ABOUT ME
My name is Gohar Khan, and I'm an MIT grad helping you succeed at school. I make videos about study strategies, college applications, and occasionally, my day-to-day life. I want to equip students with the tools, knowledge, and resources they need to realize their academic potential.

1 like = 1 hour studying (pls guys i have an exam in 3 weeks )
I literally went on UA-cam to watch some nonsense in the middle of doing an assignment because I got bored, I'm currently having a sort of academic downfall my grades have gone from all A's to almost all C's and some F's. I am gonna try these tactics in this video and check back in a few months when the year is later with an update.
Yep
This is exactly what’s happened to my grades. I use to get A’s and B’s. I’m gonna try these tips too.
Yeah
Me too bro
You are not alone
1. Ask yourself why your grades aren't where they are supposed to be:
a. overwhelmed (too much on your hands)
- cut down to make room for stuff that matters
b. distracted (you're just distracted by too many things)
- silencing phones and turning off notifications
- time limits
- put the phone in a different room
- declutter your mind and space
- white, pink or brown noise
c. struggling (struggling to grasp information)
- leverage every resource
- study partners and AI
- the Feynman technique
d. lazy (you're just not bothered)
- Passive studying - re-reading textbooks, rewatching lectures, highlighting notes
- Active studying - doing practice questions, pretending to teach others, rewriting notes in your own words
- visualise yourself getting your goals
- visualise your worst nightmare
Finally someone that summarized it
Bro is goated
summarising seems to help in terms of studying and understanding... so thanks
Y'ALL GOT THIS
GOHAR TOO LATE IM DEAD
Yeah, thanks! I have a test coming up next Tuesday and your tips have really helped me prepare. Your videos are great!
Gohar I love your videos ❤❤ they help me and others much!
Yep
GOHARRRR bro u saved me thank you
The fact that I’m surprised 73% is shown as a bad grade on the thumbnail just shows how low my standards are
It's not shown as a bad grade, unless you're in college. It just shows what difference and improvement you could make in your academic studies
Asians pretty much consider 73% a fail and he prolly grew up in an asian house hold
Less to be desired in college
To me a bad mark is honestly 95%
@@user-hi69 you haven't gone to high school yet most probably.
My BIGGEST tip for anyone is to think of life as one big SPEEDRUN. Trying to speedrun everything makes life so much more fun because you’re going for a better time rather than just completing an assignment you couldn’t care less about. Like in the mornings, I get up, start the stop watch on my phone, get ready for school as fast as possible (even discovering tricks to be quicker) and then I track my times. Might not directly help you be motivated to do a science project, but it’ll definitely increase your baseline dopamine
Not sure thats how it works buddy
@@Toastyjyit works for this person but maybe not for everyone
4:28 tooo
Actually a good one👏
That's not how it works, you have to make smaller improvements daily instead of doing all at once. This is also said in the Japanese Method of making improvements *Kaizen*
One of my biggest comebacks are in math.
I had 66% to 84% overall. But in math it was a big difference.
Went from 16% to 94%. Not only it is high grades but it was highest grades in my class. Math was my weakest subject but it is my favourite subject now. I also started to get interest in the theories.
I had some days, and I had to make my base strong. With days of hardwork, I achieved this. Once the flow is made, it must not be broken.
I am struggling with your old problem right now.... your comment inspired me so much 💙🔥...btw if you have more tips that help me just let me know plz 🙏🏻
@@KahaleObay in math. So do some set of questions and mark which one is hard, and practice those questions. everyday you do math for atleast 1 Hour. Main thing is that you don't have to take it as a burden. If you started getting interest and fun you can do as much as you can. One day I did a whole unit(206) questions In one day cause I had interest and courage to do it.
@@KahaleObay but before doing the questions. The concept *must* be clear
@@AmanNgmOP i got this ..thanks a lot 💙😍😍
@@KahaleObay All the best. You can do this 👍
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO I DON'T FEEL LIKE STUDYING ANY MORE. LOTS OF PRESSURE IS DIVERTING MY FOCUS.
That's why you gotta gain discipline man, you gotta think about the long term
Take frequent breaks and monitor your mental health. Try to find and stop the sources of your pressure, or use mindfulness techniques to better your stress tolerance. Keep calm, follow Gohar's advice, and try your best!
