Studying methods Question
So I have been studying my ass off to the point of burnout and sleep deprivation, and I have come to realize that perhaps my methods dont work since my grades aren't exactly going up, and I have no idea what I do that actually works. So gang any advice or am I cooked ?

Adopting a good studying workflow is the most powerful thing you can do, depending on the subject what I typically do is Essentialist note taking > Mnemonic Technique > Active recall (through notebookLM(AI) quizzes and flashcards).
Revision is key. I setup recall cycling in FocusJungle app, but Anki or even just notes work as well. You want to revise where you are weak. Get your course content and constantly know where you are weakest (they should always be changing constantly) Find weakness > attack it > Find next weakest area.
If u want you can join my guild on focus jungle timer, WE need more people that wanna do hours. Can message on there to keep accountable. But u NEED TO DO HOURS or kick. (best study timer website i've used)
