this next one is the number one thing
that I wish I had told myself in high
school hey everyone it's tonyan welcome
or welcome back to my channel I hate
long intros so I'm going to jump
straight into this starting with a short
little summary of my back background SL
credentials so you kind of know who
you're taking tips from also throughout
this video if I'm looking down it's
because I have my laptop I am very type
A this is all my notes so I'm going to
go through all of this start with again
quick little background in high school I
maintained around a 92 to 95% average
every year and this was taking all of
the heavier courses so all the maths all
the Sciences physics bioch chemistry I
graduated with 36 credits and most
people graduate with 30 so of those 36
credits I would say 95% of my grades
were in the '90s I had one or two grades
in the ' 80s but either way I did very
well in high school and I was also
juggling a part-time job and many many
many extracurriculars and I'm not going
to go list them this isn't a job
interview but I was very involved while
also maintaining my grades so that's
kind of my high school background fast
forward to now I'm in my second year of
uni last last year I was in the top 10%
of my program and I also was placed on
the Deans List so that's kind of my
academic background did I just basically
brag for 1 minute straight kind of sort
of this is just so you know why you
should even maybe take tips take tips
from me Tonia and then throughout this
video I'm going to go over my top 18
tips personal tips that I did not find
off of Google these are my things that I
personally use because if you go on
Google and you look up like how to get
straight A's it's all going to tell you
the same things and so this is just
things that I have developed and figured
out from my 20 years of life that I'm
going to share that you can also start
implementing today these are actionable
things that aren't just generic also I
promise that this video is not going to
waste your time like it is going to be a
long video cuz I said 18 tips but these
are going to save you time in the long
run from hours of studying that is not
necessary so if you want to put this on
two time speed go ahead I understand
that we all have a short attention span
these days and disclaimer this is if you
want to get good grades this is not
necessarily tips if you want to retain
and get a a really good education
because I'm going to be honest I got
good grades but I don't necessarily
remember everything that I learned in
all these classes sometimes you just
need good grades like if you're going to
apply to a certain University or college
this is how to do
that okay first up is to find your
productive environment so until this
year I used to do so much work from my
bed back in high school I would work in
my bed and like last year in uni because
I didn't have like a big apartment or
anything I only had my desk my bed I
would often actually choose my bed over
my desk because it's comfortable
however there are a few issues with this
number one your brain will start to
associate your bed with work and so I
wasn't able to fall asleep easily at
night because I created this stressful
environment in my bed so this is mostly
a note for if you're currently working
from your bed because comfortable this
is your sign to oh my God too stop doing
that okay so we've established not to
work from your bed however if you also
find that you're not productive from
your desk because often times your desk
is in your bedroom then find where you
work most productively so for me
personally I actually work great in
cafes I know so cliche but whenever I'm
in there like I am in my zone and I will
get probably three times the amount of
work done if I were in my bedroom
however the thing about going to cafes
is that it can get expensive I found out
quickly so I stopped doing that I only
do it maybe like twice a month if you
don't want to go to a cafe and spend
money all the time then find somewhere
else if you're in University like
somewhere else on campus maybe go to
your Public Library just maybe a public
space it really does help be most
productive number two is listen don't
copy during lectures so basically if
your teacher or Professor provides the
slides afterwards the lecture slides
then don't waste your time copying them
down into your notebook I know it's so
nice to have all of your notes in one
place have them handwritten there is
such a myth that like okay maybe it's
not a myth but people always say like
handwriting it helps you keep it in your
head longer or whatever personally I
think that's kind of yes maybe a little
bit true but it is so much more valuable
in my opinion to be like completely
present during that lecture and just
listen to your professor because if
those slides and notes are accessible
afterwards you can access that anytime
but having what your professor or
teacher is saying live is so valuable
and you can ask questions because if
you're copying down your notes then
you're not really listening to them and
you miss the chance to ask questions
because you don't really know what to
ask questions for afterwards you can of
course always write them out into your
notebook when you're looking on them
online however I recommend if they're
always accessible there and they're
going to be accessible up until your
exam then there's really no point in
copying them down like download them so
you can have them future
years this next one is kind of building
on top of my last one and it's to
practice active recall over rewriting or
rereading your notes couple of notes
here so number one rewriting your notes
I used to do this when I was in the
younger grades maybe like grade 8 9 10
when I wanted my notes to look really
pretty and like yeah they did I did the
whole calligraphy and everything waste
of time and I know other girls around
you are probably pulling out all their
Muji highlighters pens I was one of them
but just because they have pretty notes
does not mean they are going to do well
okay so not only rewriting your notes
but also rereading your notes it's
important to reread them once or twice
just so that you can kind of like
