Also by opening the homework and figuring it out
Sometimes by opening the test and figuring it out but we donāt talk about that and also usually Iām successful
I wish I wasnāt dumb in middle school. In Romanian class my teacher was teaching verb tenses and because I was a big noob I didnāt understand a shred of theory despite knowing it very clearly in retrospect when I went to explore it again in high school.
Literally sMa(y)rt
I pay attention like a NOOB
Hadnt seen a differential equation once when I opened the AP Calc exam :flex: :flex: :flex: :flex: Got a 5
somehow
Probably not smart actually this is a bad idea dont do it
At least it wasnāt integration by parts.
I took college calc cause high school courses bad for me schedule wise and I was like āyeah thatās the same as AP calc Iāll be fineā & didnāt bother studying at all
AP Chem I thought the exam was in late May. Turns out it was in early May. Learned this in late April. Did not attend any of the actual classes or do any of the coursework so I had to learn all the material in like a week or two. I do not know what is up with the average American high school student that meant I got a 5

Studying feels like jumping into a pit of acid to me

I will do. The homework. Sometimes. It has a definitive start and end. Thereās goal setting you can do there. Itās like video games. I used to do little tricks to optimise the number of points I could get done before midnight (which gives you full credit) versus after midnight (which is 75%). Studying has no definitive start or end point. Therefore it is a pit of acid that will dissolve my bones
Essay due in more than one week? Pit of acid that will dissolve my bones. Essay due in more than one day more like. Listening to lecture? Pit of acid. Emailing professor? Pit of acid. Staying after class or going to office hours to ask a question? Pit of acid

i have a good standardized test track record (4/4/5/5 AP scores, 1500/1520 PSAT 1550/1600 SAT) but thatās not super fair because i avoid stem like the plague .
I didnāt even take the environemntal science test despite being in that class and getting such a high score on the practice test that the teacher had to ask me if i was okay with increasing the curve more because otherwise the class average would be lowered too much. Not for me. no stem. i am decidedly NOT a woman in stem
Itās remarkable how many things will dissolve my bones
become uneducatable
Really should ask about ADHD meds shouldnāt I
Studying is also kind of done inefficiently.
The way memory works is by taking breaks from learning (spaced learning) and also to revisit it constantly. The more you donāt cram test and do repetitioned learning, the more it actually sticks.
Itook adderall once and I like did soooo many things it was magical I did work that was due in more than 1 day and made dinner and then coffee cake and so much. And then I didnāt sleep at all
