hey guys in today's study with me video
I'll be showing you the studying and
school work that I usually do after I
get home from school I usually get home
sometime between 5:30 and 6 o'clock
because of sports practice and then I
have dinner and I shower and I usually
start doing schoolwork sometime between
6:30 and 7:00 the number of hours that I
spend studying each day after school
tends to vary a bit depending on how
much homework I have any projects I'm
working on and how tired I feel but in
general I spend between three to five
hours on studying and doing homework so
as I've been explaining what the video
has been showing is that I'm annotating
the book or rather play that were
reading in English so the play that
we're reading is the crucible I had a
quiz on act two coming up the next day
and I hadn't done the annotations for
all of Act two since I missed a class
due to sports the way I do my
annotations is on post-it notes so I'll
write them on the post-it note evidently
and then I cut the post-it note so that
only the part with the text is there and
I stick it on to the spot that aligns
with the text that I want to annotate I
don't really have that many annotation
tips to be honest since I'm not that
great at it either usually it's either a
plot summary or a response to what's
going on
now I'm moving on to doing some notes
for a push if you'd like a more detailed
overview of how exactly I take history
notes I'll link some videos in the I
card thing so one of them is my video
about how I take history notes that
video was about AP euro I've changed my
note-taking style a bit since then so
please do let me know if you'd like me
to make an updated how to take history
notes video next I will also link a
study with me for AP US history that I
posted a couple of months ago I think
and in that video I went into a bit more
detail about the differences what I've
changed in my study techniques from AP
euro to A+ you might have noticed that I
abruptly skipped from the front side of
this notes to the back side that's
because my camera ran out of memory and
I didn't notice unfortunately so that
whole middle section did not get
recorded now going back to my
explanation of my notes if you don't
want to click to those videos I can
explain a little bit right now so
basically what I do is the really long
headers are for the larger section
headers in my textbook and then the
smaller highlighted headers are just the
regular headers in my textbook and then
I take bullet point notes my goal is to
limit myself to one bullet point or less
per paragraph that way I can keep things
concise as far as knowing what exactly
to write down I can't give any very
concrete tips on how to do this
since it depends a lot on your learning
style and the content focus of the class
that you are taking it comes with
practice though so definitely keep
working at it and you'll improve your
note-taking skills of course my camera
just really didn't want me to film
myself taking these notes so it cuts off
at the end as well I just
finish the section and now I'm moving on
to adding the headers on to my math
notes if you watched my how I take notes
in class video basically what I do is I
take all of my notes in class and I
leave the calligraphy header to do at
home for a minute or so if you notice me
reaching over to type on my computer a
lot it's because my friends and I were
also giving each other feedback on our a
push essays while I was doing this I
don't really recommend multitasking
because it distracts your focus from
both tasks but sometimes you got to do
what you got to do even if it's not the
most efficient that being said now I'm
moving on to doing my math homework and
this is an assignment of course it's a
required assignment and I also use
homework as an opportunity to study by
doing practice questions so while I'm
doing my homework I try to make it as
much like a test as possible so I don't
refer back to my notes unless absolutely
necessary and I don't really use a
calculator of course as I'm saying this
I have a calculator but I promise it's
just because I'm checking my work my
textbook has answers for the odd
problems in the back so I can confirm
that I'm doing things correctly and I
just wanted to use a calculator to
double-check my even answers
I also find that this kind of instant
feedback of checking answers helps me a
lot since especially in a calculus BC
I'm learning a lot of new concepts
because I didn't take a B before B C
this works at my school for some weird
reason I don't know why but yeah it
really helps me to check my answers that
way I can know whether I'm on track and
doing things correctly or not you might
also notice too that now I have a
clipboard underneath my homework and
that's because the struggles of having a
white desk it's really aesthetic looking
and it works as a photo backdrop but
since I write really hard
whenever I have pencil on the other side
of the paper that I'm writing on it
tends to transfer onto my white desk and
make ugly marks so I use this clipboard
that I got from Daiso as a barrier
between my white desk and the graphite
smudges
lastly I'm moving on to studying for
math outside of my homework assignment I
study for math based on the curve of
forgetting which is a printable slash
system that I mentioned quite a bit I
will link more about it in the
description if you'd like to check that
out but basically it's the way that I
schedule when to study to maximize
helping myself remember the things so
basically I'm doing questions from the
textbook and I'm doing them on my
whiteboard notebook I find this really
helpful as a study tool because I can do
as many math practice questions as I
like and I won't feel guilty about
wasting paper just writing on at once
and then checking my answers and I'm
just throwing it away instead I can just
do it on this reusable option that is
better for the environment of course if
you don't want to get a specific
notebook for this you can always just
use a regular miniature whiteboard
they're pretty cheap on the internet and
I'm referring to my notebook
occasionally since some topics were in
the notes but not in the text
I hope you enjoyed this video and if
you'd like to see more study with me
videos I will link some on the screen
and in the description I upload new
videos every Friday and you can check
out my tumblr and instagram which are at
the study quill see you next time
