One of the first videos I made on this channel was called “Why You’re Bad at Exams, but Great at Video Games”. I talked about the generation effect and how video games use this well to teach you how they work, but how school doesn’t always do that. So in this video (which is long overdue) I’ll be doing a followup to that video and how to implement the generation effect into your studying. After this, you should be able to prepare to take down exams as well as you prepare to take down bosses!
