    Hey Ruby, can you please do a "what's on my laptop" video? Because I would really like to see how you keep/organize all the notes and other stuff on your computer :D

      Yes I would love to see that as well. A "Programs and websites every student should know" or "How to keep everything organised on your laptop" would be amazing. :)

      I know that Ruby uses Google Documents to write her notes which I do personally also. It is an amazing forum that you should check out. you can also sent and make forms, presentations and Exelerated documents for free from Google as well. I hope this was helpful! x

    How to take textbook notes
    1.put some small memo on the main headings of the book you are currently studying ,peel off the small memo when you finished a chapter
    2.read through the book once and highlight the key points,and then organise your notes from the key points you highlighted
    3.separate your notes into different sections,such as vocab,key quotes,key date ,key people
    4.use bullet points in every introdutive phrase
    5.ensure that your notes are as good as they possibly can be
    6.compare your notes to your class notes, drop down any information that you are missing
    7.add some extra informations to your notes that is overhead your learning areas in school
    8.colour code your notes according to the objectives
    9.make sure that you’ve understand all the topics before you write the notes,if you find your notes are not making sense,find a alternative resources or a video online,or just go to ask your teacher for help
    10.make sure your notes are comprehensive
    Please don't mind to correct me if I've make any mistakes,thx

    I liked the idea about writing a few notes on each passage and then typing that up. I usually copy the textbook word for word which I do know is not going to help me remember it at all. I'm looking for revision tips and ideas that work for me since I need to get a revision pattern before my exams next year. Keep up your great work!

    I have used the outline method for all of high school, but it takes so long to write out (we are not allowed typed notes) and the sequence of events aren't always as clear. I like the way they look but since I'm taking some online classes now I think I'll try your system and do it online. Thanks for the tips!

    whats better- writing notes by hand or typing them up?

    • @bmcdermott
      @bmcdermott 6 лет назад

      I'd say typing because it's faster, neater, and you can edit them later without having to rewrite the whole thing. However, if you're a slow typer, or your computer is slow, this may not be practical. Also, some people learn facts by handwriting them, so it may help you learn the facts if you write them :)

    • @artsenal714
      @artsenal714 6 лет назад

      Both have advantages. As for writing them up, you kind of have more freedom of doing different types of highlighting or even drawings. In a computer or a tablet, you can't do the exact same scrawls you can do by hand. Also is less distracting, because with a computer your tempted to open Facebook or RUclips while your studying. Besides there's a few teachers that are very annoying and don't allow students to use any kind of electronics in class. However typing your notes up is faster, your hand doesn't get tired, the calligraphy is obviously prettier and more understandable and you can edit your notes and don't have to rewrite the whole thing or use liquid paper. In conclusion, if for you is easier to remember information by organizing it in sort of a weird way or by drawings I suggest you to use a notebook. But if you don't have the best handwriting, you're not very organized or can't write fast enough to keep up with the teacher i suggest you to take notes in a laptop.

  • @skellyton6117
    @skellyton6117 7 лет назад

    I was wondering, wouldn't it be more effective to write your notes by hand, or at least after typing them up, try summarising the key details by hand into a revision-note book? In the exam, obviously you will have to write out the answers by hand, so wouldn't writing the revision notes by hand make you remember them better when it comes to the exam?
    Please respond soon!

    • @bmcdermott
      @bmcdermott 6 лет назад

      Ruby uses a Word Processor in exams, so that may be why.
      Also, for me, typing is considerably faster, easier, and means I can edit them after. However, both methods have their benefits, and it's completely up to you. Many people, as you said, learn by writing them out by hand, and it can be useful to practise writing, so that's a good option too

    hi ruby just wondering if you could answer this question
    would Hermione paint her nails

    • @sibylina127
      @sibylina127 7 лет назад +11

      Emma granger Hi there. I'm not Ruby, but I think I could answer the question as well. I think Hermione would paint her nails occasionally. Not on a daily basis, but I can imagine her using natural colours for special occasions like weddings. However I think it's more likely that she uses clear polish in her daily life here and there for a shiny look. I guess she would avoid fancy colours.

    • @ioanabucur06

    • @RubyGranger8
      @RubyGranger8  7 лет назад +16

      I agree with this completely - Hermione would probably paint them for special occasions (maybe even light shades of blue as well as neutral colours)

    @bmcdermott 7 лет назад

    I remember you once said you use a laptop/word processor in exams. May I ask why you use this? Is it because of a medical condition or simply because you want to/have bad handwriting etc. If it's the latter, how did you arrange to use a laptop?

  • @studinklings4407
    @studinklings4407 7 лет назад

    Hi Ruby! I was just really curious of how you are always so motivated to do all these and not give up? I always try to be motivated but fail in a few days :(

    • @bmcdermott
      @bmcdermott 6 лет назад

      Pinterest is great for motivational quotes (I believe Ruby has a Pinterest herself with studying motivation quotes as well). Also, revision timetables/plans can be great for keeping motivated. I often find that once I start, it's easier to carry on. I also watch Study With Me videos, like Ruby's, or GCSE results videos (or whichever exam you're taking).
      Remember that everyone feels demotivated sometimes, and it's okay to have an unproductive day once in a while. The best thing for this, that I've found, is when I feel demotivated, I will plan a few set things that I want to get done, and I won't let myself take a break until I've done those things (this is better, for me, than saying "2 hours of...", because it makes me more productive). It can be less things than usual, but make sure you write down a specific task (e.g. "maths past paper" or "annotate two chapters of Jane Eyre"). If you have a whole period of feeling unproductive, try and do less, but consistently. So, revise for less time per day, but ensure you are revising regularly every day. This makes it easier to keep going and less likely to fall into a complete slump. However, if it's because you're tired or stressed, sometimes it's better to just put your books away, get into some comfy clothes and watch a movie or something. One day off will make you so much more productive in the long run.
      I hope this helped

    • @bmcdermott
      @bmcdermott 6 лет назад

      Neither is necessarily better. It's different for different people.
      (1) Do you write or type in exams? It's good to practise your style.
      (2) How fast are you at writing legibly? You don't want to waste time spending ages over notes.
      (3) Typing: You can edit it after.
      (4) Writing: You learn as you write.

      I talked about it with my parents and class teacher but bullies didn't stop...They follow me and nothing will make them stop....

      leave school completely
      do homeschooling instead and goto college at 16
      you don't have to do ten gcse's maybe just do English and or maths as a private candidate if you want to or do them in college.

      I would but I have very strict parents and even tho they would try to help me,they would be mad because they will think it's all my fault..They are that type of parents who think kids under 18 can't be depressed,suicidal,bullied and so on...Or they think that it will ruin their reputation...Thanks again.

    How long does it typically take you to read and take notes on a textbook chapter?

      n. jewel, I’m not sure for her but I use the same methods and it usually takes me about 1-2 hours to complete a chapter , but my chapters are fairly long.
