How to Study Like a Harvard Student
Taken from Sophia Chua-Rubenfeld, daughter of the Tiger Mother
Preliminary Steps 1. Choose classes that interest you. That way studying doesnât feel like slave labor. If you donât want to learn, then I canât help you. 2. Make some friends. See steps 12, 13, 23, 24. General Principles 3. Study less, but study better. 4. Avoid Autopilot Brain at all costs. 5. Vague is bad. Vague is a waste of your time. 6. Write it down. 7. Suck it up, buckle down, get it done. Plan of Attack Phase I: Class 8. Show up. Everything will make a lot more sense that way, and you will save yourself a lot of time in the long run. 9. Take notes by hand. I donât know the science behind it, but doing anything by hand is a way of carving it into your memory. Also, if you get bored you will doodle, which is still a thousand times better than ending up on stumbleupon or something. Phase II: Study Time 10. Get out of the library. The sheer fact of being in a library doesnât fill you with knowledge. Eight hours of Facebooking in the library is still eight hours of Facebooking. Also, people who bring food and blankets to the library and just stay there during finals week start to smell weird. Go home and bathe. You can quiz yourself while you wash your hair. 11. Do a little every day, but donât let it be your whole day. âThis afternoon, I will read a chapter of something and do half a problem set. Then, I will watch an episode of South Park and go to the gymâ ALWAYS BEATS âStarting right now, I am going to read as much as I possibly canâŠoh wow, now itâs midnight, Iâm on page five, and my room reeks of ramen and dysfunction.â 12. Give yourself incentive. Thereâs nothing worse than a gaping abyss of study time. If you know youâre going out in six hours, youâre more likely to get something done. 13. Allow friends to confiscate your phone when they catch you playing Angry Birds. Oh and if you think you need a break, you probably donât. Phase III: Assignments 14. Stop highlighting. Underlining is supposed to keep you focused, but itâs actually a one-way ticket to Autopilot Brain. You zone out, look down, and suddenly you have five pages of neon green that you donât remember reading. Write notes in the margins instead. 15. Do all your own work. You get nothing out of copying a problem set. Itâs also shady. 16. Read as much as you can. No way around it. Stop trying to cheat with Sparknotes. 17. Be a smart reader, not a robot (lol). Ask yourself: What is the author trying to prove? What is the logical progression of the argument? You can usually answer these questions by reading the introduction and conclusion of every chapter. Then, pick any two examples/anecdotes and commit them to memory (write them down). They will help you reconstruct the authorâs argument later on. 18. Donât read everything, but understand everything that you read. Better to have a deep understanding of a limited amount of material, than to have a vague understanding of an entire course. Once again: Vague is bad. Vague is a waste of your time. 19. Bullet points. For essays, summarizing, everything. Phase IV: Reading Period (Review Week) 20. Once again: do not move into the library. Eat, sleep, and bathe. 21. If you donât understand it, it will definitely be on the exam. Solution: textbooks; the internet. 22. Do all the practice problems. This one is totally tiger mom. 23. People are often contemptuous of rote learning. Newsflash: even at great intellectual bastions like Harvard, you will be required to memorize formulas, names and dates. To memorize effectively: stop reading your list over and over again. It doesnât work. Say it out loud, write it down. Remember how you made friends? Have them quiz you, then return the favor. 24. Again with the friends: ask them to listen while you explain a difficult concept to them. This forces you to articulate your understanding. Remember, vague is bad. 25. Go for the big picture. Try to figure out where a specific concept fits into the course as a whole. This will help you tap into Big Themes â every class has Big Themes â which will streamline what you need to know. You can learn a million facts, but until you understand how they fit together, youâre missing the point. Phase V: Exam Day 26. Crush exam. Get A.
hi!! for my first post i thought iâd compile some tips/links for studying for finals!
review of information:
-crash course: video summaries by john green. Â they have a lot of extra information in them so you really have to focus on the facts but theyâre very lighthearted. Â i mainly use crash course for history and science.
-khan academy: the basic idea is their long videos explaining and showing  different processes and concepts.  i mainly use them for science and math.
-regents prep: since i live in new york, we have to take different regents exams each year of high school. Â regents prep has lessons with practice questions on various topics.Â
practice:
-kuta software: tons of good math review worksheets.
-quia: user submitted review games/tests on topics in many subjects.
-quizlet: online flashcards
music:
acoustic focus music: the music on this youtube channel is phenomenal plus some videos are at least three hours.
minecraft soundtrack: the nerd inside of me loves this. Â itâs all instrumental and perfect for focusing plus video game soundtracks are always made to keep you interested.
obviously thereâs much more but this is a good place to start!

