1. Halo effect - professors impression of you ( eye contact, note taking, sit in front) 2. Plan like you’ve never planned before (calendars, syllabus, highlight) 3. Know game plan - components of each class (grading scale) ask upper class men for advice 4. Surround self with smart, accountable friends 5. Make projects mean something ( invest time in) 6. Send assignments early to professors ( they will tell you what you did wrong) 7. Be meticulous (perfection) 8. Be efficient (each class requires different strategic study plans) 9. Know your limits (make plan according to your preference) 10. Eliminate distractions and say no to Netflix 11. Study to UNDERSTAND!!! (teach yourself) 12. Change game plan to each class 13. Prepare for crunch time (practice problems and exams) (ready to go) ( diy study guide) 14. “Do more than what was asked” “be extra” take resources you have and utilize them
when I am "extra" I don't realize it myself, my friends are smarter than me and they point that out like it's a bad quality I have. I just want my work to be correct, I don't understand how that's bad.
I prefer sitting in the back of the class. It makes me feel safe and comfortable. I get anxiety thinking about all the people behind me when I sit in the front. 😭 I know it sounds weird.
IT'S TOTALLY TRUE!! I really hate it when I need to sit at the front as most of my friend sitting at the front, and I am scared to sit behind as I have no friends to sit with. But what I can conclude, sitting at the behind DID help to prevent anxiety like you said. The most important thing is to take notes what the lecturers are talking so you can make its reference later, as oppose to sittting in front and just feeling awkward the whole lecture
I totally agree! I'm a Stanford Bioengineering major doing Pre-Med, I posted a similar video on my channel with different tips and tricks on getting a 4.0. Let me know if that helps! Email me at rlama22@stanford.edu if you would like :)
It’s not weird it just that we are scared that people may hurt us with words or anything I can feel the pain I’m a student in Saudi Arabia and they hate lgbtq members and some of them can get killed of it but I’m trying to hide it but they bully me cuz my voice a bit girly so they bully me at it and the genders are in Separate school one for girls one for boys I love Saudi Arabia but i can’t live in my true me 😔
If you can slowly confront this fear and anxiety through exposure therapy, this may lessen over time. I did this with public speaking and fear of heights (self-guided, took 10 years, slow progress, real results because I kept challenging my fears)
In summary 1. Sit in the front. Halo effect. 2. Plan like you've never planned before 3. Know the game plan, the components of the class 4. Befriend upperclassmen 5. Surround yourself with smart and accountable friends 6. Make your projects mean something, you get something in return 7. Send your assignments early 8. Give attention to details 9. Be efficient 10. Know your limit 11. Eliminate distractions 12. Study to understand 13. Change your game plan to each class 14. Prepare for crunch time 15. Do more than you are asked I would still recommend to watch the full video to get context and more tips!!
Mila Giovanni I agree with sitting in the front because there is actually a name for this area and is called the "T-zone" area and this is usually the area the teacher will see and lecture too.🙂😊
Not the top student but here’s an extra tip, teach others! It really helped me and truly test your understanding becos most of the time you think you know what you know but when you try to teach it but can’t, you will realise maybe some parts you are still not clear about or you do not understand the concept well enough to explain to someone else
This is great advice and worked well for me. Also, your professor may notice this as well and will use you as a basis for grading, putting you at the top in their mind even if you're not 100% sure on everything. They will have more respect for you too, which can translate into brownie points for a recommendation or real points to your grade :)
HEY KYU a great tip ( Whay i like to do is use a dry erase board and say it to my self what i am doing and why . Just as if i was teaching it to the class this helps a lpt’’’
When ever my sister has a test, she gets the white board and starts pretending like she's explaining or teaching the lessons to others, and sometimes she explains it to me and then i resay what i understood, and if its correct that means she understands it too, and i think its a rlly good way to see if you understand or not, im not exactly sure if it helped her or not, but i say try it
I ABSOLUTELY love how there is NO music in the background or music playing over you, it increases the 'advice' zone, makes me feel like she's my big sister and we're in a room where she can give me advice. I love it. Just us, and a ton of helpful one-on-one info. Very different compared to all the other youtubers in the same boat!
I have written 5 professional exam, i failed for each time I took this exams. for the 5th attempt, I was frustrated. I decided not to take the exams anymore. However, in March, 2018, I travelled to see a friend who just took this same exam without stress, so i wanted to know the success story and why mine is different. He actually told me he was introduced to someone who can get answer key and change grade. To cut the story short, I took the exam now and I have passed the exams without nobody would ask me how I did it but does it matters? All I know now is that I’m where i want to be. i will appreciate the effort of this name below
about taking an A in a writing class .. I wrote my essay over 4 times and he kept on giving me a B every single time I told him what can I do to get an A in this essay he is like I don't know I would recommend looking at you paper more ,.. he corrected it more than once till here was nothing to correct anymore. but he still instated on giving me a B. i had another class after this .. and asked my teacher what can i do to get an A. he said no one gets an A in my class. sometimes the problem is not with us, its with the teachers themsleves
I switched from the liberal arts because of that. Most professors in the arts tend to be that way. Go for STEM. Professors there aren’t like that and either you know the answer or you don’t. That determines your grade.
I'm going to be a Junior in High school and I have been pretty much a straight A student my whole life but I'm always stressing and I procrastinate like nobody's business so I've gotten to the point where I can ONLY work well under that pressure but I think that in High school the teachers tell us that we should worry more about what we are learning rather than grades but they have already instilled in us that grades are more important and that's why kids stress, or cheat, or do drugs. But it's also that we are more stressed because we are TRYING TO GET into college. Once you're in college you are there and you can learn to work in a more efficient way but we are worried more about grades because if we don't get good grades we won't MAKE IT to college. So I think it's different kinds of stress. And adults are always like "you shouldn't be stressing this much you're just a teenager" but we are all like NO YOU DON'T BLOODY GET IT BECAUSE WE HAVE TO GET INTO COLLEGE AND IF WE DON'T WE WILL BE FAILURES FOR THE REST OF OUR FUCKING LIVES. You know??? I haven't even started school yet and I'm already stressed
Divaliciousbeauty123 Most likely our parents went to college too and had to pass tests in order to get in. Our parents didn't have google to help us with research they had to go to the library and seek out different books and pin pointing information was much harder so in reality school has been hard for many generations. Sorry i just thought your comment was funny because teenagers don't know how much harder school used to be because our parents had type writers and couldn't afford to make mistakes on a paper. Don't compare their generation to ours or say they don't understand because they do😂. Btw I'm not trying to sound rude i just thought i would enlighten you on the fact that school has always been hard and will continue to do so. I hope your junior year lightens up with stress and that it won't be so rough!
I'm not even talking about my parents I'm talking about society. And I'm well aware school has always been hard. I was talking about how they (adults) are always saying that we are teenagers and we shouldn't be stressed because we don't have to deal with what they have to as adults, but we have our own stress and shit to worry about. And scientifically speaking our brains aren't as developed so some things that are extremely important or stressful to us, won't seem as stressful to them. Albeit I'm writing this- what- a week after I posted? So I don't know exactly what I said word for word, I'll read it again. Nonetheless, I think you were missing the point in what I was saying.
Also wanted to point out the outside factors that add to a student's stress. It's complete BS when a student has a hard life at home that no one knows about and then teachers are even bigger asses.
4.0 student here both in my undergraduate and graduate school. I would skip half my classes, get distracted on my phone/laptop, sit in the back of class, stay up all night due to Netflix, skip chapters in the book, BS papers... Lets just say I had every bad habit, except I rarely procrastinated, listened when it mattered, and always did my work thoroughly but not perfectly. I think the key is to know your professor's style and to do your homework early. I would be able to study much less compared to my peers because I understood what the professors expected and their exam style. If I did my homework early, I would do quality work and catch my own mistakes.
hey, can u help me out? i'm a science stream student & i swear i didn't know what to do to ace in certain subjects. i always 'whatever, simply go for it' my results are always so so, i wanted to get to dean's list :((
This is more useful that the whole video.. no offence to the girl. Get it done early, and well. That is the key. Any tips on how to know what the profs exams style is like?
Something about this video is so soothing. Idk if it's your voice or the fact that there's no distracting music in the background while you're talking or the soft lighting, but this video makes me feel like I can take on the world.
I dont even know you or your channel but your video was so calming. It wasnt the kind where you just forced points into your video. It sounded like real advice
3.85 gpa student, senior in college: the greatest thing i've done in college to help my learning is reading a book called A Mind for Numbers by Barbara Oakley. It's a cheap, short, and easy-read. It has nothing to do with numbers. It literally teaches you (in a sometimes comical and entertaining way that includes real life instances from the author) how to study in ways that work for you. This is definitely worth your time. Read it! I can't recommend it enough. Another good tip: use rate my professor before you sign up for classes. Your teachers are a big part of the grade you earn. If you suck at essays, try to find a professor that doesn't assign many essays. You need extra credit? Find a professor that gives extra credit. Also, get at least 3 people's number on the first day of class. They will be your lifeline when you can't find a study guide, you missed class, or you have a question about an assignment.
Words cannot express my feelings, nor my thanks for all your help, could remember quite vividly when my school grade was very bad, thought I would be bounced from college .thanks to you so much..
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can you do a separate video on how to study well for specific classes (science, math, eng, history etc.) This would help a lot!!! thanks so much ily
My grades where really low, was almost asked to leave the college if fail the next exam coming , I was really scared at that point how i would get my grades changed from F to A or my exam questions and answer. I felt it wasn’t possible but on a second thought I had no choice but to give a trial this name belowbdid the impossible never believed my college website could be hacked
In certain classes those students go to the back, aka the bad and talkative ones. Which is the occasion for my school. So I prefer the front because less eyes on me and students don’t go to the front so no people.
i just told all my techers i have poor eyesight and i got placed in the front row everywhere, also, tell them its too loud/distracting to sit far back or simply that you cant hear what the teacher is saying
Please do a deeper video about studying and how it differs between classes/subjects!!! I totally suck at understanding what material is actually needed/not needed to know! Also habits of studying and tips to remember what you studied
9:44 yes this works really well. I had precalculus and I broke down the amount of questions and finished a chore. Okay "5 questions then do 5 minutes of washing dishes. Try to wash 7-10 dishes in those 5 minutes. Then go back to my homework and do 5 questions then 5 minutes of dishes" and I did that and in like an hour I finished a lot of dishes, and my big homework packet. And I still got an A+. Take it from the girl who got a 110, 99, 100 on the only 3 tests of the semester. (I'm not bragging, I'm just showing an event I went through that strengthens her position) :)
This is so smart, (no wonder you did so well). You did your homework AND chores. That is extremely productive. I'm lucky if I can get all my homework done, let alone do chores. Thanks so much for the tip.
Whoooooow..i feel very pressured in my life..my major is nursing..and...i feel like its too much..sometimes i wanna cry...for my psychology class i have to read 3 chapters before the test comes..in like 2 weeks.. am hoping that soon i'll change my habits and become a great student.
i am so happy, I found your channel and content really helpful this name below, sir but I have a query. Sir, I am from Ohio and wanted to send my high school transcripts to WES. But I don't know if transcripts released from my local school would work or I have to Contact CBSE board and my State board who conducted my 10th and 12th class exams respectively for my transcripts.
