Whenever I start doing maths while I'm fully energetic and motivated it goes well for a while up until I get a wrong answer. The motivation slowly fades away and my maths practice comes to an end.
Do you take breaks when you study?

Scan slowly for mistakes had the same problem and it was usually because i was careless/didn’t concentrate
The wrong answer is where you start to learn. The parts you did well are just revision
1. Be aware of your mistakes. Make a list of them
2. Do more past papers
What means past papers

Thank you for including careless mistakes- that has always been where I lose all my marks and there aren't any videos giving advice about how to fix it. It's extremely disappointing when I leave an exam feeling confident, then, I realise that I've lost marks on careless mistakes.
Yea thats definitely the worst feeling. Because if u didn't study at all and don't understand the concepts, you already know that you're going to be getting a bad grade, so you don't feel all that bad when you do receive that low grade. But those times where you really try hard to grasp the concepts and understand them, but still get an average mark (lower than your minimal expectation) due to careless mistakes, it just hurts man.
confidence is a double edged sword

happened to me a week ago 😔 This and a random brain fart fucked me up
I had this problem to if i have extra time after i finish an exam i look true the hole exam again this has helped me see simple mistakes or questions i skipped
I lost 23 marks due to careless mistakes
got 57/80 for my exams
Got a 76 in my last maths exams, need an 80 in the upcoming finals. Writing this post to come back to after writing in a month. Results in the new year, wish me luck :)

Dude you're probably in elementary school
my maths has been on the decline since the start of high school, last week I got my first D. I've only got a few months until prelims, I'm gonna try my hardest to study and get better.
We should start a group/chat , keep eachother accountable and interested
The same for me, i Was Good at Math a couple years ago, but now I just don’t get it.
All the best! If you work at it everyday, constantly seek help from your teacher and online resources I know you can do it!
I dropped maths in Year 12 lol, it never was my thing but I went from getting Bs and the occasional A, to constant Ds and not even being mad about it.
you got your first xD last week
Wow ! I’m so glad I watched this . He gave specifics on how to improve instead of the generic practice practice answer. Thank you 🙏🏾
Excellent tips! Very helpful tips, another personal strategy that i've found efficient in maths is by pretending that i'm teaching the questions or topic, it somehow gives me a better understanding of the topic.
At this point just get a tutoring job
Wdym?😂
@@memeszeus i think there was a scientific study thst mentioned something about "if you can teach it to a 5th grade level, you have a comprehensive understanding of the topic"
Math is basically the bane of my academic life..i could get straight A's on every subject, but Math just kicks my ass to the curb and leaves me crying 😅

I got 36 out of 100 on my half yearly exam. My friends got 80 percent in math. I was in a huge depression after failing on math. But this time I have put so much effort on my studies. And I want to get 80 percent like them. Guys pray for me
you have my prayers

How did it go
@@thisismyyoutubeaccount4360 im sorry for late update but it wentt very cool and im a science student now
this vid literally changed my life , ive been getting 78 and above in 80. thanks!
My last math test I scored 32 out of 100 and all my friends got 90+ and they always brag about their good marks but this time I hope I can get better than all of them
Edit: I tried this out and I got 82% on a math test that I knew nothing about until studying I’m so happy
Edit 2: I’m here a year later to say I should’ve payed more attention last year since I just passed but my plan is to seriously get myself together and get amazing grades this year and I know exactly where to start
Edit 3: this year I’m so successful and am working rlly I’ve never had this too grades 🙂

Same hahaha
Also, a lot depends on your current teacher. I've had some great maths teachers and I like maths my self, but because of my current teacher, I feel super unmotivated to do maths.
I don't even have zoom classes for maths in our current lockdown so i say to myself i want to improve i will put in the time and so i self study, i use alot of youtube resources and other web sources and its fun for me because even though i may spend 3 hours on just my math weaknesses or my strengths i enjoy it because its not homework and there is no guideline. There has another driving force than to be something other than just needing to get the work done otherwise motivation and enjoyment decreases.
I would say for school personally having really horrible math teachers in the past and non existent learning sessions now its very hard to learn and it almost puts you behind because of how well you are able to understand so this is why i choose other sources of self study, a good youtuber is the chemistry tutor anything you can think of, chemistry, physics, math he has it all with detailed or well enough for me; workings out and explanations also very clear to understand and is very helpful. Especially if you are sruggling with an particular concept or understanding.

Till High school my math teachers were excellent and I used to score really well in Maths. Studying maths in college is a whole different scenario.

Math requires understanding by exploring and verifying patterns from various perspectives. It's indeed a fascinating cognitive exercise, which everyone can perform with brain, piece of paper and pencil. Good luck!

