Transcripts
so during primary school I literally
only did maths English topic science and
PG as my subjects and so when I
graduated and I went into secondary
school I was obviously in for a big
shock because suddenly the five subjects
I were used to were split into maths
English biology chemistry physics
computer science geography history drama
Latin French Japanese music DT art and
Theology and philosophy quite a mouthful
right you can imagine how alien it felt
to me and I'm not even exaggerating
those were all the subjects I had to
take because I just come from a normal
school where one teacher would just
teach those five subjects before and
this was suddenly a massive leap I just
felt like I was run into the Coliseum
battle arena armed with nothing but a
pair of Crocs and for me I was even more
at a disadvantage because not only had I
not had the luxury of studying such
subjects before so Japanese Latin and
most of the subjects of facts were all
brand new to me I live very far from
school so While others enjoyed like a
trivial 10 to 20 minute commute to
school and maybe even 30 minutes for
some people I was taking opers of 80 to
19 minutes to get to school and on top
of that I had music for Less and other
extracurriculars so juggling all of this
on top of the 16 new subjects that I had
to take it was a real struggle and I had
to learn how to balance them all I be
honest I was failing but could you blame
me I had so many subjects to balance and
I actually found my Japanese PL while
recording this video and as you can see
I was getting 10 20% in my tests at the
start it was shocking it was really bad
but by the end of the year I got A's in
all my exams and the same Japanese
teacher couldn't believe it either
because there was such a turnaround if
anyone knows how to balance many
subjects it's me and it's something many
people find difficult as school maybe
it's a couple of subjects that are
holding you back or you struggle to find
the time to study all of them whatever
it is here's how to balance many
subjects at once as a student before we
go on my brand new program the student
accelerator is finishing its special
pre-launch sale on the 1st of June 2024
it's helping students all around the
world become the top of their class
without being naturally smart or having
to study for long hours if you're
interested click the link below to watch
a free master class that I put together
showing you how to become that student
in all aspects be sure to take advantage
of the offer after so the first thing
you have to do is prioritize so when I
first had all these subjects to do and
it was like my first week of school I
did the most logical thing after I come
in from school I around 2 hours and so I
split it equally amongst my 16 subjects
Al so 120 divid by 16 and what's that
7.5 I had 7 and 1/2 minutes to study
each subject and now you can see the
problem 7 and 1/2 minutes is nothing so
after I sit down and chose my favorite
music track the 7 and 1 half minutes
would be over so I had to rest
strategize and I've talked about this
principle a lot in my other vide videos
but I don't think I explained it well
enough so if this is the line for
Success you have to cross that line to
pass the class get the a you obviously
it's pretty self-explanatory you have to
get past that line but by focusing on
all 16 Subs at once trying to push all
of them towards the success line like
individually so I'd like move maths up
one then English one and everything up
by one trying to do that one by one I
actually didn't get to the success line
for any of my subjects as they see the
man who tries to catch two chickens
catches none I've explained this before
but you really do have to prioritize if
we are just focused out all the energy
instead of of spreading it across 16
subjects I just focused it into three
suddenly I found success in three of
those subjects instead of failing all of
them I was suddenly getting A's in three
and once you've learned the content and
put in the time and got the effort to
get it past the success line maintaining
it at that level is relatively easy just
so as you review it little but often
just even a couple of minutes a day not
convinced you only have to do one set of
chest exercises a week if you want to
maintain your chest muscles in the gym
but as soon as you want to increase that
as soon as you want to push it as soon
as you want to like see gains in your
chest suddenly you're having to do four
or five sets a week that's why the girl
who took 28a levels which by the way is
insane because most people here only
take three a levels and still struggle
she worked in this way she worked
through one subject in its entirety one
course at a time and then she moved on
to the next because once she push it
past the success line maintaining it's
easy but if she had tried to push all
208 subjects in the same way all up to
the success line she would not have been
able to do that maintenance requires
little effort and it's making progress
and increasing your knowledge that takes
effort so I realized this and what I
started to think was okay so maths
English science and topic I already did
that so I could focus on these less for
a little while since I already knew a
lot of the stuff and then I thought what
subjects are cramble and which are not
the scientists are new but they came
