Applying yourself is half the game.
Quite a few high IQ people use their IQ to skate through school and still manage decent grades 3.0=B average
You don't have to go to a top school
If you dont have a job get yourself one to understand applying yourself.

Shut the fuck up nerd.

>>136066074
Get the fuck out of here with your shit blog post, cock sucker.

>>136066074
It did to me. I figured it out though. My life feels like my own again for the first time in a long time.

>>136066579
Yeah, I think that if people don't feel the need to do something, they just end up doing it half assed or wrong. It's just that all these years of not doing anything (caused by bad schooling that didn't challenge the student), have ended up in this problem where I'm so far behind on maths in relation to my coleagues that I don't know how I could possibly pickup.

>>136067061
What did you do anon?

Actual advice before the thread gets deleted: Go full tryhard mode and get a 18-20 in the math exam. If you go for computer science that's like 50% of your application. If you quit a certain subject the grade you get in the exam is the final grade of the subject (may help you boost your GPA a little). Inform yourself in school and shit.

You are not above average if you post this on pol btw
>>>/adv/

>>136068461
Yeah I'm going to annull Maths so I can salvage my grades, but in the process, if I fuck up the exam, I'm fucked for real. This school system is a fucking joke. What do you think about OUR system of education?

>You are not above average if you post this on pol btw
I did post it on adv before I posted it here, but adv is quite a dead board, and since I mostly roam around pol, and we think alike in terms of politics, then I thought you guys would tell me good advice.

blump

I just saw your post on /adv/. If by "MIT" you mean IST then you are in for some disappointment (I'm in it).

>Get 18 or more in the math exam, its not that hard
>Re-do some exams to boost your GPA
>You're actually smart for posting on /pol/ since it has the flag system
>Your math exam will be actually hard (no elections the year you're doing it) so if you ace it you'll have a clear advantage over others.

>>136070480
Holy shit you got me. Yes I want to go to IST.
>Get 18 or more in the math exam, its not that hard
I've been slacking for a long time how can I pickup? Should I start with 10th grade again like im learning from scratch and work my way from there?
I'm on summer break right now, should I start studying for next year's exam right now?
Also how is your uni disappointing?

Why the fuck was I opposite. C- student until grade 10, then straight A's to graduation. Fucking brainlet.

Our school system is a joke. Most of the people who get in the top degrees of our country only know how to do tests and that's it. Most of them are brainwashed blue pill minds.

Other tips:
>There are actually 3 phases of application. Use them all if you need. Even if it says there are no openings in the 3rd phase, apply. Lots of people quit the first 2 weeks of college.
>Do the 2nd phase exams, you can use them on the 2nd and 3rd application phase of college
>Apply to different colleges with lower GPA. You can then try to change to a different one.

There is a forum named uniarea for questions like this. Good luck.

OP you're not smart, you're average at best. If you were smart you would be able to get by even without trying.

>>136066074
>didn't work hard so I have bad grades

>>136071809
yeah, most of my colleagues with A's just memorize entire pages of the books and just right what they memorized in the tests. But if you ask them a question about it out of context, they wouldn't have a clue. It's fucking sad and enfuriating to me that these "brainlets" are getting getting great grades while i'm fucking sucking ass at school.
>>136072185
>Our school system is a joke. Most of the people who get in the top degrees of our country only know how to do tests and that's it. Most of them are brainwashed blue pill minds.

Don't even start on the bluepilledness my goodness... The amount of commies in our country is disgraceful to say the least.

>There are actually 3 phases of application. Use them all if you need. Even if it says there are no openings in the 3rd phase, apply. Lots of people quit the first 2 weeks of college.
What if I apply to school A(the one i want to go) and B(as a plan B) and only get into B? Should one accept or wait for the second phase while not atending any uni in the mean time? What should one do?
>Do the 2nd phase exams, you can use them on the 2nd and 3rd application phase of college
Wait, can't you use the 1st phase in the 2nd phase of applications? That sucks! Thing is 2nd phase exams are usually harder.
I had heard of uniarea before but was not too sure about their advice. Thanks anon.

kek, estonia stronk

I've been slacking for a long time how can I pickup?

