Okay, so I’m really struggling here. I have major test anxiety. Like, sweating, heart racing, can’t-remember-my-own-name kind of anxiety. I know I know the material, usually. But as soon as I sit down for a test, it all just… vanishes. I think part of the problem is my studying. I tend to cram the night…
Okay, so I have a huge exam coming up in Organic Chemistry (ugh, I know!), and I’m really struggling to keep all the reactions and mechanisms straight. I’m thinking about forming a study group with a few friends from the class, but I’m also a little nervous. I’ve never really studied in a group before….
Okay, so I’m taking three online courses right now: Introduction to Psychology, College Algebra, and Intro to Programming with Python. It’s all asynchronous, which means I can watch lectures and do assignments whenever, but I’m finding it REALLY hard to stay motivated and actually learn the material. I’m falling behind in Algebra especially. I think…
Okay, so I’m really trying to get serious about studying. I’m in my second year of university, studying History, and I have a terrible habit of procrastinating. I end up cramming before exams, which is stressful and I don’t retain nearly as much. This semester, I’m trying to break things down into smaller, more manageable…
My son, he’s going into 7th grade this year. Last year, 6th grade, was rough. He’s a smart kid, no doubt about it, but he kept forgetting assignments, leaving things at school, and then cramming the night before tests (or sometimes just not studying at all!). He says he understands the material in class, but…
Okay, so I’m really struggling to focus when I study. It feels like after 15 minutes, my brain just wants to do anything else. I’m a visual learner, I think, and I’m studying for exams in History, Biology, and Calculus. I’m using textbooks mostly, some online lectures (which I also lose focus during), and practice…
Okay, so I’m applying to a few different universities and I’m so confused about visas! I’m a US citizen and I’m looking at programs that are longer than just a quick summer thing – full Bachelor’s and Master’s programs. I’m hoping to get accepted to schools in the following countries: United Kingdom (Specifically England, maybe…
Okay, so I’m applying to universities soon and I’m really confused about entrance exams. I know some general entrance exams exist, like the SAT or ACT (although I think those are mainly for US universities?). But what I’m really wondering about is whether specific fields of study, like engineering, architecture, medicine, law, or even something…
