100 hours studying still failed

[Deleted member 32410]

I studied for 100+ hours on my Econ exam and still didn’t retain shit

I’m not even dumb

This shit is just so dry and obtuse it’s like looking at a patch of gravel and from memory redrawing it in exact photographic memory

I think I just don’t have the skill of memorizing all this fucking dense information . That’s all it is.

I understand the shit when I study it but I can’t remember the formulas and shit 3 days later

Econ is bullshit
Just a class designed for people to fail and waste their money

jfl at thinking hard work scales linearly, i made a similar mistake in the past for a small period, all it led to is stimulant abuses and a subsequent hard burnout. Scale back down a lot on the volume and improve the quality. A tip i could give you is don't be passive, learning is not linear, starting a book and following chapters in order doesn't stimulate that much as information is already laid out, what i do is open at a random page and try to reverse engeneer/regress what is said. It is much more mental labour per hour of study, but information retention is much higher. For econ it should work,don't know if this works in non-stem tho

mirin effort. I totally get what you mean but when I have like 4 other courses and a tight schedule im kind of trapped into dividing my studying hours into certain number of days on average. I dont have the time to just totally get lost in the material and really spend time fine tuning everything. obv that would give me higher retention and genuine desire to understand but it's just not a luxury I have rn unfortunately.

How far of did you get from passing?

You probably could study more and study better

This is me but medical school
I understand everything i read from Pathophysiology, but my retention of the info is brutally shit, meanwhile some annoying midwit beckie doesn't even understand what she's reading but has elite memory retention and passes everything

i failed uni one. now aero engineer. relax, most of it is brain chemistry at the moment

The class avg is an F for every exam anyways. Yeah man ofc that’s true

You can always be thinner look better

I swear college grades are all genetics based.

100 hours of studying = 99 hours of YouTube/Tiktok and 1 hour of studying.

I swear to you mofos, 99% of college students achieve good grades via effort. I'm of complete average intelligence. I remember putting so much time into studying Cal 2 and I got an A+.

Fast forward to next semester, I procrastinated hard on my discrete math course and studied on the day before the test (impossible for math courses) and failed it.

You would think I were two completely different students.

There's only a miniscule amount, I mean 0.000001% of Will Huntings and 1% of extremely intelligent students out there.

i heard so many retards coping this way irl, lmao

if you are capable of "understanding everything", you are extremely likely to be able to retain it (or at least you're gonna need much less time for memorization and repetition). you are basically saying you can easily hit a logo 3 or dunk from the free throw line, but can't finish an open layup. again, lmao at this delusion still being thrown around in 2023.

getting the feeling that what you're studying is so intuitive and simple often means one doesn't have the slightest clue about what they just read

I think he’s saying something similar. He’s saying that he spends time really delving into the nuance to actually get it and proving the most basic formulas given in the course instead of just memorizing them like the midwits do.

But in expending this effort to delve deeper, he usually can’t get to covering ALL hundred topics assigned within the given timeframe. Essentially it takes longer to actually learn something than just midwit Becky strat of memorizing it and not truly understanding the “why” behind the material.

Jfl thanks for writting down what i was thinking of. I get what i read basically and remember it short term, but medical school is a mix of logic and raw memorization of names, its mostly the names and branches that i forget about, not the concept and process, how it functions at its core
