Mindset Academy

It’s okay, we got your back.

If you’re like most mortals, you procrastinated, you didn’t revise your lessons in time and you’re stressing between two YouTube videos. *Relax*, here is some advice to minimize damages.

The golden rule: Don’t download a series, it’s a trap.

Now here is the secret to NOT retain anything from your lecture (because obviously you have like 6-8 points on the lectures and you really need them), *passive reading*, it’s when you read the lecture just for reading, what you want to do is to read it once to get an overall picture and restart reading it with the purpose of understanding. In this step write down some questions to ask to the students that attended the course :D

Now, there is a trap, if you successfully understood the lecture, you would have the illusion that it’s in your memory.. NOPE, it’s just in your short memory, what you need to do is trying to explain what you are reading, here you will be obliged to explain it from memory and also you would make the concepts you learned clearer.

If you want to watch a movie/video (and you will), watch it before your last study attempt, the last thing you want your brain to process is the course materials. First thing to do when you wake up is to reread the lecture to consolidate information (will you remember the lecture your whole life? Nope, but you will until you pass your exam :D).

Oh, and get at least 5 hours of sleep, or you will be too tired to think clearly, also, get some calories.

For those who are relaxing before the exam, you just lost 4 points, stay focus, reread everything right before the exam. Now, when you enter the exam hall, take your exam paper and write down every information related to the lecture’s question way before answering them. Do you recall when we were memorizing history and sometimes you just need the beginning of a sentence to recall the whole sentence? Well, here you are doing the same, because quite frankly, you will forget most of the lecture 15 minutes in.

And remember writing nonsense is more valuable than leaving the paper blank (who knows maybe you will write something that makes sense). After that, you just need a miracle, so, prayer is your best hope.

After you finished, go home, like seriously don’t ask people, just… go home. For the next exam day, go back to the top, apply the advice again.

Share your advice in the comments!

Thanks, that was all for me.
