There is a brazilian lady that created a youtube channel with tips to succeed in local admission exams. She is focused on high competition, such as engineering (she is one) and meds (she passed by studying 3 months prior then dropped out in the first month). She skipped MA and went from BC straight into PhD to study rockets and propulsion systems.
I can really relate to almost everything she said.
1- Some students pretend to be smart by telling you to use this or that book because they are the hardest and the best books. Wrong! Most of them are going to fail the exam.
2- She was felling self defeated because she was always felling that she was behind everyone else. This is what forced her to abandon the classes and focus on her own struggles and how to learn what she needed to learn to succeed.
3- The self defeating mindset is really a problem. If you don't believe it, you'll most likely not going to pass.
4- Don't stick to the course that you are enrolled in. They have their own order and pace and it'll inevitably not match your own.
5- Don't copy everything! You waste all your energy into copying without understanding anything!
6- There is a video in which she mentioned a self-blame mindset. Like this "Oh! I'm here at the supermarket and there is this 15 minutes line to pay and go home. DAMN! I WISH I WAS AT HOME STUDYING RIGHT NOW! 15 minutes!".
7- People try to focus on reading and understanding every little detail because anything and everything is important! Nothing to be left behind! This mindset is overwhelming and is most likely going to cause you to burn out sooner or later. Spending many hours reading and then writing recaps on every topic is not efficient, it's counter productive.
8- Watch a video or attend a class. This does not mean that you have learned. In fact, this is an illusion!
9- She was ashamed of asking questions, because lots of her peers pretended to know everything. She mentions that while she was at a school with a focus on hard admission exams, her peers pretended that everything was easy. "Oh! The exam tomorrow? I don't need to study, I already know everything! People who waste hours studying are losers. Look at my grade, A++++ without having to sit down and study many hours! (I'm a genius!)". Where did they learn that? What the ****??
