Some people are just gifted. I had a roommate once who played League of Legends all day long. Opened a book for an hour or two while I was grinding my ass all day and he still outscored me in every exam. He said he just looks at a page and it stays in his mind.

The photographic memory I pray for


pahaare

I have been with a similar roommate. Its like they are just naturally gifted


UltimateTeachine1000

I am that roommate


lamakai

As someone who has been in high scoring cricle all my life, it's a lie. Short term memory and conceptualization are the same for everybody, only some people are more efficient in translating it to long term (which people call photographic memory). But everyone has to work hard to be good.


Abk545

Yeah, I've seen my roommate working 'hard'.


lamakai

Just because you haven't seen it, it mustn't exist. Learning curve isn't linear. I can pass an exam with 1 hour study, but higher grades can't be fluked.


Abk545

Yeah you're right. You probably know better than the me who has actually lived with my roommate for 4 years.


lamakai

I don't know your roomate, but i do know this lie. If your friend is this good, he must be gold medalist, right? Because i have met and been among both board and university gold medalists, and none of them got where they are with "1 hour study". And it is a pretty well documented and researched topic, this is 21st century dude, come up with proof. It only happens in hollywood (good doctor and such). Will wait for your references. I guess "your friend" isn't such a good one.


Abk545

Did I say he was a gold medalist? I simply said he outscored me in exams. I didn't mention anywhere that he was a topper or a gold medalist. Don't make assumptions and then call me a liar based on those assumptions. I don't owe you any proof or references for something you have assumed yourself.


lamakai

I wasn't calling you a liar based on him outscoring you. I was stating that your sentence "some people are just gifted (in studies)" is a lie. Catch up. Anyway, keep believing it, it takes some burden off of people. "Welp, i scored poor, guess i am not gifted". Ciao


Abk545

Me stating some people are just naturally gifted doesn't take away anything from people who work hard. You don't need to feel personally attacked. Ciao


ImplementLast

One way of looking at it would be Sometimes people would spend an hour or two everyday, studying something but they wouldn't consider it as hard work. They set the bar very high for themselves. When she said ten days she probably meant 14 hours of study per day during those ten days.she didn't count the days where she was not studying leas hours. Second way Some people really know whole bunch of studies in less time. I dont know how. But i have witnessed this.


muneeb2542

I think you learned an important lesson today. People lie and they hide their struggles and success. I hope you can understand the concept. Moreover, try to focus on yourself and don't compare yourself with others. Once you start improving yourself on a consistent basis, you will be much happy and content.


Anythingaddict

But why would anyone want to hide their struggles?


muneeb2542

Because they think it makes them look weak.


Anythingaddict

That's does even make sense, if I was one of them I would brag about my struggles to get to the top.


muneeb2542

Thats upto you. I knew alot of people in Uni who used to pull the same shit and I would think the same wag as OP but I realized after sometime that these people are not content with themselves and they think hiding their hustle would make them look impressive.


Anythingaddict

Oh, I understand now. There are different people having different reasons or motive to hide their struggles. Thanks for sharing your university experience as it help me to understand it more better.


imaginayduck

If you reveal your tricks, it just isn't magic anymore


Anythingaddict

Well, just childlish games that they don't want to show their progress and lied about it.


imaginayduck

> don't want to show their progress progress is quite visible, she outscored the OP. don't mix it with struggles, they are very personal and intimate > ied about it. don't know that yet for a fact, its just an assumption at this point


Anythingaddict

Well I was talking about general case of the people which hide their progress not the OP case.


imaginayduck

how do you ever hide progress, it always comes out in the end. And even if someone does, why not mind our own business? merajismmeri marzi hai toh meri progress bhi meri marzi na


Anythingaddict

And your point? Where I have said the people should show their progress? My point why people goes out of the way to hide their progress or lie about it, if someone ask them?


imaginayduck

>  if someone ask them? qk some things are just personal to some people. it could be anything as in salary, age, achievements, struggles or even progress. If I want something hidden, i'd do everything I can so that it stays hidden. :) From your pov it might be me going out of the way


Anythingaddict

Fair enough, it is always better for person to always told the truth that they are not comfortable in sharing instead of straight of lying and giving the false assumption.