thanks for the tips,, it was helpful and informative
Honestly help me a lot thanks 🙏
Glad to hear it!
Thanks for the video, Dineth. I love your non-rambling style.
The advice is very practical with no psycho-babble bs about "believing in yourself" and crap like that. Yes, confidence is key but we get confident when we know the material. I am an unbeliever in exam stress/fever/sickness/panic or whatever. No one frets when they can answer the questions. The key to doing well in exams is knowing the material. I'll say this covers 80% of it. Avoiding mistakes takes the remaining 20%.
Thanks, bro. You are a GREAT help.
Thanks very much, it's real helpful
For me what really helped is just simply making a lot of excersises instead of reading the theory. Once you kind of understand how an excersise works, you’ll also understand the test better. Making excersises a couple hours before the test also helped out a lot for me, because then you put your mind in this focused ‘excersise-making’ position
One thing my maths teacher told our class was to go through examiner reports on past papers. This is a report on examiners making notes on questions that were well answered and questions that were poorly answered. They also include common wrong answers and common errors during calculations. Make sure you don’t make the same mistakes at the students did before you so you don’t drop marks!
My first ever on youtube, and I just want to say thank you man.
Tysm this is my time to really take maths into my hands and achieve well.
I’ve missed out on about a year of school and I could not keep up in tests. I’m barely getting 60%. Recently I’ve switched from gaming to studying as I feel it’ll help more in the long run and journey through life. I’m waiting for term 4 to start so I can view my results and compare them to last terms and see that improvement
Solid 80% baby get Gus noob
Im going into year 11 next year and this has helped me with my last math test
Thanks a lot for your advice. I'm going to try it out and hope it works
Really enjoyed the tips thankyou so much
Thx I usually study early but I didn't quite understand maths
You can do it!
I watched this video at the start of term four for year 12 and it significantly helped me. I switched schools half way through the term and had to try to learn a topic from half way and I didn't go as well as I would have liked but all the topics I had been working on throughout the term and had had ample time for, I made no mistakes in, so thank you.
Thank you that was very beneficial🙏🏻
Thanks for the help!
When i am inclass, all it takes is a few little chats with my friends, the next moment, teacher is teaching the next topic.
SO TRUE-
The only solution to thar is to stop having little chats during class.
Hi, am from Western Australia where we have specialist instead of extension 2 in nsw, I have a tutor who also ranked top 100 in NSW extension2 maths. I'm thinking of doing specialist maths next year in year 11 and maybe 12 but I'm not sure how I should study for all these new hard concepts, I think my biggest problem right now is time management, how should I go with this?
I will be using your advice for my upcoming entrance exam. Wish me luck!
This really helped me thank you so much ❤
Hi I'm Japanese. I realized that what you say is entirely same as what people in my country say. That means the important things in studying never changes all over the world and all the time.
The guy who came first started writing his own questions and solving it. 💀
so well explained
Great advice 👍🏿
The result of the first quadratic equation is x=3 V x=2
Originally I thought the thumbnail said "4th in NSFW". Though, thank you for the help!
Fantastic video mate. I'm currently in university studying civil engineering. In year 12 i studied methods and specialist and i have to say your comments and tips couldn't be anymore true. Tests/exams are a psychological test on top of the subject content. If you can be calm, think clearly, you'll be right. Instead of trying to complete 100 easy questions, do 10 harder ones and focus on your weak points.
I need to get a certain mark to get into my dream uni, watching this now and I’ll try update eventually when I do it in a few months, I’ll use these tips👍
Hi Dineth someone already asked what tutoring you went to other subjects but did you go anywhere for english
I have my final exam of high school. AS level maths in 10 days and I'm only seeing this video now. Pray for me
good luck
I REALLY NEEDED TO SEE THIS VIDEO
thanks that was really useful
hi I’m super late for this but i really really used to love math, it was my pride and joy until i went to higher math classes and my confidence dropped. i really want to get better at math but i’m just so scared. that being said me being scared makes me not practice. i think i should really try to actually sit down and believe you know? i just hope someone cld encourage me to get over my fear :)
Just try to get over your fear of failure. I think it keeps you from even trying. I hope you do well. All the best for your future
How's it going so far?:)
U should just try to understand. If u are just trying to remember everything then that is where u are u going on the wrong direction.
Yoo i got the exact same as you, used to find maths easy but now i feel like im too dumb to get good grades for it
For me I was going great but my grade 7 teacher was the worst she always questioned my method forced me to do it her way not the way I learned saying hers faster then by grade 8 I started to feel insecure which is when you start with deeper maths thankfully I had an amazing teacher who helped me catch up I am still scared
Thanks for the tips! i quit playing video games. To focus more on study.
You got this!
Thank you for your support. Math has kicked my ass my whole life. I just need to finally get my act together and get my brain working again before it rots.

I’m doing circle geometry in spesh Rn it’s some I struggle on any videos you recommend
the thing with me is that when ever I think something is going to be well it always doesn't go well like yea I ordered pizza tonight it will be great but instead it is really bad this started to happen with my grades whenever I hoped to get good grades I always got bad grades but when I thought of getting bad grades I got good grades but sometimes it turns around and I was at that time being body shamed and I got depressed I always liked math but after getting in high school I don't understand any math i understand every other subject but math has became a problem whenever i try to solve a problem (an exercise question) even if i try 10 times it goes wrong every time and it demotivates me but thankyou you motivated me and I will apply these tips and tell share the results again thankyou very much (Sorry if there are any mistakes i am not a native english speaker but i am working on my english:)
I honestly hope you can overtake that! Always remember that we're all in the same boat! Although some have a better and faster one, it doesn't at all mean that you won't achieve it! If you feel that you want to improve that skill, do not give up!! To be realistic, generally, people put pressure on us to do something well and as quickly as possible. However, you should remember to do it for yourself!!! 👍👍🚀🚀

Thanks so much for this😁
Math isn't plural btw, it's either math or mathematics
@@TheRealNiko u get 100 in english or what
U would still be 4th if u got 100
@@ARYAN-bd8op lol what?
@@TheRealNiko We call it 'Maths' here in Australia (and other BrE countries), as in a shortened form of 'Mathematics'. Solving a question requires the application of multiple mathematical concepts, therefore, "Maths" is used.
The original commenter also used the plural form of 'exam', so that cancels out. I think it's important to know that other regions use a different word-choice vocabulary, as trying to school someone purely based on their word-choice is quite ignorant to their own context (which I guess is slightly excusable based on your situation).
@@user-dg3ug7ny5djust because you call it 'maths' doesn't mean it's a proper term.
My previous tests were all around 60%-70% and I really need to have at least 90% in my next exams if I want to have a good enough score that I need for my dream school. Thanks for making this video, I hope it will help me with my math problems.
Thanks so much!