understand the concept but then after
that you should start practicing
practice questions or doing quizlets
like make flashcards anything to do pra
or active recall so you can actually
figure out like what you know and what
you need to work
on this next one is for all of my fellow
uni students not really so much for high
school students but to figure out which
classes are skippable now I know it's
probably not great to be advising you to
skip classes however I often find it's
more beneficial to skip classes than to
be in the class especially if the
professor is useless for example my
current math class I went to the very
first class realized I'm not going to
learn anything from him so I have not
been to a single one since then like
yeah it's probably a big waste of money
but it's a huge saving on time because
if I were to sit there every week in
that 3-hour lecture it would be a waste
of 3 hours I was not learning a single
thing and then also sometimes a lot of
class classes that have all the lecture
slides provided afterwards with all the
content that they would have said in
person anyways I find those ones are
skippable so if I'm very packed on time
that week and I don't think it's going
to be that beneficial for me to be there
I I'll skip it like any day of the week
quick little side note if you're
enjoying this video and you find helpful
please do give it a thumbs up it just
shows me that you like this kind of
content and I know to make more
educational school content like this in
the future and also hit the Subscribe
and Bell button okay let's
continue number five is one of my
favorites and I feel like this is
something that a lot of people don't
really do because whenever I do it I
don't see other people around me doing
it but it's basically to figure out
exactly what you'll be assessed on so
for example during lectures make note of
things that you don't need to memorize
because often times your teacher or
Professor they'll quickly say while
they're going through a slide like oh
but you don't really need to know this
or don't worry too much about this you
don't need to memorize this make a note
in your notes because in a week from now
when you're looking at these you won't
remember which things that your
professor said you need to focus on
which ones you don't need to so
sometimes like yeah I'll put a star
beside the really important things but
also I will put like an abbreviation for
example D ntk don't need to know or DM
don't memorize or you could do like a
symbol of your own just put that beside
the section of notes that you don't need
to memorize and don't memorize it that's
a waste of time memorizing can take a
really long time and then also in terms
of knowing what exactly you'll be
assessed on in University the majority
of the time I don't do the assigned
textbook readings and I do just fine
because so many classes there are
textbooks that your professor would give
you readings or even in high school too
like I had readings and often times I
didn't do them because if your professor
or teacher is good enough they will go
over the the most important things in
class and they'll say like the textbook
readings will be on the test but maybe
one or two questions you won't get
because you didn't read the textbook but
the majority of the stuff they probably
cover in class so you'll be just fine
not reading it and maybe if you have a
little bit of time just read the end
summary at the end of each chapter there
normally a summary paragraph read that
and you should should be a
okay this next one is kind of simar to
like what I said about making note of
what your professor says you should
memorize but also listen to what your
professor or teacher says on how to be
successful so more often than not
especially on like the first day of
courses or your first day of class
they'll tell you like this is what you
need to do in order to do well in this
class or right before the exam they'll
tell you in order to do well in this
exam you should do blank so for example
they'll tell you this exam is going to
have a lot of questions so in order to
do well you just need to make sure that
you know the concepts really well and
you've done a lot of practice questions
so when you get a question you know
exactly how to do it then don't spend
your time you know rereading the
textbook but instead doing the practice
questions that they recommend because
they're the ones who wrote the
assessment this is kind of a given but
if you have a rubric actually read it I
know we always get rubrics especially
like in high school you know the four
different categories going to be marked
on actually read them because that tells
you a lot of how to do well I always go
straight to the level four column and
I'll see okay okay I need to be
excellent in these four things and then
I make sure before I submit it that
these four things in order to do well
are
covered number seven might sound
counterproductive and maybe debatable
but I am huge on taking naps and you
might be thinking okay girl are you
really that busy if you can take naps
yes because naps actually save me time
in the long run so I probably take one
about every other day probably maybe 3
or four a week and I do a full sleep
cycle so an hour and a half I know a lot
of people that when they say I'm going
to go take a nap they nap for 20 minutes
girl no when I take a nap I need to like
get into my PJs set my alarm for an hour
45 minutes so I can get the full sleep
cycle and when I wake up I always am so
much more productive than when I went to
bed and I normally go to like take these
naps right after classes when I'm just
feeling drained and most people when
they get back from class they'll tell
you as soon as you get back from class
you should be rereading them when
they're fresh in your mind girl when
after class I am so tired I'll take a
nap I wake up and I'm rejuvenated so
that is one of my secrets to doing well
and basically the way it saves me time
is because if I were to have not taken
that nap I would have gotten probably a
third of the amount of work done if I
didn't take it just because whenever
you're working you're like tired you'll
