If you want to see the ebook with the subjects that most fall in Enem for free, click on the link in the description. It's the TRI match and the incidence of mathematics in the Enem with the super strategy of how to study them. I opened the little box on Instagram and got this message.
“Su, what's so wrong with the given subject, the subject studied in the course? ” I'm not going to give you one reason, but seven, for you to be very careful with this method. And when you understand them well, you end up discovering what an effective study is.
It's a study that makes you learn faster, retain what you study and especially get it right not on today's list, but on the test. So the first point is to question the need for classes, especially on subjects that you have already seen, subjects that you are already doing well and other subjects that it would be better to just ask questions. The second reason is that the class given, the class studied, also presupposes very long lists of questions.
And then what happens? You start making the list and the beginning is useful. At the beginning you are learning, but after a while the questions are more or less similar and it ends up that the penny has already dropped.
You already understood that subject, so, of course, you don't know everything, but you already understood. And persisting in studying, persisting in making the list, will lead to what we call overlearning, which is an extra study, which happens when you continue studying or practicing something, beyond the point at which it has already been learned. That is, you got the idea, but you continued and continued and continued studying it.
And the problem is not so much that you study more, but this opportunity cost, this time that you could study something else, another subject, divide a list over several days. So I'll tell you a story. I did this a lot in early high school, so I had a list of something, you know, cinematic.
And then I wanted to end that whole list. At all costs, it doesn't matter if there were 50 questions, 60, 80 questions, I had to finish them all. So, imagine, you go to class in the morning and in the afternoon you have to make that list.
And it will only give the feeling of mission accomplished when you finish all the questions. And then you stay there struggling, struggling with the questions and also not studying the other subjects. What was discovered in overlearning is that you often study three times more, but retain the same amount.
That is, imagine that you ask 3 or 9 questions. You'll find, ah, 9 questions is better, you'll learn more. You will learn more in the short term.
So if you have a test the next day, whoever answered 9 questions will get the highest score. But a month later, the score of those who asked 3 or 9 questions is the same. That is, we need to be very careful with this business of asking many questions at once.
Because this leads to the illusion of learning, thinking that you've learned something, when it's only in short-term memory. You won't remember it a month later. And what will make you remember in the long term, and in the long term I mean, on the day of the test, is that you space this list out over several days and not do everything at once.
There's even a video about spaced practice here. And it is the most guaranteed technique and there is no doubt, no one questions that spacing is better. But despite that, we grow up in schools and courses that tell us to make a huge list at once.
And so, here I didn't even want to mention that you still get home and you're going to read the theory again, you're going to clean it up, you're going to summarize it. Because I already respect you, I already know you don't do that. So we're going to move on to the next point.
In addition to the ebook, there is a video explaining the entire strategy. There you will discover the strategy of the three groups to prioritize what increases the most and what drops the most. The link is in the description.
The third point is that material not studied is forgotten. So you have the material given, the material studied. Matter of today, matter of the week is studied.
But what about the article from three months ago, the article from six months ago, the article you saw last year? Or throughout the year, the story from the beginning of the year? What happens to her?
Then you think, oh no, there will be a review month. But you'll leave all your retention in hand for a month of pre-test review. I do not recommend.
Often what happens is that in the review you have to relearn this content again. Because it's been so long since you've seen it and not trained. And then my favorite technique for dealing with this is interspersed practice.
Which in practice will go together with spaced practice too. So, instead of leaving it to train this subject in a complicated review schedule, like the 7th, 14th, 30th, or that month before the test, you review what you've already seen every week. It's what we call the Sniper List.
So you go to any question app, there are cheap ones, there are free ones, there are very expensive ones, but you choose what you prefer. Then you go there, select for example mathematics, select the subjects you have already seen in this matter. And go there and do a half hour of questions on these subjects.
Once or twice a week, correct these issues and always come back to what you saw. And so, we might think it's a waste of time, but in fact it's an investment in memorizing these contents and getting it right at the time of the test. So, many times this Sniper List is the most important study of the week.
Because often getting what you've already seen right is more important than seeing new content. Mainly hitting these easier contents, the ones that fall the most, you know? The ones that will make the most difference at TRI.
And point 4, which is often more or less hidden and you need to, you know, be a little smarter to see that, is the issue of emphasis. So, in the given subject, subject studied, you sometimes do not notice how the emphases are divided between subjects. And sometimes there are, for example, the same number of classes in history as Biology, and Biology is much more complex and full of details and would need more work to learn.
Or Mathematics and Physics, it's the same number of classes. Imagine, Mathematics, that for ENEM it is the most important subject, like this, along with writing, with the same number of hours as Physics. So it's a hidden point, like, because people don't realize that there are much more important subjects, there are subjects that will put you in college, because it has the same emphasis as others.
You go to class, and then there are a few Mathematics classes, everything goes by in a hurry, and then you don't understand it right, then you move on to the next subject, everything is tangled up, you don't understand anything, but the History class you are attending. The Portuguese class, the Biology class, everything is fine, just not Math, which, like, it should be, I don't know, 50% of your study time many times. So it's a way for this method to do a lot of harm, to be very crazy in its preparation.
So, that is, the fourth point was that they didn't do it in the main stories. The fifth point is a bit of a corollary, it's a bit of a consequence, which is not prioritizing the most important issues. So think, for example, Mathematics, in this example of Mathematics.
