Why I Stopped Trying to Ace Every Exam

🌲 2x your learning speed, slash your study hours in half ➔ www.cajunkoi.com/landings/stu...
I've spent a lot of time studying. Maybe more than I should have. Sometimes we do it because it's the easy thing to do. Sometimes we do it because it's what everyone else is doing. But take a good look at yourself and ask what is necessary, and what is worth it?

    This video is what I've always instinctively felt deep down but was scared to adopt the mindset, because like most people I was pressured into "grind/hustle" perfectionist culture as well. I would feel inferior because I wasn't the 4.0 GPA, aced every exam, can study for 12 hours student, especially being in the competitive pre-med path. I really appreciate you putting this content out Matty. What I'm happy about myself and is proud to say is that I've always done things that made me happy and pursued people and endeavors that my heart desired. From now on I'm definitely going to remind myself that perfectionism isn't the thing to strive for, but a happy balance life while going after your dreams is. Cheers brother

    I only study a couple hours a day and I still get mostly A's, a few B's. I just remember what I can from class and I'll focus my attention on anything I didn't understand. My focus with studying is less memorising and more understanding, then I'm less likely to forget everything after the test. I don't just want to pass, I want to understand the topic, and I've generally found that it's easier to learn by interacting with the topic by thinking about it, rather than just remembering phrases from a textbook.

It would make sense to do so in highschool since u need those marks to get into uni but middle school marks gave me nothing except for a missed childhood ). Now I’m in highschool and I’ve realised my mistake in middle school . So I’m trying to not spend hours just to get a few more points but to study to just get “good enough” like he said .

    For me, I'm not in college solely to get a job. I'm here to learn more of what I love and a happy consequence is that a degree will also render me more employable. So with that said, "good enough" isn't really a concept I can relate to. I just want to get an A in every course, since an A is an indicator that I've mastered the material. However, if I don't get an A, it's not like I've failed. I'm still learning if I get a C. So if I employed the concept of "good enough", that benchmark would be merely to not fail, which is not my ambition. Love the video though. I decided a while a go that I wouldn't be grinding anymore and I agree with lots of what you said, particularly about enjoying student life more.

    Fantastic insight. I will keep your video as a reminder. I've been thinking like that for the past few months, but it always makes me feel like a lazy ass, when it's not the case at all. In fact, it's about living the present moment, and as you mentioned "not wasting your energy". Thanks a lot. Subscribed to the channel.

    I was a student athlete in college and I was mentally and physically drained. I kept telling myself that grad school will be better because I can just dedicate all my time towards studying. Now I just finished my first summer term of occupational therapy school and realized I’m doing the exact same thing that made me burnout and unhappy by spending hours of studying and trying to “please” professors. I’ve come to the conclusion that the pace that I am going is not sustainable for me and I want to be in this for the long haul and to do that I have to enjoy my life and stop striving for perfection because perfection is toxic and it doesn’t exist. Thank you for your great content. You all are helping so many people ♥️

    I was a med student, and I took a 'go with the flow' attitude in my study. I socialized more than my friends, do other projects outside med, and was just good enough to pass the exams and become a doctor. honestly, now I wish I tried harder in training and did less 'playing around'. i think it's good to max your potential when you can and have the time and resources.

    Dude I really needed to hear this. Feel shameful to admit this but I really don't know when to stop my self. I just keep on pushing and I'm so toxic to myself like I'm in this cycle that I cant get out of. I know its bad but I can't stop. People might call me a narcissist but I just cant help myself heal. I've been to count less therapists but turns out its nothing the docs can help me with its something i need to work on. Idk what to do. Honestly these vids really help me, you guys have no idea how. And if anyone else who reads this threads sees this and is going through the same problems just remember mental health comes first and repairing it isn't so easy but its possible to do so and it takes a lot of time.

    this video came out at exactly the right time and was so meaningful to me. I was shooting for the stars for my step 2 ck score, and got a score lower than expected. I was really sad, however I did hit the exact average step 2 ck score (and also exact step 1 average) for my specialty of choice. Your video really spoke to me. I am going to stop wallowing about missing my target by 1 point and instead rejoice that I still met what was "good enough". your message is really great and needs to be heard by all med students. we get into our own head and perfectionism becomes the thief of life.

    Work smart, never hard. I'm glad you talked about this topic. We all strive for the best grades. What matters is getting the grade that satisfies the requirements to get onto the next level. Try your best, aim for the top, if you fall short then you will still have passed. BUT do not lose your sanity and peace in the process! Personally, I try my best, I now aim for progress. I've learned that tests vary upon circumstances. Some personal eg lack of prep or things happening in life, or the assessors eg questions not worded well or misleading, questions that cover topics which are not in the syllabus (you'll need surprised how often this occurs)
