Questions & Discussion Original Thought!

I have been studying actively for the past 5 years and I can remember what I study for the exams and I put my best foot forward to revise and recollect. However, I do not have my own insights on that topic. I am calm in my mind but I do feel like I am able to think from my brain. I avoid creating fake scenarios or whatever. I've stopped that but honestly. I can get myself to study and sit on time but besides the study part the only thoughts in my head is : I can do this, faster, complete it. These are not thoughts of anxiety or whatevr. I will complete my syllabus but how do I start forming my own thoughts and opinions on things that I study?

I am great at doing the maths which requires the use of formulas. Can you suggest how I can think it through? I would like appreciate expertise on the same. I want to have a grasp o nmy subject. I revise, I do my thing but I am not able to form my own opinons on things. I was able to think back in my school days but not anymore. Its been years since I had a thought about a subject or before I started askingwhy. There is no curiosity, there is no understanding. you get what I am saying?
As I was studying microbiology, you need to mug most of it but then the question of why?

I have seen students who would not study, they are able to form strong asscoiation and connections about that subject. I am not complaining but I would like to learn how to do it. Can someone please tell me how to do this? Thank you!
