A keypad phone, deleted social media, no movies, some even left anime, manga stuff, replying very very late 2-3 days, hanging out according to their plans, studying together with other students, in library even in exams, and keeping a overall confident mindset like they can pass the backs
4-5 people in my class did this.
I am now thinking, if they had figured out the system they needed to pass the exam even before bachlors. All of them are passouts and most of them barely failed exams.
Maybe they felt study anxiety, could not focus, so they made this system to pass exams.
The mistakes i made, first, was when you hangout with people who only have backs. I know nobody wants backs, everyones have dreams goals and their own expectations.
Some had study anxiety like me, some had terrible migranes when they tired to study, some were constantly escaping from studying. This one person, failed 4-5 subjects every semester like me, but got 60 in physics back exam, but skipped all other exams. So, it really was not about the ability.
But, when you are in a group where most of them fail all or only pass 2 exams, it becomes your normal. and there nobody knows how to get of that loop.
Only when you ask your friends who have actually passed the exams, you will get a feeling of like passing can also be possible and its normal. Some will even teach you on how to study to pass.
That kinda worked for me. Cause in 6th sem i was in minor project group with such students. I started failing less subjects, suddenly passing felt not so hard or complicated. Studied 2-3 days for internal exams, started preparing old past qns, reading from correct resources, before i was buying useless insights, gave internal exams, and number of backs decreased.
The previous group had basically given up, some dropped out and some skipped classes.
But all went to hell after being batchout, no social circle, anxiety worn, exams won.
