Very intelligent young man ready to become more successful
Is that an 11x11?
Helpful a lot actually
Jsut signed up for brilliant! Thanks!
Just
I’m homeschooled, so technically no matter what grade I get I will be valedictorian.
That’s a way to think of it 😂😂
Respect 🫡
I wish I was schools are just unproductive
Yoo I’m homeschooled too let’s go.
Fucking same but i use to learn by myself but still i became valedictorian lol
hope y'all found this video helpful! going to try my best to publish more consistently haha
At first I felt like I was the smartest one in my class, but now I feel like the smartest kid in my school.
I would definitely love to see a ChatGPT video from you
Hey, Gohar! Can you make a video on procrastination and homework? I struggle a lot with time management, and I could use some help.
Sorry to ask but why don't you heart anybodys comment
@@ClipKitt I study 1 hour at school and 2 hours at home
This is honestly so inspiring. I’m in my Junior year of high school, and have taken no AP classes and have a 3.1 GPA. I wish so badly that I had found you sooner. So, **If you are in middle school or a freshman in high school, listen to this man!** this advice is incredible and will make your high school journey so much better. Thank you Gohar for helping so many people!
Same here! I'm also a junior in high school currently have an 3.8 GPA. Really wish I found Gohar sooner, way sooner.
I am in 8th grade and love this guy
@@fabrizziogonzales817 That’s really great that you found him at that age. One of the best pieces of advice is to not be peer pressured when it comes to classes you take and school activities. Just make sure you are leaving your comfort zone now and then and you’ll do amazing things in high school. Have a great summer first though!
I’m a senior who’ve taken no ap classes due to my absence in the country and I have a 3.3 gpa😿 guess I’m going to community college
I followed gohars advice and got ranked in the top 30 of my class😀
Tip #1: Weighted Vs. Unweighted GPA
Tip #2: Make Special Requests
- Take as many AP classes as you can
Tip #3: Save the Hard APs for Later during your high school career
- Make a list of all the AP courses you want to take and save the hardest ones for your senior year
Tip #4: Don't compare yourself
- Make a list of your strengths and weaknesses and how to improve your performance for these subjects
Tip #5: Make a strict after-school routine
Tip #6: Optimize your work environment
- Declutter your desk
- Throw out any garbage
- Lay out your supplies
Tip #7: Try the Feynman Technique
- Identify the concept you want to learn
- Pretend to teach the concept. (you can use a mini whiteboard and pretend you're teaching an actual class)
- Figure out gaps in your knowledge
- Fill in these gaps by going back to your notes and textbooks
Tip #8: Use spaced repetition
- 7 days, then 5 days, then 3 days, then 1 day before an exam
Tip #9: Split everything evenly
Tip #10: Ask for help
- Use StackExchange and ask questions on forums
Tip #11: ALWAYS do the extra credits
Thanks for the great tips!
Yowww thanks!
You are pretty smart
Quality advice.
This video came out a few days after I was informed I was graduating as class valedictorian, and I’m amazed at how many things you said are accurate and fall in line with what I did throughout high school. It was my goal since my first year too and I carefully selected which classes to take, knowing who I was going against and to be aware of which teachers graded harshly. 😂
Aahhh good job! Happy for you :)
Congratulations btw
I was valedictorian in my school and I have to say this video covers all my thoughts toward getting a high GPA, especially teaching what you learn to others. I remember I enjoyed making quizzes using google forms for my friends to take, acting like a teacher. This really solidified my learning of the concepts faster than just reading and staring at a textbook ever could. I also highly stress the idea of taking every opportunity to get extra credit. During on of my terms, I was feeling lazy and felt like I didn't have to do extra credit since my grade was already very high. Turns out, I did bad on the term final and my grade dropped a letter grade by a difference of 0.2! I ended up reaching out to the teacher, who is very nice and ended up giving me a second chance to do the extra credit even though it was due like 2 months ago lol.
