    M23 IB 45
    Within the course, I won't just teach you content, but I will provide you shortcut methods and techniques to easily guarantee 7s with minimal studying, techniques that will never be taught at school, and never found on the internet. I GUARANTEE that you will consistently get 7s on your tests, exams, and IAs. This will 100% give you a competitive advatange amongst your peers, FAST TRACKING you to IB 45.
    The Never Take Notes Again series are the only resources you need to study for the IB exam and school tests. They will save you tremendous time as you no longer need to research and condense information from multiple sources, as I have already done. In fact, unlike any other sources, my series “Never Take Notes Again”, is the only resource in the world that has been rigorously tested for 2 years in the IB to guarantee 7s, to guarantee 45. This will give you a competitive advantage among your peers, while they just started taking notes, you have already started memorizing.
    Scholars Pact includes:
    - 7 different courses
    - Instant feedback system (Recieve feedback within 24 hours on past papers, essays...)
    - Unlimited past papers
    - Under-the-table techniques (Techniques that help you fast track to 45)
    - My sample 7/7 IAs and past papers
    - Tailored step by step blueprints to follow
    - Live Q&A
    Always keep productive! Especially in the ibdp, I personally listened to motivational speech, and did monk mode for a while to stay in flow state. You can take the red pill and work as hard as you can, or the blue pill and go watch netflix.

    Fundamentals are key. As someone who was really good at math in grade school, struggled in middle school, and didn’t retain much from high school, it was a real struggle when college came around. I remember when I realized that all calculus was, was just algebra and trigonometry concepts at best, but it was so hard to keep up because my fundamentals were shot. To this day, I’d say I can do arithmetic, Calc I & II, and Discrete Math. I struggled unnecessarily and there’s still gaps in my knowledge, honestly I’d like to go back and rectify it because I loved math as a kid. My journey in the subject is a very unique one, so I really stress the importance of fundamentals a lot.

      Really similar to mine haha. I srly don't know how I scraped by calc 2 in uni with a B. I crammed everything and had so many holes and kinda wished I had more time and support to study (highschool teachers were reaallyy bad and I never listened) these because cramming all these topics made me realise that they are enjoyable to learn.

    As someone who has gotten both F's and A's in math here's my take. Math is just rules, common sense/logic and consistency. Practice is more important than memorization and shortcuts(shortcuts as in ones that aren't related to understanding the material).
    For me what caused me to fail is 2 things and funny enough it's not math itself. 1st is my mental state. When my mental state was horrible my mind was too distracted to focus on the math that i could do when I was mentally healthy. Trust me prioritise your health and it will really affect my grades. 2nd was if I missed one lesson I struggle with catching up cause I struggle with consistency(this was also related to my mental health.) Currently cramming for my math unit exam.
    I also recommend watching videos on the history of math cause it's really fascinating and can be motivational to see where it came from.

      Facts! The more questions you do (consistency) the more capable you are of answering the questions on tests, do to better technique, fundementals and awareness fo question types. Exactly! Mental state is often overlooked, such as people talking bad about themselves (Low self esteem) hence causing them to skip questions during tests. Thanks for sharing your insight and Good Luck on your upcomming math unit exam!

    I suffer with Dycalculia and ADHD, so I never was able to catch up as a kid. This caused me to have no solid base. And in such a academic demanding country as Brazil, I thought I had no chances. Suddently, a girl who was in math olimpics team said that she actually wasnt a genius, she just liked math as a child, and most importantly, she trusted herself. After that I decided to pretend I liked math, and then I started studying it more. The satisfaction of understanding concepts that I thought I never would understand became addidcting, I started to build a solid base. And now... I treat it as any other easy subject. Anything can be possible if you think it is. So it's never late to give a second chance to math! Keep on going everyone

