@3cLeann look inside for pic ^^
what if I told you that you just need to stop studying because the way you might have been taught to study the way that you might have now been studying for years might actually be cooking your grades without you even realizing because we're told that studying is the thing that leads to good grades and so it makes sense to believe that if you just study good grades with something that will come naturally right but just like how someone might go to the gym for years doing the wrong form on a specific exercise indirectly causing long-term injury just because of the simple fact that they always assume that they were doing it right and they never bothered to like check whether they were doing it properly assuming that you can just study the way you have been and assuming that studying least to a grade it's a really really dangerous connection to make and it's also the reason that the majority of students don't know how to study even though it sounds crazy students don't know how to study and that's why studying seems to take a long period of time it seems tiring and less and less students feel like studying and getting grades that they deserve because I was just like that I never considered the way I was studying and I never considered it to be wrong and yet I was always wondering why I got poor grades it was only after I actually learned how to study which is what I'll be sharing right now my grades actually skyrocketed and got them to where I wanted them so wherever you are in your student Journey right now now is the best time to learn how to study because this will save you so much time the first core principle How long should you study? that you need to understand is the difference between consumption and digestion whenever I'd asked my teachers at school how much should I study for the upcoming biology test the answer that they all give was similar no you should probably study for like 2 hours uh 90 minutes probably 3 hours is good for this test and teachers in school often tell you that when you have big exams coming up to make sure you like spend a lot of time studying but what if I told you that it actually doesn't matter and there will be no difference in your grades whether you studyed 2 hours or 10 hours it's a controversial statement I know but I used to obsess so much on the consumption side of things just as school does I thought that if I read more pages if I looked at the textbook more if I spent more hours studying so more consumption went in this way that would lead to more learning and remembering that's what I thought but if you think about it none of this really matters if all of this information you're consuming doesn't stick in your brain and it just leaves out through the other ear because what goes on inside here the digestion and absorption of the information is far more important than the amount that you consume for example if you study 5 hours but your retention rate is 10% you'll get 0.5 hours worth of learning actually done whereas if you study for 1 hour but you have a retention rate of 50% you'll remember the same amount 0.5 hours worth of content but in five times less amount of time but how can we actually increase retention and absorption rate you might have never even thought about this other side of the equation you might have just like me for a long time thought about just the consumption side but the learning pyramid as you can see actually Study like THIS shows that the way you study and the way you learn has a drastic difference in the amount that you retain and hence the effectivity of your studying when I used to just study by reading my notes it would firstly take so long and I'd also do poorly in my tests and only now after learning about the learning pyramid it all starts to fit into place because reading as you can see literally has a 10% potential rate and rereading notes hence for that reason is named a really really bad study technique as cter study show this is why those passive -reem
