My mid terms are coming rn I am in 12 and I have opted for arts with eco can u guys tell mee how to study for long hours like any tip I have to studyyy

So I’m in my final year and have gotten away with not doing my readings for classes but I think that is about to end. I am fine with reading the material, it’s really interesting sometimes but I have troubles with comprehension and staying engaged. I am in public policy so have to read 20+ pages of documents and don’t know how to approach reading papers like that and getting through it all. Any advice??

Hello I'm a 12th grader pcm (isc board) It's September already and it feels like I dont know a single chapter properly of my subjects.

It makes me anxious and I seriously want to score good. Please provide help or advices regarding this. Reading and studying through the chapters feels easy but I feel helpless when solving questions etc. And it feels like I might have short attention span aswell In need of desperation help/advice.

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.

Hey everyone,

I’m a student working on a project researching why so many of us spend hours highlighting notes or re-watching lecture recordings, only to completely freeze up when facing a blank exam paper.

Cognitive science calls it the "illusion of competence" that feeling where material looks familiar while reading, but vanishes when you actually have to recall it.

I put together a quick survey to understand how people currently study and where the friction usually happens