naturally to me and they're mostly like
just content and memorization based so I
figured I could cram them I'd always
read books so English was pretty calm
and math was also fine because I mean
you know why so suddenly the 16 subjects
were down to 11 and that was already
manageable and then Arts music DC like
these subjects I didn't really need to
study for either just pay attention in
class and they practical their Hands-On
kind of subjects so as long as I pay any
attention in class I was fine and so
that's why for the first time I only
focused on Latin French and Japanese but
why firstly they were brand new subjects
i' never done them before but secondly
they were languages and languages are
the one type of subjects which you can't
cram for and it took a while but since I
was only focusing on three subjects I
rapidly made progress in them you guys
can agree as long as you do your
homework and listening class the lessons
aren't actually overly complicated so I
did this for the other subjects that
maintain them whilst focusing while
grinding on the languages but slowly and
surely I was confident in them and since
I had already bu up proficiency and was
good at those subjects I moved on to
Humanities history geography and
computer science and then I brought
those up to a high level as well whilst
only doing like 2 minutes of Japanese
Latin and French vocab as to not lose my
knowledge in those and soon I was in a
good spot for all 16 subjects and of
course that's a very very simplified way
to view it and a lot of things went into
it other than that but you have to
realize that this success bar exists and
maintenance is the strategy once you
bring it up you maintain and then you
move on like that I'd say to split your
school time into fortn nights 2 weeks
and seeing those two weeks you're going
to focus on specifically a group of
three subjects make those your priority
and level up in those it seems scary to
prioritize certain subjects while
neglecting others because inevitably
you're going to see like the other
subjects they're just going to maintain
at like the sea level you're not going
to see improvements in those but the
thing I say is that I was literally at
that point where I was focusing on all
subjects at once because I was scared of
leaving like some behind but the thing
is you're not leaving them you're coming
back for them would you rather not make
the finish line for any of the subjects
like costing and fail all of them or
bring some up maintain them and then
bring the rest up because I'm telling
you that works and as you can see it
worked for me because I got AED by the
end of the year you have to think of the
long term you're not seeing the big
exams right now so there's no point in
trying to bring them up all at once as
long as you get there by the end of the
year so splitting your time up into
fortnite and then prioritizing what
you're going to focus on then is a
really effective way to do it and as I
said before the man who tries to catch
two chickens catches none focus on the
cool ones first and then move on and
another tip I have for studying multiple
subjects at once is to study similar
subjects together although many people
argue that like after you studi math you
want to do English tring bury it up and
like make it so you're not tired of like
math-based subjects I actually disagree
you should study overlapping subjects
together I always studied maths and
physics together I always study biology
and chemistry together and I always
study r& DT together Latin and French
together why because they're
interconnect they share a lot of the
same content so by studying the same
group of subjects together you're
actually able to spend less amount of
time studying for them because by
studying for biology and then chemistry
her love is already overlaps and then
you've already study for a lot of it
same for Latin and French and same for
the other ones this overlap is one you
want to look for because there's love
subjects and if you study for them
individually the 16 subjects that's like
16 subjects amount of work between like
the similar subjects if we can imagine
there's like even just a 25% overlap
between them that will shave off a huge
amount of time you have to spend on them
so for your subjects group together
which ones have kind of overlapping
topics if there are any and then start
to plan your study sessions in a way
that you study these subjects at the
same time it will enhance your knowledge
and also make it so you remember the
same thing for longer because if you
think about it like as I'm studying
chemistry I'll be like oh like the enzy
so yeah we cover that in biology and
suddenly I've made a link in my brain
and your memory is just a collection of
these links neural Pathways and so by
making it between subjects it makes it
possible because you're studying similar
subjects together so utilize this to
your benefit and do that many subjects
can be daunting and just like I showed
you earlier I was there I had it worse
than anyone like being overloaded by
these subjects it felt like such a huge
jump but think of it as a seasons and
take it step by step and a calculated
push in certain areas will make it so
that instead of this all like taking up
mindset you want to be pushing some at a
time that's how you make progress once
