  • Getting straight-A's in school can feel like an impossible task, but most students are making it harder than it needs to be. If you're not doing as well as you want in school, the problem isn't always time or effort. Instead, it is often your strategies and your approach to studying that is failing you. Here are 5 reasons why you're not getting straight A's and what you should be doing instead.

    As a straight A student, I can affirm that I am not smart, just hard working. I personally think that many people can be top 1 only if they exerted enough effort on their exams and activities. Be warned that maintaining these grades is twice as hard than when you get it the first time. I had experienced dozens of burn-outs from the schoolworks since I'm always the leader every group projects (which i hate the most 💀 i personally prefer individual projects) and it's really frustrating and will make you lose motivation in achieving good grades if your groupmates don't share the same mindset as you. Remember, don't be afraid of opponents like gods, but be afraid of having teammates like pigs. If you want to maintain your grade, then be ready to carry a heavy baggage.

      I'm a straight A student studying radiography. Currently my GPA is 3.8. My highschool GPA was 2.2 and I missed 2 and a half years of highschool, only had a GED, and missed 3 years of middle school. I have never been a 'star student.' Just because you didn't do well in the past doesn't mean you can't do well in the future. Knowing how to study something is very important.
      Take for example medical terminology. A person may try to memorise 3000+ illness and diseases and different terms. It's incredibly inefficient. However, if you take a different perspective you can see that about 2500 of those terms are all built using around 200 words 'parts.' If you memorise the parts, you can build the words so instead of 3000+ terms, you memorise about 700 instead. Which yes on the surface is a lot still but you don't need to know every single one of those.
      In terms of anatomy and physiology, you can memorise every bone and muscle or you can memorise how they're named. Take for example the "Iliotibial band" You can just memorise it as its location or you can take a moment to focus on how its named. Ilio-tibial. Tibial / tibia. It's connected to the tibia. Same goes for the sternocleidomastoid. Sternum, cleido (collarbone) tells you roughly where it connects.
      For me, a huge part of doing well in college is just learning how to learn the content. My first exams I take of any semester I do poorly on and I tend not to care.
      Then I look back and see what are the exams quizzing me on. Do I need to pay more attention to the theory? To the people who developed the theories? To the statistics shown? to hypothetical situations? Considering all of these helps me consolidate where my focus should be. Many classes also have a "competencies" list that tells you what the unit focuses on. Keep those aspects in mind while you're studying. If it says analyzing data as a competency, you'll be paying more attention to the statistics in the content. If it says critical thinking, you'll be focusing on a lot of open ended hypothetical questions. Learning how to learn is very essential. If you're struggling with learning, take a moment and figure out how your class is structured, the units you're going through, how it's put together, and how your unit you're working on is structured. Being organised in your approach is essential.

    As someone with a 4.0 GPA in college, I want to point out that I study VERY little. The critical thinking portion of the video, however, is very true. You must make a hard effort to do all the work for the week (don't fall behind and slack) and work hard to actually fully understand what you're taught. When you fully understand subjects, studying becomes less useful because you should already remember it quite well.

    This is so true. The reason why i always get perfect or 1 mistake even though i didnt study beforehand is because of this. I didnt even know before that this was so called a technique. Before test, 10 mins or 20 mins before i would read the 120 slides and go through it. On the first 3 slides, i would recall what i remember and then go on to the next slide. Im both visual and auditory learner but when im in a hurry, id prefer to picture those slides with my eyes and read them through my mind.

    the 5th point of growth mindset is so true. speaking from recent experience, it does a lot of harm to identify with some type of knowledge and prejudice yourself against others. interest, talent or whatever you would like to call it counts but knowledge is knowledge and if you take the time to discern it you certainly will understand it. of course some learning will take longer but it's all about growth

    I watched all of these videos you've put out for studying before I went back to school. I started at 26 and now I'm a 28 year old. I study less and retain more thanks to what you're teaching. I've learned that I passively learn but I don't truly grasp the content until I Can educate someone on what I learn. I've made study groups solely for my benefit. I know that sounds selfish, but at the same time, it helps them too. I always preach on not burning out and sleeping enough otherwise we won't process the information properly.

    It's good to know that I'm not the only one who struggled with school, however I still have a lot of problems due to not getting high grades in exams, so It would be better if I slept early then I could easily focus and concentrate on what I’m doing

    i have been a top student since the beginning until grade 11 where I started taking advanced courses, where is it hard to focus on one heavy subject and the rest of the subjects at once, mainting your time on how to distribute your study schedule is important in terms of distributing subjects may be one of the hardest challenges especially when you have high dreams and high minimum goals. at this point even you may not be able to study regularly on usually basis and you will experience some draw backs. take care from such threats, but something that you may not relise is that usually taking breaks while studying by looking for other useful yet entertaining resources may come in handy as it will give you a wide library to base answers on and maybe by chance you may even take these resources academically later on if they are related to the topic. knowledge is never a waste.

