ABOUT ME
My name is Gohar Khan, and I'm an MIT grad helping you succeed at school. I make videos about study strategies, college applications, and occasionally, my day-to-day life. I want to equip students with the tools, knowledge, and resources they need to realize their academic potential.
CONTACT
Feel free to reach me via Instagram DMs or by email at support@nextadmit.com. Unfortunately, I may not get to respond to everyone, but I'll do my best!
Summary (watch the video for in-depth though):
1. *After-School Routine* 1:11-can relax for a little bit but then get to work immediately (make sure you clean your desk, update to-do list, get materials ready for work, then make sure you focus)
2. *Evenly Distribute Everything* 3:02-don't cram for assignments, spread them out. For example, if you have 100 pages of reading over 10 days, read 10 pages each day instead of most of it before its due
3. *Confronting Your Knowledge Gaps* 5:28 (probably hardest to implement but best impact/reward)-basically be objective. If there is something that is only vaguely familiar or you have heard it before without deep knowledge, then study it. Don't lie to yourself/be real and make sure you understand everything. One common thing that has happened to me too, as said in the video, was when an exam is returned for review, you look at it the mistakes and say that they were dumb mistakes. In reality, they were probably because you didn't study the topic well enough or that concept in the question. Use any helpful resource to fully understand a concept/term. Personally I would say this is very helpful and I agree: on an exam there could be a question you think you know but your lack of knowledge of that term/concept stopped you from getting it write. Related to this, improving test-taking skills/strategies are important as well.
4. *Get Comfortable Asking For Things* (asking questions) 7:26-Take opportunities through asking questions. When you see those successful college admissions CZcams videos, you wonder what extracurricular activities they did. Some things you probably cannot do, but some things that are quite significant you can do, one of these being research projects. You can then work up the guts to ask a professor, for example, to research with them. Another example is asking for promotions in a club for a vacant space as in Gohar's case. Basically, be able to find opportunities, find the right person for the right thing, and be able to ask for what you want.
5. *Do Something You Enjoy Every Single Day* 9:38-Working constantly will eventually burn you out, so make sure you have some quality relaxing time. Do a hobby, read a book, talk a walk, talk with friends, anything you find relaxing. One note though: limit use of social media and scroll for your breaks, as it wastes time and in the end tires you out. If you can't do a quality relaxing activity on the weekdays, at least on the weekends. This variety can make your day much better with all the stress you may have.
Thank you Gohar! Hope you all succeed, and the future will be great!
dang
Thanks
Thanks 🙏👍
Thanks , your comment was a summary of the whole video! This helped me understand the whole thing in 5 minutes! I appreciate the time taken by you to write this long comment. I hope you are doing well nowadays! Bye

I'm in grade 8 and I want to plan out my days effectively during high school. This video gives me motivation and I'll hopefully execute it! Thanks, Gohar!!
Same!
In 9th grade ur this motivation will be crushed 😂
Same!❤
gl!!
Same here
lol just finished college apps gohar wish me luck!
good luck!
good luck!! wishing you all the best 🙏
Good luck man, let us know the results!
Good luck!
good luck! My dad who is a college counselor was super busy today helping kids out finish!
I'm a high school sophomore who's been struggling to make an after-school routine and usually find myself wasting all the time that I have after school. This video motivated me to plan out a little schedule, and I hope it goes well :)
Good luck! I'm a sophomore too and I'm proud of you for beginning to plan out a schedule!
glad this video could motivate you! :) best of luck putting together your routine
I would actually love if you could make a video about sending requests to different people in leading positions. I had to try to do this kind of e-mails by myself and although I was partially succesful, I still struggled with the correct way of addressing the issue at hand. Please, if you have the time, I would be grateful for your tips!🙏
thank you bro i really appreciate your hard work and this video really gave me a lot of ideas and how to organize my team. best of luck
Bro ran a marathon, showered, and meditated for an hour in just 30 min💀
thank you so much Gohar. I desperately needed this video as I’m not doing so well academically. Im going to incorporate good and healthy study habits!
omg im now in high school but I've been watching you since the beginning of middle school and you have truly helped me whether its your techniques or just giving me the motivation to work tyyy
also the high school resume building video would be sosoososoooooo helpfulll
How’s high school going now?
Thanks so much for this Gohar. Your videos are helpful!
love your videos bro they help alot i watch them while cleaning or arranging my table or like arranging my next day backpack
Love the tips! I've implemented the first, fourth, and last habit for the most part but the second and especially third one are some habits that I still need to cultivate. The third one is so mentally hard to adjust to but I'll get there one day. Also, I know it wasn't the exact purpose of the video, but it was so beautifully edited and made the video really entertaining and comprehensive!
I fell for the first part of the video and literally start contemplating it, I trusted you too much gohar.
I was accually taking note on the first part ;-;
I’m moving on to my GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education) and my exams are soon. I followed these to build myself up and I feel more confident in myself now. Here in the UK, we have Nursery up to Year 11. In Year 3 you go to Primary School, and the end of Year 6 you move to Secondary School, which is where GCSE takes place at Year 10 and Year 11. Similar to the American Grades, we get our exam results/grade in a certificate. If we fail we can maybe retake. GCSEs are not easy. You take exams like Algebra, Trigonometry, Biology etc. I use my own Chromebook for my homework and I send my finished work to my teacher via Outlook. I use Google Docs since it’s way easier for me. The teachers are ok with it! I think I can impress the teachers with these.
Thank you, Gohar.
Thank you i really needed this video(advices and the last part the most)
00:01 Follow an after school routine
01:23 Having an after school routine helps prevent wasting time
02:45 Dedicate one day to each subject and distribute work evenly over time
04:12 Confront your knowledge gaps
05:30 Identify knowledge gaps and actively work on filling them
06:53 Use resources to fully understand terms and prevent dismissal of difficult topics
08:16 Taking initiative and reaching out to professors and advisors can lead to research positions and leadership opportunities.
09:41 Taking small breaks and doing things you enjoy can help you be a better student.

