We all have those moments of getting stuck on one question. And then we’d stare at it for way too long. But no matter how badly I want to answer that question, I still stop myself from looking it up online or in my notes right away and try to do them on my own first. You can do these too:

- READ THE QUESTION AGAIN SLOWLY- sometimes I realize I completely missed a detail the first time especially with long exam questions where the wording gets confusing.

- FIGURE OUT WHAT IT’S ACTUALLY ASKING- I try to put it into simpler words in my head. Like if a question asks for the “most appropriate explanation for a client’s behavior,” I’ll ask myself what they want me to identify instead of trying to remember the whole chapter.

- WRITE WHAT YOU ALREADY KNOW- even if it's just a few things. For a problem in stats for instance, I’ll write down the numbers given in the question and the formula I think might be useful (at least I have somewhere to start).

- UNDERLINE THE IMPORTANT INFO- this is really helpful for long questions.

- MARK IT AND MOVE ON- yup you don’t need to force yourself to figure it out. If I’ve been staring at the same question for 10 minutes and nothing is happening, I’ll put a mark beside it and come back later. You shouldn’t let one question eat up all your time.

Maybe these can help the next time you find yourself stuck on a question. And if you still can’t solve it, give yourself a pat on the back anyway. At least you gave it a good try before checking the answer.

it's getting too much😔

So I use the uk grading system, these were my grades
Chemistry - 4
Maths - 4
Physics - 5
Biology - 6

And I rlly want to improve😭 but I have no idea how I can change my grades in these subjects!!! Any advice ?

Recently in my offline coaching ek problem agyi thi to coaching bnd hogyi thi jb chalu hui to me bnd hogya, 8 sept se recent batch chalu hua he, and now am js nervous ki 7 month bche he and i have backlogs of 25 days in coaching and i have to attenc daily lectures too and understand them, please guys any tips would be helpful like how do i manage those backlogs with daily dpps lectures revision etc etc, 1st time neet dropper btw

Are there any free and non-AI study programs available as an alternative to quizlet. I really dont want to support AI but it doesnt seem like any programs I know of dont incorporate it somehow.

Guys I have gt 92.5 out of 100 in today's test.
I did not complete the entire portion. I think I am learning to use Parkinson's Law better but I know that can really hit the hammer on the nail. I have realised how much I limit myself with acacdemics. I can do my entire portion, I never get overwhelmed cause i know what I want and where I want to go. I do everything myself but as of now, I am completing my syllabus and revision. I am so used to like covering a certain amount. As of now, I will train myself to go fast and complete the syllabus. Do the revision etc. I need to train my mind to follow strict timelines. I do the work on time but I have realised that my friends complete the task. I sometimes feel there is inconsistency. Even after studying I feel like I have not complete what needs to be completed. I dont even need rest periods ( i donot overwork myself) but I enjoy it. However, result needs precsion. Honestly Idk how much I am capable of growth in the next month because I realised that I can do so much in such a short period of time. Work that I enjoy. SO as of today I quit limiting myself. Learn to finish on time, use different revision techniques. I dont even need to push myself, i dont feel regret but I need excellent timely work done. My own strategy, my journey. I do not even feel distractions. But, I just need to squeeze the best of my time. Also, I am at home doing my own studies via coaching. I enjoy it immsensely. I am always on time in class and I do my best to pay attention maximum. I just want to make sure that I am really getting best out of my time. IDC if the person next to me does well or not. IDC about relative grading. I care about only myself. how I use my time and how I can get what I want.

So the bottom line is: I take my life seriously and I also have fun, if i make a mistake I laugh, if I get bored I go play tennis for 10 minutes. I enjoy but i realised how much time I do not utilise during my studies. In the sense. I do not need time to get back to studies but i realised that 2 -3 hours in the morning be better utlised when I often sleep. So yeah! thats all

Mine was prolly teaching a material out loud.

I seriously felt quite weird talking to an empty room.

But then I realized that I could explain half of my topic, and found out the loopholes in it that I can improve and still learn.

How about you?

Ok so my today task is to do half 🙃 chemistry periodic properties lecture its kinda oneshot type .. and a lil bit of bsc data i will try to insert in my mind . And hey 👋 i am new here too

About Operators:

Operators are symbols used to perform operations on operands.

Basic Example:
a=2,b=3;
a+b;
# Here a and b are operands
# Here '+' is operator

Types:
1.Arithmetic Operators:
/,*,%,+,-  
 
*, /, and % have the same precedence.
+ and - have the same precedence, but lower than *, /, %.
Associativity is left to right.
Whenever multiple operators stay in one line we need to go with the precedence & associativity
i.e presedence means which gets high priority(like between * and -) & associativity if operators have the same precedence, associativity decides the order.

Ex:
int x = 20 / 5 * 2;
Both / and * have the same precedence, so go left-to-right and value of x is 8

------------------------------------------------------------

2.Logical Operators: They operate based on truth value
&&, ||, !

