Hi po! Ask ko lang if ano mas magandang device for studying. I cannot choose between the two eh. Also what are their pros and cons.

so ive got an important exam in about 10-11 days, it it healthy to grind out 10+ hours of study everyday

or arround 5-7 hours would suffice?

Hi, I’m an international student currently in 10th grade in the U.S., and I’ve been really struggling to keep up with lectures in class. It’s not just the language, but also the speed. By the time I fully understand one part, the teacher is already moving on, and I feel like I’m constantly trying to catch up. I usually try to review using class materials or my friends’ notes, and recently I’ve also been using an app called Alt to go back and listen to lectures again, which helps a bit, but I still feel behind. For anyone who was or is an international student, how did you deal with this? Especially for fast-paced classes like math, science or AP. Any tips, tools, or study methods would really help 🙏

Looking for private tuition for ACCA PM, along with mentorship if possible.

Need someone genuinely interested in teaching and guiding.

Let me know ASAP if anyone out there is available.

Memorised my way through A-Levels. Content wasn’t heavy, mostly structured through Point, Evaluation. Easy.

Got into a decent university for Psychology!

First year university, open book. Great!

Now next month, I’ve got five closed book unseen essay question exams. No idea how to start - I’d say one module for a semester is equivalent to a whole A-Level (2 years) worth of content. Content is not staying in my brain just because of the sheer volume of it, I’ve tried mind maps, flashcards, rewriting notes… nothing makes it stick and I’m stumped when I blurt.

P.s.

Being assessed for ADHD next week…

I’ve been interacting with students recently, and I’m trying to understand something honestly - not judge.

It feels like assignments are getting done faster than before.
Code works. Answers look clean.

But when I ask very basic follow-ups like
“why does this work?” or
“what would happen if we change this?”

a lot of students struggle to explain.

At the same time, I also see students saying AI is helping them learn faster and reduce confusion.

So I’m a bit conflicted.

My qualifications: I work closely with students in a teaching/training setting in India.

If you’re a student in India right now:

• Do you feel like you’re learning better with AI?
• Or just finishing work faster?
• Has it changed how you study?

Also curious about educators here - what are you noticing?

Not looking for right/wrong answers, just trying to understand what’s actually happening on the ground.

I will genuinely never forgive my school for giving me the need to feel academically validated while simultaneously setting us up for failure because at no point did they ever try teach us HOW to study.

I don’t know if I didn’t do well because of the mix of anxiety (due to the academic validation need) and lack of effective methods being taught. But I do know that before uni started when I sat myself down and researched everything to do with effective studying and then made it into a digital notebook I immediately felt a weight that’s been on my heart from the beginning of high school lift.

That notebook/study guide I made myself not only taught me how to study but kept me organized to the point studying didn’t feel like a chore but more like a quick thing to check of my check list. And suddenly I was not only passing but passing really well.

This is the tip, learn how to study. It’s all fun and games scrolling on social media watching study content but there’s a difference in teaching yourself what you need to be able to teach yourself concepts and stuff

Am I right or right?

for context I was involved with someone where we started off as fun but I fell in love and i knew he didn't want a relationship but i thought I could change his mind about that . However recently i started having anxious thoughts about this whenever I sit to study ( i have very very important exams going on which I can't study for otherwise also really hard for me to just sit and study usually always find reasons to not study ) so I decided to confront him recently which ended with me stopping it because I hate uncertainty and i can't study like that . I was really sad yesterday but accepted it today and i really really need to get back to studying but i was looking at my textbook for 2 to 3 hours reading one line every 15min because i zone out every 2 seconds thinking about me , him analyzing stuff that happened, analyzing me etc etc and i can't stop , sometimes I am thinking about other things too but for the life of me I can't focus on studying (like the zone in which I can usually read and understand fast) and it makes me irritated and disturbed because I am moving so slowly but my exams is in 2 days ,p.s med student, i desperately need advice to get out of the this immediately. helppp

I have been a good studying student. But we have like a lot of tests recently. And I am really stressed rn. Like I am actually unable to sleep. I stopped scrolling a couple of months ago, and I have become way healthier (physically and mentally).

I have been studying. But I need better techniques than those YouTube study tips for people who don't actually study and need to pull all nighters.

Hi,

Are there people here who are active scrollers but still are able to get good results from their studies? If so, what are your tricks?

Don’t follow for reddit, whatsapp and facebook guys, i have been scammed tons of money finding authentic turnitin access, but thankfully i found an authentic thirdparty tool which provides the same ai and similarity report as turnitin at pennies, plus has built in humanizing services.

Not promoting the tool or anything neither affiliated by them. But i know the pain, and i am really pissed at all the ones who take advantage of our need and scams us.

You can check it out for yourself stealthzero .ai

Thank me later or

If anyone wants to help they could use my referral i will get some free perks though.