    I always see my classmates working way harder, rather than smarter. If you're learning about a topic, ask questions and if you are able to answer all of them AND answer teacher's questions, you've learned it. Some questions I ask: where do I use this? How does it work/main principles, can I invert it/reverse it?, what is a base and what factors are interchangeable? What is the most simple explanation for this phenomena? and etc.

    This is a helpful video if my school just didn’t sabotage my school years for an example I am always in the classes below general classes I deserve higher, I am actually put in time look over things compared to most students in these classes, but I could never go up because once I am finally get moved to one the new classes always gave me work and topics I never went over in the other classes and now I don’t have enough time to recover from the marking period so at the end I always go back down to the other classes instead of general classes it’s just not fair how if I learned to more difficult stuff right away instead of the school screwing me over ever start to end of the mark period constantly moving me around it wasn’t possible to keep up since they taught completely different topics even though it’s the same type of class

    Getting a straight A is nice, but in the end you will know that all the straight A’s don’t mean much after the first job. I suggest that while you still have time in college, you should try to learn other things outside of your main subjects as well, maybe another language.

    I'm not in medical school, yet, but I am in school (again). Getting mostly A's but I've also gotten some recent B's. Part of my problem is that I also work more than full-time in healthcare. Work takes time, which is tme NOT spent studying and sleeping. Sometimes I come home so tired, that I cannot study much before falling asleep. I once bombed a final exam in a science course because I went into the exam without any sleep, staying up all night studying after having worked the previous day. That bomb also ruined my grade in the class (I got a B). I have tried using Anki's and flashcards to study, but it takes a long time to turn material from textbooks, lectures, and slides into questions. And then, how do I know if I am creating the right or proper questions, i.e. how do I know how to write the flashcards correctly with the correct wording? Another issue is sleep. I agree that sleep is needed to consolidate learning and memory, getting sleep takes time away from making learning tools.

    • @5tarJan3
      @5tarJan3 Před rokem +1

I usually do well but i have been so ineffiecient with my studying and the pressure and the constant tests have been strressing me out and i ended up telling myself to give up. This semester im planning to try new study habits as soon as possible because this is a crucial year and i really dont want to mess this up even more. I wanted to go to Colombia but now i dont even think thats possible; ill still try to do better even if it doesnt happen

    The very last reason has to be the reason why I was struggling harder with math in high school than I was in middle school. I got to high school and instantly developed this mentality that I was going to fail math anyway, so I shouldn't even feel bad whenever I saw my progress report. I'm now a college student, and I'm supposed to be taking a math course very soon. I'm hoping that I put forth the effort to passing the class as I've tried my best with previous classes I thought I was gonna bomb.

    After the first semester exams in University, all the students in my class were asking how did I get good grades. I told them that they should walk in a circle 3 times around the room while praying and then crush their head to the wall. They started laughing. Then I said to them it is not a magical way. Instead after coming from school eat,rest for 30 minutes. Then go into an empty room, turn off all the devices, and start to study or like we say in my country throw your brain into the books. You can't get good grades by playing video games or going out in clubs all night. I am not intelligent (unlike my sister) but I force myself to study even unwillingly. No one is stuping but only without the desire to learn.

    As a straight A student in high school, I can confirm that I am hardworking but I am also smart. I don’t have to work hard in Highschool to get A’s in my classes but I do because I want to be a doctor so I have 8 years of school after Highschool and in those courses, being smart isn’t enough. It’s so important to develop good study habits and learn to grind. For me, sports like football and wrestling teach me to work harder.

    Rate my old study habit: this was for math and I’m trying to get this habit back. But I used to get a textbook from my school, look at a practice problem, see the answer, then they to get the answer without looking at the textbook. If o don’t get it, I look at the textbook and follow step by step. Once I get the answer, I repeat the same question at least 5 times.

    There’s a reason why many exam questions look intimidating -- they are meant for improving your critical thinking by forcing you to develop your own ideas before you compare your results to the answers. They are also usually timed, which allows stress buildup.
    Stress is actually a key component for better performance, as they force you to become more efficient in thinking. Remember, studying is not meant to be relaxed.

But remember, its a lot of stress, and there have been many times when I felt overwhelmed and just wanted to take a break but couldn't.

    Certainly everything he said is undoubtedly true but talent is also at play here, as a straight A student athlete who sleeps on average about 6 -7 hours of sleep in high school, I'm doing pretty good for myself. I wouldn't go as far as to say that I'm anything special as my teammates do just as well on lower hours of sleep and in Ap courses. Of course, seeing as my team and I are extremely dedicated and persistent, attributes of character are also very important. People who easily tend to give up or find hidden meanings in studying are less likely to be efficient or productive in their learning. But in my opinion, using what this video prescribed with some mental will exercise will change your approach to education. What works for me are cold showers, exercise, and miles of running. Just doing cold immersion therapy is enough to make a mentality where if you want to do something, you'll do it without any mental obstacle because what's worse than willingly hopping into cold water? This helped me in my Junior year with my SAT where I got a 1550 score through sheer, constant studying. And I'm not in any way a smart person as I need to study even the simplest of things just to be caught up with my class, so anyone can do it.
