I just kind of back burnered these two exams that cost me a couple hundred bucks and I have 3 weeks now to play catch up but I really suck it remembering text these days. Not as young as I used to be and it seems my ability to retain information has decreased.he's hoping these tips help me get through 800 pages of one text and 1600 of another!
      All the best out there to my fellow procrastinators ❤️

    Here's a tip which helped me score 74/80 in science
    This technique works
    So when you're reading the lesson and just blindly making notes ,keep a seperate notebook.
    Now while reading instead of taking notes, frame questions which come to your mind and also try framing questions just as you are reading,i mean - be atleast a bit curious about the topic and ask yourself questions. Now don't answer them,note them down
    After reading that particular page or topic ,go back to the questions and answer them
    Benefits:
    Firstly it's forces your mind to be curious over stuff
    And it's increases your ability to answer thereby making it easier for you to get full marks for a particular question in exam
    And it's pyschologically proven that if you write smt down immediately after learning it ,you remember it for a longer time
    Trust me this works
    I Went from 27/80 to 74/80 by this technique
    And try to understand the concepts instead of blindly reading and taking point

    03:19 📌 Focus on bold print, titles, subtitles, and topic headings for an overview.
    04:51 📝 Read the first and last sentences of each paragraph for exposure, not comprehension.

    After my first week of uni and not understanding the textbooks I had to read I have been watching videos such as this and here's is what I've learned so far:
    HOW TO READ / STUDY TEXTBOOKS
    Step 1: Flip through the entire chapter, to get a sense of how long it is and see whatever stands out to you
    Step 2: Thoroughly read through the quiz at the end of each section or chapter to gain the understanding of what important questions you should be asking yourself from here on out.
    **IMPORTANT: FOR STEPS 3 & 4 YOU ARE READING FOR EXPOSURE TO THE CONTENT, NOT COMPREHENSION**
    Step 3: Go to the start of the chapter and read through all of the bold texts throughout the chapter
    Step 4: Go back to the start of the chapter and read the first and last sentence of each paragraph.
    Step 5: Finally read through the chapter fully while framing questions that come to your mind on a blank piece of paper and highlighting in the text what made you think of those questions (Remember to stay curious, this will help you think of questions from the text). For now, don’t answer these questions, wait until you have finished the section or topic, then go through and answer them.
    Step 6: If the teacher has posted any type of video going over the topic. Watch it, it will help immensely because it was what they think is most important
    Hope this helps someone :)

    A quick summary for those who want it:
    - Flip through each page: Overview on what is coming.
    - Look at the End-Quiz: You know what you look for.
    - Read the bold print: Information has been broken down for you.
    - Read the first and last sentence in a paragraph: The first sentence is an introduction & the last a conclusion.
    This method takes more time than just reading the chapter in one go, but it is way more effective.

    Finally a to-the-point tutorial. Most of these kind of videos just ramble on about “getting into the correct learning mindset” and “stop stressing out about it”. This actually has specific instructions I can do immediately. For anyone in doubt - I tried this method it works impeccably. All textbooks are different so adapt the style as fit, but I assure you that this is fail-safe.

    This changed how I learned in college. Dissecting chapters before reading them help me understand what I'm reading and made my experience less scary.
    Continuously practicing these steps and being aware of them has helped me set up my notes better and now I annotate what I read because I feel like I can relate to a lot of what I'm learning. It honestly made me fall in love with learning and reading. This eventually led me to set up an entire style guide to how I take notes.

In exams, especially English, I did most of the steps mentioned in this video and I for one aced most (if not all) comprehension paragraphs. Glad to hear, this has helped people and myself included because the above case only applied to me for English.

You act like a boring old textbook is the only thing you can use. Well, it might be the case anyway for you, likely. The System just doesn’t hold up to our future standards anymore. College is a repetitive career mongering indoctrination camp, and everyone says that it is the only way to get a good-paying career. Also, Although people say you need money to live, something our Education System doesn’t take into effect is a Work/Life balance. We’ve all been told to get a good paying job; but not one that will make us happy. You need to realize this.

      "Like a sponge" is a simile. You can absorb/internalise/understand information from a textbook just the way the sponge absorbs water. He's trying to convey an idea by comparing two dissimilar objects that have some similar quality. I hope this helps😊

    I'd like to share a little story from my experience. I knew I was relatively smart but I couldn't for the love of God score good marks in tests. I ended up with around 60% on the average test. I put this method to the use for like 2 weeks before the test and BOY! my score SHOT UP all the way to 98%! This was absolutely life changing! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