@@verycoolboy458 It's the same for me. I live in India where every student has to study 12 subjects and sometimes that is not enough, so my parents enrolled me in 8 extra classes (which sums up to around 16 extra classes a week) outside of school. I barely get the time to stay at home. Most of the time I only get around 6 hours of sleep.
I used to be the topper in my class but in my current grade which is grade 9, my grades dropped. My parents expect a lot from me, it makes me depressed that I can't meet their expectations even though they are spending so much money on my studies. Now, it's even harder to focus cuz of all the distractions.
Furthermore, I am the shortest and weakest in my class. That's why everyone bullies me and makes fun of me. I am currently 15 years old and only 5'1" (in feet and inches) even though my father is quite tall.
Also, I have a pet dog who loves me the most but due to my study pressure I can't find the time to play with her or take her on a walk.
My situation makes me feel sad and depressed. Idk what to do...
Just know that once you start your tasks the pressure will start loading off your shoulders, just dive in!
4:06 What you said is true. I just entered 11th grade a few weeks ago and man its not easy. I come in both, the overwhelmed and struggling categories. I was a straight A student ( not all the time, like 90% of the time) And when i met other students who were better than me, i couldn't believe it and eventually i did what Gohar said, I had to let go of my ego. Now I am working to improve my academics. Thanks for the advice man.
What an interesting thing to watch in the week right before APs
Right?! 😭
Im cooked bro. I have two APs in a week and SAT saturday
@@williamsweeney5249 Cooked? Why the bad spirit?
I believe you can go through education and surpass it
@@williamsweeney5249Bro 💀
Bro dropped this a lil too late 😭😭
skill issue imo
Its not about skill stupid@@prinzexisalowqualityytber
@@prinzexisalowqualityytber The video of you showcasing the Spirgo P3 Pro (ua-cam.com/video/pRpHMr8kJQs/v-deo.html) was trash btw and you sound like a baby.
Its finals for me 💀
@@psslayer1 me w chemistry and geography finals tmrw
You couldn't have uploaded this video at a better time, I've been pretty much struggling with all the 4 points you mentioned, I went from a B student to a D and F student in a matter of a few months, I'm trying to improve on it now. Thank you for making this video Gohar, I'll try my best to adapt to the advices you gave.
It’s kind of hard when you’re at the lowest point of your life to get your grades up from F’s to A’s but I’ll try
you don't know how much i needed this video. thank you gohar
I love this video so much. Taking a lot of aps right now, and feel the pressure and the stress. More specifically procrastinating. But I feel inspired by this video to work on myself.
Thanks for the tips Gohar, I am motivated! Architecture, here I come!!
Yess I want to become an architect!
it's crazy how every time I go to your channel there is always a video updated the day of
The best study video in all of UA-cam no cap this is life changing
This video is helpinf me so much i went from top 10 in primary school off my brain alone and no studying starting highschool was difficult and i had to adjust and cause me to lose focus but now this video has helped me to pick myself up and start studying and revising rewriting and blurting my notes especially in subjects i hate like accounting or geography but now i have the motivation to start even if its 9:04pm and i need to be sleeping and that grayscaling my screen will be 100% taking place for exams
This has helped me a lot not gonna like, my exams are starting in 3 weeks and they are coming very quickly. I'm struggling keeping my focus and i know i can easily get straight A's if i focused. And i was more of a passive study person but since i saw how much of a difference this makes I'll start changing the way i study thanks a lot and hopefully I'll come back here with good results in about 4 or 5 weeks
This is the type of video i wanted thanks Gohar
Hey Gohar
Thank you for these tips
Could you make a video on how to choose a career it has been really hard for me to choose one
the interesting thing is that i'm subscribed to your newsletter the studious student and just read it a few mins ago. it was on this exact same topic and now I'm watching the video!! great video and thank you for making me realise what an awesome student (academically) i was. I NEED TO GET IT TOGETHER AND ABSOLUTELY KILL IT THIS YEAR!
Thank you brother, you have changed my life
Thanks man, I have a speech coming up and you've been helping me a lot.
Hey all, as you can see Gohar provides information on not only study tips but also what we should use and how to use it and to be honest even though my report cards are filled with A and As this video is a gamechanger for life and school
More highschool side hustle videos please
9:46 I do both active and passive study, it's better because when I read the textbook it clears all my doubts and after that, I try to do some practice questions and highlight the important points.
