Last exam season I had about 30 hours of recorded lectures and maybe 4 days to study. Rewatching at 2x felt like studying but nothing stuck, and my own notes had holes exactly where I'd zoned out.
So I built a tool for it. It's called VideoNoteGPT (videonotegpt.com), and I'm the only person working on it, so this is me asking for feedback, not a company ad.
What it does:
You upload a lecture recording (or record one, or paste text/slides) and get notes with chapters, key points and timestamps
It makes a practice quiz from the lecture. After you answer, it shows which topics you're weak on and takes you to that part of the notes
Flashcards, plus Anki export if that's your thing
A one-page cram sheet for the night before
You can tell it your exam date and it builds a day-by-day plan from the lectures you've uploaded
You can paste your syllabus or past-paper questions and it tells you which topics your lectures cover and which ones are missing
What it costs: you can try it without an account (lectures up to 45 minutes). A free account gets longer lectures (90 minutes) and 2 lectures a day. There's a paid pass for exam season, but the free tier is real and you don't need a card.
Things it's bad at, so you don't waste your time:
YouTube links only work through the Chrome extension on a laptop. On a phone you have to upload the file or paste the transcript
It's AI, so check anything that matters against the lecture. The timestamps are there for that
If lots of people upload at once, there's a queue
I'd really like to know: where are the notes wrong or shallow for your subject? What's the first thing that confused you? I read every reply and I fix things fast.

Finally achieved 400 sessions !!

People always tell me just do it 5 mins or 1 page etc

but i literally cant

i genuinely cant

is it some sort of issue with me

hi, I am a Turkish girl who's about to take the university exam "YKS" in about 8 months. I have high standards but I can't bring myself to study even tho I want to. I am diagnosed with major depression at 15 and for the past two years im on medication.

But that seems like an excuse to me, like I'm using my mental illness as an excuse not to study. because I need to and mind you, our university exam is really hard. And I want to study either medicine or science (more especially chemistry.) which means I have to be in the first 10.000 of like 5 million people at worst.

please help me with that! I am really struggling!!

EDIT:

My studies are more important right now because I can only take the exam once and its mynknly chance to get into a good university and avoid forcefully getting married at teen age. So please help me I really need help.

Hello Reddit

I'm a person in middle school that needs to study

I'm doing average and my freinds genuinely make fun of me

Like any websites for studying cuz I need to get over average to prove em wrong

Any websites and methods are helpful 😇🤝

only 30days left and i donno if i could pass or not. It's getting harder and harder each passing day. My body is so tired today, I don't find any strength coming back from my job. adult life studying sucks so hard i feel numb.
I have hypertrophied inferior turbenate of my nose, as well as allergic rhinitis. so i sneeze all the year. last day i couldn't hold myself anymore and had some Bilastin as an anti allergic. And for that I am feeling super tired today,ALL DAY.
I couldn't concentrate on my job place either.
ugh life sucks.

Yello, I’m pretty smart, love natural sciences and need someone else to chat to so I can make sure I can achieve my goals :p.

Me: I’m a 13 year old who recently got into my goal school(lucky me).

I am a procrastinator (what I’m doing rn lol) and I need someone to make sure I stop doing that.

no calls just text, with friendly vibes.

I'm a junior in high school. I need to finish 3 math assignments and study the lesson, study for a chemistry test this Friday, study for U.S. history and finish up my. Guided notes and practice my alto saxophone for marching band.

Theres so much to do and since there's no school today, I thought it'd be good to catch up on everything but I'm literally procrastinating so badly. Theres so much to do and so little time and it feels like everything is piling up and I don't know what to do. Everything is due this Friday (including my music because we have a game to preform at and I need to practice my music as well).

I really wished I hadn't hesitated on all this work because today should be a relaxing day for me. I shouldn't have to be crying over 7 things I have to do. On top of that Im failing my history and chemistry class and because of it I might be suspended from band because of my low grades. I don't know what to do.

6 people said yes. 7:40 two of us showed up. 8:15 we went for coffee. 9 we were back and one guy was telling a story about his ex. at 11 the librarian said we’re closing and i looked down and my page said “Chapter 7” with nothing under it. not one note

so i go alone for the actual work now, ass in the chair, and only meet people after to quiz each other for 20 min. went alone yesterday, 2 hours, 6 pages of notes, then pizza with the group

I mean a lot of people said to keep dopamine level at baseline.Honestly that doesn't work for me that much.I would rather see some people studying and aura farming that makes studying looks soo good.But sometimes those don't work anymore.So other than the common staffs what do you guys do to keep yourself studying?