reread the same paragraph like four
times or you'll be writing you just like
completely blank off or you get
distracted easily maybe you'll just like
fall asleep at your desk been there done
that too so taking that nap is saving
you time in my
opinion number eight is very
straightforward very simple but it's to
ask questions now this might be obvious
and I know that a lot of people don't
like to ask questions because social
anxiety and they're afraid of what other
people are thinking of them but honestly
people really aren't judging people
aren't really listening in class half
the time I am personally very notorious
for asking a lot of questions because I
want to understand first of all like the
content that I'm learning or number two
I want to understand what I'm being
assessed on for example if you're just
assigned an assignment I will ask a lot
of questions to understand how to do
well on
it next is to use available outside
resources so this one's in particular if
you're a professor or teacher kind of
sucks because I've been there multiple
times and I'm still able to do well in
that class for example there's so many
YouTube tutorials websites talk to your
classmates your peers uper years get a
mentor if you can especially you're
you're in University there are a lot of
mentorship programs you can sign up for
and having someone who's already been
through this class they know all the
inside scoop the secret the tips all of
that also you can access other teachers
and professors so for example in grade
12 my physics teacher was
abolute to keep it light he wasn't good
so I went to my grade 11 physics teacher
and I asked him like is it possible I
could get like any of your notes or
anything and I'm pretty sure that I was
able to get like his notes for grade 12
physics if your professor sucks don't
just sit around there and complain like
do something about it I have not been
back to my math lecture ever since the
first one and instead I'm just using our
math textbook and I learn completely
from that I'm doing just fine so just
figuring out your outside resources that
you have access to and actually using
them this next one is the number one
thing that I wish I had told myself in
high school and it's to set reasonable
goals so if your goals are unattainable
or near impossible to achieve with all
of your other extracurriculars and
commitments then either lower your
standards or commit to less things
because in high school I told myself I'm
going to get either 90% or higher in
every single one of my classes and so I
did that for grade all of Grade 9 and 10
and grade 11 I had a lot going on and I
got my first grade in the ' 80s and I
was literally devastated but having that
such of a high expectation for myself
was ridiculous as soon as I got that
first grade in the 80s I literally
thought I was such a failure and it made
me burn out because I thought I'm
failing like I'm doing so bad if my
expectations were a bit lower maybe even
like 85% or higher that would have been
fine too know what really is important
to you do you really need to have these
grades that badly is there a program
that needs this high of grades and if
there is then maybe commit to less
things number 11 is to try out and find
a time management strategy that works
for you because there are so many online
I'm going to go over just a couple that
I have tried personally that you can
look into number one is eat the frog
that one is to do the thing that you're
dreading the most first first and
foremost get of the way and then after
that you are on a productivity grind
like it is easy to do the rest number
two time blocking you've probably heard
of that Pomerado studying technique
where you study for 25 minutes and take
a break for five and just continue that
cycle the Eisenhower priority Matrix
where you split your priorities into
four different boxes so this is just a
few that you can look into you can also
look up time management strategies
online and figuring out which one works
for you
personally next up another one that I
think a lot of people fail to do and it
could save them a lot of um not
necessarily a lot of time but just help
them a lot with their grades and it's
basically to know the waiting of each
assessment this applies to both high
school and University but become very
aware of what assignments are worth how
much percent of your total grade so this
is very accessible in University and
your course outline your syllabus but
also in high school I know a lot of my
teachers also told us how heavy each
assessment was going to be waited and
then put a lot more time into things
that weigh more this might seem obvious
but a lot of people don't do this if you
have a midterm that's in one class
that's worth 30% and an assignment in
another class that's worth 10% then put
a lot more time into studying than
writing that essay for example because
you could spend equal amount of times 3
hours you know studying 3 hours writing
this essay personally probably takes me
like 6 hours to write an essay 6 hours
for an essay 6 hours studying but maybe
instead spend only 4 hours writing an
essay and 8 hours studying for this test
if it's worth a lot more in another
class A lot of people just see each
assessment as the same amount of weight
weight like heaviness I don't know but
really figure out what things are worth
the most and spend the most time doing
those number 13 is to figure out how you
personally actually enjoy spending your
time so this might take again some self
assessment but figure out like what's
worth your time because we all have the
same 24 hours in a day right sometimes
people say I don't have the time but we
all have the same amount of time it's
just how you choose to prioritize it so
for example would you rather go to a
house party or spend that time doing
extracurricular personally I'm not a big
party person I don't grow out a lot I
would have more fun doing my
extracurricular doing my sport doing my
hobby than going out to a party
personally sometimes you can't do
everything that you want to do so make a
list of your priorities something
sometimes has to give and also don't
subscribe to other people's versions of