Omg, you just gave me so much motivation! I'm trying so hard to be a straight a - or/and b student - last year I was a straight b/c student. I thought I was so clever of studying all the time, but you know what? You're so right! There was so many nights I sat awake and studied till 2am or so, just cause I'd say that I had done it for so long.. But no.. I'm gonna change the study routines now. So thank you so much!
If you still need assurance when someone says "understand not memorize" I hope you find my personal experience helpful. For my history test something like that idk what's it called in English, I did not study one bit and the test was two days away. On Sunday, I wanted to study history but I had a lot of topics to cover and I just had no idea where to start. In my class group chat they said that the teacher will be telling us what topics will be coming out so I freaked out less and decided to study other subjects for the remainder of the day. The next day, the teacher came in and she said "I'm sorry but I cannot tell you what topics that are specifically gonna come out because I haven't fully seen the paper but I'll tell you what I know." I almost broke down after she said that. The test was literally tomorrow and I haven't studied crap so I just sat at my table and stare into the wall. What the teacher said was not that helpful as the scope of what I needed to learn in ONE DAY was still large. Finally I got up from my chair and I asked my teacher, "can't you really tell us anything at all?" She looked at me and said sorry but she can't. I was about to turn around and walk away saddened by what she said when she stopped me and said "hey, don't memorize just read and understand." I nodded my head and tried to lift my mood up. When I went home I just crammed and read as much as possible. I took out my highlighter and just started reading and highlighting and understanding as much as possible. I even woke up at about 4am to pick up other topics that I haven't touched. During the test I just wrote everything what I thought was right cause I remember one thing my teacher said to me that had me more confident in history, "there's nothing wrong in history because as long as your answer is logical it's correct unless your answer is completely off topic then you're wrong." This is my tip to you if you have no idea what the answer is gonna be on your history test/exam; don't leave anything empty and bullshit your way through it even if you think it's wrong just bullshit your way through. When it was time for results I got really nervous cause for my country if you fail history you fail everything. Lo and behold I got an A. A fucking A. Do you know how amazing I felt? I never gotten an A on history ever. For my real history exam on the other hand I did this method too, of course I studied before hand like weeks earlier. And would you look at that I got an A again. Summary: 1) understand not memorize 2) don't leave the answer sheet empty 3) just bullshit your way through. That long essay that you have no idea what to write down? Just bullshit it, write everything you remember, write everything you think is right and hand your paper in. That's it. Remember, they can't deduct marks because you are wrong so the only time your marks alter is when you get something *right* I hope I helped some of you. Sorry for the long comment
The part about getting sleep is really important! It is more beneficial to go to sleep rather than staying up all night studying. Your hippocampus in your brain is responsible for memory, in particular long term memory. When you are tired that part of your brain cannot retain information properly. When you go to sleep it helps your body rest and recharge, and allows you to process and retain all of the information you have learned that day. With lack of sleep it doesn't give your body and brain enough time to do that, so you may have known something at 2 am but once you wake up, it most likely didn't stick with you!
tbh bailing on your friends is true and thats what moved me from number 400 student to top 5 among 1000 especially when most of them have tons of drama
super true about sitting in the front & mixing w smart ppl!! Last year I did that and from failing in my prelims, I passed all of my subjects with flying colours end of year !! but honestly it actually starts from urself. you need to want to improve and thn u have to see what you're weak in. You also need to keep a good eye of ur journal. You should plan ahead what u should do on the actual day. You should also try to re-do worksheets your lectures give you to ensure you 100% understand it and obvly if you dont understand you should firstly ask your smarter friends and if not ask your lecturer privately. & dont be easily distracted because you need to know what is more important ! you need to know what to prioritize!!
I’m a 3.9 GPA student, and everything you said is SOOOOO true. Especially the advice to sit in the front! I’ve been homeschooled up until college, and I didn’t know why, but I just didn’t want to be associated with the “distant” students who sit in the back. It helped me get noticed by my coordinator and get an internship early. Glad to hear it has a name, “the halo effect”!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I'm a senior in high school now and my goal is to actually know and understand what they're actually teaching me and I wished I could've known this earlier because the mistake I've always made is to just memorize the things a day before the exam... hopefully this year I don't make that again, I'm making an effort here! And thank you this video helped a lot.. you're so nice!
Yes I'm in 7th and I've never really cared about Ivy League, because an A there=an A at a normal Uni, but I am still obsessing over college. Unfortunately, my parents think I shouldn't be thinking about it at all and won't take me seriously🙁. Oh well, at least I know what I'm going to do with my life. 🙂
@@andriawall4141 you should definitely not be obsessing over college. just try your best in school and try building good study habits and keeping them.
I saw students like me recommending some professional for grade changes. I'd say it's a life changing experience because I actually spoke with this name below and they explained all the process involved in accessing your school Portal and making the required changes you instructed them I'm so happy right now and I have to let everyone know their service yon can contact them.
I have been a straight a student since 3rd grade (I am going into 8th) so here are my tips (I might make a vid on my channel about it) 1. Be respectful to kids and teachers 2. Don’t be late to class/ know your schedule 3. PARTICIPATE/ be the good kid 4. Help other kids/ give others study guides 5. Help the teacher (organize her room, collect homework, etc) 6. Make a playlist that helps you concentrate (recommend no words) 7. Have a positive mindset on school 8. Be organized and organize your books and locker 9. Check your planner and grades whenever you can 10. Hang out with the right crowd/ don’t let others distract you from learning :)
I'm a senior in high school, and I am extremely proud to say I have a 4.1 GPA, and hopefully I'll keep it up in college- I guess we'll see. Thanks for the tips, Olena!
Please please please a video for the specific clases study guides! I'm starting college this fall (biology major for veterinary school afterwards) and I am TERRIFIED
Krystal N. Rosado Hey, Natural Science pre-nursing major here. Don't worry! All you have to do is stay on top of your game and remember your end goals. Make time for the important things and try out different ways of studying. There are a few classes you can slide by but others require time. You're going to have a lot of science and health based classes so I suggest study groups, Quizlet, handwritten notes, making friends with your professors. You got this! Good luck!
I'm starting freshman year of high school in 11 days and I'm here to learn about what I should expect from college and one thing that terrifies me most is not being able to remember what I'm supposed to remember and end up not being good at my job. I'm planning on becoming a wildlife veterinarian. Can you tell me what all the majors of veterinary are?
Ill update yall how my grades r like so i remember now my grades are: Physical Ed. - Quarter 3 B+ (87.5%) - - - - - English - Quarter 3 B- (82.8%) - - - - - Math Math S - Quarter 3 C (76.2%) - - - - - History C History - A- (90.0%) - - - - - Science Science A+ (97.1%) - - - - - Math Support A- (92.0%) edit: hahaha so what happened was i got a boyfriend and my grades went big down i ended up having a D/F in history and math ... all for what? bc we broke up after like 3 weeks. edit 2: ok so corona happened luckily there arent grades and i should have been happy about my grades then but now theres only p for passing and nm which means failing i have a nm mark in math and science and over 30 missing assignments and tmr is the last day of school hopefully next year ill do better andd i struggle a lot with math and i havee horrible attetion problems and i always leave things to the last minute which I should prolly stop doing
i cry in april Study the general concepts and know how your teacher makes the tests. See if he focuses on names, events, dates, etc and make sure to study those more. If you know the concepts well, and you know a decent amount of other things, you should be able to piece it togethrr
I enjoy this type of video, primarily because my son is in his first year of college. I can tell you as a long time IBM employee, that your tips work in business as well. Getting projects in ahead of schedule, arriving at key meetings early and sitting up front, you bet these things get noticed! I will most definitely share this video with my son!
I'm a Stanford Bioengineering major doing Pre-Med, I posted a similar video on my channel with different tips and tricks on getting a 4.0. Let me know if that helps! Email me at rlama22@stanford.edu if you would like :)
I'm much older than you are and a stay at home mom so I didn't think this video would be for me but I watched anyway. I'm so glad I did! You gave some great tips that I can share with my son who's in high school, he's really struggling right now and has this mentality that he just needs to get by with B's and C's. I want him to give it his all and put forth a little more effort. I know he can if he'd just try. It isn't about the grades it's about character and motivating yourself. These years are so important because you are shaping your whole future and the type of person you will become. Sorry for the little rant lol. I think this video and any future videos you do like this will be so helpful to others. A+ from this mom. 💜
I hope this is true. I try so hard and I just don't get math. I try to go for help everyday and still do terrible. I tried so hard, studied so hard and still barley passed. I passed math this year with 51%. In starting to think it's going to be impossible for me to do well.
About six years ago, I stumbled on this video, and it completely changed my academic journey. Your practical tips and inspiring advice on achieving a 4.0 GPA transformed how I approached my studies. Fast forward to today, I’m proud to share that I graduated summa cum laude, and a huge part of that success is thanks to your content. I just wanted to express my deep gratitude for being such a positive and motivating influence. Keep being amazing-you’ve truly made a difference in my life!
I'm usually in the back with all my friends and we all get good grades - sitting in the back and not talking a lot makes the teacher think your shy and that's the students that most teachers like, I mean all my teachers love me so idk.
I had the bad idea to hang out with friends that wouldn’t pass and not worry about so I saw my grades drop and when I started to hang out with smarter, more accountable friends my grades went back up as we studied together and helped each other
im working towards becoming a fighter pilot and you need to be top or one of the tops in your class. Im a hs senior and my grades have always kinda sucked. (overall probably gpa of 3.6) Im nervous that when i hit universtiy i wont beable to maintain a 4.0. Thanks so much for your advice!
I posted a similar video on my channel with different tips and tricks. Let me know if that helps! Email me at rlama22@stanford.edu if you would like :)
Im a good student & i always been one, butI'll be honest with yall, ive been lazy with school and too busy with other things that don't matter whatsoever. I know my worth and what im capabile of, just work hard & you'll succeed!! You have to believe in yourself that you can do it & that's the extra push i need this semester!
Assurance and peace of mind are very important in living good life generally, I have not been the type to have always enjoyed a smooth way too get a perfect grade until this name below was able to come through and gave a perfect grade .
I'm starting my second year and this was soo helpful!! I'm taking more on my plate this year and want to challenge myself after a kind of bad first year. I plan on making this year the best!! I have been watching your videos for a long time and have loved seeing your channel grow!!! ❤️❤️
You want tips I’ll give you some tips. Look up pain vs pleasure you know you don’t wanna do this assignment because you brain knows it’s not food, games, or exercise. Think about the pain if you don’t do your school work. Then fill out a to do list in each of your classes throughout you go so u don’t forget anything. Then set early deadlines for yourself and ignore the actual deadline because this can get your assignment done earlier.
I like how you emphasized on making sure to understand the information instead of just memorizing it! That’s good advice for me in particular because I was the one in high school that would procrastinate a lot and cram information, so fully understanding the subject wasn’t in my best interest. In turn, I forgot a lot of things that I learned in past classes. LONG STORY SHORT... very helpful advice!😁
Thank you!! I will apply those tips. I really liked your advice on understanding rather than simply memorising. It’s definitely the way to actually remember the material which could be of use in the future. I hope everyone watching this video benefits a lot and exchanges their own experience and results. My best way to focus study is early in the morning after having a cold shower.

