Yes. I think I did well in math/physics classes in college and grad school just because I found the most effective way to study, for me, was to grind out as many problems as possible. Go through the old homework, old exams, books, anywhere you can find relevant problems with solutions to check against.
- danielmarkbruce 2y agoIt's not just for you. It's the most effective way. I know several people who all crushed college etc and only later realized maybe they aren't so smart, maybe they just stumbled into the right way(by an order of magnitude) to study... hell, I'd redo problems and find depth or nuance in the same problem that I didn't see the first time.
- fiddlerwoaroof 2y agoI think a lot of people do college too young: if you can find a reasonable “real” job, a gap year or two will give you some life experience and a chance to mature a bit, which puts you in a much better place for actually learning.
- gowld 2y agoA real job is usually not learning academics, so it won't make people better at the raw learning. It might help in other, social ways.
