    1. Always aim for 100%. Worst case: you'll do well. 2. Write everything down from the lecture and know your notes by heart. 3. Do all the homework. 4. Be able to redo all your homework without looking at your notes. 5. Be on top of everything, finish everything as soon as possible. 6. Aim to be number one / top of the class at all times. 7. Study the example questions / old exams for the test. My own tip: Understand the hardest examples from the books, the tests are usually easier.

    ME major/CS minor here in my third year at 23, started college at 16 dropped out at 18, came back at 20. Ive switched majors TWICE, from Business management, to CS, to now being in ME. Been to jail during my rebellious stint from 18-20, lost friends, and made friends with lots of bad people who didn't have my best interests at heart. Best takeaway I've gotten from life is to remember that everything you achieve, along with everything you fail, is 100% on you, and what you prioritize is what you will excel at. I know people who are DEFINITLEY not the "smartest" in the classes I'm taking right now, (thermodynamics and fluid mechanics) but they're holding A's in all their classes. This is because they prioritize school above all else, sacrificing outings with friends, ditching parties, even missing family members weddings. It's all about what you're willing to sacrifice, not how smart you are.

    Very refreshing to hear that being competitive is not negative. I was seriously debating whether I should sacrifice being competitive for the sake of my mental health. I was in a depressive rut where I just couldn't think right. I hyperfixated on grades because that was all I was worth. I had no self esteem and had a very black and white thought process. Even if I scored 0.5 less, I was a failure. My mind just stopped being solution oriented like I was once and focused heavily on where I failed even if I didn't. There was no small win, just a fail. That along with being competitive and I was just a husk of a being.So that way I lost my 2 precious years in undergraduate CS just trying to cope with failure. Its only in the past few months that my brain fog is clearing up and I started giving my 100% and stopped all expectations. Ended up with very high grades after a long time and I am more competitive than ever before .

As of how I changed, don't know what exactly caused me to change, but I started off working heavily on anxiety and esteem issues, I binged healthygamergg and academy of ideas (cannot recommend enough) on yt. So along the way had lots of aha moments about how I thought about stuff. Working on myself had a direct impact on my grades. I stopped worrying about it completely. Now, in a sheet I write down everything I can do to achieve the best grade and start very early so that I can make plenty mistakes and learn before the finals, I also think of all the ways I am going to fail and take every step in order not to. What I learnt is that when I just keep at it, there is no failure just lessons. It's a win win situation because failure just makes me better, if not now then on the next test. Also some major things for me were to stop comparing, expecting and find positive friends to be around. Hope this helps!!❤️

I guess it goes back to the age old teachings of the stoics; there's no use worrying about something you cannot change(i.e. a score). Of course, men have it easier in this regard. Aiming for perfection, being "hard on yourself" and getting a worse than expected result doesn't imply a mental breakdown or similar

    thank you for the video, im a bio student and i have a math test coming up, its the 4th time im retaking this course over almost 3 years. My advice id give to people that havent done good in math is: dont give up! if you can, you must definitely keep going! the good thing about failure is that you get so much info everytime you fail, you know your mistakes so it gets a little easier next time bc you know not to make them again. Also, have perseverance and patience, know that while math can be hard it is also very important for all careers, so its a subject to be well understood and that it might take more time than other subjects. The biology subject was a breeze to me and i loved it, did it only once, history too, chemistry was a bit harder... had to redo the subject, but it was so fascinating i loved it the second time, the thing is: it involved a lot of math, so it took me more time to learn it properly. Give math its proper study time, theres no shame in sitting down and revisiting the basics, maybe there was a gap you didnt know you had (i had many. Craters, even), be proud that youre doing what you can to move forward and know that youll suceed with perseverance, patience and learning from your mistakes.

    I discovered a love for mathematics after high school and for me, doing well on exams simply comes down to gaining a true understanding of the material vs a surface level understanding. Understanding that a graph of a function is the visualization of the inputs and the outputs and their relationship vs just typing in the equation and seeing some random line be drawn on the calculator’s graph. I was your typical kid who was expected to play sports since my older brother did, so I played and did the bare minimum in my studies and skated by in high school. After high school I drifted from my friends and spent a lot of time alone and it allowed me to discover my true passions. I was able to get away from the influences of others and discover who I was and not who I thought I was when surrounded by others.