I’m just about to start my freshman year of high school so I was wondering if anyone has any tips (they could be social, more oriented to studying etc.)
Lorde of The Rings high school is like a change in your life because you see who your real friends are and what you are interested in but my advice is to get involved in clubs or sports it might be the best thing ever I joined the cross country and track team freshman year and its the best decision I've made to this day and I'm a junior also don't get too involved in relationships freshman year focus more on yourself and close friends I hope this helped
Lorde of The Rings get a 4.0 your freshman year. Freshman year is BY FAR the easiest academically, and a 4.0 will cushion your cumulative GPA later on if you slip up.
I'm in 7th grade, learned more than half of these this year. I live in New Jersey, (best public schools in the country) AND MAN IT'S HARD AS HELL! I'm glad I can find a college graduate who is tipping others the way that I've found best for myself.
Complete papers early and ask your professor to proofread them for you this will show your professor that you are getting it done early and it gives you time to make any changes the professor would like to see
I went online on Google searching for a hacker to help me fix my school bad grades. I discovered this hacker that has been responsible for changing the grades of student worldwide, so I decided to hire him. The changes are permanent and untraceable till now. Contact hacker TOMJONES6061 on Instagram and WhatsApp +1 (475) 219 1703....
So im a senior in college and i have dropped classes too bc i saw what the profs game was with the class (to try and make everyone fail) and i dropped ASAP. Do not think just bc you signed up for a class and prof you NEED to stick with it. Make your sucess happen for you. That's the beauty of college.
I’m a straight A student and people ask me all the time how I do it. They say they studied but still failed quizzes and tests. One thing I do know why they are failing is because they dont CARE. If you don’t care for your future then it’s gonna fade away and soon you’ll find yourself lost not knowing what to do.
A big appreciation goes to this name below a great hacker with great skills I can’t believe I passed all my failed online classes after the service I hired this team for
i'm going into sophomore year of high school, but still this is seriously the best advice. a lot of things you said my parents have told me 😂 like i never believed the sit at the front of the class one, but really it's true. thanks so much 💗
I haven’t been in college since 2011. I was doing really well while I worked in the medical field and it was so much fun to go off of the traction. I allowed myself to truly feel my problems instead of running away from them and it has been very difficult to get myself motivated again. I’m starting with taking notes about becoming a better student to start the traction to this endeavor. 💪🏼 🐢 slowly but surely I will get back on track! Thank you for all of your tips. Btw, I noticed someone recommended meditation. I’d also recommend yoga. Both of these are very chaotic at the beginning and the more you know your body the more you will be calm with trivial decision making.
I'm a Stanford BioE student, and I posted a similar video on my channel with different tips and tricks. I think mine are really different from theirs. Let me know if that helps! Email me at rlama22@stanford.edu if you would like :)
Guys listened to this video before I started my freshmen year of high school (1year ago) and the results I got were shocking. On all of my classes I had A’s including a challenging AP class. If I did not watch these kinds of videos before I started that year I would’ve probably been lost and not end up with the results that I have now. I highly recommend you reminding yourself of these key aspects of getting A’s BECAUSE THEY ACTUALLY WORK IF YOU WORK HARD ENOUGH.
Isn't it scary how much the decisions and things we do as teenagers and young adults affect the rest of our lives?