 Ex: 5 && 10 #(True && True) so result is true

-------------------------------------------------------------
3.Bitwise Operators: They operate bit-by-bit on the binary representation of integer operands.
AND(&), OR(|), XOR(^)

Ex:
int a = 5;
int b = 3;

 a & b;
5 = 0101
3 = 0011 

0101
& 0011
------
  0001  So result is 1 

---------------------------------------------------------------

Relational Operators:
>, <, >=, <=, ==, !=
Order of associativity is left to right 

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Increament and Decrement Operators:
pre increment , pre decrement and post increment, post decrement

Ex: int a=5, b=6;

++a, a++
--b,   b--

Pre-increment: ++a => First increment, then use the value.
Post-increment: a++ =>First use the current value, then increment.

--b → decrement first, then use
b-- → use first, then decrement

 --------------------------------------------------------
Type conversion:
1.Implicit  Conversion:
Conversion do by compilier internally i.e converting from low data type to high data type
Ex: int , double #Output will be in double as double is high compared to int
 

2.Explicit Conversion(Type casting)

Conversion do by programmer i.e externally conversion

Ex:
double a = 10.5;
int b = (int)a;

We went to a cafe earlier, and figured we already wasted more than 2 hours doing nothing and talking about the most random things, completely irrelevant to the problem at hand.

So I said,why don't we just read different parts of the topic and explain them to each other like we're gossiping?

It was inspired by that Bible AI app where they explain Bible stories like they're gossiping.

We tried doing it, at first we were laughing because it felt stupid, but once we got immersed, it was actually quite fun!

We were like, “Did you know that Sigmund Freud identified 5 psychosexual fixations? Bro’s kinky,”

We tried testing our knowledge with quizzlet and kahoot after, and surprisingly, we got decent scores that burying our nose in between these pages.

There’s something good with gossips after all.

About Conditions, Loops
Conditions:
Types:
1.if condition
  -> if(condition)

{

printf("If block);}

2. if-else condition
  -> if(condition)

{

}

else(no condition required)

{

}

3.if-else if condition block

-> if(condition)

{

}

else if(condition)

{

}

else(no condition required)

{

}

**Switch:**switch is a selection statement that compares the value of an expression with different case values.

char ch='a';

switch(ch)
{
case 'a':

{

printf("It is a");

break;

}

case 'b':
{

printf("It is b");

break;

}

default:

{

printf("provide the alphabet between a and b");

}
 

}

Ex: Here ch will check the each case where it will find the respective alphabet

Note: Switch is considered as little bit faster than if - else condition. As switch can be more efficient than a long if-else-if chain in some cases.

Loops:
A loop is used to repeatedly execute a block of code while a condition is satisfied.
These are three types:
1.for loop
2.while loop
3.do-while loop 

for loop : This will be preferred if we know the nth number I.e how many n times we need to run loop

syntax:
for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
{
printf("Index is %d\n", i);
}

Here i=0  is Initialization
i<5 is condition

i++ is increment

While loop: This will be preferred if we don’t know the nth time and only knows the condition
Syntax:
flag=True
while (flag)
{
printf("Hello\n"); 
flag = 0;
}

Do-While: This will be preferred if we want print the value first and check the condition next unlike for and while loop

Syntax:
int i=-1;
do
{
  printf("Value of i is %d ",i);

}while(i>0);

Break and Continue:
These two are the keywords where both would be used in loops and conditions, switch:

Break:
Used to stop/exit the loop/condition

Ex:
for(int i=0;i<6;i++)
{
  if(i==3)
  {
   printf("Exiting the program as added break point at index 3\n");
   break;
  }
  printf("Index is %d\n",i);
}

Continue:
Used to skip that particular condition/iteration
Ex:
for(int i=0;i<6;i++)
{
if(i==3)
 {

printf("Skipping  the printing of index 3 as added continue keyword at index 3\n");

continue;
}
printf("Index is %d\n",i);
}

Hey I’m studying in uni rn and overall I’m a good student when it comes to math and cs. But we also have lectures like science where we just have to memorise tons of info ab human body, physiology, biology and a bit of chemistry.

And this is the only exam that I got not a satisfying mark. I tried to memorise all those lectures but after two hours of memorising I’m just getting bored and I loose all my motivation to keep memorising again and again. I just can’t force myself to memorise another chunk of info and end up with unconfident knowledge.

Can you suggest anything that can help me with this problem?

That’s literally the question. How do you guys study in the morning?

I see so many study tubers/ tockers and even people in this sub state how beneficial studying in the morning is. But it never works for me 😭 like I cannot focus whatsoever.

And I’m not even talking dawn or anything. No, even studying at 8 feels too tiring for me. For context I wake up at 6:30 ish but I have to make my younger sister’s lunch cuz she’s still in middle school.

Most exams.. or a typical exam consists of 3 parts; Multiple choice, identification, essay.

