Study Pack #2

by Eintsein

It’s a new year, and whether you’re looking to organize your current study process, or try out something more productive, this study pack can help you out. These are some of the methods I use to help myself study more effectively, and I’ve decided to make some printables out of them so that you can use them too!

In this study pack:

Day Tracker: to schedule your day or keep track of how you use your time.

Past Paper Tracker: to track all the past papers you’re practicing.

Past Paper Summary: to summarize the trends in your past papers so you can plan your studying accordingly.

Topic Tracker: to track the topics that appear in the past papers.

Syllabus Tracker: to help you know where you currently are in your syllabus: what’s been done and what’s left to do, along with how well you know the material

Click here to download! (link to study drive)

Hope these help, and don’t forget to tag me with #eintsein when you use them - I’d love to see them in action! And if you have any questions, drop me an ask/message. Have an awesome day :)

P.S. Examples of how to use some of these printables are in the gifs above, but of course, you’re free to use them in whatever method works best for you. For example, for the topic tracker, instead of distinguishing between the number of marks for the question, you could keep track of how many marks you’ve received for that topic (i.e. 100% means you get full marks for every single question of that topic).

Attention Management: How to Take Control and Live Intentionally

We live in an age of information, and it’s becoming even more difficult to be in control of our attention. Every second, it seems like there’s something new to be consumed, something new to pay attention to. Because of this, it’s important to take control of our attention and more intentional about how we spend our time, and we can do so by practicing attention management.

Tips for studying with ADD

I have been dealing with ADD since forever. Through all those years in school I’ve learnt a few things that help me study and keep my grades good.

🌼 Have 2 things to focus on

This might sound a bit odd but you have to distract yourself a little bit. Sitting down to a book, in a complete silence won’t help at all. You’ll find something else no matter how empty the room may be. Give yourself two things to focus on instead. The first thing is studying and the second should be something that doesn’t cost you too much thinking. Here are a few ideas for your second focus:

Have something simple in your hand to roll it around (e.g. a stone)

Music with no lyrics

A piece of paper to fold

A pencil or pen to play with

A ball to throw around

A calm pet (the calm part is important, no cat chasing!)

🌼 Try to study alone

Other poeple will not only distract you but you will aslso distract them too.

🌼 Turn off your phone

🌼 Switch between the subjects often

Study one thing for some time, then other thing and then come back to the first thing. Change things up as often as your memory can take it to keep your brain intrigued.

🌼 Change study spaces

🌼 Give yourself time to stare into space blankly

🌼 Ask someone to snap you back

Ask someone to check on you and snap you back to reality in case you lose attention

🌼 Learn in as many forms as you can

Try things out (if it’s safe to do so), hear them, look at pictures.

🌼 Give yourself enough time

Don’t wait until the last minute. Give yourself as much time as you can.

I hope I helped and have a nice day!

Just completed and submitted the final version of my Extended Essay !!! °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖° 

So I compiled lists of words that I found super super useful in making it easier for me to finish any essay !! Here is a masterpost of some sort with transition words + key vocabs grouped together for easy access as well as an IB IOC ‘cheat sheet’ I used for my english LAL orals last year (though most commentaries follow a similar structure so its generalisable) ~

Good luck with your essays !!!

… oops just realised I forgot to bullet point one of the lists 

Hold Tight to those you love no matter what

This was probably the greatest thing I’ve seen all day!!!