Thanks dude
thanks so much Gohar, you helped me become a better student.
Thank you so much im only in 8th grade and you've been helping a lot, thank you!
This helped me improve during college.
bro, every single thing u said in this video is soo true....... this always happens to me in my daily life.i always feel like an introvert , to ask someone anything.... and even if i dont know a concept , by the name of the topic i will think in my mind that i know it....
this video was really really helpful.....what you said was honest things ....
Bro the first few minutes you got me there, I was like this is such BULL if you can squeeze in all those things; running a marathon, meditating, listening to music in a matter of 30 minutes..
wow thanks gohar for tips im sure i will try these out
Just made my college decision! I will be joining the University of Colorado Colorado Springs with a major in early childhood education for the Fall 2024 semester. It feels unreal to even say that. Thanks to your tips, I feel a lot less stressed about college and the road ahead. Keep doing what you're doing, you're a saint. ❤
Why did u choose this college tho
@@user-qv7vm3tg1n great campus, awesome town, excellent program for my major, and a lot of scholarship opportunities
I am a freshman and am doing terribly in school, thanks for the motivation!
Hey, Gohar! I've been watching your videos for a while, and I wanted to ask if you had any tips on dealing with procrastination and/or lack of attention? Thanks!
I’m a middle school student I haven’t start the second semester yet so I decided to watch this vid and it is so helpful for lazy
Gohar, your tips are just out of this world! Have started to follow these in my new academic year of school. Keep it up buddy.

A lot of videos about habbits of education and education itself, only complain about education systems, and the stress. Your videos are trying to help people get over it, and help others become better at organization, and skill to overall do well. This video is very helpful too.

I like the way he is so smart😂

Hi Can you make a video exaplining what a formula book is and how to make one ?

Gohar, i just want to say thank you for helping my habits and techniques for studying. Im currently in grade 8th right now and my dream is to get into MIT, i know its still 4-5 years from now but i have to study now to get high grades. Sorry if my grammar doesn't make sense since im just an Indonesian student and is still currently learning english. Thank you Gohar
thx for the tips
Thank you Gohar! My grades have declined and you have helped me.😊
Very useful ❤😊
Thank you
Depending on your school schedule, something I like to do is go home and take 10 minutes to read/play with my dogs, etc. Then, I’ll study until nighttime.
On weekends though, I don’t even want to touch my backpack.
Basically, study till’ you can’t anymore during the week, and take the weekend to relax! In my personal experience, this is how I get straight A’s every year :)
-an 8th grader
I do the exact opposite lol, I don't touch a pen on weekdays but on weekends i study at least 8hrs+, ofc different methods fit different people i just kinda find it funny how we do the exact opposites lol
as an 8th grader studying that long is abit mad
I’m an 8th grader too, but depending on where u live you can get away with studying 1.5-2 hrs each day. I got valedictorian from just doing that in 7th grade (maybe my school is just not smart lol)
@@ibrahm533fr, especially if you’re in the US
@@ibrahm533 I skipped 2 grades :) starting to regret that but straight A’s are always nice!
Hey thank you for this video. I will start this year in a mechanical Engineering major in Germany (I'm German tho). I'm looking forward to use your advise
I got admission and starting this week, this very help thanks for the tips
goodluck man
@@ImaginedVibez thanks
Thanks
Hey Gohar, love your videos! Great one as always. Please could you make a video of what high school students should do during the holidays, they are amazing
Yes! Please!
GOHAR! Should I listen to music when I study.
Gohar, you are just a living legend.
I am a highschool student and in grade 9, I didn't finish any assignments, the reason for that is because I used to be a perfectionist back then, and I failed 1 assignment so I just quit doing the other assignments. It is not that I am lazy, I was a perfectionist. I am in grade 10 now and everytime I fail an assignment I just doubted myself that I did the assignment in the first place.
You are the best teacher ever!
please make the video on going out there and finding such clubs and funding and all that stuff
Really helpful advice
hey gohar, I am new to this channel and am in 6th grade( 12y old ) and I really love your vids. Your shorts are soo good that they have made my average grade from a 60/100 to 95/100. I even just started a youtube channel beacuse you inspeird me to.Ty for all the good tips and bye
The video came in its best time❤
Gohar honestly your amazing and you’ve helped me a lot thank you
You should make a video just about that. Could you also make a video talking about how to get in to the university of Virginia?
I was about to skip the video at the start 😂😂
Exactly
I heard you talking about the cold showers and the running in the intro. I was terrified of having to start this to become a better student 😂
Does this help for middle school cause if not can you make a video to help a middle school student be a more prepared student and get good grades?
Hey Gohar, love your videos! Great one as always. Please could you make a video of what high school students should do during the holidays
enjoy yourself if you are working 27 everyday
yeah gohar pls
Omg the intro was hilarious. I was writing notes on it!!!
Yeah
Same
Why is this community so friendly
I feel really called out on habit number three.
Thanks 😊
Love your shit Gohar
I need this guy as my teacher Bru for tips too
Thank you
the fact im a yr 7 watching this college_high school video but im still gonna do it
You have to start studying hard listen i am going to be in 9th grade after this year i was smart kid but after being in 6 to 8 grade start going crazy you just should avoid anyone and just make a friend zone of smart people if its that bad to be alone for you
This may all sounds crazy but props to you for having a disciplined like that
Oh shi I thought it was true
