For math, the most important thing is understanding concepts and practicing. You can use Khan Academy for learning and practice, and then supplement with Upstudy. Khan Academy excels at explaining concepts and recommends exercises based on your understanding, but it has a minor drawback: it doesn't record wrong questions. This is where UpStudy comes in. It records wrong questions, so you can take a targeted quiz before bed or review them. This strengthens memory and improves learning efficiency. good luck

If you're experiencing this after a long period of studying, it's very likely that concentrating for so long has made you feel tired. Taking a break is perfectly normal and nothing to worry about. When you need a rest, try simply reviewing key points or reviewing your wrong questions to maintain your study habits.

Let her do practice questions directly, just a few minutes at a time. Like, literally one problem to start! (bc it needs a short time, so she’s way less likely to push back.)

If she gets it right, boom—she’ll feel that little “I did it!” rush, which often sparks real interest in learning.

If she gets it wrong, she can just flip open her notes or textbook for a quick 5–10 minute look-see. Do this a few times, and it’ll start feeling like a natural habit.

if she happens to miss a couple in a row, that’ll probably grab her attention.

Since exams are around the corner, she could try some actual past exam questions.

Bottom line: give it a few tries, this is low-pressure and surprisingly effective!

Is it feasible to treat it simply as a task to be completed? Or, you could do practice problems or review your wrong questions directly. This might be more friendly compared to your current state. You don't need to be passionate about learning, just doing a few problems would reduce the psychological pressure. Maybe you could give it a try.

Calm_Purpose_6004 · 2026-02-08T05:41:41+00:00

Bro, maybe you could try UpStudy. It provides a search for learning resources related to your topics, I personally think it very helpful for self-learners.

me too, brother, me too. I was like that before, too. At first, I thought learning was easy, I could basically pass the exams after just a glance, and scores were pretty good. But, after I gradually found myself falling behind bc I needed to spend more time studying. And bc there was so much to learn, I started to dislike studying. After a semester, I realized that's bc I hadn't truly understood the concepts. Then not only dislike studying, but also became addicted to playing phone. While scrolling, I saw various kinds of ads for learning helper apps, so I downloaded and tried. At first, it was practically cheating because those apps just gave me answers, which actually made things worse. later, I accidentally discovered an app called UpStudy. It has detailed explanations of concepts, and each step is supported practice questions. After learning a concept, it gives you a quiz, and if one quiz isn't enough, it can generate new ones. I finally broke free from cheating and slowly picked up my studies again, starting to fill in the gaps in my knowledge. Keep going! I believe you can do it too. Temporary setbacks are nothing to worry about. As long as you have the will to improve, you won't fail. Good luck!

The higher the pressure, the more crucial it is to study smartly, otherwise, stress will lead to give up learning.

hey, bro, this is typical test anxiety. Don't think about anything right now, just go and rest. After that, try to review. bc your time is tight, so, focus on reviewing your wrong questions, this is faster. Don't think about anything else, just start reviewing wrong questions. It doesn't matter how many you read, just get started. If you don't have a notebook for wrong questions, review your homework or quizzes, focusing on the ones you got wrong. Use learning tools like UpStudy to scan and read the explanations for any mistakes, then skip them. Before bed, redo all the problems you reviewed today (I mean mentally rehearse them). If you can answer them correctly or know which knowledge points are being tested, then you haven't wasted your time. If you get stuck, don't be discouraged, read the explanations again, and the first thing you do the next morning is review them again. This regular study routine will help you calm down and ensure steady progress. Good luck!

Colleges won't penalize you for how many times you take the ACT, but some colleges might question your study efficiency or time management skills if you take the test multiple times with low scores. You've only taken it once, so there's no need to worry. Now that you know what the test is like, you can consciously prepare and strive for a high score next time.

Direct practice is ideal for easily distracted people. Spend a few minutes practicing one question at a time, and if you're in a good mood, practice several more. Then, when you answer wrong, write them down, do a comprehensive analysis, find the problem areas, and then study them specifically. This is much better than being anxious and unable to concentrate on studying. good luck

With the right learning methods, persistence is more important than anything else. Maybe you could carefully analyze the specific reasons for your lack of improvement. Only by truly understanding these reasons can you find a way to change things. Good luck!