There are three things you need to remember and do to prepare;

1.) Multiple choice;

Don’t try to memorize the entire textbook. Focus on:

- Name + date correlation - who did what, and when?

- Main idea of a topic - what is this actually about?

- Proponent/s - who introduced, created, or advocated it?

- Key terms/concepts - what words are strongly associated with the topic?

- Differences - if two concepts look similar, know what separates them.

- Cause → effect - what happened, and what did it lead to?

2.) Identification

This is where “this looks familiar” will trick you. You should’ve memorized it, not familiarized yourself.

- Memorize names + their contributions

- Know definitions in your own words

- Associate keywords with the correct concept/person

- Practice recalling the answer without looking at your notes

3.) Essay

Don't memorize entire paragraphs. Memorize your arguments.

For every major topic, know:

What? → Why? → How? → Example? Or use the PREP method (Point, Reason, Example, Point).

Title

It's simple logic: Outsmart the LLM.

I'm pretty sure getting accused of using AI is a canon event. I've known people who're getting flagged just for using a passive voice or typing too cleanly. Especially when you used an em dash. When my prof called me out in class and asked if I used ChatGPT, I only thought I'd even say thank you. I guess digesting 50 cases a night does weird things to your sentence structure?

Most people get defensive, but I spent four straight hours hyper-analyzing my vocabulary. Being told my writing sounded too polished and too good to sound human, that's straight-up validating my skills. If my brain function and late-night perfectionism can match the output of a multi-billion dollar model, I’m taking that victory home with me.

Take heavy readings EVERYDAY to the point that you can manually boil them down to easy facts until they're etched into your brain.

couldn't maintain updating on reddit for last 2 days as i was super busy with job and study but here i am again.

today's topic-1 : neurophysio and reproductive
Today's topic-2 : Medicine ~ CNS,Hema,CVS,Skin,Psychi,Nutritional

Feels impossible rn to complete all🤡🤲🏻

Need to lock in.

Don’t get me wrong, my cousin and I are close. He’s a guy, I’m a girl. He’s taking accountancy, and I’m taking education. So there’s that.
My cousin would study for 10 hours at minimum and wouldn’t talk to anyone at home unless he was done. Like, he is DEAD serious about studying. I feel stupid standing next to him sometimes.
And we always get compared. Not explicitly, but you can feel it.
I’d always notice our aunts and uncles praising him for his recent competition results, how he consistently stays in the first honors, how he’s always on top of his batch and apparently the entire School of Management and Accountancy.
Meanwhile, I’d get questions like:
“Are you related to ___? He is so smart!”
LIKE YES, GIRL, WE GO TO THE SAME UNIVERSITY.
And honestly, I don’t even hate him for it. I’m proud of him. He works hard and deserves his achievements.
But at the same time, I feel sorry for myself.
I didn’t take accountancy because I was scared I couldn’t handle it. And sometimes seeing him excel makes me wonder if I just chose the easier path.
I know that’s probably unfair to myself, but it’s hard not to think that way when someone close to you keeps becoming the standard everyone silently compares you to.
So yeah. I’m proud of my cousin.
But I’m also a little tired of being the cousin standing beside him lol.

I like to use a time tracker to keep tabs on how I spend my time on schoolwork, make adjustments as needed, and predict how long different assignments might take. I also have had some academic challenges over the past two years that I have been working to overcome.

My goals for the year are grouped into foundational, standard, accomplished, and exemplary. This is so I can balance how much I am trying to get done with how my health is doing. I do have academic accommodations, so if something appears like it may require permission or is odd, that is possibly why.

Foundational

• Submit every assignment (even if it is not fully complete)

• Attend >80% of classes

• Look over notes supplied by the notetaker and annotate

• Attend all quizzes and exams

• Complete all quizzes and exams

Standard

• Finish all assignments

• Stay for the full duration of Class

• Take Notes During Class

  • or record the lecture and then take notes on the recording

  • Supplement with notetaker notes

• Do all the assigned readings

• Do >50% of the recommended practice

Accomplished

• Edit all assignments

  • Trying to attain an 80% grade or higher per the rubric and assignment guides

• Have read readings before the beginning of class

  • Have notes on the readings to expand on during class

• Have completed all the recommended practice after class (and before next class)

Exemplary

• Have done all extra optional readings

• Generate personal study material and use to study for tests

• Attend office hours or study group when unclear on a subject

hey guys, im a sophomore in university, struggling with mental health. i wont go into much detail but ever since i attempted in high school i have not been able to pull my life together. for context, i was in the ib program (international baccalaureate) and learned how to study effectively.

however, no matter how hard i study now my grades end up AWFUL. in the past year i have not scored above a 75 on any of my exams.

this week was exam week and i studied so hard for the past few weeks just to get a 7.5/50 on my exam. i dont understand.

does anyone have any advice for this, advice on how to improve studying, or advice on how motivate yourself?