    • @emilyesnyman
      @emilyesnyman Před 2 měsíci

      ​@@mls5612
      For study techniques:
      - Adapted version of pomodoro method (I recommend 25mins on, 5 mins off, but starting with 10mins and then increasing over time helps with task initiation)
      - Using spaced repetition with active recall is a brilliant strategy
      - Blurting method & feynman technique is nice too
      For discipline:
      - Start with small, realistic goals (if you're having a hard time getting started, set a timer for 5mins and just do that. Normally after that you feel like you can keep going. Otherwise, take a break and do 5 more mins)
      - If you're really stuck in adhd paralysis, try just getting up to drink some water and take it from there
      - Using a timer in general helps with time blindness
      - Body doubling is a great tool if you can find someone to do it with you (either physically or over a call. Can work on the same thing or different tasks, doesn't matter)
      - Accountability is key in most cases. Tell someone what you're planning to work on, then you will typically feel more inclined to actually finish it. Ask them to check up on you, to traco your progress (but be realistic with it)
      And remember to always have grace with yourself. You are still learning how to navigate all fo this. You will try, sometimes you'll succeed and sometimes you'll fail. It's important that you don't beat yourself up about it, but rather have to courage to get up and try again.
      All the best!

    Number 5. This is the exact same thing I call "A small notebook concept" for AMC prep. Really well made video.
    I do think that I have taught students who have solved Cos x = 1/2 50 times and a week will go by and they cannot tell you the answer the 51st time. For some students they struggle to recall information no matter how many times they brush up their fundamentals so that maybe they will eventually get down the information but the amount of repetitions required and consistency as you note is not the same for each individual. You likely have a very good memory. But overall, very much agree with the entire video. The video design and effort while developing your other skills to also learn video editing, public speaking, teaching, really impressed.

    Okay i'm not even doing math anymore(opted out of it in high school) but i was RIDICULOUSLY poor at math before it (had As in all other subjects and would barely pass in maths so yeah), some of the things you said is absolutely true . I did work on getting my maths good and i went from getting 33/80 to 72/80 in a span of two to three tests and i really wish to learn some higher mathematics now after my prep phase is over . Maths asks for concepts and consistency . I hate admitting this, but i would try to get done with it in a single night, just before the test (😭), not read my school textbooks and instead jump to jee prep materials at once, not be able to solve a single question and get demotivated and leave it altogether.People knew me as the girl who could memorise everything and do just about that and not have enough "brains" for maths. It didn't help either that some other of my classmates just seemed to know the answer in a span of seconds after the teacher had jotted down the question on the blackboard. To anyone who can relate to this, yeah , i know the struggle very well, i treated maths as a monster too once, trust me, it's not. It'll be your best subject once you stop being lazy and give it some time.Just devote yourself to it, learning from the VERY START, and get the concepts on your fingertips, don't rush things, and know it's okay to struggle, but not to give up. Try to understand concepts by yourself ,do derivations and try to be your own teacher,trust me,it helps A TON. Focus on more and more practice, preferable from a single textbook at first, get thoroughly done with it , then move on to something else. Biology majors in my country have a horrible reputation for doing poor in physics because of all the maths involved, but trust me, most of it is easy to me , thanks to all that math taught me in school , both in terms of subject and perseverance and it helps you a lot with areas in physics like it did for me. Keep grinding, people😇.
    Also,there is something you forgot to mention, most people have terrible maths teachers who male maths a miserable subject for many when it's not. If you feel your teacher doesn't make you any better at it, or if your maths classes are a doze , get yourself on yt, there's a shitton on good teachers here who'll make maths incredibly fun for you. You can't ace any subject unless you enjoy, and most of us just suffer from that.

If math CZcams has taught me one thing a couple years back is that having someone explain it to you in a way that you intrinsically understand what's going on is crucial. And then obviously practicing, which is harder to get yourself to do.

    I easily get overwhelmed and when I can’t solve a problem or don’t can’t put logic in it, it makes me loose my mind and focus. It’s so hard, I always feel so dumb when I can’t even understand the simplest problems. I genuinely want to be good at math and it breaks my heart that I feel dumb every time…

    Idk how but one day maths just clicked for me. I gained some confidence in my self and knew I could do it and it helped, I udnerstood better. Another thing is that before I gained the confidence, I saw a CZcams video. This video said that maths is about understanding rather than just solving problems a certain way that is taught by your teachers. It’s not about by hearting formulas and just using them but it’s about how these formulas work. I started to do extra research on how things happen. Since maths is about making a problem, solving it and then finding out if your answer is correct according to the rules that are there, I just started to understand what it was all about and tried doing my old paper questions in which I got them wrong, I soon found out how easy they actually were.

