Best study methods (imo) 🎧📝
I‘m a total overachiever when it comes to academics (😭). As for my qualifications: I got top scores on IGCSE and the regional German exams (and am on studytok💀). I am currently studying for the IBDP, and have many friends that say they don’t know how to study, so here are my favourite study methods :)

Chunking
1-take one topic and break it up 2- study the little chunks with other methods

Feynman
1-learn the topic 2-teach it to someone else (or pretend to) 3-go over what you didn’t understand

Light a candle
Idk why but it works. Just do it lol

Getting the vibe
I have different coloured pens and different playlists for each subject which helps me get into the vibe of a subject faster, helping me to concentrate faster.

Environment variations
Studying in a different environment every now and then really helps concentration

Fake deadlines
Making earlier, fake deadlines makes sure your procrastinating doesn’t get too dangerous (trust me, I’ve been there too)

Make your podcast
Record yourself explaining a concept as if you were the teacher and then listen to it later. Really fun too :)

Pomodoro
Even if you feel like you could study for longer, taking short breaks at regular intervals will increase your stamina

Past Questions

Note-taking
I take rough notes from the textbook before class, then fill in the details during the lessons (sounds like more work, is actually less). Later I highlight everything I don’t know and make my flashcards based off of that :)

Flashcards
For all terms, but not concepts. I like doing them in rounds, always repeating those I didn‘t know one more time than the others.
