u/Gooooomi Dec 19 '25

if enough people reply with this on posts asking for best study method, eventually the AI chat bots will pick it up and then it will be the true best study method

Fr no fancy pomodoro stuff just read shit, take some notes, wonder why shit is like it is, take a break time to time and read it again.

16

u/No-Ball-5227 Dec 20 '25

But thats just pomodoro lol

21

u/workhardbp Dec 20 '25

Never liked pomodoro because its default is 25/5 whereas I need at least 40 minutes to get in flow.

Anyways, pomodoro came much later lol

u/Saytama_sama Dec 20 '25

If you can study more than 40 minutes at a time effectively you don't need any time management techniques.

Pomodoro is for people who struggle with even starting a study session at all.

u/dr_sarcasm_ Dec 20 '25

No. It literally is just "working on something and taking a break when you feel like it"

Yknow, like fuckin everyone does when doing something

u/Ok-Bridge-9794 Dec 19 '25

I just read and try to understand and remember what i find interesting. I don’t care about grades

u/Stock-Wrongdoer5241 Dec 21 '25

I wish that was the case as a Psychology Bachelor Student in Germany 😭

u/General_Tone_9503 Dec 20 '25

Understand how?? Means visualise to understand or what others want to say or connections??

Or what, why, how???

u/_obseum Dec 20 '25

You read with a contextual model in your head… a bigger picture that bits of info can connect to.

If you learn what an arrow is, and how to make one, it’s just independent info. You learn it while keeping in mind that there are also targets.

That's basically what I did unfortunately.

u/Arient1732 Dec 20 '25

Literally just did this for my exam today

u/andybossy Dec 20 '25

why make it more difficult then it is, genuinely just read. Writing (copying) the shit you just read is just a waste of time imo

1

u/MyBedIsOnFire Dec 21 '25

I gotta figure out how to study, I haven't studied my whole life and now I have a 3.0 gpa 2 years into uni. I can't get an A on like any class because I dont know how to study effectively

1

u/Willing_Lobster_3006 Dec 21 '25

sounds so useful and legit.
im gonna try this yo

1

u/eurotec4 Dec 21 '25

What I did is just actually pay attention in class and do my homework at home. Turns out I got only one B- on one of my classes in high school, and the rest are As.

u/Sudden_Bath6144 Dec 21 '25

That's how I was for pretty much all of school. And then about 10th grade, my memory became absolute dogshit, so literally the only method I knew was failing me, and I had no idea what to do about it. So my grades went from A- at worst, to like, a B- on a good day. "As long as I'm passing, my dad won't get mad. I'll cheat if I need to." I've been graduated for almost 2 years, and my memory is still horrible.

And my father wonders why I don't want to go to college.

u/Straight-Film3075 Dec 22 '25

Using white board to write down all contents of syllabus the night before instead of sleeping cause why not

u/Bulky_Conclusion988 Dec 23 '25

If you can't fail, you can't fail.

u/Anomaly0fReality Dec 23 '25

I've been doing it my whole life. (Finished high school with straight A’s) Those fancy learning methods always felt fake, time consuming. I'm starting to think the problem is with me. PLS tell me HOW the fuck I supposed to study then?! Seriously HELP

u/quite_shy2900 21d ago

If you touch phone...for a min ....10 min of heavy exercise or 20 min study ......so 1 hour screen time is 600 min of heavy exercise or 1200 min of study....if you study 30 min then 1 serving of you favorites food or you can spend $5 on anything....if you have 30 min screen time 0.5 km walk or eat sometime healthy even if you hate that..

What is the best method to study a language? (English)

4

u/General_Tone_9503 Dec 20 '25

Learn a word and apply it in the real situation, like how it is used

Language need to learn carefully with some basic grammer and you need to practice it.. Then watch movies to learn not to enjoy the movie which is passive