I’m so glad that I found you at the end of my freshman year of high school. I’ll be more prepared than ever since I’ll be sophomore for the upcoming school year! Thank you for inspiring me Gohar! :)
Love this video! Make more of these regarding your study techniques
Hey I would love a video like this on your college experience. I'm class of 2023 and getting ready for it so it'd be pretty helpful if you broke down how you studied STEM in college so efficiency.
Thanks!
I’m currently a freshman, but I’ve been watching these videos since 7th grade. Thank you so much for the content you make, it’s so helpful with structuring the path to (hopefully) valedictorian!
This is very helpful, I'm going into highschool next year and this gives me ideas on what I need to improve on myself for highschool.
Some solid tips here. Thinking about each of your next steps and long-term strategic thinking is the way to go!
Also I love the videos your helping me a lot in school thank you so much keep it up
I don’t know if you’ve mentioned this in any videos prior, but I suggest using the Pomodoro technique when studying. Basically it’s an alarm with a repeating study and break timer. You can adjust both settings, e.g. study for 25 min and break for 5 mins. this cycle repeats, and on some websites, when it hits the 4th loop, you can extend your break.
yeah, he has in his shorts
Pomodoro technique sucks… read deep work by cal newport
Nah that’s a lame technique atleast 1 hour then 10 mins break
@@AltOurCumrade you can adjust the timers to however long you’d like.
25 minutes is too short of a working session for me.....and 5 minutes is also too short of a break session lmao. I'm the type of guy to grind out for 60-75 minutes and then leave a 20 minute break or so for myself
these videos are so usefullll!!! thank you so much
Awesome vid...thanks for all you do!
Thank you a lot Gohar! Finally a video that actually helps. Could you plz make a vid on improving English writing skills.
I attribute the Feynman technique for my ability to be top of my class. Being able to teach a concept requires a deeper understanding of said concept and it requires you to be able to remember it, which served me well helping fellow students and taking tests.
Problem is is that I got a super unfair teacher this year that absolutely destroyed all chances of me getting an A in his class and then on top of that one of our students came from a school that did weight honors classes while we don’t so he kinda got an advantage.
Thanks this was actually my goal this year!
Thanks for these tips I'm going to use this
Hey Gohar! Thanks for the tips it would help a lot! I making some shorts for digital applications too that would help us more and these tips would definitely help me because I am in middle school right now. Thanks Gohar!
Not gonna lie, that tip about a restricting after school schedule could be really helpful to me considering I do extracurriculars and take all honors classes 😅
Lets just say that it's almost 10 rn and I still haven't gotten my homework done
That Feyman Technique does WONDERS!!! I genuinely feel so much more confident since i started using it last year (freshman year). Still waiting for my Junior year rank after sophomore year but last year I ranked 23/998 so I definitely think I could be top 15!
thank you for this informative video
Thank you so much this really helped me
I love your vids! They help sooo much. When I first stumbled across your videos I was like: oh jeez I’m gonna be in high school soon so better listen to this smarty. Especially if I wanna be a biomedical software engineer that wants to go to UPENN
i always used the Feynman Process ever since i was a kid, because it was a simple trick to easily understand whatever concept i was learning.
This is so helpful thanks. 😊
Hey there gohar , since Understanding the concepts to following productivity tips to emerging as a top student , i have participated in competitions and balanced them with my academics and have started my own news club at school . I am thankful to you for the videos you shared which inspired me to work hard and smart
This was very useful video even though I'm only in grade 9 I'm still trying to use your methods for grades and its seems to be working since my grade has slightly increase thanks Gohar😊
Also bro not only take ap classes but have a hobby Yk for me it’s coding ima 9th grader and I’ve already seen how due to that hobby my tech teachers favor me more and I was asked to be apart of the 25 kids from my school that goto a robotics lab which I goto every wensday after school so develop relationships with teachers and make jokes but also stay consistent and on top of your work
Love your vids :) keep working hard
My school literally used the Feynman technique this whole time and i had no idea. This is how it usually goes:
For a history class the teacher would assign a lesson, and then everyone would go home and read the lesson. During the next lesson the teacher would call on random students and have them explain the lesson to them as if they didnt know the lesson.