Little fact about French because I just learned that
The accent circonflexe (^) exists in French words to replace the âsâ that no longer exists but used to be there in older French.
For example: fenĂȘtre used to be fenestre
It is still possible to see the âsâ at times in family words like âdĂ©fenestrerâ.
knowing this, « ĂȘtre » becomes much more regular :
ĂȘtreâââ estreâ(es, est, sommes, ĂȘ[s]tes, sont ; ser-)
some French derivations become clearer :
fenĂȘtre  â dĂ©fenestrerââ L. fenestra
fĂȘte âââ festival
hĂŽpitalââ hospitaliserâ(E. hospital, ise)
intĂ©rĂȘt ââ intĂ©ressantâ(E. interest, -ing)
ancĂȘtre â ancestralâ(E. ancestor, -ral)
arrĂȘt â â arrestation
Ă©pĂźtreâ â Ă©pistolaireâ(E. epistle)
some English cognates become more obvious :
hĂŽtelâ â hostelâ(E. âhotelâ borrowed from French)
forĂȘtâ â forestâ(tipp to remember ^ goes on the âčeâș)
bĂȘteâ â beast
cĂŽte ââ coast
honnĂȘteââ honest
pĂąte, pĂątĂ© â pasta, paste
quĂȘteâ ââ quest
enquĂȘteâ â inquest
tempĂȘteâ â tempest
vĂȘtements â vestments (ie. clothes)
baptĂȘmeââ baptism
sometimes, the acute replaces the circumfex for phonetic reasons :
ážcoleââ â escoleââ L. schola (E. school)
ážtranger  â estrangierâ(E. stranger)
ážtudier â â estudierâ(E. study)
dážgoĂ»tant â desgoustantâ(E. disgusting)
dážbarquer â desembarquerâ(E. disembark)
rážpondre â respondreâ(E. respond)
rážpublique â L. res publica
Also, where « c â ch » (eg. cantareâ chanter) :
chĂąteau â castelâ(E. castle)
pĂȘcher â L. piscare
and « w â gu » (eg. warâ guerre ; wardenâ guardian) :
guĂȘpe â E. wasp !â(this is my n° 1 favourite cognate)
bonus etymologies :
tĂȘte âââ L. testa
fantĂŽme â L. phantasmaâ(E. âphantomâ borrowed from French)
PĂąques â Gk. pĂĄsxa â Am. pĂ©saáž«â(E. Paschal)
Also just be aware that the circumflex has some other uses too, like distinguishing « sur â sĂ»r » or « dĂ» » and the vowel quality in « Ăąge »
Who wants to do the 40 book challenge with me for 2017? đđđ
20.12// i canât force myself to start learning today. Only few days to Christmas. I need a friend who will motivate me đđ»
After years of tutoring and studying many hours every day for over 7 years, I know that studying can be a horrible experience if you donât like studying out of a book. People spend hours reading and reading, but at the end of the day they ask themselves âwhat did I just learn.. I forgot it all againâ, resulting in bad grades, a low self-esteem, stress, and so on. Education system GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER, but until then, here are some tips that I always gave to my students and to myself!
Watch YouTube videos While you watch YouTube videos, take notes and really LISTEN. Donât just stare at your screen, maybe even pause it every 30 seconds and think about what the teacher in the video talked about. Do you understand it? If not, scroll back and listen to it again! The goal is to understand it, not to know it.
Make a PowerPoint or other slide show presentation Pretend like you are the teacher! Try to teach your âclassâ about the subject. Youâll find out that you understand some parts, but others not so much. Try to figure out what you donât really understand yet, and watch a YouTube video about it, then try to explain it again. The goal is to be able to teach your âclassâ about the subject with full confidence! Maybe even ask friends or parents if they can ask questions about it!
Draw! By visualizing what youâve just learned, you see it in a whole different way. Instead of linking words together, draw connections and systems of how it works. Of course this depends on the subject, this is easier to do with biology than with mathematics, but when youâre drawing youâre really focusing on the small details. These small details are super important! And a drawing is easier to remember than a text. The goal is to see connections, and spend more time focusing on understanding the smaller parts.
Read the text out loud, and record it By reading it out loud, you make it real! Often when we read quickly in our heads we skip parts or we just start thinking about something else. By actually reading, you are a lot more focused and understanding what youâre reading is much easier. And record it, then listen back to it when youâre in bed, or whenever you want to listen to it! Talk slowly and emphasize the important words! The goal is to get familiar with the terms, and the more you listen to it, the better you will remember it, obviously :)
- Hang in there!! đ Letâs make 2017 a fantastic year academically! Good luck with all your tests, I really hope I will help you with these tips!