12th grade is all about math, real math. Practice a lot and do your homework. If you're going for IST you should also have picked chemistry.

>Should I start with 10th grade again like im learning from scratch and work my way from there?

Yes. Also do a brief about all the important stuff.

>I'm on summer break right now, should I start studying for next year's exam right now?

Here is your first redpill on college and portuguese exams: Do A LOT of exams from the previous years. This is how people get good grades in Portugal. Right now you should just review the 10th and 11th grades so you can do those exams in the 12th grade.

I recommend that you first visit the college you are going to. You are going to spend some years in it. IST is full of bluepill cucks. This is from someone who is in IST. I would recommend FCT, better people and better employees. Also visit uniarea (google it), its for questions like this. Good luck annon.

Same here, OP. Public school is bullshit. I was an AP student in high school, near perfect GPA, 2200 SAT. I never paid attention during class because I was always zoning out and daydreaming. I would wait until the night before tests and learn everything in a couple of hours. Got lots of praise from teachers even though I was shit at being a student. Then I went into Mechanical Engineering in college and started flunking classes. Realized I didn't know how to study and literally unable to focus on anything for more than a couple of minutes. Became depressed and borderline suicidal because I didn't think that I was capable of being such a fuck up. Eventually I got prescribed some adderall, changed my major to Computer Science and now I'm struggling to keep my GPA above a 3.0.

>>136066074
WOW A 135 IQ?!??

>>136066074
Where are you from OP? Graduated this year, going to start college in the next months.

I'm similar to you except I'm literally god-tier at everything BUT maths. School was a breeze and I also never developed a study habit except in the 7th grade, where I said "What if I actually sat down and read stuff a week before the test?" (as opposed to a day before.) Anyway, I graduated high school with a 17.25 average (3.0. GPA is what? 15?)

My advice to you: study hard for your Portuguese and Math exams. Repeat your 11th grade exams this year if you have to. Also, I hate the commie garbage in our programs. You're lucky because they're getting rid of Saramago this year. Fuck that communist piece of shit.

>>136073662
Even if it's full of cucks, I've heard the reputation you get from majoring there is good enough to get you a very good paying job right in the start.

>Yes. Also do a brief about all the important stuff.
What do you mean by important stuff care to specify?

>What if I apply to school A(the one i want to go) and B(as a plan B) and only get into B?

Accept your destiny. But NEVER PAY FIRST. I got scammed 300 euros... The system changes your college if you get accepted in the 2nd or 3rd phase but you should go to the college you get in the 1st phase.

>Wait, can't you use the 1st phase in the 2nd phase of applications?

It's the best grade you get out of the 2 that counts so ye you can.

>Don't even start on the bluepilledness my goodness

IST is the meta of bluepilledness. I've also met some nazis so it's not that bad. Most of the people here are code monkeys. Go for FCT, you have been warned.

>>136074258
>Where are you from OP?
I'm from the capital.
>I'm similar to you except I'm literally god-tier at everything BUT maths.
Yeah I'm kinda in the same range, I love philosophy and english is well... easy as fuck. Yeah the problem incides in maths only.

>Also, I hate the commie garbage in our programs. You're lucky because they're getting rid of Saramago this year. Fuck that communist piece of shit.
Ah, we'd be great friends if we knew each other. I fucking hate communism as well. We have environmentalism up the ass in our classes, it's pure brainwashing.

>>136074330
whoops something wrong there.

>>136074428
>Accept your destiny. But NEVER PAY FIRST. I got scammed 300 euros...
So, basically, don't pay my tuituion until i'm in the right uni?

>It's the best grade you get out of the 2 that counts so ye you can.
All right so you're advising me to take both phases in any event?
>IST is the meta of bluepilledness. I've also met some nazis so it's not that bad. Most of the people here are code monkeys. Go for FCT, you have been warned.
But isn't the starting pay better if you major in IST?