While i was taking individual/one on one classes (because i was behind in school, due to me moving) my teachers would use this technique, and it helped me catch up to my classmates really quickly
I think one thing you should’ve mentioned during tip 8 is the Leitner system, you talked about it in one of your shorts
brother Love your videos
Good Editing
Keep Going
Thank you for all the extra hours and extra effort you had to put on for getting this job done. I appreciate every bit of your effort.Thank you for pulling this off so remotely.
Hey Gohar great video! Can you make a video on extracurriculars and college essays for ivy leagues?
Damn the editing is too notch! Also we like seeing your face in the videos!
Makes it sound less robot-y
Thank you. God bless everyone ❤
I just kinda did my work on time and ended up being valedictorian. Not really hyped about making the speech for next month though because I wasn't very involved in my school, kind of just focused on work and college courses
I realize a lot of these high school advice videos say in addition to many things I already know "be confident and stive for quality" wether that be in your work, in your friendships, in your classes, be confident, kind, and never settle if you're going into high school like me or you're just anyone that's my advice. Because it takes confidence and discipline to actually strive for what you want. -wait did I just write a paragraph of my future valedictorian speech if I ever get blessed to go that far?
hey gohar, can u have a separate video on how to use chatgpt correctly? i would really appreciate it!
ps. i really love your content, its helping me a lot in school
I love your videos so much. I'm a freshman in highschool myself and im struggling in studying and grades your videos really motivated me to focus more and achieve my goals.
you can never find something more useful that this on youtube
this guy's a living legend
I'm from Australia and your vids motivated me. I got the highest grade for my history and geography exam.
This channel is amazing. You see, I am in 6th grade and I might not need all of this info, but this is such a good channel for studying/learning new concepts. Thank you so much for what you do Gohar Khan. Thank you so much!
Just curious, your channel says that you’ve joined 11 years ago, and you’re in 6th grade.
@@SirStickless no no, for the past couple years, I haven’t done YouTubing since my parents made it.
@@shreyaanshpurohit9292 Ohh I was just confused because 6th graders are usually 11-12
My school, Singapore American School allows you to take a max of 7 APs across high school. And my school is incredibly competitive. Being an international American school in Asia,around 4-5 people have a 4.5 unweighted GPA (in my school that’s the max unweighted) per grade
I'm so excited for this videooo
This helps so much my gpa got a huge boost from 2.6 to 3.5 this helps so much and I finally know my potential thanks man.
Thanks for sharing this
Thank you... I mean im pretty young right now and i do feel like this is very valuable advice for me to reach my full potential
The crazy thing in my school is that you can take as many AP's you want and no one will care, as long as you have the prerequisites and the capacity to handle those classes. Because of this some people next year are taking 7 APs as a sophomore. I am taking 6 as I also aspire to be valedictorian, but the outrageous competition at my school paired with these loopholes make it very hard to do so.
Same with my school. My highschool is really competitive but there is no class rankings. I personally think that they did that to cool down the competition between students. They just tell you what percent u were in your class. Sophomore’s at my school usually take 2 AP’s and I am planning on taking 3…
I don’t think taking 7 or 6 ap classes is a good idea you should make it less so you can focus on less classes landing you a higher gpa 4 ap classes is a good amount if you want to take a lot. If you take this much ap classes you will get like b grades and maybe c grades as it is just too much workload
I am I am I love the consistency and hardwork of this channel , Despite the stat examination being so tough I aced mine with a perfect Sat score of 1600 . it took a real ton of hardwork .
The SAT exams is really frustrating, I can't believe I failed again after so much study.
You'll pass everyone has their A own season, just keep praying and believe you will receive
@@emiliavera5717 Who's Mr Todd?
I'm a parent , I've spent close to $700-1500 on Preply tutoring and even did my personal research from youtube videos but my daughter's results came back failed . it's frustrating 😡
I also failed again after using lots of resources , I wasted savings on multiple tutorials , now enough with tutorial. I'm tired 😩
Thanks to your videos im graduating top of my class and going to an awesome uni.😊😢
GOHAR IS THE FUTURE 🔥🔥
Bruh gohar and gohan are the exact same in terms of education
The secret is there is no secret. Just hardwork and dedication.