Your comment is going to be I'm my nightmares
1. Halo effect - professors impression of you ( eye contact, note taking, sit in front)
2. Plan like you’ve never planned before (calendars, syllabus, highlight)
3. Know game plan - components of each class (grading scale) ask upper class men for advice
4. Surround self with smart, accountable friends
5. Make projects mean something ( invest time in)
6. Send assignments early to professors ( they will tell you what you did wrong)
7. Be meticulous (perfection)
8. Be efficient (each class requires different strategic study plans)
9. Know your limits (make plan according to your preference)
10. Eliminate distractions and say no to Netflix
11. Study to UNDERSTAND!!! (teach yourself)
12. Change game plan to each class
13. Prepare for crunch time (practice problems and exams) (ready to go) ( diy study guide)
14. “Do more than what was asked” “be extra” take resources you have and utilize them
when I am "extra" I don't realize it myself, my friends are smarter than me and they point that out like it's a bad quality I have. I just want my work to be correct, I don't understand how that's bad.
Thank this was helpful 😂
My school has a seating chart for EVERY class so I can never sit in front unless placed there :(
thank youuu
Your behind one
I prefer sitting in the back of the class. It makes me feel safe and comfortable. I get anxiety thinking about all the people behind me when I sit in the front. 😭 I know it sounds weird.
IT'S TOTALLY TRUE!! I really hate it when I need to sit at the front as most of my friend sitting at the front, and I am scared to sit behind as I have no friends to sit with. But what I can conclude, sitting at the behind DID help to prevent anxiety like you said. The most important thing is to take notes what the lecturers are talking so you can make its reference later, as oppose to sittting in front and just feeling awkward the whole lecture
I totally agree! I'm a Stanford Bioengineering major doing Pre-Med, I posted a similar video on my channel with different tips and tricks on getting a 4.0. Let me know if that helps! Email me at rlama22@stanford.edu if you would like :)
It’s not weird it just that we are scared that people may hurt us with words or anything I can feel the pain I’m a student in Saudi Arabia and they hate lgbtq members and some of them can get killed of it but I’m trying to hide it but they bully me cuz my voice a bit girly so they bully me at it and the genders are in Separate school one for girls one for boys I love Saudi Arabia but i can’t live in my true me 😔
If you can slowly confront this fear and anxiety through exposure therapy, this may lessen over time.
I did this with public speaking and fear of heights (self-guided, took 10 years, slow progress, real results because I kept challenging my fears)
No in like that aswell
In summary
1. Sit in the front. Halo effect.
2. Plan like you've never planned before
3. Know the game plan, the components of the class
4. Befriend upperclassmen
5. Surround yourself with smart and accountable friends
6. Make your projects mean something, you get something in return
7. Send your assignments early
8. Give attention to details
9. Be efficient
10. Know your limit
11. Eliminate distractions
12. Study to understand
13. Change your game plan to each class
14. Prepare for crunch time
15. Do more than you are asked
I would still recommend to watch the full video to get context and more tips!!
THANK YOU LIFE SAVER
Thank you!!
Mila Giovanni god bless u
Mila Giovanni BLESS YOU
Mila Giovanni I agree with sitting in the front because there is actually a name for this area and is called the "T-zone" area and this is usually the area the teacher will see and lecture too.🙂😊
I destress by reading my Bible! And taking notes or watching a sermon. I like writing down what stresses me out. Then I pray about it. It helps me!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thats really good, hope you're still talking to God 🙏
TOMJONES6061 on Instagram help me to fixed my school bad grades. The changes are permanent and untraceable till now. He is a competent hacker
God bless
I write down which stresses me too!
Not the top student but here’s an extra tip, teach others! It really helped me and truly test your understanding becos most of the time you think you know what you know but when you try to teach it but can’t, you will realise maybe some parts you are still not clear about or you do not understand the concept well enough to explain to someone else
HEY KYU To add onto this, even if you don’t have anyone to teach, pretend to teach an imaginary person. Personally, it has the same effect :)
This is great advice and worked well for me. Also, your professor may notice this as well and will use you as a basis for grading, putting you at the top in their mind even if you're not 100% sure on everything. They will have more respect for you too, which can translate into brownie points for a recommendation or real points to your grade :)
That is true!
HEY KYU a great tip ( Whay i like to do is use a dry erase board and say it to my self what i am doing and why . Just as if i was teaching it to the class this helps a lpt’’’
When ever my sister has a test, she gets the white board and starts pretending like she's explaining or teaching the lessons to others, and sometimes she explains it to me and then i resay what i understood, and if its correct that means she understands it too, and i think its a rlly good way to see if you understand or not, im not exactly sure if it helped her or not, but i say try it
Can you please do a note taking video?
this would be super helpful!
Yes!!!!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Yes please!!!
YESSSSS
ShineBrightStars yess that would be so so helpful
I ABSOLUTELY love how there is NO music in the background or music playing over you, it increases the 'advice' zone, makes me feel like she's my big sister and we're in a room where she can give me advice. I love it. Just us, and a ton of helpful one-on-one info. Very different compared to all the other youtubers in the same boat!
I have written 5 professional exam, i failed for each time I took this exams. for the 5th attempt, I was frustrated. I decided not to take the exams anymore. However, in March, 2018, I travelled to see a friend who just took this same exam without stress, so i wanted to know the success story and why mine is different. He actually told me he was introduced to someone who can get answer key and change grade. To cut the story short, I took the exam now and I have passed the exams without nobody would ask me how I did it but does it matters? All I know now is that I’m where i want to be. i will appreciate the effort of this name below

