Someone once asked...

“No matter how much I study or what I study i just can't remember it I think it's my overthinking or my depression but I can't remember anything I have my finals in 13 days i have 8 subjects to study so basically 40 chapters and i haven't read a single one i am very stressed about my studies I study really well but one question takes me one hour to study now and i forget it the second I close my book even if I remember idk what to write in that question how do I solve this”

Someone answered with kindness...

I get it. It's really difficult to study for some people, and people just go on and on raving about how it's so easy for them and they remember everything. You're stuck here thinking, "I can't remember anything." What I'll say and tell you is: don't focus more on the remembering part of it. Focus on the application part of it. 40 chapters in 13 days is a lot, so I would suggest: do not pressure yourself by starting all 40 chapters across 8 subjects. Focus on chapters that you're really interested in and that have good weightage. Focus on those. Take time. Learn application. Learn to solve applicative questions. Answer them. If they are all that you have to remember, then make a story out of it. Make a story if it's everything. They could fall either into application-based questions or into questions you can only remember. The ones you can only remember 1. Make a story out of it and try to remember it like a story. 2. Prioritize because you really need to do it. 3. Right now is not the time to lament because you don't have a lot of time in your hand. You would have had a month or so after I've told you to lament, but right now you don't have time to lament, so just focus on answering the questions. Focus on getting better and just focus on whatever little you can do. All the best!