Thank you so much, this was exactly the video I needed!
I’m a high school student and I went to a very small middle school, so I never had to study and still got good grades, but now I’m going to a school of about 1600 students and I just don’t find the motivation to study at home since I never had to. Tysm ❤
Thank you so much,Gohar.
The advise with the AI is great. I used it multiple Times now to explain me things in way less time than normal and I could ask my Personal questions. Thank you so much for the advise. I am doing a "comeback" right now and it really helps :D
Gohar...I don't know what to say. It kind of feels like your in my life and help me to succeed! I really need to get a good grasp on your content as well as doing so too for helping. Each time I watch your videos, I feel like your right there next to me taking notes on what wrong I'm doing. Right now in high school... Thank you so much for your support in helping me!
THANK U FOR MOTIVATING ME
I’m currently sitting at a 54% in my grade 11 university functions and I’m just struggling to make things stick. It’s very frustrating seeing the work being put in only for a minimum of it to be shown. However, I’m glad that before hand being at a 48% and putting in the work is showing. I just gotta keep going 🙌
54 for functions is crazy how is that even possible bruh
Last semester of junior year
This advice is definitely gonna help, appreciate it gohar 🤝
I understand your pain bro, I'm also a junior. Teachers are throwing projects out like candy and the grind is for sure real rn. Stay strong and finish this year off strong my lad
yea i don’t understand classes having a project after ap exams. they should really just let us breathe a sigh of relief after but no
@@davidtran9455 they are always so pointless as well. No learning going on.
Yo same but we don't even think of college and don't choose our classes. We just study to get a good gpa and Especially to GET a HIGH grade on the national BAC exam.
Thank you gohar for mentoring us
This is great! Thank you so much. I’ve been really struggling and this has really helped me.
THANK U
Man this really helped me! i can finnaly have the motivation to study on my finals! Thanks❤i will tell the results after the finals
Gondar, I got my results for English today and they were C’s. I’m usually a straight A’s and B’s student, I will use the tips, thanks mate. ❤
Currently barely maintaining all As (Cambridge Biology and AP Precalc are no joke yall). I feeling overwhelmed even though my grades are where I want them to be. Every big test is a chance for one of my grades to drop back in to the abyss of the 80%s. This is especially true since finals are worth so much of my grade. I've already worked so hard and I really want to maintain a 4.0 this semester so as to not have all my hard work go to waste.
Hi, my junior year final exams start in a month and this video might just save me, so thank you. I'll check back in a few months with (hopefully) good results.
Thanks Gohar, this Video really helped me on my academic future. Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much, Mr. Gohar and everyone in the comment section for your positive words.
good luck, wish yall all the best with ur exams and finals 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Hey Gohar, I've been watching your videos for a while and I went from 61% in freshman year to 94% in junior year. Thank you for all the tips and tricks, they helped a lot.
Thank you for these advice videos keep it up!
This video alone gave me a random spark of motivation thanks man❤️
Watching this as a straight a student, but dang! This is a great video, these tactics have worked for me in the past
As an Honour roll student in my grade, i have done passive studying my whole life and its kind of worked. Im not saying its good, i possibly get lucky if it is already stuff that i know already. However, this is very helpful as i was trying to be ahead of my academic success. Thanks Gohan
Love these but I can never find them when I need them
i was in this situation just this past semester. Midterm grades I had a C-, and at one point even had a D in Accounting II. I started going to the library 3 times a week and dedicated half the day to studying accounting and for other classes. I found that an environment that I'm not so familiar with (i.e. my bedroom) allows me to focus a lot more.
I just needed this
Thank u brother
Actually i have seen a lot of your short videos but this is my first long video and this is when i actually understood that gohar is too handsome✨💯
Thanks for timestamp It helped to save time
Thanks for the tips also great vids.
thanks man
WOw a great video, Can you please put timstamps of lazyness, shruggling etc
Im in middle school and I have my End of year exams in a week. Im basically both struggling and distracted. This video will help a lot 😊
Thank You Gohar so much i go an A+ in my science test because of you.
love ur vids gohar !!
DUDE I NEEDED THIS THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!