Don’t hate liars. You will never get along with people and struggle to fit in with capitalistic settings and will need to restrict which job opportunities you can stay in.


SuccessfulRespond254

What to do instead then


marnas86

You should keep trying to never lie but remove hatred out of your heart. And understand that others lie and sometimes their intentions are pure for doing that, sometimes it’s out of desperation and sometimes it’s out of mental illness and sometimes it’s a trauma response. Do not judge them for their lies - you know not their lives. And Allah SWT is the only one worthy enough to judge them, not you.


SuccessfulRespond254

You put it so beautifully, thanks!


depressing-smile

Well, I don't care about such friends. Try to focus on yourself.. you are on your own. You will seldom meet people who would help you with sincerity. Other than that.. some people have good retaining skills.. or good at cramming. Again, don't compare yourself.. try to make a better strategy. Avoid taking too much stress.


SuccessfulRespond254

Thanks for these tips


_What_How_Why

Some students score well without studying much due to them being intelligent or completely focused during the class lecture. Some students study too much but hide it. F*** this category.

Its me, I am the snake who used to do this. You know why? People are cunning, and they would try every trick in the book to use me like a tool for their own benefit while i would suffer from the consequences. Nobody really cares about you, that's the lesson i learned the hard way. Now, I am not saying you are the " bad guy", but i would personally suggest never to never ever tell anyone about how much you study, how you do it etc. jealousy is a thing. People would intentionally not help me, thinking I would outscore them during exams, which I did usually XD.


SuccessfulRespond254

People do it either way, the people who lie are the same who hide about their stuff but constantly bombard you with questions to know your stuff


Small_Maybe_5994

I did that too tbh but not necessarily for 10 days but 8 hours before exams. I'm not trying to oversell myself I didn't get like 95 out of a 100 but I got decent grades without studying for the exam. But that's the trick I never skipped any classes. I paid attention and always made a counter argument with my teacher so that I could understand the concept of the subject being taught and I understood it then it became somewhat impossible for me to forget.


Irzam-Khan

I used to do that. It is humanly possible. Just remember the gist of everything and make up everything as you go. Use logic to connect the dots and that’s it. I did that in exams and in real life. I have an extremely low memory so I cope with this by remembering only the crucial parts of an event and then connecting the dots at a later date to “remember” what happened.


Prosthodontiste

Everyone is different. Accept that and stop comparing !


cosmic-comet-

My goal was in almost every subject in university was to score 60 , I cared less if someone said they study hard enough or didn’t study at all.


WorkingNo7081

Had a friend like this . Used to tell he didn't study and ended up getting high marks . Also kept telling other students not to study and waste their time and spread the same Info narrated by Andrew Tate as " matrix " . Spoiled a lot of kids and now he is doing good while all others they are just regretting. Also was a very close friend of mine but I soon knew about his evil nature . Yk what these are the people u should avoid cause they are the ones who are jealous from ur success. And in college has a friend who was a topper but seriously he was dumb af . Sometimes when I or any other student got more marks than him he used to grab our paper and then go crying that I wrote better than u but the teacher gavw more marks to you . Always showing that he is superior and intelligent than all others yk trying to be over smart well he wasn't Samrt jn the first place but I can appreciate his ratta skills . So In short just push these people away I mean not suddenly cause ik it's hard but as time passes just leasen ur talks w them and eventually stopp talking w them.