Can you make a video of all the school supplies you should get
I love these videos, also would love to see a video on chatgpt
Hey Gohar! I’m a huge fan of your videos (who would not be) and I’m just asking is it possible to do a video about schools in the UK (high school) to enhance my knowledge? If not that’s totally fine, thanks for your time people :)
What I wish is that schools would teach their students how to study and educating that everyone is different so use what works best for them. I feel like these are tricks that you need to get into a habit early on so you are setup for success early rather than last minute. UA-cam is a great resource and thank you for posting this. Imagine how much better students around the world would perform everyone was educated on studying tricks than having to figure it out by chance.
I respect anyone who's aiming for valedictorian, but I also wanted to point out that from hearing all of this, I personally think that it's too much work for not a lot of payoff. It's an amazing feat, of course, and it looks good for college as well, but the amount of work and, more importantly, stress and anxiety, that comes with taking all these AP classes can be super detrimental to your mental health.
However, these tips are really helpful even if you just generally want to keep a good GPA and gain good work ethic/study skills as well!
Great video, thanks for making it!
Yep 1000% agree. I’m by no means near being a valedictorian. But it’s very stressful if that’s your goal and well, it’s a good title, but really it does nothing
This can be applied to prestige in general. Prestige doesn't matter lol, especially when it comes to college. Like I've never heard of an Ivy League student who had 0 regrets on going to their "top" college after just a few months being there. It's very easy to let prestige compromise your mental health or blind you from focusing over what's really important.
Ty! It was helpful!
i may be going to choate soon, so im definitely saving this… that school looks tough
I can't believe how you are so good at studying AND an awesome UA-camr
Thanks Gohar for this amazing and useful video.I would also like to know how we can use the chatGPT to get high grades in school.
HOW SHOULD I PREPARE AND DO THINGS TO GET ACCEPTED TO A GOOD HIGHSCHOOL!
I failed my 2 of my AS exams last year and plan on retaking it this year. I hope I pass.
I’m only about to enter 8th grade but I will try to keep these tips on the top of my mind. The thing is that I’ve never studies for a test in my life and it would be great if you gave me some tips to do so.
I was valedictorian when I graduated from my middle school, now I hope to get valedictorian again in high school. I believe you should take as much ap clases you can, but choose wisely. I recommend you choose the ones that can help you get into the college you want. My friend took many ap clases and was valedictorian, but when she applied for college some of her ap clases were rejected. This is just a recommendation.
In most cases if you've taken a bunch of AP's, some credits will inevitably be rejected. However, if you're cognizant of which school you're going to (after graduation) and which ap's you're gonna take due to genuine interest (for example, mostly STEM classes or Humanities), more of your credits will likely be accepted. Though in some schools there is a maximum amount of credits. So it really depends, but try to have control over what to learn in order to get the most out of it.
I believe ap clases also prepares you for college. Taking the ap classes that corresponds to the field you know you will go to will help you in the future. It will also allow you to gain an understanding of how those clases will be like in college. But like you said take the ap classes that interests you the most and gives the most amount of credits.
great editing
I’ve always found the idea of being valedictorian so amazing and inspiring. I’m not sure if it’s too late for me, since I’m already halfway through my sophomore year (AND in a Catholic school), but either way, I can still use this information to help out my grades. Thank you
God is worthy to be praised 🎉
I really needed to see this video and it was the first one I saw after I came off a call with my father talking about school.
Thank you sir for the time and effort you took to make this video for us.
Amen🎉
Due to my medical needs, my school only offers me core classes. I self study approximately 6 APs a year extremely successfully, but it’s extremely disheartening knowing I have no chance for valedictorian :(
same, i applied for some AP classes my sophomore year but due tue some medical needs i was put is regular classes now I'm entering my junior year and thinking about going to med school
same thing with special ed! truly unfair
Can you make a video on how to start the school year
I realized I used the Feynman Technique without knowing lol. I also love it as well it helped me study for state testing and I noticed my scores improve. It got me through middle school so I HIGHLY recommend it and hope it helps you like it did me!