about taking an A in a writing class .. I wrote my essay over 4 times and he kept on giving me a B every single time I told him what can I do to get an A in this essay he is like I don't know I would recommend looking at you paper more ,.. he corrected it more than once till here was nothing to correct anymore. but he still instated on giving me a B. i had another class after this .. and asked my teacher what can i do to get an A. he said no one gets an A in my class. sometimes the problem is not with us, its with the teachers themsleves
lmao that's messed up
I switched from the liberal arts because of that. Most professors in the arts tend to be that way. Go for STEM. Professors there aren’t like that and either you know the answer or you don’t. That determines your grade.
thats so true :(
Agreed
Rozaa Qtr lmao that teacher should be fired wtf?
Somebody's gotta mention her eye colour right? It's bloody perfect.
Sophia Y I have her eye colour
Perfect? Sounds pretty Nazi to me...
Sorry but this video wasn't about her eye color, its about studying. Everyone has their own beautiful features it comes as no surprise

I'm going to be a Junior in High school and I have been pretty much a straight A student my whole life but I'm always stressing and I procrastinate like nobody's business so I've gotten to the point where I can ONLY work well under that pressure but I think that in High school the teachers tell us that we should worry more about what we are learning rather than grades but they have already instilled in us that grades are more important and that's why kids stress, or cheat, or do drugs. But it's also that we are more stressed because we are TRYING TO GET into college. Once you're in college you are there and you can learn to work in a more efficient way but we are worried more about grades because if we don't get good grades we won't MAKE IT to college. So I think it's different kinds of stress. And adults are always like "you shouldn't be stressing this much you're just a teenager" but we are all like NO YOU DON'T BLOODY GET IT BECAUSE WE HAVE TO GET INTO COLLEGE AND IF WE DON'T WE WILL BE FAILURES FOR THE REST OF OUR FUCKING LIVES. You know??? I haven't even started school yet and I'm already stressed
Divaliciousbeauty123 Most likely our parents went to college too and had to pass tests in order to get in. Our parents didn't have google to help us with research they had to go to the library and seek out different books and pin pointing information was much harder so in reality school has been hard for many generations. Sorry i just thought your comment was funny because teenagers don't know how much harder school used to be because our parents had type writers and couldn't afford to make mistakes on a paper. Don't compare their generation to ours or say they don't understand because they do😂. Btw I'm not trying to sound rude i just thought i would enlighten you on the fact that school has always been hard and will continue to do so. I hope your junior year lightens up with stress and that it won't be so rough!
I'm not even talking about my parents I'm talking about society. And I'm well aware school has always been hard. I was talking about how they (adults) are always saying that we are teenagers and we shouldn't be stressed because we don't have to deal with what they have to as adults, but we have our own stress and shit to worry about. And scientifically speaking our brains aren't as developed so some things that are extremely important or stressful to us, won't seem as stressful to them. Albeit I'm writing this- what- a week after I posted? So I don't know exactly what I said word for word, I'll read it again. Nonetheless, I think you were missing the point in what I was saying.
Thanks I hope I'm not stressed too. Though that's entirely unlikely. So hopefully I actually live long enough to get to Uni. 😂😬
Also wanted to point out the outside factors that add to a student's stress. It's complete BS when a student has a hard life at home that no one knows about and then teachers are even bigger asses.
You should check out the i procrastinate podcast on iTunes it's really helpful!
4.0 student here both in my undergraduate and graduate school. I would skip half my classes, get distracted on my phone/laptop, sit in the back of class, stay up all night due to Netflix, skip chapters in the book, BS papers... Lets just say I had every bad habit, except I rarely procrastinated, listened when it mattered, and always did my work thoroughly but not perfectly.
I think the key is to know your professor's style and to do your homework early. I would be able to study much less compared to my peers because I understood what the professors expected and their exam style. If I did my homework early, I would do quality work and catch my own mistakes.
hey, can u help me out? i'm a science stream student & i swear i didn't know what to do to ace in certain subjects. i always 'whatever, simply go for it' my results are always so so, i wanted to get to dean's list :((
This is more useful that the whole video.. no offence to the girl. Get it done early, and well. That is the key. Any tips on how to know what the profs exams style is like?
J H maybe ask someone who had the class before old exams?
The “I try hard and work hard but still do bad and fail” gang wya✌️✌️😭😭