    Read the material before class. Take notes but concentrate on understanding. Always record the class and use the recording to fill in anything you missed in the notes. Anything you don't understand get help online or go to office hours. Most people comprehend math best in the morning. Review just before going to sleep. Review well before the exams but intensely just before the exams. Be the last one to leave the exam, keep checking.

One of the things I appreciate in my new school is that they make you take calculus I,2, and some linear algebra *before* physics, and I feel so much better prepared for it.

    The thing about failing early being helpful really resonated with me. In my first semester of undergrad (just a year ago), I got a B in a Sociology class (honestly kinda deserved to get worse, but we're gonna ignore that). I always hold myself to overly high standards, so this initial failing was pretty tough to handle. But now I know it's not going to kill me to get less than an A, especially since a perfect 4.0 is out of the question now. Admittedly, my math gpa is still 4.0, and I'm still clinging to that, but I've dealt with failure in some capacity before, so I know it won't be the end of me if it happens again. I find comfort in that.

    I am in my junior year of college, and most of the bad study habits I had freshman year have stayed with me, the biggest being: 1) not writing down good notes in class 2) not being humble and asking questions when confused 3) not being curious, and over-relying on the book to solve problems Even though I've gotten A's in all my math classes, I've had a lot of boring, stressful, unproductive experiences along the way because of these bad habits. For anybody reading this, I strongly recommend trying what math sorcerer suggested: 1) aim to be the best in the class 2) write down and study everything in the lecture 3) use your time, notes, classtime, office hours, the best you can From my experience, good habits never magically appear "next class" or "next semester" no matter how much you convince yourself. Good habits are chosen. I am just beginning to fail, to ask 'dumb questions', to try to recreate mathematics on my own, and even though it makes me feel uncomfortable and uncertain, my experiences are 10x better than before, and that makes me believe I am doing the right thing.

    Amazing video as always, I do certainly think it's worth to aim high with your goals, if your goal is not to get one hundred percent, you will seriously undermine your own skills and time you put into anything, I've experienced this many times throughout school, which is why I decided to change this mindset to always aim to be the best, it just makes you push yourself and do things you never thought were possible. Learning to deal with failure is absolutely one of the most important things in life. Over summer, I failed a Calculus III course, I was taking two courses that summer, Calculus III, and Differential Equations with Linear Algebra. It was absolutely one of the most challenging academic things I have ever done but I really put everything I had into it, yet, I still failed. It taught me a lesson that was very important: work even harder than you thought was possible, get ontop of your game, and when you think you are ontop of your schoolwork, you're not there yet, you could always do more. On another note, do you ever plan on making a video on giving advise to people who want to partake in math events? For me personally, I'm taking the Putnam for the first time this December, and there is not a whole lot of information about really preparing and accepting for what I'm about to get myself into. I know it's insanely difficult, I struggle with math (like anyone else), but I spend countless hours until I finally get it. I'm quite overwhelmed with how much math is required, and the intuition one needs. If anyone else is in my shoes, reply to me, it'll be nice to hear from someone else in my same situation. Thank you for another amazing video as always, you always provide good insight into learning.

    Experience similar to yours. Physics major/math and electrical engineering minor as an undergrad. Realized in my first physics class that I was one of the only students who had not had calculus and struggled through it, as well as calculus in parallel. Had a D going into the final for one of my calculus courses, pulled an all-nighter and suddenly it all clicked. I think I got a B on the final. Next year or so I took an E&M course that relied heavily on calculus and did so well the other students suspected I cheated. Tests were unsupervised and on the honor system then. I believe I got an A on the course and to me it was due to the quality of instruction from a great professor. Failing grades on physics courses were extremely common. I recall getting a 34% on one exam.

    @@WojciechowskaAnnaHard to recall exactly as that was quite a long time ago at this point. I changed high schools after two years and I seem to recall neither offering calculus. Instead, we covered algebra, geometry, and trigonometry in greater depth. I believe at the time calculus may have been considered a college level course. Also, the intro calculus course was not required as a prerequisite in my first physics course in college, I assume because they figured you could catch up before they began to apply it in the course. Anyway, high school is much different these days and both of my kids are far ahead of where I was in high school!
