What are your study habits? From elementary to high school,

>>7747719
you can't change your lazy habits, its your nature and its the way your brain works, you should chunk your study in small pieces for example solving a problem every two hours in the day.

>>7747727
but we can rewire brain, right.

You just need to get more interested. When you learn more you also get to understand very interesting results and problems which will drive you forwards.

is not as easy as that we people with attention problems don't work like that the only way is meds BUT it changes our personality and creativity.

>>7747741
I also thought that I had attention problems, but now I saw that I just really need to want it and I need to give myself reasons why I am doing it, and it keeps me in the place

>>7747733
Yes.

The only way to do that, is by doing more of the same, that is to say; study.

Keep up to date with your classes. By this I mean if time permits, you should understand what went on the previous lecture look at the in class examples and redo them without looking at the solution. Then a week before an exam read more, and do more practice q's.

you just gotta be sure you understand any given topic. Watch youtube videos and stuff. You will find a lot of it isn't that hard.

I don't think I entirely understand this. Somebody explain please

If you get an A+ at university without studying then:
>It feels unfulfilling
>There's a sinking feeling that you're at a shitty university
>There's a sudden realisation that you are at shorty university.

>>7747727
I changed mine, so I know this is not universally true.

Don't study in the same room you sleep in (and avoid studying in the same building) get exercise, don't listen to dance music or whatever while you're trying to study. Try to be around people when you're studying (this helps me at least, I feel uncomfortable with the idea that they'd notice me daydreaming).
Put your phone away and get off 4chan/Reddit/Facebook/yikyak/whatever
Add those to /etc/hosts on your laptop.

Also: don't skip lectures and do lots of practice problems (if it's math, otherwise just do the homework/readings) all of that should be a given.

>>7748794
Thanks! I haven't really been skipping a lot of lectures, so I at least know what we're talking about. The only problem is that I didn't do any exercises or practice or study on my own, so now I have to catch up with everything. I only wish I can manage it before the holiday ends.

If you studied 2 whole hours for highschool exams and still got shit marks, you're going to have a really bad time in uni

>>7748807
Yeah, it's almost impossible to pass university math classes without doing the homework.

>>7748862
But imagine those two hours like... searching for notes, copying notes fuck knows why, getting distracted a lot and just skimming through text... I didn't have any interest
