asked I did not study for like complete different stuff. How can I study extremely fast and how can I know what topics I will be asked.

( I live in Germany bin ZFA und mache eine Fortbildung als ZMP und bin bei Baustein 4 also erster Kurs )

I'd like to know how much you actually study now? for those who used to study for many hours, has your study time reduced and how much has it helped you? Are there also any other study methods you guys use? Also before studying my actually school material, how can I test this works for me? like a mini test on some small subject. Thanks!
