Introduction
I am going back to school so I can have my degree once and for all. I work about 50-60 hours a week while going to school, so I have found an awesome way to finish my homework quickly, and get 100% on it every time!
Introducing studyblue.com - I am in no way affiliated with them. I don't care if you use them or not, just wanting to share my tips.
I know a lot of people on YouTube just troll around looking for something to complain about. Some of you will call it cheating. If you think this is cheating, then please don't do it. My rant at the end goes into more details.
Also, based on the feedback I should explain that this will probably only work on University level courses. In order or this to work you need to have lots of people who use study blue and have already taken the class before you. I don't think high school or elementary students are using study blue a lot, but its very popular in college.
In college, most teachers use questions from the teacher's guides of most popular textbooks. So if you use a main textbook for a class like Biology that lots of people also use, then there is a good chance that your questions will be in there. Most questions for general education classes will be in here. As you get into more specialized classes your junior and senior year, the teachers usually develop their own books and questions and this technique is usually not as successful.

Okay, so this is literally how I'm doing every question on this test and I'm getting 100% on every quiz I'm taking so far, is by following this method.
So what I do is I just come down to the question here.
I take I.
Have an answer.
Question number nine! Yet when in the summer in Australia the season in Utah, United States is -.
What is this? I have no clue doesn't matter.
I can take this question here, copy it I, don't know if I copied it there copy it and then we're here to study blue and I'm just going to paste in the question there click tab and over here on the side, it'll output, all these answers, so here you can see it's winter winter winter.
So there's a pretty good chance that the answer is winter.
Just like that.
So that's how I'm answering literally every single one, it's questions and then I'm just going ahead and making a you know a study card for later and I'll study for the exam and then have it all get 100% on that one -.
So the next one here.
Where would you need to stand on the earth to have all the stars visible to be circumpolar blah blah I, don't even know half that is, but we come over here, come up here, oops wrong place that won't work paste it in here click tab, and here it tells says: where would you need to stand on the earth to have all the stars be circumpolar right? There, North Pole, so I'm going to go ahead and guess that's the right one.
Let's come over here to the question and I'm a klick North Pole last question a sidereal day is shorter than a solar day because you get the idea.
Let's save this, make a new one paste a sidereal day is shorter than a solar day, because Earth orbits the Sun at the same time it rotates earth must make it slightly blahblah the Earth orbits, the Sun, shifting the Sun in the sky.
Let's see what the answers are: it's right here, the Earth orbits, the Sun, shifting the Sun position in the sky.
As you can see, it's the same one, that's right here, so I'm, just gonna click that save that.
As a question, I can use these as study cards later and there we go now.
I've got my whole test done so now we can go ahead and submit it and there you can see.
I got a 20 out of 20 I'm like pretty much anyone else in the class.
So take some time.
But if it's not timed which mine isn't, then it's not a big deal? You can come back through see how the answers are correct.
I got all every single one of these through StudyBlue and oops.
I know what I could do card and, as you can see, then the cool thing too is now I actually do have study cards, so I can go and on my iPad or my iPhone I have these cards.
The flashcards and I can study for an exam if I need to, because usually in most science classes and other classes, teachers tend to use the small daily quizzes that you take tend to show back up on the exam.
So if you just study each of these again remember what they are, you can do pretty really well on the exam.
So that's how I'm going to ace astronomy, I, should also say: cuz.
I know I'm going to get flack about it.
I know.
People in the comments will probably go off, saying that this is cheating and so forth, and I really don't think it is, but obviously everyone has their own interpretation of that.
So, if you think it's cheating, then I recommend not doing it I'm going to do it because I don't think it's cheating and because, honestly, this is considered a very resourceful tactic.
I actually already I already work in my field, I'm, going to come back to school after working my field, so I actually already work as a marketing manager at a company and I do interviews almost every day, finding new employees and so forth, and when I find an employee.
That's this resourceful that's able to take something and go out and find a very effective.
A solution like this I would hire them on the spot, so I actually see it as a benefit.
One of the things about life is finding resources and using the tools that you have at your disposal or that you can find and finding a better way to do something and that's what will make you successful, so I know that's justification and a lot of people will say that and that's fine, but just kind of keep that in mind that this is simply being resourceful.
Now, if the teacher told me I'm absolutely not allow to do anything, then I could see that being cheating, but in this case the teacher in most of time when you're doing something on an online tool like canvas most the time.
The teachers understand that you're gonna be using your book and so forth and have no problem with that, and so in that case, this is just an extension of the resources that they expected me to already have so I want to put that disclaimer because I know haters are going to hate and I'm sorry, but for those of you out there that are looking for an easy solution.
Try this out because it works really really well, especially through general, ed classes, where lots of students have submitted questions already to StudyBlue, where it's really really common you'll get a lot of those some of the more obscure classes.
You may not have the option to do this, but this is a really cool tactic.
I've used this in several classes now, and the very last thing is keep in mind that in the end, I was still creating flashcards.
So again, when it comes to the actual exam, that's not going to well I, don't know how this teacher does it, but I'm assuming that it'll be in a proctored environment or an isolated environment.
What you don't have these resources.
So this is not a solution to like completely not learn anything I'm still creating flashcards, and you can see here.
I've got a flashcard for every single question and I'm going to use these flashcards to study when the exam comes, because you these most likely will show up on the exam, so I'm not getting completely out.
This is just an easy way to get through my homework and to help me kind of boost my scores here and it just kind of makes everything go a little faster as well again, I told you.
I was working full time, so for me, taking I'm, taking two science classes right now and so I'm just trying to find the most effective way to do this, while also running a company that I work more than 40 hours a week at close to 50 or 60 hours a week, full-time or people expect me have.
You know high expectations for me there so I'm finding a solution that works into my schedule, and this works really really well, but I'm, not by any means I'm still I'm still creating flashcards.
Keep that in mind, so we're still creating flashcards, I'm, still planning and using them in the future.
But I just wanted to show this technique because I think it's really effective and now look it.
You got all these awesome flashcards and when it comes to studying for the exam you can, especially if you're busy like me, study, blues, really cool, especially I've got the pro, but you can there's an iPad app.
There's an iPhone app you just.
You can literally study anywhere.
You can study at work on your lunch break any anywhere.
You get a chance if you're waiting for a haircut I've actually done study cards there on using StudyBlue, their app is really slick and you have all access to all these cards you just made, and you can do really really well by using flashcards I.
Think flashcards are a really well good way to study, and so this just kind of helps you get through some of the the weekly daily reading and stuff.
Like that, those basic questions, but obviously, if you're doing the main exam, you still need to learn the stuff so I'm, not by any mean by any reason, condoning that you just not try to learn anything.
This is simply a short-term solution.