dudeeeeeeee i feel you
🙌
Hawra Datoo right here 🥱
Eyyyy
I love the fact that you don't have the habit of saying "um" or "like" after almost every word! And great advice, thanks!
Sarah Desmond honestly!!!!
Great advice.
Something about this video is so soothing. Idk if it's your voice or the fact that there's no distracting music in the background while you're talking or the soft lighting, but this video makes me feel like I can take on the world.
“Regardless of what grades you get, you’re still an amazing human being”
My parents would beg to differ, that’s why I’m here
I dont even know you or your channel but your video was so calming. It wasnt the kind where you just forced points into your video. It sounded like real advice
3.85 gpa student, senior in college: the greatest thing i've done in college to help my learning is reading a book called A Mind for Numbers by Barbara Oakley. It's a cheap, short, and easy-read. It has nothing to do with numbers. It literally teaches you (in a sometimes comical and entertaining way that includes real life instances from the author) how to study in ways that work for you. This is definitely worth your time. Read it! I can't recommend it enough. Another good tip: use rate my professor before you sign up for classes. Your teachers are a big part of the grade you earn. If you suck at essays, try to find a professor that doesn't assign many essays. You need extra credit? Find a professor that gives extra credit. Also, get at least 3 people's number on the first day of class. They will be your lifeline when you can't find a study guide, you missed class, or you have a question about an assignment.
I absolutely LOVE that book. It gave me so much inspiration and motivation.
Thank you so much for the tip! I'll run and get it tomorrow. ❤
Words cannot express my feelings, nor my thanks for all your help, could remember quite vividly when my school grade was very bad, thought I would be bounced from college .thanks to you so much..

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can you do a separate video on how to study well for specific classes (science, math, eng, history etc.) This would help a lot!!! thanks so much ily
I have a lot of videos that can help you. Any class in particular you need help with?
My grades where really low, was almost asked to leave the college if fail the next exam coming , I was really scared at that point how i would get my grades changed from F to A or my exam questions and answer. I felt it wasn’t possible but on a second thought I had no choice but to give a trial this name belowbdid the impossible never believed my college website could be hacked

I always sit in the back and got As,there less people staring at me and am very comfortable around the back.
Yeah me too
In certain classes those students go to the back, aka the bad and talkative ones. Which is the occasion for my school. So I prefer the front because less eyes on me and students don’t go to the front so no people.
bro i sit at the back and sleep forever
i’m comfortable sitting at the front since i can clearly hear my teacher.
"sit in the front"
good advice, but some teachers have seating plans...
my teacher put me in the back when I wanna sit in the front to pay more attention and to talk to the teacher lol😂
Sameme Legitness good idea is to say you have sight problems
i just told all my techers i have poor eyesight and i got placed in the front row everywhere, also, tell them its too loud/distracting to sit far back or simply that you cant hear what the teacher is saying
@@mh56487 So I helped you?
Yeaaaaaaaaa
Please do a deeper video about studying and how it differs between classes/subjects!!! I totally suck at understanding what material is actually needed/not needed to know! Also habits of studying and tips to remember what you studied
9:44 yes this works really well. I had precalculus and I broke down the amount of questions and finished a chore. Okay "5 questions then do 5 minutes of washing dishes. Try to wash 7-10 dishes in those 5 minutes. Then go back to my homework and do 5 questions then 5 minutes of dishes" and I did that and in like an hour I finished a lot of dishes, and my big homework packet. And I still got an A+. Take it from the girl who got a 110, 99, 100 on the only 3 tests of the semester. (I'm not bragging, I'm just showing an event I went through that strengthens her position) :)
I’ll take your word for it, thanks!
This is so smart, (no wonder you did so well). You did your homework AND chores. That is extremely productive. I'm lucky if I can get all my homework done, let alone do chores. Thanks so much for the tip.
Thank y'all I'm glad I could help!!!!
Would really appreciate a breakdown guide kind of thing, for Math courses.
I have a 4.4 GPA I'd recommend stay on top of your work
can you help me out?
I suggest reading over and summarizing notes and try to stay ahead in the syllabus also set 6your goals and follow them
Sipping Tea Savage thanks
Whoooooow..i feel very pressured in my life..my major is nursing..and...i feel like its too much..sometimes i wanna cry...for my psychology class i have to read 3 chapters before the test comes..in like 2 weeks.. am hoping that soon i'll change my habits and become a great student.
@@natashawaithera882 I'm about to graduate in nursing! Can I help?

This is my last semester in college and all you said was really helpful! Thanks a lot beautiful
Yes please make a subject specific study/note taking guide video!
yes
Omg, you just gave me so much motivation! I'm trying so hard to be a straight a - or/and b student - last year I was a straight b/c student. I thought I was so clever of studying all the time, but you know what? You're so right! There was so many nights I sat awake and studied till 2am or so, just cause I'd say that I had done it for so long.. But no.. I'm gonna change the study routines now. So thank you so much!
OMG she's like the smartest beauty vlogger I'v ever seen...

If you still need assurance when someone says "understand not memorize" I hope you find my personal experience helpful.
For my history test something like that idk what's it called in English, I did not study one bit and the test was two days away. On Sunday, I wanted to study history but I had a lot of topics to cover and I just had no idea where to start. In my class group chat they said that the teacher will be telling us what topics will be coming out so I freaked out less and decided to study other subjects for the remainder of the day. The next day, the teacher came in and she said "I'm sorry but I cannot tell you what topics that are specifically gonna come out because I haven't fully seen the paper but I'll tell you what I know." I almost broke down after she said that. The test was literally tomorrow and I haven't studied crap so I just sat at my table and stare into the wall. What the teacher said was not that helpful as the scope of what I needed to learn in ONE DAY was still large. Finally I got up from my chair and I asked my teacher, "can't you really tell us anything at all?" She looked at me and said sorry but she can't. I was about to turn around and walk away saddened by what she said when she stopped me and said "hey, don't memorize just read and understand." I nodded my head and tried to lift my mood up.
When I went home I just crammed and read as much as possible. I took out my highlighter and just started reading and highlighting and understanding as much as possible. I even woke up at about 4am to pick up other topics that I haven't touched.
During the test I just wrote everything what I thought was right cause I remember one thing my teacher said to me that had me more confident in history, "there's nothing wrong in history because as long as your answer is logical it's correct unless your answer is completely off topic then you're wrong." This is my tip to you if you have no idea what the answer is gonna be on your history test/exam; don't leave anything empty and bullshit your way through it even if you think it's wrong just bullshit your way through.
When it was time for results I got really nervous cause for my country if you fail history you fail everything. Lo and behold I got an A. A fucking A. Do you know how amazing I felt? I never gotten an A on history ever.
For my real history exam on the other hand I did this method too, of course I studied before hand like weeks earlier. And would you look at that I got an A again.
Summary:
1) understand not memorize
2) don't leave the answer sheet empty
3) just bullshit your way through. That long essay that you have no idea what to write down? Just bullshit it, write everything you remember, write everything you think is right and hand your paper in. That's it. Remember, they can't deduct marks because you are wrong so the only time your marks alter is when you get something *right*
I hope I helped some of you. Sorry for the long comment
The part about getting sleep is really important! It is more beneficial to go to sleep rather than staying up all night studying. Your hippocampus in your brain is responsible for memory, in particular long term memory. When you are tired that part of your brain cannot retain information properly. When you go to sleep it helps your body rest and recharge, and allows you to process and retain all of the information you have learned that day. With lack of sleep it doesn't give your body and brain enough time to do that, so you may have known something at 2 am but once you wake up, it most likely didn't stick with you!
Lol what. No, do studying before bed and review notecards then sleep. It WILL help you retain that information. This is completely contradicting

