pov: you started to study too late for an exam

── soft

it's fine sweetie! you couldn't do it because you had other things to do? then that's completely fine, i promise! one bad grade won't ruin your whole future! so just start earlier next time and don't give up now

── medium

well, you had time to study right? show me your screen time. when it's over 8 hours a day, of course you couldn't study. anyway try your best now and don't take the grade to heart! it's fine ONCE

── harsh

well, girl ... you had enough time. i literally don't have any words just thank you for letting someone else win i guess. you need to really want it and don't expect some magic to make you smart. you need to finally believe in yourself.

4 active study methods to boost your productivity

୨୧ leitner system:

-> create flashcards -> label 3 to 5 boxes with study time periods eg: box 1 for cards to be reviewed every day, box 2 for cards to be reviewed every other day, etc. the timeframe depends on the amount of time you have before your test. -> all your flashcards should begin in box 1. review each flashcard, try to recall information on each side -> if you answer a flashcard correctly, move the card to box 2. if you miss it, place it back in box 1. -> continue this method each time you review your flashcards. if you get a card correct, move it to the next box. if you get the card wrong, place it back in the box you picked it from. i really like this app for the leitner system, it has a no-frills design and an in-built spaced repetition for each flashcard you review

୨୧ blurting method:

mainly a revision method, using this activates your recall muscle. the more you test yourself, the stronger the muscle gets. -> study until you understand the object -> take a piece of paper and write down everything you remember -> mark your work, pay attention to detail -> keep doing it until you feel like you remember everything

୨୧ the feynman method:

i already explained this in another post but put it here for yall -> identify a topic -> try to explain it to a 5-year old -> study to fill gaps in your knowledge -> organize what you know and review

୨୧ the sq4r method:

survey: -> look at chapter and section titles -> what do the captions discuss? -> quick overview for charts and graphs -> summarize, and try to get a sense of what the assigned material covers

question: -> turn chapter and section titles into questions -> read the questions at the end of the chapter and/or section -> did your professor cover this information in the lecture? -> what do you already know about this topic? it might be helpful to write these questions out so that you can refer to them while reading

read: -> read to answer the questions you wrote out -> pay attention to captions and section summaries -> pay attention to bold, underlined and italic words/phrases -> stop and reread if not clear -> quality over quantity. slow down if you need to

recite: -> ask your questions aloud. try to answer without referring the text -> revisit the text to answer the questions you found difficult -> recite key terms and concepts -> how would you put the information in your own words?

relate: -> try to link the topic to previous iconcepts you are familiar with -> how does it relate? why does it relate? -> how does this reading relate to your notes? what are the differences?

review: -> after finishing reading, go over the chapter + notes + questions one last time -> schedule time for each day and continue reviewing

an update

hiii everyone, just wanted to drop a post telling you about the recent developments in my life. firstly, thank you for so many likes and reblogs on my posts!!?!?! secondly, i literally love the tumblr community here, but due to some reasons (more on that below), i will be discontinuing tumblr for a while, ie, i wont be posting or opening tumblr at all. thirdly, i finally started using dividers! haha

now for the reason why i am discontinuing, long story short im too stressed and overwhelmed to use any kind of social platform to be honest (it's to the point where i feel like throwing up bcz of how much work i need to do and how close i am to my exams). but don't worry bcz i am practicing positive self-talk, ways of calming myself and getting myself to just start

anyways, i want this to be a time to figure things out internally, instead of going on endless scroll sessions to hoard productivity and manifestation tricks (i love you guys for posting such good content though). i feel like my brain is getting overstimulated, kind of like a kid on caffeine, and yesterday after i tried to create a notion page to replicate a paid template (and failed), i was like, that's enough. i don't need every single productivity tip and task management system that exists in the world to actually be productive. referring back to my latest post, i initally thought that i was a visionary personality but turns out i am a mix of intentional and visionary. i find it hard to start on my goals, to stay motivated and consistent, and i don't prioritise effectively, but i am intentional with my goals and have a strong vision, so i hope that introducing some structure into my life and planning every step of my way can solve the problems i face. aaand i have rambled on for long but thats it or the update <33