>Smart but lazy meme
If you're as smart as you claim go take the SAT and score at least a 2000/2400 (or whatever the equivalent is on the new scale)
>>136074186
135 is nothing to sneer at, especially depending on the test he took

>I've heard the reputation you get from majoring there is good enough to get you a very good paying job right in the start.

Not really. Most people get 800-1000€/month. If you graduate from other colleges you may get more. Lots of companies that go to IST are globalist consulting firms that will eat your body and soul. Seriously visit the college first on the open day. Just think a little: If the people with the best GPA are the ones who memorize the commie garbage, won't they also be in the colleges with the best GPA?

>>136074775
Philosophy was easy in the 10th grade (had 18), but in the 11th grade the professor switched and I royally fucked up the first two tests on logic so I had to pick the scraps back up and ended with 16, which brought down my two-year average to 17. The rest tho were from 17 to 20 but for Maths (14).

>Ah, we'd be great friends if we knew each other. I fucking hate communism as well. We have environmentalism up the ass in our classes, it's pure brainwashing.
Tell me about it. Gladly my best friends are also right-wing and "red-pilled" on popular /pol/ topics (jews, academia, communism, etc.) so I had a blast throughout and we'd always back each other up whenever some retarded teacher or classmate tried to refute us.

I know i know. We don't do SAT tests over here but i've heard your SAT tests are our average 9th grade math tests.

>>136075383
I was looking to study computer science, what do you recommend? I just want to be around smart people and get the best pay I can after college.

>>136074775
Also I should add that I did several psicanálise tests on the 9th grade because I was undecided as fuck about what course I'd choose and it turns out I have an above average "comprehension skills" for language-related things but a lower than average mathematics comprehension skills.

btw where did you get your IQ tested and how much did it cost?

>All right so you're advising me to take both phases in any event?

Yes.

>But isn't the starting pay better if you major in IST?

No. From the data that I've collected people pay you more if you can talk like a human being. I'm going to change college in my master degree.

>What do you mean by important stuff care to specify?

Stuff you need to memorize. The exam structure is always the same. In my 12th grade I would put all the shit that I was supposed to memorize in my calculator. (My memory sucks, still don't know how I ended with 18/20 GPA)

>So, basically, don't pay my tuition until i'm in the right uni?

Yes, don't be me. They are worst then ((them)).

You are going to love college anon. You don't have to go to classes and ear the commie talk.

Kinda similar except I never became retarded. Even in Grade 11 and 12 I always had an average of B+s even though I LITERALLY never studied and always assignments the night before. People always told me I was smart but you can't fight the apathy.

>>136075507
aka stop being lazy, yeah i know, i just need some guidance.

Yeah my median of 10 and 11th grade excluding math is 16.5. I have a 11 median at math though ;(

Tell me, where do you find these people? The people on my class are such sheep, I'm looking into joining JSD (juventude social dem.) just in the hopes of meeting new people.

You had luck sir. In my class I usually speak up but the people either don't care, are sleeping or never back me up. Also the teachers are always PCP supporters (exageration) and if I write shit about "le communism" I get beaten to death. This last year I debunked in class the gender gap and people and the teacher were completely outraged, started calling me mysoginistic and shit. Also I got extra homework from that bitch of a teacher. Fuck the school system.

My tip?
Build up an habit, if you want to stop being lazy you need to start doing something in a regular basis. Use an hour or two to read or study or making your homework if you have.
Understand that your innate skills are not enough if you want to be above average. I used to be like you, I was the best of my high school promotion, I went to the best medicine University in Colombia, and it got me how unprepared I was. Don't commit my same error, preparing yourself and making good habits it's essential to have success

>Tell me, where do you find these people? The people on my class are such sheep, I'm looking into joining JSD (juventude social dem.) just in the hopes of meeting new people.

PNR is the redpill party in Portugal. They also have a "juventude" and meetings.

