How can I study better as a STEM major? I think I have that ADD thing that made me retarded. If i put in effort i could be in the big leagues easy and occasionally does but most times i just cant focus man

I mean, it’s too late, right? Like can you even catch up? Even if you somehow get medication, therapy, work ethic, etc.

Why is everyone just telling me that I fucking suck and trying to get me to kill myself here? Does /Sci/ stands for SuiCIde or something?
>>
>>16995585
But you suck? And no one is trying to make you kill yourself, wtf. Most people don’t make it in STEM. That’s just a fact of life.

Study harder and read more.

Design study environment and habit to fool proof standard.
Delaying and resetting rewards so that it builds a sequence of escalating action and reward for starting, sustaining and ending the study. Water, snack, game is my heirarchy.
The start is the removal of distraction and preparing the material and mind into building focus by going over what is left off last time. The ending corresponds to putting every back to a "ready to start next time" clean up state.
The best time to envision a plan is during water break and food break.

Didn’t you see the exam results? Most people (students) are not cut out for STEM. In developed countries, most students don’t even graduate lol. Ask people in your class. Very few did well. Unless you’re in a shithole mickey mouse university, of course.

I've had this exact train of thought cycle through each semester since since high school, and every time I end up disappointed with myself. I'm finishing my BSEE next year and have consistently done mediocre in my classes even after taking adderall. Just accept you're retarded
