Here's my methods!!


🌟-- Make sure you are not feeling terrible! Do something that brings you joy-- eat something you like, drink something you like, listen to a song you like... basically make sure you are in a good headspace!

Other things that may help are setting little goals and achieving them! You know yourself best, so I'll leave this one to you :D

Basically, make sure you feel nice before you start studying. It helps you not become frustrated!


🌟-- Take notes of everything! You'll need them. Writing helps memorize stuff, you can try writing stuff over and over to memorize it!
But make sure YOU 🫵 write it-- only you know yourself well enough to know how to explain a topic in a way you understand. Once you get the hang of what you studied, reformulate it and adapt it into something you could see yourself saying! You don't need to force yourself into an "acceptable" jargon and discard your own vernacular and/or thinking processes when making notes or studying in general!
Discard the myth of the perfect aesthetic notebook (unless you feel like that is what better adapts to your brain)--- make those notes inexorably yours!



  • On the topic of notes, I recommend using Logseq (open-source and 100% free! Available in all devices :D). It may take a while to completely master and the UI may be a bit scary at first glance-- but it is by far the best note-taking app I found! It has a tonnn of functions and ways of using it!



🌟-- Personally, I enjoy jolly and up-beat music while studying. It rises my spirits up! Here's a playlist I like (and am listening to right now while writing this lol) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGmkCIeH3dY&t=794s


🌟-- I also recommend finding different sources to learn of the topics you are studying! Sometimes what you need to fully grasp a topic is another way to look at things! Search and keep searching the web for different explanations of the topic you are trying to learn. I remember once using the marginalia search engine to search for websites explaining how entropy worked, lol. I finally grasped what entropy meant when I visited one of the most obscure sites I ever found-- and it was trying to use entropy to "debunk" the theory of evolution of Darwin... But hey, I now know what entropy is! :D
Other thing you can do is download e-books online of the topics you wanna learn! This is what I usually do nowadays :)



🌟-- Study with a partner! Sometimes the other way to glance a topic comes from the person you are studying with that makes you question how you see things :D

I can't think f anything... Have a nice day :D

Studying in the morning before school is way better than studying the night before. You just have to make yourself do it. What's really best is to study right before the exam if that's possible but it often isn't.