>tfw friends and I openly bragged about Estado Novo's righteousness and Salazar's achievements

During college I had a class who was always empty. The teacher began telling how everything was a lot worst during Salazar and the Estado Novo to brainwash the students. I gave him the look. He then made everything he could to pass me that year so that I wouldn't redpill everyone in the class. Would do it again.

>>136076189
>No. From the data that I've collected people pay you more if you can talk like a human being. I'm going to change college in my master degree.
Then what college should one go to, in order to get the best pay in comp. science?

>Stuff you need to memorize. The exam structure is always the same. In my 12th grade I would put all the shit that I was supposed to memorize in my calculator. (My memory sucks, still don't know how I ended with 18/20 GPA)
Ah so review and write down the formulas and all that shit?

>Yes, don't be me. They are worst then ((them)).
That made me kek nice job.

>You are going to love college anon. You don't have to go to classes and ear the commie talk.

Well my best friend happens to be related to Venezuela so he's red-pilled on communism. The other is literally a Christian fundamentalist who wants a theocracy and the other guy, while not close to me like the other two, happens to be a math/chess genius and can filter through the logical fallacies of SJW bullshit. If you join JSD just make sure not to be an asslicker and never show them your full game. Join the monarchists as well, they're probably better.

>This last year I debunked in class the gender gap and people and the teacher were completely outraged, started calling me mysoginistic and shit. Also I got extra homework from that bitch of a teacher.
Ha! I did the exact same thing this year and it was the complete opposite. We were doing these oral presentations in English, and the cucks there did their usual anti-Trump/anti-white male propaganda, one girl did one about the wage gap. I was going to do a speech about Patton but last minute I said "I can't let this bitch get away with these lies" so I drafted one full of red pills about the wage gap and how it's bullshit when you compare same jobs and same education level, explained that women can be single moms, take more unpaid vacations, are physically weaker. Then I made some feminist jokes (compared them to whales or bisons or whatever), said they were all "frustrated obese middle-aged women who smell like cat urine" (at this point the guys in the class were like "Holy shit the mad man is actually doing it" because when the girls were talking we were kinda looking at each other like "Really?"). Teacher (female) also started laughing, gave me a 20 for the presentation. Top kek. My economics teacher supported Trump in a lot of ways and criticized commies and the "direita" alike. I might have been lucky.

>>136077432
>PNR is the redpill party in Portugal. They also have a "juventude" and meetings.
I'm not into fascism myself, I identify more with right wing libertarian ideals, so PNR is out for me. Sad there isn't a libertarian party over here.
>During college I had a class who was always empty. The teacher began telling how everything was a lot worst during Salazar and the Estado Novo to brainwash the students. I gave him the look.

Wow alpha as fuck. That teacher must have been a cuck. In my case, everytime i spoke up I only got more homework.

What college do you advise for comp. science?
>>136077650
Tell us your story anon.

>Then what college should one go to, in order to get the best pay in comp. science?

Faculdade Ciências e Tecnologias (FCT). You'll make good friends and get a better pay check. People are more red pilled there and aren't exploited as much as the ones in IST.

>Ah so review and write down the formulas and all that shit?

Yes.

>Yeah i cant wait to stop being forced to listen to dumb shit.

You'll still have to listen to some bs. But you can just leave.

I enjoyed school until I was made to go to some private Anglican dump in 8/9. Fucking hated it, never recovered the enthusiasm. OP, you have to realise that a better GPA will make getting into uni easier, so just hit the books and grind for your last year. School ends then your life begins, so set yourself up as best you can.

>>136066074
I feel no sympathy for pseuds like you.
You're not special.
There are countless people more intelligent than you who worked harder than you who deserve more than you.
Go fuck yourself, lazy entitled piece of shit.

Also I'd recommend not joining PNR's youth groups because, let's be honest here, PNR might be a nationalist party, but they're the stereotype nationalist party full of un-ironic skinheads and losers who won't stop complaining about wogs all the time. Not that I don't have my complains as well, but those guys are on hate mode 24/7 and might be a negative influence on you. Hell, they may start saying you shouldn't focus on school or try to be anyone in your life. A good strategist knows you must first be better in your life than your opponents so you one day accept power and crush them. Those low-lives have no concept of that.