All you need to do to become dux at my school is get the top exam grade (IB or NCEA)
Even though this wasn't helpful for me, I still watched the entire thing because I found it interesting and engaging
Good job Gohar
After seeing your channel for the first time five years after graduating high school, I knew I messed up by taking no AP classes and striving for the minimum in freshman and sophomore year. I was an honors student but my schools didn't offer enough classes within my reach. The state of New York hated students like me who had anxiety disorder. Yes I was top of my tenth grade class but all other students at that school were failing. My mission now is to start a private school (prek to postdoc) for people like me who can't handle stress like hw or pass/fail. Im currently in my fifth year at an unaccredited higher ed institution because no accredited school is going to waive the requirements that are to stressful for people like me. Also there was one exam I took that was more difficult than anything Gohar ever did (English Regents) and it belongs in postgraduate school
Please make a video on chatgpt, I would like to use it but I'm afraid I will use it as a advantage and use it for everything I do for classes, and I don't want to be lazy or rely on it for everything, especially since I will need the knowledge for final exams.
we can take 1 ap class freshman, but i didnt end up taking it because i didnt want to be stressed first year. Now im going into freshman year and im taking AP Psych and AP World history, along with 3 honors classes.
GPA for my school:
A in Regular/on level classes: 4.0
A in Honors classes: 4.5
A in AP classes: 5.0
And its all averaged together, m school also doesnt do A- or A+, all A's are just A's.
You’re lucky. I have to make sure my grades are above a 92 to get an A and the max gpa for the class. I’m not trying to be valedictorian though. Just top 15 or so
I don’t wanna be valedictorian. But I’m here to see how this man did.
Video was AMAZING!
How do you balance incredibly challenging extracurriculars with lots of AP/Honors classes homework?
Yes!!!! Please make a separate video on ChatGPT.
As someone who said to everyone on my last day of middle school that I will be valedictorian, this is very helpful.
I believe in you!!!!
As a current senior, I wish I found this earlier. I know I left so much on the table in high school. Our school does use weighted gpa, and we cannot take AP’s freshmen year and only one sophomore year. I had a good freshmen year(could have been better) but I took a standard class. If I had used your tips I probably would have been among the top 10-20 in a very competitive high school *maybe even top 5*
Notes (rising ninth grader)
Tip 1: Unweighted vs Weighted GPA
- go for hardest classes possible, make best grade possible
Tip 2: Make Special Requests
- try to get more AP classes, especially ones thst you’re not allowed to take at your grade level
Tip 3: Take harder APs later in high school
(sponsor segment)
Tip 4: Don’t compare yourself
-find your weakest subjects
-find strengths and weaknesses (eg: overthinking, reading, algebra)
Tip 5: make a strict after school routine
-limit leisure with phone timers
Tip 6: Feynman Technique
-identify concept
-pretend to teach concept to a child or beginner
-go all out! try using mini whiteboard or even teach an actual child or whatever
-figure out gaps in knowledge
-fill in gaps w/ notes or material
Tip 7: Spaced Repetition
-review things every day or two.
Tip 8: split everything evenly. never procrastinate
Tip 9: constantly ask for help/questions
-stack exchange or reddit. or chat gpt! make sure it explains steps.
Tip 10: ALWAYS do the extra credit. ALWAYS!! That’ll make you valedictorian
I am so glad you are sharing this because many high schoolers do not know this stuff before it's too late. In my freshman year, I was fighting for those A's but I got a B in English ACC. In my sophomore year, I got a B in English II ACC 🥲. However, in my Junior and Senior year (the only times I did not have English except DC Comp which I loved a lot and challenged me greatly with all those papers I had to write) I got all A's by taking more challenging courses, especially in math because I love it, and balancing my soccer and club counseling duties. I was ultimately 3rd sadly probably from the two B's but I learned so much about strategizing my courses and getting the job done. Even if you do not get valedictorian or salutatorian, it is vital to learn as much as possible during your *last few years of mercy* before going into the real world. For example, I was already researching college admissions and scholarships in June so I can maximize my chances and scholarship money. Sure you can look to become top 10 in your class but it is not guaranteed to solve all your problems. You have to think ahead. I am glad I decided to apply early and do my research because I am basically going to a university for free while being in their top programs as an undergrad. In the past being val or salutatorian could give you a full ride like what my uncle had but today it ranges from nothing to 2,000 a year. It's important to do in school but it's also important to be ready for the outside world. Good luck to all the high school students!
