Why Watching Lectures Isn’t Enough – The Key to Real Learning

One troubling trend that I have been observing is that students take recordings from multiple channels and feel that their preparation is sorted!

However, relying only on recorded lecture videos is not enough to master the material. Just like watching sports won’t make you an athlete, passively watching videos won’t make you fully prepared for exams. I, honestly, feel that the entire concept of recorded lecture has become a tedious hassle Post - Covid.

While lectures may help you understand concepts, real learning happens when you actively engage with the material.

To build confidence and improve retention, make sure you:
✅ Practice problems regularly – Apply what you’ve learned instead of just watching it.
✅ Test yourself – Challenge your understanding with quizzes and past exam questions.
✅ Review mistakes – Learn from errors to strengthen weak areas.
✅ Summarize concepts in your own words – Active recall is far more effective than passive listening.

Make practice a daily habit, and you’ll see the difference in your understanding, speed, and exam performance!

How do you divide a pizza equally among 11 people?

Dont use Google

Guys

I repeatedly say this

Do not do any financial transaction with any individual who approaches you on Telegram.

You don't know anyone from Adam, let alone verify their authenticity.

I hate to sound cynical but assume you are being scammed if anyone approaches you with a sob story, "I need money for XXXX and feel safe to approach you" yada yada...

Maturing is realizing:

- You lack focus, not potential.
- You lack consistency, not ability.
- You lack strategy, not resources.
- You lack discipline, not opportunities.

Profile of a 100%iler?

Anyone can be a 💯100%iler. There maybe one sitting next to you!

They may not have a 47th chromosome 🧬. They may not have been a topper 🏆 throughout their lives. They are just like you and I. They have their social 🎦media accounts and would have watched a plethora of web series🎬. And they might have continued to remain just ordinary, like the bulk of us.

However, they decided that it was high time to make a change. And they changed themselves. They reimagined themselves.

The real question here is DO YOU WANT AN ADMISSION IN A TOP B SCHOOL AND ARE YOU WILLING TO WORK FOR IT?

A 100 %iler has
1. A plan that needs to be followed diligently 📅
2. A dedication to stick to the plan despite numerous distractions 🎂🎦
3. A confidence to keep the morale up 😁
4. A courage to accept mistakes, rectify and then move on 🥉
5. A willingness to sacrifice and move out of their comfort zone 🎯

Not exactly "Rocket Science" is it? That's because it is not! The only thing between your current situation and your Dream B School is YOU! 🫵🏽

I know I have been irregular but too hectic schedule 😭

How do I avoid distractions while studying

Studying requires concentration and focus, and distractions can significantly hamper your productivity and learning. Here are some tips to help you avoid distractions while studying:

1. Create a dedicated study space: Find a quiet place where you can focus on your studies, free from distractions. This can be a library, a study room, or a quiet corner of your house.

2. Turn off notifications: Put your phone on silent mode, turn off notifications on your computer, and disconnect from social media while studying to minimize distractions.

3. Use a timer: Use a timer to break down your study sessions into smaller chunks of focused work, and take short breaks in between to recharge your energy and focus.

4. Set goals and prioritize tasks: Set specific goals for each study session and prioritize tasks based on their importance and urgency. This can help you stay focused and avoid procrastination.

5. Avoid multitasking: Multitasking can decrease your productivity and increase the likelihood of distractions. Focus on one task at a time and give it your full attention.

Remember that avoiding distractions requires discipline and practice. By creating a conducive environment and setting clear goals, you can minimize distractions and maximize your learning potential.

Happy Learning

How to be more disciplined

1. Set SMART Goals - Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. Easy to track progress and stay motivated.

2. Break your goals and tasks into smaller, more manageable steps

3. Be Consistent with a routine and stay dedicated to it. Higher consistency results in better discipline

4. Set up a reward system for yourself for when you stick to your goals. This could be anything from a favourite treat or activity, to buying yourself something you’ve been wanting.

5. Use positive self-talk. say “I can do this, I just need to keep working at it” instead of “I can’t do this”.

6. Find someone to hold you accountable for sticking to your goals. This could be a friend, family member etc.

Do let me know if this works for you or not

All those of you who are focusing on collecting material from this resource and that resource - If nothing else, at least start going through all the previous year question papers.

You have more than 20 papers from 2017 to 2024.

Practice them. They are the best resource material that you could ever get.

It is all relative.

If you will not practice, SOMEONE ELSE WILL. And obviously they will get the higher percentile!!!