Advice: Meditate to reduce stress.
In your own way or anything.
Boikano motloung actually try to not worry about grades do not worry about anything learn the lesson as if you are having fun
@@litinupcito2044 Thanks
Boikano motloung it’s the reason why students get high marks don’t focus too much
I don’t like meditating
This video was so helpful! I would love to see detailed videos on how to study for different subjects and classes! 🐢🐢
Sydney Young Definitely feel like I'll end up doing that!! Haha love ya!!
tbh bailing on your friends is true and thats what moved me from number 400 student to top 5 among 1000 especially when most of them have tons of drama
super true about sitting in the front & mixing w smart ppl!! Last year I did that and from failing in my prelims, I passed all of my subjects with flying colours end of year !! but honestly it actually starts from urself. you need to want to improve and thn u have to see what you're weak in. You also need to keep a good eye of ur journal. You should plan ahead what u should do on the actual day. You should also try to re-do worksheets your lectures give you to ensure you 100% understand it and obvly if you dont understand you should firstly ask your smarter friends and if not ask your lecturer privately. & dont be easily distracted because you need to know what is more important ! you need to know what to prioritize!!
I’m a 3.9 GPA student, and everything you said is SOOOOO true. Especially the advice to sit in the front! I’ve been homeschooled up until college, and I didn’t know why, but I just didn’t want to be associated with the “distant” students who sit in the back. It helped me get noticed by my coordinator and get an internship early. Glad to hear it has a name, “the halo effect”!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I'm a senior in high school now and my goal is to actually know and understand what they're actually teaching me and I wished I could've known this earlier because the mistake I've always made is to just memorize the things a day before the exam... hopefully this year I don't make that again, I'm making an effort here! And thank you this video helped a lot.. you're so nice!

Yes I'm in 7th and I've never really cared about Ivy League, because an A there=an A at a normal Uni, but I am still obsessing over college. Unfortunately, my parents think I shouldn't be thinking about it at all and won't take me seriously🙁. Oh well, at least I know what I'm going to do with my life. 🙂
@@andriawall4141 you should definitely not be obsessing over college. just try your best in school and try building good study habits and keeping them.

"I don't think your corrections are correct." Girl mood af
I have been a straight a student since 3rd grade (I am going into 8th) so here are my tips (I might make a vid on my channel about it)
1. Be respectful to kids and teachers
2. Don’t be late to class/ know your schedule
3. PARTICIPATE/ be the good kid
4. Help other kids/ give others study guides
5. Help the teacher (organize her room, collect homework, etc)
6. Make a playlist that helps you concentrate (recommend no words)
7. Have a positive mindset on school
8. Be organized and organize your books and locker
9. Check your planner and grades whenever you can
10. Hang out with the right crowd/ don’t let others distract you from learning :)
Thanks this is a very useful comment
I appreciate your help towards others 😊❤️💕❤️💕💞💟❤
Thank you so much for those tips !
I'm a senior in high school, and I am extremely proud to say I have a 4.1 GPA, and hopefully I'll keep it up in college- I guess we'll see. Thanks for the tips, Olena!

College is much harder.
Please please please a video for the specific clases study guides! I'm starting college this fall (biology major for veterinary school afterwards) and I am TERRIFIED
Krystal N. Rosado don't be scared!!! It's really not so terrible! There will be classes that are hard, but you'll make it through!
IamJustaMakeupLover thank you, love.
Krystal N. Rosado Hey, Natural Science pre-nursing major here. Don't worry! All you have to do is stay on top of your game and remember your end goals. Make time for the important things and try out different ways of studying. There are a few classes you can slide by but others require time. You're going to have a lot of science and health based classes so I suggest study groups, Quizlet, handwritten notes, making friends with your professors. You got this! Good luck!
Jysika Hill thank you so much!!
I'm starting freshman year of high school in 11 days and I'm here to learn about what I should expect from college and one thing that terrifies me most is not being able to remember what I'm supposed to remember and end up not being good at my job. I'm planning on becoming a wildlife veterinarian. Can you tell me what all the majors of veterinary are?
Ill update yall how my grades r
like so i remember
now my grades are:
Physical Ed. - Quarter 3 B+ (87.5%)
- - - - -
English - Quarter 3 B- (82.8%)
- - - - -
Math Math S - Quarter 3 C (76.2%)
- - - - -
History C History - A- (90.0%)
- - - - -
Science Science A+ (97.1%)
- - - - -
Math Support A- (92.0%)
edit: hahaha so what happened was i got a boyfriend and my grades went big down i ended up having a D/F in history and math ... all for what? bc we broke up after like 3 weeks.
edit 2: ok so corona happened luckily there arent grades and i should have been happy about my grades then but now theres only p for passing and nm which means failing i have a nm mark in math and science and over 30 missing assignments and tmr is the last day of school hopefully next year ill do better andd i struggle a lot with math and i havee horrible attetion problems and i always leave things to the last minute which I should prolly stop doing
how do u study?
i cry in april Study the general concepts and know how your teacher makes the tests. See if he focuses on names, events, dates, etc and make sure to study those more. If you know the concepts well, and you know a decent amount of other things, you should be able to piece it togethrr
LMAOO same sis
Math is the hardest
😭 yikes girl
I really like the study to understand not to memorize.. I'm going to try to apply that to my APs
Love this, thank you so much for the tips Olena!!!
RandomnessLOL no problem!! Hopefully they are useful!!!
IamJustaMakeupLover they are definitely reminders that I will keep in mind for September and forwards! Thanks for replying too!
I enjoy this type of video, primarily because my son is in his first year of college. I can tell you as a long time IBM employee, that your tips work in business as well. Getting projects in ahead of schedule, arriving at key meetings early and sitting up front, you bet these things get noticed! I will most definitely share this video with my son!
I'm a Stanford Bioengineering major doing Pre-Med, I posted a similar video on my channel with different tips and tricks on getting a 4.0. Let me know if that helps! Email me at rlama22@stanford.edu if you would like :)
I'm much older than you are and a stay at home mom so I didn't think this video would be for me but I watched anyway. I'm so glad I did! You gave some great tips that I can share with my son who's in high school, he's really struggling right now and has this mentality that he just needs to get by with B's and C's. I want him to give it his all and put forth a little more effort. I know he can if he'd just try. It isn't about the grades it's about character and motivating yourself. These years are so important because you are shaping your whole future and the type of person you will become.
Sorry for the little rant lol. I think this video and any future videos you do like this will be so helpful to others. A+ from this mom. 💜
I hope this is true. I try so hard and I just don't get math. I try to go for help everyday and still do terrible. I tried so hard, studied so hard and still barley passed. I passed math this year with 51%. In starting to think it's going to be impossible for me to do well.
About six years ago, I stumbled on this video, and it completely changed my academic journey. Your practical tips and inspiring advice on achieving a 4.0 GPA transformed how I approached my studies. Fast forward to today, I’m proud to share that I graduated summa cum laude, and a huge part of that success is thanks to your content. I just wanted to express my deep gratitude for being such a positive and motivating influence. Keep being amazing-you’ve truly made a difference in my life!
Yes please do the in depth study guides! This guide helped me so much. I'm going to be a freshman so I really needed this! Thank you!
I'm usually in the back with all my friends and we all get good grades
- sitting in the back and not talking a lot makes the teacher think your shy and that's the students that most teachers like, I mean all my teachers love me so idk.
I had the bad idea to hang out with friends that wouldn’t pass and not worry about so I saw my grades drop and when I started to hang out with smarter, more accountable friends my grades went back up as we studied together and helped each other
Most of these tips you can apply as a dancer. Weird...
Haley A I. Agree !
Yes hahahahah
True
same as a singer and an actress
That's true it's because she describes "grit" which is the deciding factor in your success in anything :)
im working towards becoming a fighter pilot and you need to be top or one of the tops in your class. Im a hs senior and my grades have always kinda sucked. (overall probably gpa of 3.6) Im nervous that when i hit universtiy i wont beable to maintain a 4.0. Thanks so much for your advice!
I posted a similar video on my channel with different tips and tricks. Let me know if that helps! Email me at rlama22@stanford.edu if you would like :)
Im a good student & i always been one, butI'll be honest with yall, ive been lazy with school and too busy with other things that don't matter whatsoever. I know my worth and what im capabile of, just work hard & you'll succeed!! You have to believe in yourself that you can do it & that's the extra push i need this semester!
PLS DO A STUDYING VIDEO