We actually need a video on chat cpt explanation.
I have never gotten anything lower than an A+ got the highest and hoping for valedictorian next year.
My school is terrible so we use unweighted to determine the valedictorian. Yes you understood that correctly. We had 22 Valedictorians and like 30 somethin salutatorians.
Please do a Chat Gpt video. Thank you
this video is so underrated
im in 7th grade and thats my goal for highschool. Can you make a video about tips for middle schoolers going into highschool?
Check if you can take algebra 1 in 8th grade or even this year some schools let you
@@landonbgaming2478 I already took algebra 1 in 7th grade
Hey! Gohar i want to ask a question on how to have a bachelor's and/or master's degrees in a physical science, physics or astronomy
Hey Gohar, now that you've graduated, what do you do as a career? Have your degrees at ivy league schools helped at all?
Hey! Great question, haha. I get this pretty often but haven't really addressed it. I'm a full-time content creator and founder. In 2020, I co-founded Next Admit with my younger brother (who some of you might know). I spent a year building the website from scratch, drawing on a lot of my computer science knowledge from college. I use my computer science knowledge even on the content side. For example, I'll write scripts to automate tedious parts of the content creation process or run analyses on my analytics.
While I might not be a software engineer by trade, the problem solving and technical skills I picked up in college have been incredibly useful!
@@goharsguide Hey Gohar I wanted to ask my highschool doesn't have all the AP classes that I see other people take. Like Ap Physics 2 and Both C's or Chem same with Calc BC we only have AB and we don't have the Computer science Ap's either so is this a problem that I want to consider, or will it lower my chances of getting into a good school? My school had one student go to Harvard or thats only one we know could be more but it worries me.
Also wanted to note Im a freshman going into sophomore year I have already take Ap human geo and I am going to take next year enviormental science and Ap Euro. Also my school got rid of rankings and I don't know if valedictorian is even a thing if rankings also include valedictorian should I maybe switch highschools?
@@plantshaper691 No, if you tryhard maintaining that 4.0 UW GPA. Also, is your high school really competitive? Mine was moderately competitive in that the kids from the good middle schools actually did AP classes. From your description with your HS having APHUG, it seems pretty competitve.
As long as you study well, your grades should be fine. The main thing you have to worry about is for your extracurriculars. Now the easy part is that much of it you can lie about, as they have virtually no way for them to verify it. Do some volunteering and do RELATED activities to what you want to study. Show the colleges that you are a well-adjusted and good person. Then your chances to get in are higher.
Due to schedule complications, I wasn't able to take as much ap classes as I wanted, so I am currently #2 at the start of senior year.
It’s ok! Keep going, I’m sure you will be able to reach the top soon! Remember, like Gohar said: Don’t compare yourself to the others, they are not worthy of your time. Just go for your own strengths and let them dwell on their own sadness 😂 (just kidding about the last bit)
Anywho, keep going! I’m rooting for you 🎉
@@indie.plays_x Thank you! :)
Just play it like a chess game
@@ElonMasks huh
What do you recommend for people who have sports or any other after school activities to make sure you get the top of your classes while also managing stuff like sports
for shedding light to what wasn't cleared at first
It kinda sucks being in a smaller town because my school only has two AP classes, both of which can only be taken during junior year. There are definitely some schools that have no AP classes as well.
10:58 I would be down for a ChatGPT-related video lol
idk why but i just dont want to use it in my schoolwork, it feels way too op
