Can you give me tips on how to study better
>>1543597don't think of it as studyingthink of it as something fun and read wikipedia for anything u don't knowthats why america has a better education system compared to every other country out therebecause we value interest over capability
write everything you learn down on a piece of paper.don't type it, actually write it down, with a pen and your fucking fingers, on a piece of fucking paper.you'll remember way more that way.
>>1543600>>1543650Yes, all of the aboveSee it like a quest to get better. (harder, better, faster, stronger). The world is a hardcore rpg.
>>1543597Just like there's software for typing faster, there's also software for reading faster, they're like a life hack:>Spreeder is a speed reading app that helps you read 3x faster, improve focus, and allows you to read at 3 or more times your normal speed.Mnemonics are also like a life hack, they're used for effective memorization. They help improve memory and are really effective for school testsSome books:How to develop a perfect memory By Dominic o Brien The Memory Book by Tony BuzanDeep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World by Cal NewportBrain-Based Learning: Teaching the Way Students Really Learn by Eric JensenMake It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning by Peter C. Brown(College)Cal Newport’s two books : “How to Win at College” and “How to Become a Straight-A Student”How to get a good degree by Phil RaceCoursera free course 'Learning How to Learn: Powerful mental tools to help you master tough subjects"OtherAtomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits by James ClearOutliers: The Story of Success by Malcolm Gladwell Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance by Angela Duckworth
I think the best way to study is to understand the concept. If you're studying to ace tests, you're no better than a subcontinental or a yellowskin.
All of the above are great, but first you have to find out how you learn best These are people who memorise besteht by writing it down, others have to read it, some need to hear it, my sibling even need to move themself while learningE.g. i thought my sister englisch numbers by counting the steps on a stair while walking them
>>1543597take ritalin or some other drug like that
>>1543597Depends on the subject.STEM like math, physics, etc.: do problems, like loads of them, many many more than you think you need to do. Try the problem -> check the solution -> figure what went wrong -> take notes. Rinse and repeat. Non-STEM: rewrite the topic in your own words, teach the topic to an empty class or yourself, verbalize it, not silently, sometimes called as active recall/quiz and recall methodLanguage: use it, for perfectionists, it's better to grind pronunciation and grammar first, depends on the languageFacts and figures: flash cards, it works. Anki is often recommended. But people tend to muck around the settings and plugins and forums, instead of using it. You only need to learn how to make reverse cards and cloze. That's it. Don't go in too deep. I recommend Cal Newport's old stuff before he became the charlatan he is right now. Like his really old blog posts or "How to Become Straight-A Student" book. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLocr_pp31BZe8aaLp3jCYutVTNNac4-ru
if you think your working memory is poor (lose track of earlier details), then improve your working memory by doing dual n-back. Dunno if it's worth grinding indefinitely thoughSpeaking of working memory, there's a theoretical cognitive object called a 'schema'. It's a clump of interelated knowledge. The neat thing is that it only takes up one of your 3 or 4 slots of working memory, despite containing possibly a dozen things. (like chunking). Also at least for me, it feels like these schemas are self-correcting or at least easier to recall.I guess you develop schemas by mulling over how topics connect to each other and perhaps even parallels. Your kidneys rely on diffusion to extract water from urine like alveoli do for oxygen, however kidneys have to go the extra mile to encourage that diffusion by jacking up the urea concentration or smth, because i dunno maybe because urine isn't circular in the same way blood is. The urea comes from the liver converting protein into carbohydrates and chemically that makes sense because protein is a chain of polypeptides which is ammonia + carbohydrate.I haven't tested it out but I think I would have liked to do English literature/art in a more experimental way. Consider an artwork/text that didn't employ a certain technique or style. Would it have a weaker effect and ultimately be less interesting?Looking at an object's history is sometimes useful. You can see how a theory, equation, machine, procedure etc. grew piecemeal in a logical, justified way. This way is time consuming, but you'll certain catch all hidden assumptions and postulates.On a similar note sometimes you might benefit from learning a topic from another source. They might touch on a misconception you have.
>>1543597What types of study? I mean there is alot you can read.
