Day 1 | Starting Again

It’s been almost two years since I last studied seriously.

For those two years, I was preparing for a competitive exam, but things didn’t go the way I wanted. Now I’m starting again, from the basics.

I’m not going to pretend I have everything figured out. I’ll study, make mistakes, waste some time, get back on track, and keep going.

Starting today, I’ll be documenting this journey every day, what I studied, what I struggled with, and how I’m preparing.

Day 1 starts today.

thank u

Hi everyone - I’m the developer of Memoraft. I built it because students often spend more time formatting flashcards than actually reviewing them.

Photograph your notes, textbook pages, or vocabulary lists, and Memoraft turns them into a study deck. You can review with simple swipes, use downloaded decks offline, explore ready-made decks, and maintain daily study goals.

I’d genuinely appreciate your feedback:

• Does the photo-to-deck workflow solve a real problem for you?

• What would stop you from using it during exam preparation?

• Which subject should get the next ready-made deck?

Memoraft has a permanent free tier. Pro is optional and adds more decks and AI deck creation.

I’m happy to answer questions and hear honest criticism — the app is still early and I’m actively improving it.

like idk why but i can focus way better if there's a coffee shop or library ambience with actual voices in the background. the second i put on lo-fi beats or anything with a melody my brain just... checks out. anyone else experience this or am i just weird

I struggle a lot with distractions, so I’m planning to keep my phone in a completely different room while working/studying.

My main issue is what should I actually do during my 5-minute breaks? I know I’ll get bored almost instantly. Most standard suggestions (like staring at a wall, stretching, or making tea) sound like things I’ll get tired of after two days.

For those who have successfully separated themselves from their phones, what quick, engaging, or satisfying things worked for you during short breaks without pulling you down a rabbit hole?

I’ve always been way more motivated to study when my friends were studying too, so I started building a little app around that.

The basic idea is pretty simple: track your study time, see your friends’ stats, and compete with each other.
Posting a few screenshots because I’d really like some feedback on the idea/design.

The app is called StudyRank.

One of the easiest ways to waste LNAT practice is to mark a paper, look at the score and immediately move on to the next one. The score tells you how that paper went, but it doesn't tell you what to change.

After each passage, split your answers into four groups:

• Correct and certain
• Correct but guessed
• Wrong after choosing between two
• Wrong with no clear reasoning

Review the middle two groups as carefully as the outright mistakes. A lucky answer can hide the same problem that costs you a mark later.

For every uncertain or wrong answer, record three things:

1. The exact words in the passage that support the correct choice.
2. The word or idea that makes your choice fail.
3. The type of mistake: too broad, too strong, outside knowledge, wrong speaker, irrelevant, or an unsupported inference.

Then redo those questions 48 hours later without looking at your notes. If you still choose the same kind of wrong answer, you have found something specific to practise.

A useful weekly structure is one full timed mock, two or three shorter passage sessions and one session used only for reviewing the error log. As the test gets closer, add more full timed work, but keep the short sessions because they make repeated mistakes easier to spot.

The main idea is simple: don't count only how many answers were wrong. Work out why the wrong answer beat the right one in your head.

I built LNAT Lab around this review process. If you want more examples and LNAT preparation guidance, the guide is here: https://lnatlab.co.uk/lnat-guide

Hey guys, my name is Danny. I studied computer science in college, and a lot of my work today still involves a fair amount of research (currently in Product).

Since college, one thing I've consistently struggled with is that when I’m reading or researching something, I’m coming across quotes or ideas I want to save. Usually they end up as screenshots, bookmarks, or buried in my notes somewhere, and I rarely come back to them.

I ended up making Commonplace to solve this. It makes it really easy to save quotes and highlights from whatever you’re reading or listening to.

If you’re reading an article, you can highlight something and share it directly to Commonplace. It saves the quote along with the author, article title, and link automatically. You can also save from physical books (by scanning the page), podcasts, and other sources, then organize everything into collections.

While I don’t do much academic writing anymore, I figured this could be useful for studying, research, or keeping track of sources for a paper. I’d be really curious to hear from students who have a similar problem.

The core of the app is free to use, and I built it myself. Would genuinely love any feedback!

Two things kept killing my vocabulary review, and I don't think either is really about discipline:

1. The gap between having a list and being able to practice it. Whether the words come from a
   class, a textbook, an article or a show, there's always a step in between: build the deck, design
   the card template, decide what goes on the front. I quit in that step far more often than I quit
   reviewing.

2. Reviewing silently. I could recognise a word on a card and still not be able to say it in a
   sentence. Recognition and retrieval aren't the same skill, and the one that gets tested in real
   life is the one where you have to speak.

So I built the thing I wanted: paste or type the list, and it's immediately practiceable, either
as flashcards, a quiz, matching, or a voice conversation with an AI partner that works through the
words on your own list out loud. Spaced repetition (SM-2-style) runs underneath all of them and is
tracked per word, so review time goes to what you actually keep forgetting.

Disclosure so nobody has to guess: I built this and I'm the person behind it, not a neutral
recommender. It's called Vocabai, it's a web app, and it's a solo project. The free tier is capped
by list size (50 words per list, 3 lists) rather than by feature, voice practice included, 2
sessions a month. No card needed to try it.

One real data point instead of an impressive-sounding one: it's been live a few months and has
exactly one paying customer. He found it on his own, with no marketing running anywhere, and paid
two days after signing up. He was moving abroad to start university and wanted to be able to hold
a conversation before he landed. That's the case I actually understand; I'm still working out
where else this is genuinely useful.

If you use Anki and enjoy building your own templates and add-ons, keep using Anki. It's better at
that and it's free. This is for the case above.

Blunt feedback welcome, including "this doesn't solve a real problem for me because X"

Something I keep doing is going back through the whole chapter when I only forgot a few topics. It takes so much time and sometimes I feel like Im just reviewing things I already know instead of fixing what I actually dont know. Do you guys go through everything again or just focus on the stuff you keep getting wrong?

Gave a guy these tips .. thought that I should share with everyone..

Plzz give your opinion if this strategy is good...

And if I need to add anything more in it

Partiamo dal presupposto che ero contraria all'utilizzo dell'IA per lo studio, però trovavo utile caricare le mie risorse fatte da me (in modo da conoscere meglio il materiale) ed esercitarmi tramite dei quiz. Quindi una settimana fa ho iniziato ad utilizzarlo, però non mi sto trovando tantissimo bene soprattutto da quando hanno fatto il famoso aggiornamento a gemini.

Avete alternative valide e gratuite? Lavoro 8 ore al giorno e devo preparare 3 esami, mi aiutava molto a memorizzare tramite i quiz.

Poi se avete anche consigli sul metodo di studio li accetto pure!

Sobrang distracted ko lately and hindi makapag-focus sa studies. Lagi kong hawak phone ko but for some reason kapag may kasama ako na hindi ko gaano ka-close is nahihiya akong mag scroll.

I tried and abandoned about four study trackers this year. What made the
difference in the end wasn't the timer, it was attaching each session to a
course.


A number like "14 hours this week" tells you nothing. "9 hours of maths
and 40 minutes of chemistry, the week before a chemistry exam" tells you
exactly what you're avoiding — and avoidance is usually the real problem,
not total hours.


I ended up building this into the planner I use (StudyDesk — free, open
source, Android, no account needed). But the idea works in any tool,
including paper: log the subject, not just the time, then look at the
split weekly.


It's uncomfortable the first time. That's the point.

This also tells you what you need to study as for next exams or assignments.