My gpa is like a 2.71 ( my previous worst was a 3.76)
I must try these cause I just realized I've been passively studying literally my whole life.
gohar it always makes my day when you post
It really hit hard, accepting that I'm struggling I was the ‘ Young Sheldon' type kid until grade 10, but starts to struggle this year and this wasted my whole year and now even exams are ended and I've nothing instead of regret
Thanks, i was failing English so these tips might help
Thanks bro I these days my grades had been dropping so I'll update yall after a month
Me seeing this about two weeks away from graduation 🔥 (BTW the editing on this video is so addicting)
ok challenge accepted
i got an f in the last semester in dynamics , tho i was the best at it in the high school
the reason was me not making my Summaries as i did in high scholl and cause i was too arrogant
so the best posible grad i can get is b+ given i failed last semester
and i just dec only 5 grads in class work so far including the midterms
so i will come again after the finals to give you ان شاء الله the grad of b+ in dynamics showing you are wrong
you became a new motivation gohar
HEY GOHAR, IM DOING HOMEWORK AND IM WONDERING WHEN YOUR GONNA UPLOAD I WANT A NOTHER STREAM TO ASK ABOUT SCHOOL AND TODAY I HADE A PRESATATION ABOUT MERCURY AND I DIDNT GET MY GRADE BUT I NEED TO LIST 2 FACTS ABOUT MERCURY, MARS, AND EVERY OTHER PLANET I TRYING TO STUDY BUT I HAVE MORE OGANISED WORK AND YOU REALLY HELPED ME I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU AND I THINK I DID REALLY GOOD
Love the vids❤ the advice is good👍
I'm an A student, but lately I've been getting lots of Bs. need to improve
I got bad grades last year but this year i wanna lvl up 😞 these tips helped me
Thnx :D
I have my middle school graduation exam in a month and the test exam in a week im screaming 😭😭 tysm for this
I keep scrolling to look at others comments who might have had their comeback but ig i need to get that kinda comment myself now I have my finals in few weeks in mid june and some midterm exams starting this next week and i know NOTHING like absolutely NOTHING but i want to have a goddamn comeback so i will definitely update after exams and when i get my results:)
Ive done some of the stuff in the video mentioned and its done wonders, made me go from an 85% in honors language to a 95% by the end of the semester
I swear the last 3 months of the school year activates something in me
I do study and focus i have even made my biggest academic comeback am even called one of the smart kids but right now it's very overwhelming to keep up in the pace
Great video.
I'll try this
I had all A's freshman year of HS except for one B+ in semester 1. This year has been a lot more rough. I've had like 2 B pluses and 2 Bs 1st semester out of 7 classes, which at least for my capacity is terrible. My school also has a different grading system so in most schools the B pluses I got are A minuses, and the Bs that I got are B pluses. I am trying to do better in semester 2, but I am almost towards the end and I have similar grades. I hope to finish better than semester 1, and get all A's junior year. I am also trying to get better at Soccer and Trumpet so I can get placed in a better team and ensemble, but I need to find a way to get less lazier, and find better methods to study.
People like you are very rare in the community
Guys if you get distracted by your phone use it to record a timelapse of you studying. It's literally so helpful.
God i love this dude he's literally saving my life for 2 years
Whenever i got a problem a idian looking guy will be there
LOve you
Ok bro ill tell u my exact situation,i am in all 4 category and knee deep in all also ,i have to study for something i dont wanna do cause its parents dream ,then that pressure makes it hard for me to focus when i study and then i get burnt out and dont feel like doing anything,i tried positive and negative reinforcement but both dont work cause i dont have any regards of what others think about my limits ,i just want to roam the world man ,not do a 9 to 5
Goose uploaded yk what time it is.
Not even gohar can save me😭😭😭
Anytime Gohar uploads a video every week or something, he would give us great tips on how to succeed, and how this can help you during your life. Good job Gohar :)
love it
Me tryna apply this to college work.
thx you
Bro cooked so hard 🔥
The most difficult thing now about not being distracted is when your school uses a two-way or hybrid and flexible (my school's system) or just completely sticks with online class which only allows learning through websites.

Gohar I love your videos and tips,but I have been wanting you to make this video for a long time. Could you please make a video about how we could use ai for studying like using ai to overview a chapter and asking it for study question. Pls and thank you
Could you do one about winning over scholarships
It seems you have done this work from the heart! Can you give me some tips after looking at my project too?🙏