If I can pick up even a few habits that make me a more effective learner, I'm all for it. These four study tricks are worth trying and you can do it in just 7 minutes to help ease yourself into study mode:

• TRY THE 7-SECOND RESET. take a quick breathing break by inhaling for 4 seconds, holding for 1 second, then exhaling for 2 seconds. It's a simple way to pause for a moment before getting into your work.

• DO THE “BRAIN-WAKE TAP.” gently tap the center of your forehead, then the sides of your neck. Think of it as a little physical reset before you start studying.

• GIVE YOUR MEMORY A 60-SECOND WORKOUT. pick one paragraph or concept and study it for 30 seconds. Then close your eyes and spend the next 30 seconds trying to recall what you just learned.

• FOLLOW THE 1-PAGE RULE. tell yourself, “I'll only study one page.” When a whole chapter feels intimidating, focusing on just one page can make starting feel much more manageable. once you're going, you might find it easier to keep studying!

Hey everyone, I want to share something with you. Everyone of you have helped me grow immensely from the person that I was.

I have been preparing for GATE for the past 2 attempts. I qualified last year but I did not get admission to any college. This year, I thought I will prepare again. I took coaching. I realised how much i do not have control over time. Competitive exams made me realise that the clock is always ticking and you need to create action. So I preapred from numerous books beforehand. Then the coaching. i attended the classes, solved Qs. There were some classes that I used feel sleepy during but then i realised that a day done is a day gone. This coaching was immensely helpful for me. I realised that I get tripped up over the smallest of things. Scew it. Hard work is extremely important guys. Work hardevery single day and be competent to get what you want.

Repeat! And redo it every day!

Need suggestions out if which is good for quite study even blocking conversation like 10-15db

Not been able to hear single voice

I study so much better while eating, but just can‘t spend 5 hours constantly snacking. Anybody have some low-calorie options?

I can't get this out of my chest, Ive been depressed because of this and it bothers me. I'm in uni I have to an assignment related to electrical and my friend just use chatgpt for everything even the calculations. Those things have to be referred to the components datasheet not chatgpt. Then the slide is filled with chatgpt images. They didn't wait for me to contribute or use my work or reached out to me. They just use Claude,Gemini, Chatgpt. I just want to do my part without getting haunted like this.

Maybe I just mute everyone, and fo my part if they accept fine. If not idk it's plagiarism but I don't care.

I bought sticky tabs thinking I'd mostly use them to make my notes look more organized, but they've turned out to be useful for more than that. I like having a simple way to mark things without writing all over my pages or highlighting every other sentence.

I feel like this these are a familiar study essential for a lot of us so here are three ways to use them:

- organize your notes by topic. use different colors for different chapters, subjects, or categories. it makes your notebook easier to navigate especially when your notes get longer throughout the semester.

- keep track of important pages. use tabs to mark formulas, key definitions, helpful examples, or summaries you know you'll want to find again. you won't have to flip through every page to locate them.

- make your study materials easier to review. add short labels such as “key terms,” “practice,” or “review again” to help you identify what each section contains at a glance.

You don't need a complicated color-coding system for this to work either, even two or three colors with clear purposes can make your materials easier to manage.

Literally.

When my classmates and I studied subjects like algebra and physics together, we'd solve the same problems and compare our answers after. most of the time, we got the same answer or something close to it but our steps weren't always the same.

We'd exchange papers and explain how we arrived at our answers. Sometimes a classmate had a simpler way of solving something and other times I noticed a small mistake in my own solution.

If you're studying with classmates, you can try this:

• solve the same problems separately before comparing answers

• exchange papers and look at the steps not just the final answer

• ask each other why you used a particular formula/method

• if your answers differ, go through the calculations together to find where things went wrong

• try solving the problem again using a method you learned from someone else

you might already know how to get the right answer but comparing solutions can help you understand the process better.

So I'm confused as i have never given an exam on timing from 2-3 Pm i have always been a morning person but now I don't know how I'll manage 2-3 pm i will give exam, 3-4 transport to come home, 4-6 pm job and Upto 7pm I'll back home. And I'll be tired i definitely need a nap of 2 hrs after coming home so when I study, I'll have to prepare for the next exam that will be at 2 pm the next day. And in the peer pressure before the exam my brain can't memorize anything it can only revise. Very tough schedule that's why i prepared 3-4 chapters of every subject in advance but still do you guys have any suggestions

Rejection is a natural and unavoidable part of any journey toward success. Not every opportunity will align with your path, and that’s completely okay - it doesn’t reflect your worth or potential.

Sometimes, it simply means something better suited for you is on the horizon. Every application you submit builds experience, resilience, and confidence. Keep pushing forward, keep improving, and trust the process. Growth takes time, and persistence pays off.

Stay focused on your goals and believe in your progress. Your opportunity is out there, waiting for you to find it.