>>136077939

WTF kinda crazy world do you live in? Lemme guess, did you go to a private school? In my school it's either go commie or go home. I have no idea where you got those teachers, you must have some great parents.

>I'm not into fascism myself

Unlike what the media tells you, they are not fascists. People just say that because they are against Muslim/black immigration and multiculturalism.

PSD is also good, but I don't like them because they are full of free masons and stole a lot of money from the country.

work really fucking hard
it's summer now but last year was year 13
i realised i was gonna fuck up bad so i just worked like a madman
16-18hrs a day
EVERY

it felt like i was going insane for three months but hopefully it'll be worth it when results come in

Don't dismiss memorization skills. There are a lot of people that can't do enough memorization to pass high difficulty courses. Memorization isn't the only component of intelligence but it is a component and if your ability is not high enough then you will not do well in school.

As for your grade situation can you transfer institutions in Europe? Here in America you can attend community college, get good grades and, if you are in the right state, attend a school just as good as the people who did well in HS. You can thank liberals for building the community college system cuckservatives.

>>136066074
teach yourself skills then use those skills to make money. Also keep upping your skills.

No, not really. I'm from lower-middle class, went to a public school. I just never really learned to back down, and people often say I "intimidate" others because I'll go completely against what is being taught but still sound like I know a lot more than what the "official" program is trying to sell us. As for the teachers, they always loved me because I'm likable, even though I used to be one of the troublemakers in primária, but always got away with it.

>>136078578
What's wrong with going full libertarian? I thought I was talking to a disgruntled mensch, not a libertarian. Go ahead, it's not like they'll behead you for advocating less spending and less taxes, I did that regularly too. Join the online Portuguese libertarian groups and circles, become involved.

Also, monarchists are our allies. Don't call yourself red-pilled if you're not a monarchist sympathizer against the degenerate democratic hordes.

How many monkey brains did you eat? I heard that causes memory problems

>>136066074
This is pretty much me. I've developed an unhealthy relationship to studying since I've had it very easy before and during high school. I had decent grades in high school and started studying economics at uni. But that's when the real problem started. I understood everything during the courses and aced most single essays and group essays. The real problem was the exams bc it was basically just memorizing bs facts. Since I had no real routines for studying and was/is insanely lazy I barely passed the exams up to the point where I started failing them completely. After 3 semesters I dropped out and started working low end jobs.

This is why I find higher academic educations somewhat bs bc it's only about your ability to memorize through studying. I worked in group projects with people who was so fucking dense but still ended up passing all exams bc they just mindlessly put in the hours studying.

Anyway I decided to lower my standards and will start studying to become a nurse this fall since I don't really have an obsession with making lots of money and at least want something to show for when I'm 25.

So you should basically give up any dream of a top academic education unless you're ready to change up completely and put in the hours.

Same story, but I dropped out of high school in 10th grade to work and got an adult diploma. Not a GED but a diploma for adults who work full time. You go to school 1 day a week. You take six classes and get all of your homework assigned. No lectures. I graduated in 6 months and started JR. college when I was 17. No debt because I was working and using my intelligence to make real money. Paid for school with cash. No need to go to a top university go to a state college and do the dumb shit they ask you to do (memorize) as you learn more on your own instead.

Fast forward 20 years... I make over $100k a year and can retire right now if I wanted. My job is a super technical job that I gravitated to naturally and I got all the certs needed to do my job without the schooling and the debt.

My state college degree was in finance if anyone is curious. JR college degree was business.

>>136079178
>You are not above average if you could not do 11th grade math.

I would rate my intelligence around the same as OPs. ~130ish. Unless you have legit genius IQ of ~150+ and photographic memory then you won't be able breeze though school and compose the next great music symphony. People at around 2σ can only breeze through lower maths but still require some work ethic to excel at higher maths,

>>136079517
>This is why I find higher academic educations somewhat bs bc it's only about your ability to memorize through studying. I worked in group projects with people who was so fucking dense but still ended up passing all exams bc they just mindlessly put in the hours studying.