    Great video, I absolutely agree with the principles you mention, yes the fundimentals and understanding how to apply them is the most important aspect of doing well. I am terrible at maths and failed out if it when going through school. As an adult I now have a four year old son and I can't teach him maths and numbers because I don't know them my self. As an adult I have an intuitive grasp of numbers that my son doesn't have, but I don't know how to explain to him how to do maths as I don't know how to do them myself or even what they are called so I can look them up. How do you look up how to add and subtract numbers?
    In this video you recommend grabing a text book (1:06) and doing all the fundimental problems. But I can't see how you learn HOW to do all the fundimental problems. Even in programs like Khan Academy, the program just lists question after question after question, but there is nothing that actually teaches you HOW to do each question. So there is no way to actually do anything. I can't find how to learn maths. I personally need it right back to absolutely nothing, but from what I can see it is the same at all levels. Lots of books with lots of practice questions, but nothing that actually teaches you how to solve the problems in the first place or what the problems even mean?
    Maths and the way it is taught, and how absolutely people who understand it fail to grasp what it is like for us folks who don't get it, is horrendous, and so the whole field is set up specifically to not teach you anything. It is extremely frustrating. Best wishes to everyone though on your journies.

    I liked your video, I am from Bolivia and I personally had planned to go to study at an Ivy League university or a Korean or Chinese university since I think that this way I would get the prestige that I longed for in the past when I was even more immature. What I am now I have a little more mental clarity and I even go to therapy and since I just graduated from high school I am trying to know myself more since I am taking pre-med courses that last 3 months, I already took my first exam and no It went well, I got a 26/100 so I'm still thinking about what I'm really good at and I'm interested since I think medicine is not for me. The worst thing is that my country is so corrupt and lacking a decent academic culture and those that There are very expensive ones and my family cannot afford it. I am just taking a speed reading course which makes me distrust the education I have received and if I compare myself to a Chinese person who at my age (18 years old) already masters so many languages and knows I calculate and he has studied more than me because I feel like a failure because if I travel to those countries to study I will feel inferior and less than others for not having had an education like the Chinese who spent their time studying from 8 am to 8 o'clock. 9 pm and I will always feel less than them, anyway I would like you to advise me on what I can do about my current situation.

    Any tips for someone who has a hard time grasping difficult concepts and then solving problems based on that concept (and a bit more)? I can confidently say that I have no issues with my basics, it's just that when I approach something new that's kinda hard to get by, I get stuck, and this isn't some normal kinda stuck. I get stuck really hard, and really bad, while others in my course struggle a little bit, but get over it quicker than me.

    After you finish a test, if you have time left over, do it over again without looking at the original. Then, compare them side by side. If you got a different answer, then go back and review each step to find your mistake. If you don't have enough time, then pick the problems that gave you the most trouble.

  • @usernametaken4023
    @usernametaken4023 Před 3 měsíci

    I love this video, however one thing I will disagree on: Asking questions during classroom. Yes you should always strive to understand everything, however sometimes the teacher is passing something you are not even equipped to handle, especially throughout college. Asking him to repeat the question or go through it again won't always change that. What I do recommend is to write down the parts of the lecture you had doubts and look up the subject on your own, either through the internet or through library books on the same subject. There are plenty of resources out there, and they all explain in different ways in which you might not have thought about. Having these secondary sources (to me at least) are paramount to having a better understanding of a subject.

    I used to always hate Maths but I've recently made peace with it after scoring very high marks for it in my final for Grade 12. One thing that immensely helped me was a huge stack of revision activities and past papers that my Math teacher gave me a week before the exam. I grinded through that for a whole 2-3 days and afterwards I got 81%. It's not the absolute best but the problem solving ability I gained and the new found respect I had for Maths was worth it.

      I did the test, currently it's pending for marks. I've tried everything he has mentioned, but here's the mistakes that I made:
      1) silly small mistakes
      rectification: These mistakes are primarily either caused by test anxiety, although this is not covered in his video, I guess the next steps are to minimize the test anxiety.
      2) tiredness
      rectification: It's not because I sleep late, it was because I was having anxiety because of an upcoming test which effects my sleep schedule - to rectify this, I would have to do much more homework problems, and possibly mediate prior to the test and prior to bed.
      Overall, I think I did good. I will share candid results here. Going into the test, I was confident I could do every questions, and this being trigonometry, even the harder ones were much easier.