You'll be there on the course, at school, and they're already going over a more advanced subject, they go through those subjects from the beginning very quickly, ah arithmetic, rule of three, everyone already knows, let's go quickly. And then you see the Enem test, and you see that 28 of the 45 questions are more basic subjects, so these are the subjects from the beginning. That's what you need to train the whole year, not just in the first, in the second month of the year.
So it's really crazy how crams, a lot of crams, online courses, don't put the emphasis on the most important subjects, the subjects that make your grade go up, and it often goes up dramatically. So you can get 32 questions right and get those easier ones right, and get a higher score than the person who got 38 right. Agree, that's pretty crazy?
And so, instead of criticizing the Enem and complaining, get ready for it, think about it, consider how I'm going to get the easy ones right, and focus on that. So it's much more positive than you fighting with the Enem, and fighting with I don't know who, and doing a live about it, and talking on Twitter, no, just prepare, do your part, and go there and reap the result of passing in the course and college you want. The sixth point is that in this method given material, material studied, you end up having to study for many more hours.
Because think with me first, you need to attend a bunch of classes, and after that you still have a bunch of lists, and several times you have to actually make the list, deliver the list, talk in the room where you made the list, and then your time is running out busy with that, with the subject taught in the morning and the subject studied in the afternoon, and time to do physical exercise, to rest, to chat with your friends, to make a healthy dinner, you don't have. To sleep then. So we cannot live a life that is 100% focused on the entrance exam, this is not healthy.
You know, if you live this for two weeks, that's fine, but if you live the whole year just focused on the entrance exam, just studying, you just know there with your butt on the chair, it's not good, it's not something that will make you learn more. Many times you will be so tired that you will read a paragraph, then you don't understand, then you read it again, you don't understand. And you know, if you go for a walk, go do something else and come back, you come back with different energy, so it's very necessary to have breaks, have nice breaks, good breaks , have leisure, have time with your family, have, you know, a good diet, exercising , all of this helps, it all adds up.
Even rest is an investment in your gas, in your focus, when you come to study. So it's something like that that I also find absurd, these traditional methods where you study all day, and then you have 9 hours of class a day, and I don't know how many hours to do the list, and then you have to sleep less and have to study at the weekend. Guys, what is this?
Being that the person who is there studying 6 hours a day is learning more, is having more leisure, more rest, is having life, and will pass in front of that other person who studied 15 hours a day. The seventh point is very basic, like. .
. I should say that for you to pass, you will go through three phases. So in phase 1 you see content, phase 2 you see content and start old exams, and phase 3 is just focused on old exams.
So this should be class zero, we talk about this in the Question Sniper, for example, but this is not available in the course. Nobody tells you that you have to take old tests, old non-simulated tests, old ENEM tests, old entrance exams you want, so you have to focus on old tests. Are there people who pass without doing any old test, just doing simulated?
There are, there are people who have a base of years, who have been studying for years, who do very well at school, for years. So you can't compare someone who has less time to study, who doesn't have such a good foundation, with someone who has been in the best school for ten years, studying with the best teachers, best materials and everything. So for those who have less time to study and want a more strategic study, we need the old exams, and this is not said much in prep courses.
But anyway, leaving the anger behind, it's important to take old tests, and that's not included in the material given, the material studied. In this way, the professor, the course, he has complete autonomy in deciding what you are going to study, you know? You don't choose anything, you go there and watch the class and ask the questions.
And in the review, you watch the review and ask the questions, or class questions and things like that. You don't have the autonomy to decide: no, now it's time to take old tests, correct old tests, fill in this gap here in this exercise that I don't know about, or fill in this other content, you know? It's very different, it's the opposite.
So that's kind of what I want to bring, your autonomy. You decide what you're going to study, you analyze it, look, I'm not good with this here, so let's focus on that point, not on 10,000 classes. And here comes in, for example, old exams, filling in gaps, analyzing the mistakes that many people who are like this, you know?
Second, third, fourth year of prep, that's what this person should do. Not attending class again for the umpteenth time. And that's the idea of the Issue Sniper, is to bring this strategy, you know?
So much for those who are starting to study and need to go through this path faster. So you need to see the main content faster, and, you know, faster I don't say see it in two weeks or in a month, no, but with more emphasis on what will increase the grade the most. And the same thing who already has a base.
So if you already have a base, but you're still not getting it right, creating more base might not be the answer. So the answer may be to understand what is missing from this base until you reach the level of, you know, boasting the test, hit 90%. What's missing from here?
And that's what we need to focus on, not on improving the base, you know, on seeing the issues again. No, focus on improvement. Take away this idea of being a follower of the professor, a follower of the course, you go there just to watch and you decide, you are the pilot of your preparation, you know?
You see, wow, this is what you need to do. Let's do it then. So that's the idea, I hope you enjoyed this video about problems with the traditional method, class given, class studied.
And if you want a method on how to study, there's the course, which is what I did. But today there are so many people with us in Sniper that I can no longer say that I do it, you know? So there are several monitors, monitors who also answer questions.
There's a community on Circle where you can go there, post, you know, your question, your planning and we'll talk. There are lives on Zoom, so they are true mentorships in which you turn on your camera and ask me or one of the monitors. And besides, of course, there are videos on how to study each subject, on how to plan, there are planners.
So, it's a complete package for you to assemble all that I said. So this whole strategy and having autonomy and understanding exactly what you need, you know? Not what everyone needs.
So thank you so much for watching. Continuing to chase your dreams, the world needs the skill that only you have. And we'll see you in the next video.
Goodbye!