This isn't entire true. As I already stated memorization is one aspect of intelligence. See people that legitely can't memorize and you will understand. You need good memorization to complete in curved majors at prestigious unis.

Second and more to your point. Education matters a lot IF you choose the right (rigorous) major. For instance if you attend a good business school then you will learn frameworks for breaking down business problems and developing possible solutions or alternatives. Seems simple but almost no one does it and people require practice learning these skills. Likewise if you do mathematics or statistics then you will learn the importance of variables and assumptions made in your forecast. So if you choose to major in basket weaving instead of critical thinking then that's your mistake.

I personally am incredibly happy with the education I've learned and it's helping me immensely.

But can you get good grades and then transfer to a good top-tier institution? That is the question.

In the USA you can get reliably into UCLA, Berkeley, Cornell, USC, NYU, Top ~20 universities from community college. It's not as good as Harvard or Stanford but still very well compared to all other institutions.

>>136066074
You are not dumb. You can obviously get results if you put in the effort.
You have a choice now. If you want to play by the rules you will have to find a way to keep yourself motivated.
Yes, the school systems suck around here. Yes, you won't find more than 1 in 20 teachers who will honestly make an effort to keep you interested.

I don't know my IQ so I can't tell how's it from your point of view, but from mine, I learned that I just have to put time into learning. I found no way around.

>>136079212
>I just never really learned to back down, and people often say I "intimidate" others because I'll go completely against what is being taught

>Join the online Portuguese libertarian groups and circles, become involved.
I know miseanos portugueses. Do you know any other group? I'd like to meet with people in person and they don't do any meets (the miseanos).
>Also, monarchists are our allies. Don't call yourself red-pilled if you're not a monarchist sympathizer against the degenerate democratic hordes.
Oh I'm all for changing this "democracy", now giving someone free moneis is just a waste of money in my opinion.

>B-but the median is worse, therefor the college is worse and the pay is even worse!!!!!

Hope that's sarcasm (people actually believe that until they die). The median of the course is not proportional to the pay. I know a guy who took 5 years to do a 3 year bachelor's degree in a college with a shit reputation, he spent 3 months looking for a job a got one that pays 1100€/month.

I'm on the same degree as him and everyone who graduated from IST gets 800€-1000€/month. I hate the educational system so much.

Meh not really. I just know rhetoric and how to stand my ground against commies. I've read so many articles and books on socialism that it's very unlikely people around our age group will be able to debate it. You just have to know how to overwhelm people with so many facts, data and historical happenings they'll say "nope, this guy is way out of my league." and back down. For example, in the 11th grade my favorite teacher was from PS and he of course tried to influence us, but as soon as I said I read Hayek and Mises he knew I wasn't a sheep, so we kinda spent the year recommending each other books and overall exchanging friendly banter after the classes.

I don't know any other group that is not pozzed but for Mises. Also, it is not true that they don't do meetings, they do in Lisbon from time to time.

Also you didn't answer my question as to where you did your IQ test and how much it costed.

For highschool look into the israel gelfand highschool books or maybe serge lang if your short for time. Also use a good geometry book like hartshorne euclid and beyond.

You might have it slightly better then.
I say slightly, because there will still be a shitton for you to memorize. don't take me wrong, you'll still have to study countless hours, but if you are smart, you might be able to understand the subject faster.

When studying engineering, deep understanding could mean the difference between studying 300 hours and passing, and studying 300 hours and failing the exam

>(in my country, only GPA matters in the college application).
There are no college admission tests? I did ours in my first year of HS, and it put me in a completely separate admissions pool, my grades didn't count worth shit.

