these are the mistakes that quietly tank your grades, not because you're not working hard enough, but because the work isn't going anywhere. highlighting everything. if the whole page is yellow, nothing is actually marked. your brain needs contrast to know what matters, so mark only the key concepts, not every sentence that sounds important. rereading instead of testing. passive review feels productive but it's not building memory, it's just familiarity. quiz yourself instead, that's what actually forces recall. skipping practice problems. this is the one people skip most and regret most. I use morso for this, it turns whatever I upload into an instant quiz so I'm testing myself on the real material instead of making flashcards by hand or skipping the step entirely. studying subjects in random order. constantly switching topics exhausts your brain more than the material itself does. block similar subjects together so your mind stays in one mode instead of resetting every twenty minutes. waiting until you're confused to ask questions. small doubts left alone turn into real gaps. ask the moment something doesn't make sense, don't let it pile up until the night before the exam. studying alone when you don't understand it. struggling solo on something you don't get wastes hours you could spend actually learning it. find a study partner or a resource that explains it differently, don't just sit with the confusion. fix even two of these and you'll feel the difference by the next test. save this before your next study session 🔖 #studytok #studyhacks #claim #examprep #college - @studywithalex83
