AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a 15-year-old student expressing anxiety about upcoming mocks and GCSE exams, highlighting a lack of prior revision experience despite achieving good grades in earlier assessments. The student seeks effective study strategies for the exams, which are a month away, and also requests information on university requirements for aspiring medical students. Responses suggest that cramming is not an effective strategy and emphasize the importance of genuine interest in the subject matter. Some contributors argue that if studying feels overwhelmingly stressful, it may indicate a misalignment with the subject or career path. The conversation also touches on the nuances of the terms "advise" and "advice." Overall, the focus remains on finding effective revision techniques and understanding the demands of pursuing a medical career.

Hey all. I've got some serious mocks/exams coming up and I just can't seem to be able to revise/study for them. I'm only 15 and I haven't previously revised at all for any exam (including KS3 and a couple of official GCSE science exams), however still obtaining good grades. Since GCSE is obviously more intense than KS3 and any other previous exams I am worried that if I don't revise or study then I won't obtain the grades that I want.

To the main point, I would really appreciate it if someone can advise me on how to successfully revise and study for these exams which are in a months time. In addition, I would like to be become a doctor therefore if anyone can also give me some advise on what universities want from people relating to medicine that'll be great.

Thank you very much.

P.S: Getting confused on whether if it's advise or advice.

You're either feeling it and loving the subject or you're going crazy with stress because you can't do any of it without ****ing up. Even as much as you think you might want to do this subject, it isn't for you if it's a battle the whole time.

There is no such thing as successful revision.
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