If I were you I'd see if you could do another country's admissions test, with some studying you should definitely be able to pull off a 99+ percentile score. Most of them are at least half IQ test anyway, and I'm sure you can pull yourself together to study for one exam. That could land you a spot pretty much anywhere if you're willing to study outside of Portugal. My tip would be not to stray. Spend a year or more working if you have to, that'll get you started in life and give you some perspective. You want to be absolutely certain you're going in for the right stuff, or at least have the backbone to tough it out. Most people don't work in the field they're trained in anyway, so once you're in just fucking stick with it. I would actually recommend working for a bit even if you've got something in mind just to get your life on track, some money and some independence, and learn a bit about responsibility. You're still a fucking kid and know nothing but dependence, you could be a fucking planet-sized AI and you'd still lack perspective.

Just don't fucking skip around, and do not waste time. Have a plan, there's a reason every interview asks where you see yourself in 5 years. Anyone who hasn't thought of it isn't going anywhere.

>>136083111
I had the same experience in school. Haven't been tested but hit the ceiling on the military recruitment test (130+). Our system is dogshit, 15 year olds in the 70's learned 2 entire years more of mathematics than they do now. Hell, grade 10 mathematics is pure repetition because we have no standards and never fail people. Gifted and private education are explicitly illegal. Commies here almost succeeded in removing university grades, got the max grade reduced to 75% results. I enjoyed school, since I spent so little time learning, but studying our school system is what taught me to hate.

>should I start studying for next year's exam right now?
Yes. The most important thing is you plan things out and structure it. Check your old curriculum, see what they expect you to know. Don't drill it, don't memorize, understand it. Make it light and don't cram. Space it out with an hour or so every day. This makes you feel worthless and weak if you don't, which is a fucking good thing. Invite your conscience to beat your ass blue when you fuck up. Then you drill, do freshers to make sure you use it and remember what you've learned. Mathematics has a uniquely low workload, if you can actually understand what you're learning instead of just memorizing it you're golden. The chain-rule is like a semester's worth of maths just because you can't make retards understand, only remember. You're not a retard, don't study like one.

Yes, precisely what you described happened to me. The solution is simply that you need to get off your ass and get serious. Our society, even with it's antiwhite, anti-male standards, is still full of second chances.
You're probably going to have to work through college. It's actually good for you, though. You will probably have to take out some loans. You'll be able to pay them off later. The key here is to start changing that laziness. Any improvement you can make at all will benefit you more than you realize.

>>136066074
>136066074
Pretty much the same boat as you, friend, although in my case it didn't get to be a problem until the last year of high school. I can't say much besides psychologically training yourself to do two things:
In the short term, you have to learn to hate bad grades. This is what saved me from caving, as I would do anything to avoid getting below a 90%.
But in life, you also need to develop planning skills, and be very disciplined in not deviating from it. That is, if you have an idea of what you want to do, then you should draw out for yourself exactly what you need to accomplish (for example, taking certain uni courses/passing certification exams), and then focus on actually learning/succeeding in those things.
Good luck.

i doubt that very much. if you're referring to math component, yeah, it only tests up to algebra, but it does that so niggers can't complain about it being biased(although they still do). Europeans have probably heard this and misconstrued it to mean that it's ridiculously easy(it's by no means hard but it is still designed as somewhat of an intelligence test). The math is supposed to be difficult, but not something you don't have the tools for, i.e. they'll give you algebraic problems that aren't straightforward.

Happy to help, but take my words with a grain of salt. I'm still very much a lazy bastard.

The bottom line is it just comes down to motivation, and the only person who can truly give you that is yourself. From my experience, I have to work with what I know is important to me, so I 'force' myself to act. The easiest way is by using relationships/favors--like asking a girlfriend, sibling, parent, etc not to do something until you show proof of accomplishing a goal. That's only useful for getting yourself into a habit, though, as I'd imagine they would get tired of monitoring you.

To do well in school you need to be intelligent but you also need to be disciplined. You need to set aside most of your free time for studying and work through every assignment as slowly as you need to in order to understand every part of it.

I am still conflicted on this matter. Stay here and fight for the soil my forefathers built or pursue my self interest and start a family somewhere else free from this degeneracy.