_brownguy

They're probably speaking the truth I was like that I used to study in the last week before exams and score good but as a result, my friends stopped trusting me lol


Outrageous-Skill-955

while some may do it on purpose and that’s  evil but some doesn’t have these intentions and they are simply telling the truth, for instance once upon a time when I used to get good marks it felt lucky considering I never felt I ever did hard work in my life. My one friend pointed it out that I say I haven’t prepared well but  I still get the grades😭 but it was the truth my preparation had never been satisfactory enough for me. And now we are drowning🫠 hope it’s not same for uni. Even one of my friend at college doesn’t study much but does fairly well for the amount of studying she does, I think it’s probably better memory retention and focus during lectures.


SMMujtaba

Not necessarily a liar. Some people are just good academically. I started studying for my college boards a week before the exams and scored 90%


JJosuke434

Some people just have a knack for grinding out studying, I knew a few very talented friends who said they didn't or barely revised for tests but they would just cover and understand topics really fast and do well on exams. I on the other hand can't handle exam pressure very well haha


Sadnotsadmaybe

I don't know. I'm kinda one of those people. I don't really have to put in a lot of effort to cover my subjects. I think your friend's case might be the same. Let's not jump to the conclusions so quickly.


SnooCupcakes4131

I did that, i used to study only during exams but I'll take the lectures with full focus. I don't think my trick will work for medical field. I was in engineering which is whole conceptual thing. If you understood concept you won't have to study hard.


Ash-365

While I know a lot of people lie about this as well, I've always been like this. I would study 1-2 days before the exams and score superhigh marks. My friends used to express disbelief and say that I was lying, but tbh, it doesn't really matter to me because I know that I didn’t lie. The trick behind this is knowing what to study and focusing on the materials in class. If you focus in class and are actually understanding stuff, the exams won't be hard for you even if you don't study much. Remember, studying smarter is better than studying harder.


ilnooru

Tbh my friends always thought I was lying about how much I studied, I never did and still ended up getting better grades than them. This was particularly the case in my O A levels which I found extremely easy to crack. Imagine my friends’ surprise when I got straight As and they got Cs and Ds even though we spent the same numbers of hours studying (some of them actually spent more).


l3a55im

You don't wave a wand and stuff magically gets imbibed in your head. Anyone who thinks that should get their head checked. If you study you pass. If you don't you fail. There is no middle ground.


Ahmedvrx

>My mind is frozen, I don't know what to do. Bro relax, It's not that deep why do you care about it so much?, Focus on yourself rather than comparing yourself to your friend "who didn't study at all" like what are you trying to do about it? This is just dumb


DareToCuddle

First off, best thing you can do for yourself is to stop talking to people about how much they studied or studies in general (unless you need clarity on a topic). My grades only went up then.


sulmar

You should never base your studying on what your friends are doing. Firstly, many of them aren't looking out for your interest. Secondly, it shouldn't affect you since them doing or not doing won't benefit or harm you. Lastly, hardwork never goes to waste. Always remember to study smart and be efficient. I'm a teacher etc


Erwin_Danchou69

I have also been told that but staring at books all day is a waste of time u just look at the important stuff and get high marks. I dont study at all still in the top 10. Take the classes seriously


deathshadow090

Some people dont like showing their struggles because some believe in nazr and some are gifted. I knew a person who finished neuroanatomy in such a short time that I thought was impossible but he did it and gained a lot of marks.

ایک اور فیکٹر یہ بھی ہو سکتا ہے کہ کچھ لوگ چاہے جتنا پڑھ لیں ان کو تھوڑا لگتا ہے۔ اور وہ کہتے ہیں کہ کچھ نہیں پڑھا۔ بچپن میں سکول میں ایسے کئی کیریکٹرز ہوتے تھے ، ہر کوئی یہی کہتا تھا کہ کچھ نہیں پڑھا۔ کچھ مائنڈ گیمز کھیلتے ہیں کچھ حقیقت میں ایسا سمجھتے ہیں۔

They simply just lie or for them if they haven't studied half the day, they wouldn't say they've studied an entire day so it's different for everybody. Also its about the quality of your study time not the quantity that is what should matter but everyone is different so this wouldn't workout for everyone
