nine study tips I would have killed to
know I've been gatekeeping these for
years but you're a real one so I'll let
you in on the secret make sure to stay
tuned till the end where I'll let you
know my coolest steady tip okay I've got
my bowl of pomegranates make sure to
grab a snack and get a notepad to take
some notes number one have a big
motivation no it's not cliche if you
think it's cliche then you clearly don't
have a big enough motivation it could
literally be I want to be better than
this person for example if it feels you
to get to the top of every homework and
exam then it works number two less is
more before every single exam you'll
usually receive a mock test usually we
get a packet that we can take home so as
soon as you get that packet dit your
homework for the days until your exam
Focus all your energy into that one
packet since that's what's really going
to prepare you for the test sometimes
the teacher will also give you page
numbers to do in a textbook don't do all
of them it's better to get a general
feel of the subject than Master at only
one one point right so what I do for
math test is I'll usually just do the
first and the last number of every
single page remember hard workor doesn't
always pay off I'm not telling you to be
lazy I'm just telling you to be
smart to cut so if you're really
studying last minute remember to only
choose the hardest numbers to study
number three for very important exams
I'm talking about finals and tests that
make an enormous amount of your grade
find the same exam or of the same
teacher or like the same subject online
that way you'll know what to expect from
the test or you'll know what style your
teacher likes to ask questions again
remember to study smart all teachers are
different so you have to think in their
shoes look through your notes and ask
yourself what you would ask if you were
the teacher for example number four
flash cards are really good but to take
it a step further you can make your
friends make their own and then try out
theirs number five stress stress is
actually good what when you take the
test you're going to be stressed right
so you must be able to think clearly
under the stress you can practice that
by making your friends quiz you on a
subject
so the day before the test me and my
friends will randomly pop quiz each
other throughout the day who knows maybe
they'll catch something you missed
number six shout out to my fellow
YouTuber Evelyn if you're one of those
people that need complete silence to
focus you can put on white noise in the
background for like 10 minutes and then
you're going to pause it and your world
is going to be so silent you're going to
go into Peak Focus mode number seven
favorites you associate something you to
memorize with something that you like
for example the periodic table has seven
periods I'll learn that by making a link
to something I love for me I love BTS
and BTS has seven members period and
that's how I remember it number eight
this is a method I started using this
year is using a ugly highlighter
basically what you're going to do is
you're going to pick a highlighter that
you don't usually use for any of your
other notes here's mine any question
that pops up or any word you don't know
just highlight it and then if you have
any questions or anything you can write
it in pencil and then just highlight it
so what you're going to do when your
teacher asks does anyone have any
questions it's going to be super super
easy cuz you don't need to flip through
your notebook looking for circles you
only need to look for that one ugly
color lastly number nine method of Loi I
actually don't know how to pronounce it
but here's the
pronunciation in my opinion this one is
the coolest of them all basically what
you do is you associate key points of
the thing you need to memorize to key
rooms in your house let's say I'm trying
to memorize protons neutrons and
electrons for example I'll say my room's
a proton my bathroom's an electron then
all you got to do is you're going to
walk through your house to memorize them
and after walking through your house a
few times you can mentally walk through
them during free call so did any of
these tips help you go let me know down
below thank you for spending your time
here see you next Sunday
bye
