reblog this if you’re a filipino studyblr studying for the CETs!!!

And if you want, you can say in the tags which universities you’re hoping to get into + your strand! I’m a HUMSS student primarily hoping to get into ADMU, but I’m studying for the DCAT and UPCAT, too. I just started studying two weeks ago, and it’d be great if I could follow some people who’re doing the same thing so we can pool resources in/motivate each other!

Yo! Welcome to the studyblr community! I'm honored to know you stalk my blog HAHAHHAHA. Good luck in your studies!

hi everyone!

i used to have another studyblr but i wasn’t really active there so i ended up deleting it. i decided to start over since i need some motivation to keep myself working in summer (and stop wasting my life being lazy af). 

about me:

my name is beatriz (is ok to call me bea)

i’m 20 

gemini, infp

i’m from Spain

i’ll be starting my 3rd year of university in september!! (I study modern languages, culture and communication)

i study german and french (used to study english but not anymore, rip)

i really enjoy reading, painting watercolors and taking photos

i have a cat that I love with my life

cheesy dumb movies? y e s

academic goals

my main goal is to stop doing things last minute, this is gonna be hard

i also want to get better grades but i don’t want to stress with this that much

it would be really awesome to write more often !!

also to read more

i need to get my french level higher by the end of the year

and it would be really cool to learn a new language

what kind of post should you expect?

i will try to keep up with @myhoneststudyblr‘s summer study challenge

mediocre pics of my mediocre bujo

maybe some posts talking about the books i read

here is my goodreads

some studyblrs i really enjoy stalking (i also would like to find new ones!)

@phd-theology @philology-studies @starrystvdy @procrastilate @emmastudies @365text @studyign @bbstudies @study-van @gloomstudy @myhoneststudyblr @pagtuon

I wrote a long update post about learning Japanese through the Mass Immersion Approach for 100 days.

I don’t hear much about the Mass Immersion Approach or immersion-based learning methods in the langblr community, so I thought I’d share my two cents. I’ve tried out lots of language learning methods over the years to learn different languages, from traditional textbook learning to Gabriel Wyner’s Fluent Forever method. The Mass Immersion Approach (MIA) is the one that has clicked the most to me. It is the approach I have had the most fun with and the most progress with in a short amount of time. Unlike other language learning methods, it (1) is backed up with theory; (2) is backed up with success stories; (3) has a very loyal community; (4) is very flexible; (5) aims to help language learners achieve a high degree of fluency (not just reach a basic level of fluency) in their target language. It makes the most sense to me because this is, unconsciously, how I acquired my third language, Bisaya.

As I explained within my post, the Mass Immersion Approach is founded on two ideas: (1) that you can learn a language not through textbooks but through immersing yourself in native content of your target language; and (2) you can supplement your immersion by learning grammar points and vocabulary with a spaced repetition-based flashcard system. Following these two principles, you will be able to efficiently develop an unconscious, visceral intuition as to how the language works. Once this intuition becomes sharp enough, you can begin practicing output (speaking/writing).

If you want more detailed explanations, please check out those provided by its founders, Matt and Yoga:

I’d like to point out that I’m not saying this is the be-all-end-all study method that IS GOING TO WORK OUT FOR ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE AND IF YOU DISAGREE WITH ME YOU’RE A HEATHEN THAT MUST BE BURNT AT A STAKE. I just think this method is way more legit than others, and it’s worth checking out.

June is almost over and we are feeling the summer here: the last days have been sunny and warm. 

I’m trying to just study and not to think about how desperate I am about my exam (actually my exams, my last 3 exams). 

I studied a lot, I studied everything and maybe it’s simply too much for my stressed brain to process and remember. In the end, I may fail because I studied too much, but - in a word - badly: it’s what hurts the most. 

I am not an efficient machine, sorry everyone. 

As always, I didn’t manage to organize my studying at the best, for many reasons, so I could not revise properly all the materials. I definitely underestimated the difficulty of revising in another language.  

Maybe I will do surprisingly well during the exam, or maybe not. 

My brain is terribly full and tired. This exam seems ENDLESS and I feel like I’m burning out. I feel stupid for being so disorganized: I always overestimate my capacity and I end up with overloading myself and not accomplishing my daily goals. I don’t really know how the other people manage to be so efficient.

It was supposed to be a better month, but in the end, I didn’t succeed in my resolutions. In fact, I even broke some good habits (workouts and journaling) because of study: however, I’m determined to start them again, soon as I take this damn exam, whichever the result will be. 

I should consider that changes in life don’t occur in a few days: they take time and efforts, and failures as well. 

Okay, I complaint enough. I’m sorry if you expected this blog to be about positivity and productivity. It was meant to be so, but instead it seems to be more about the downsides, the mess, the anxieties and insecurities, at least for the moment. I hope to provide you with happier contents very soon.

I think there are only few positive things that made me proud in this month:

I have started this blog

I have (officially) started writing a fanfiction together with a friend. I haven’t been writing for too much time because I lacked inspiration and motivation, but now I feel I’m enjoying it again, so probably I will not abandon this project.

When I wrote up a detailed guide on how to study for exams, I promised to come up with a similar post for math-heavy subjects. Here it is!

Some things to keep in mind

Don’t take everything here as #Gospel Truth, especially since this is general advice for how to approach math-heavy subjects. At most, these are suggestions. Compare my framework to yours, and see how you can stitch mine up to improve yours.

For specific online math resources, check this masterpost by @highlightcrs out!

Your key takeaway should be that math is muscle memory. Keep grinding through practice problems until you gain an instinct for the lesson. That’s your goal!

manganimefan replied to your photoset “I’m nearing the end of high school, and I thought it’d be useful to...”

Thank you so much. My exam time will start next week so I hope I can use these.

I’m glad you found them useful :>> Good luck on your exams!