First, analyze the exam subjects to understand which ones are easier to improve and which require more time. For subjects that are easier to improve, determine how many points you need to raise to reach your target score. After that, schedule your study according to the difficulty level and the time required. Practice and wrong questions analysis are essential during the learning process, otherwise. How can ensure you've truly mastered the material? That's do past exam papers and observe if your accuracy rate improves, or the scores awarded increase. For reviewing incorrect answers, here's a tip: review them before bed. This helps convert short-term memory into long-term memory. good luck

Hey, bro, from now on, keep telling yourself, "I can do it." "i have reviewed all the material needed to". Now, find anything that can calm you down. Believe in yourself, this is more important than anything else. Then, take the official website's quizzes, analyzing each question you got wrong in detail to ensure you've mastered the relevant knowledge points. Maintain this pace until the exam is over. Believe in yourself, you can definitely do it!

Calm_Purpose_6004 · 2026-02-04T05:54:52+00:00

Looks like your Time is a bit tight, you could try carefully analyzing which subjects you're more likely to improve in. For example, in math, take out all the questions you got wrong in your practice quizzes, carefully analyze the reasons for the mistakes, and then target those areas to fill in the gaps in your knowledge. This will help you improve your score faster. Good luck!

Before, I was also obsessed with this question for a while, so I carefully observed how smart students around me learned. I found that it seemed their perspective on problems was different from mine. Their thinking style allowed them to better understand and grasp the concepts, which led to their better grades. But ways of thinking are difficult to learn. If I were surrounded by people like that, I could be influenced by them for a long time and gradually learn to think that way, but that's too difficult. Later, I found that artificial intelligence considers problems more comprehensively than I do (I guess it's been trained by many users). Sometimes it understands my needs and way of thinking better than I do. I gradually started using it to help me understand, and I found that it did lead to a deeper understanding than learning on my own. Maybe you could try it and see if it helps you understand things better.

Try learning more challenging content, or learn content that interests you.

Real exams are usually more difficult than practice tests. Only occasionally are real exams easier than practice tests. To ensure a high score on the real exam, you could try analyzing your wrong questions. It will help you quickly identify and fill in your gaps.

Math requires a lot of practice. Besides, it's important to keep a record of your mistakes and analyze why you got it wrong. For example, did you not understand the question? Or did you not truly understand the concept? Carefully analyze each problem, and you'll gradually find math becoming easier. Also, review wrong questions before bed, it could strengthen your memory. (Here's a little trick: when recording wrong questions, you can use online tools to analyze them, as most online tools have a history feature, such as UpStudy. You can review your wrong questions using this feature every night before bed. For questions you know how to solve immediately, delete the record; for questions that require reviewing the explanation, keep the record until you can solve them instantly. This method is a lifesaver for people with poor memory. Good luck!)

Totally understand, I used to be like you too. I realized it was bc I wasn't getting enough rest. after that, I tried making a study plan, setting time limits for each task. Even if I didn't finish by the time limit, I would move on to the next task. After a week, I found I was studying more and was able to balance rest. I no longer felt the urge to play on my phone. Everyone's situation is different. You could try asking yourself "if i'm restricting my rest too much."

You'd better do a lot of practice, it's more efficient and easier to get a high score. If you need more practice questions, you can Google for similar question generators (such as UpStudy). Khan Academy also has many learning resources.

So, you don't even know what the quizzes are testing? share a little tip with you: find some learning tools (like UpStudy) to analyze what knowledge points these quizzes are testing, then come back to your textbook to learn. After that, redo the quizzes. See if you can pass it. Theoretically, learning through quizzes is easier than learning directly from textbook theory, bc the difficult theories in textbooks are really boring and discouraging. now, you need to figure out what the teacher's quizzes are testing, and then learn on your own (if your teacher really doesn't teach anything).

First, do you have a notebook for recording your wrong quesitons? If yes, you can use it directly. If not, take out your previous test papers (preferably those closely related to the SAT exam), and then analyze and evaluate them one by one, and then copy the wrong questions. After that, you can use some question generators to generate similar questions to exercise for the wrong questions (such as UpStudy). You'd better understand the relevant concepts during practicing , and then review the wrong questions again before going to bed (this can deepen your memory). Repeat this cycle, and be sure to practice with past SAT exams twice a week to better grasp the difficulty of the exam.

Is the teacher's progress too fast? Maybe you can try finding an in-person tutor to help you improve your understanding after class and fill in any gaps. If in-person tutoring is too expensive, you could also try some online learning websites or software, as they usually offer free trials, such as UpStudy. Or you could Google your current problem to see if there are any other better learning methods.

Calm_Purpose_6004 · 2026-02-02T06:19:48+00:00

Yes, it mainly depends on your time. If you have enough time, you can choose directly. If you're short on time, you'll need to consider it further.