fun just because everyone else is doing
this thing maybe it's your friend group
and they're all going to do this
activity that you personally don't
really want to do it's okay to not do it
and spend time instead on something else
that is more important to you or more
fun to
you I feel like this next one has been
kind of a bigger Trend over the past few
years but it's to make studying fun SL
romanticize it and this actually does
help me from time to time not always
here are some ways that I make study
more fun number one if it's a thing that
doesn't take too much like mental
Focus you can study with other friends
especially if you guys are in the same
class and it's like a memorization thing
you guys can make a lot of fun games out
of it one of my favorite games is where
if it's like a definition class you have
to memorize definitions is write
definitions on cards and then put them
all faed down someone will pick one up
they'll read it to themselves and then
they'll describe it without actually
using that word so for example it's a
biology word it's um like mitochondria
you could say Powerhouse of the cell and
then whoever guesses it first they get
the card and they have like one point so
that's a really fun game that I like
playing with my friends when I had like
more content heavy courses you can also
do this if you don't have friends and
you want to study alone Quizlet is great
it's a lot of fun spend time making
quizlets they now have a new AI feature
where you can like scan your notes and
they'll make flash cards for you you can
also romanticize studying by making it
ambient so I like putting my Sunset lamp
shining over my desk lighting a candle
making it pretty or go somewhere pretty
like maybe study in a park if it's nice
weather go to a nice Library just make
it more fun more
entertaining
this next one is not going to be fun to
hear but it's basically to spend time on
the things that you're not good at so
for example if you have two tests and
you only have time to really study for
one then focus on the one that you're
not good at if you have an English exam
and a math exam and I know a lot of
people say like I'm not good at math
then don't spend so much time studying
for your English exam spend time
studying on the topic that you're not
good at and I know it's not fun cuz we
all like doing things that we're good at
but in order to do equally as well in
these classes you're probably going to
have to put in a lot more time into the
class that you're not as good
at number 16 is kind of obvious but it's
to stay on top of your due dates so
figure out maybe an organization system
that allows you to see all your due
dates ahead of time I know people use
notion personally I just use Google
Calendars use a physical agenda if you
need to and having them all listed in
front of you or like on a calendar you
can plan ahead like oh this presentation
is going to be you know here I should
probably start working on that that now
obvious I know but most people do leave
things to last minute and guys it's
actually such a good feeling if you get
things done ahead of time like I
finished an assignment that's due today
like a week ago and it's like out of my
mind like I saw my calendar like oh yeah
like ready finish that feels great try
it number 17 is to do constant self
assessments so for example whenever you
get feedback from an assessment read it
or ask for it if it don't give it to you
and then reflect on that and then the
next time you do an assignment you know
improve from there because that's the
only way you're going to improve that's
the only way you're going to grow really
so this applies to all kind of
Assessments you know presentations Labs
whatever one thing that I personally had
an issue with and still am constantly
trying to improve is time management on
tests I'm a perfectionist so whenever
I'm writing tests I want to make sure
that all my questions I'm answering are
you know the right answers but then near
the end of the last questions those are
the ones where I'm always either rushing
or literally guessing like sometimes
it'll be like 3 minutes left and it's
like multiple choice or something or or
like it's a short answer and I have like
three short answers left I'm like like
oh crap like I don't have time I'll just
like Scribble something down so just
constantly figuring out what you are
weak in and trying to improve on
that last but not least is to have the
right proper mindset I know a lot of
times the thing that really does hold us
back from being the best version of
ourselves as cliche and corny as it
sounds is because of the way we perceive
ourselves so for example if you think
that you're not good at a certain class
or course don't continue to feed your
delusions and saying to yourself oh I'm
not good at math start honestly telling
yourself affirmations I'm getting so
good at math or I'm becoming a morning
person so I can get up early and study
things like that shift your perspective
of how you see yourself and it will
seriously help you be successful not
only in school but in life in general
life advice with
tonyan okay guys so I basically just
spilled all of the industry secrets of
how to do well in school without burning
out I do want to actually end on a quick
little note and reminder that your
grades are not worth your mental health
that's so big and important to remember
and something that helps me stay in
perspective is that tomorrow isn't
guaranteed as morbid as that sounds so
basically my point is don't just try to
get really good grades for your future
your future isn't guaranteed sounds so
morbid I know but instead focus on
getting good grades but also having a
life so that means some of your grades
will suffer a little bit that's okay as
long as you are also enjoying the
present by hanging with people and just
having a good time outside of your
academic life as well editing tonyan
here I just want to say thank you so
much for staying till the end of the
video for getting through this comment
down below what year or grade you're in
so I know if I should make more
University or High School kider content
I love you guys so much and I will see
you in the next one