I'm starting my second year and this was soo helpful!! I'm taking more on my plate this year and want to challenge myself after a kind of bad first year. I plan on making this year the best!! I have been watching your videos for a long time and have loved seeing your channel grow!!! ❤️❤️
You want tips I’ll give you some tips. Look up pain vs pleasure you know you don’t wanna do this assignment because you brain knows it’s not food, games, or exercise. Think about the pain if you don’t do your school work. Then fill out a to do list in each of your classes throughout you go so u don’t forget anything. Then set early deadlines for yourself and ignore the actual deadline because this can get your assignment done earlier.
what degree did you graduate with?
Your voice is so calmmmm
I like how you emphasized on making sure to understand the information instead of just memorizing it! That’s good advice for me in particular because I was the one in high school that would procrastinate a lot and cram information, so fully understanding the subject wasn’t in my best interest. In turn, I forgot a lot of things that I learned in past classes.
LONG STORY SHORT... very helpful advice!😁
"Red is a vibrant color and kind-of...gives me anxiety."
Same. 😂
MY SCHOOL UNIFORM IS RED AHHHH
ya'll know that one "big brain" meme with lightning and stuff. That is this woman right now. An absolute studying UNIT.
Thank you!! I will apply those tips. I really liked your advice on understanding rather than simply memorising. It’s definitely the way to actually remember the material which could be of use in the future. I hope everyone watching this video benefits a lot and exchanges their own experience and results. My best way to focus study is early in the morning after having a cold shower.
I'm a Stanford Bioengineering major doing Pre-Med, I posted a similar video on my channel with different tips and tricks on getting a 4.0. Let me know if that helps! Email me at rlama22@stanford.edu if you would like :)
I’m so glad I watched this - I start back in less than 2 weeks. This was so helpful and inspiring. Thank you!
I’m just about to start my freshman year of high school so I was wondering if anyone has any tips (they could be social, more oriented to studying etc.)
Lorde of The Rings there's A LOT of snakes. Personally 2-4 close friends that I can trust are all I need.
Lorde of The Rings high school is like a change in your life because you see who your real friends are and what you are interested in but my advice is to get involved in clubs or sports it might be the best thing ever I joined the cross country and track team freshman year and its the best decision I've made to this day and I'm a junior also don't get too involved in relationships freshman year focus more on yourself and close friends I hope this helped
Lorde of The Rings get a 4.0 your freshman year. Freshman year is BY FAR the easiest academically, and a 4.0 will cushion your cumulative GPA later on if you slip up.
Lorde of The Rings I'd start with better spelling
All About That Glam Life I think it's pretty good for someone whose English is a third language.
I'm in 7th grade, learned more than half of these this year. I live in New Jersey, (best public schools in the country) AND MAN IT'S HARD AS HELL! I'm glad I can find a college graduate who is tipping others the way that I've found best for myself.
pleaseeee do the math/science studying video. i definitely need the math! thank you in advance olena! 💓
Complete papers early and ask your professor to proofread them for you this will show your professor that you are getting it done early and it gives you time to make any changes the professor would like to see
Good.
Please do the study guide video.
Tell me why im watching this on the last quarter and school ends next week..
I went online on Google searching for a hacker to help me fix my school bad grades. I discovered this hacker that has been responsible for changing the grades of student worldwide, so I decided to hire him. The changes are permanent and untraceable till now. Contact hacker TOMJONES6061 on Instagram and WhatsApp +1 (475) 219 1703....
Your voice is so calming
OLENA YOUR VIDEOS ARE TOP QUALITY
Shiv __ YOUR COMMENTS ARE TOP QUALITY! 😙❤
yees
also if you could do a video on how to study for math because I have no idea how to study for it 😫
Pamela Aceituno same
So im a senior in college and i have dropped classes too bc i saw what the profs game was with the class (to try and make everyone fail) and i dropped ASAP. Do not think just bc you signed up for a class and prof you NEED to stick with it. Make your sucess happen for you. That's the beauty of college.
I’m a straight A student and people ask me all the time how I do it. They say they studied but still failed quizzes and tests. One thing I do know why they are failing is because they dont CARE. If you don’t care for your future then it’s gonna fade away and soon you’ll find yourself lost not knowing what to do.
A big appreciation goes to this name below a great hacker with great skills I can’t believe I passed all my failed online classes after the service I hired this team for

some of the most practical and realistic advice I've seen on RUclips
i'm going into sophomore year of high school, but still this is seriously the best advice. a lot of things you said my parents have told me 😂 like i never believed the sit at the front of the class one, but really it's true. thanks so much 💗
Best tip: Grind hard even if you don’t want to. Your Gpa will be the benefit of your future. Probably...
I haven’t been in college since 2011. I was doing really well while I worked in the medical field and it was so much fun to go off of the traction. I allowed myself to truly feel my problems instead of running away from them and it has been very difficult to get myself motivated again. I’m starting with taking notes about becoming a better student to start the traction to this endeavor. 💪🏼
🐢 slowly but surely I will get back on track! Thank you for all of your tips.
Btw, I noticed someone recommended meditation. I’d also recommend yoga. Both of these are very chaotic at the beginning and the more you know your body the more you will be calm with trivial decision making.
I like listening to you ❤ it's very calming 😌🍃🌾
Honestly.. I do all of these for my classes but I still manage failing or getting a pretty low grade in at least one....
I'm a Stanford BioE student, and I posted a similar video on my channel with different tips and tricks. I think mine are really different from theirs. Let me know if that helps! Email me at rlama22@stanford.edu if you would like :)
Guys listened to this video before I started my freshmen year of high school (1year ago) and the results I got were shocking. On all of my classes I had A’s including a challenging AP class. If I did not watch these kinds of videos before I started that year I would’ve probably been lost and not end up with the results that I have now. I highly recommend you reminding yourself of these key aspects of getting A’s BECAUSE THEY ACTUALLY WORK IF YOU WORK HARD ENOUGH.
Finally a video that isn't just common sense and is actually useful....
my mom would love you hahaha
