Okay, since I was a kid I couldnt really learn stuff by heart. I just hate it. I can't sit still. Thoughts travel around in my mind, I just can't focus and learn my stuff.The only subjects I'm super good at are Maths and foreign languages.
When i have to study Math-like subjects, it's okay cause I have to do calculations and thinking and you have to solve a problem so that's really cool. Cause once you understand something, it flows so easily. But really I hate memorizing stuff and I just cant focus!!
I also find it hard to concentrate during daylight, I mostly study during the night.
How did/do you study? Whats going on with your Mercury, Mars and 3rd house? What subjects you like?
List all aspects you think that have to do with our studying abilities.

I memorize most of the content and the rest is common sense.
Multiple choice exams are really not that difficult for me.
It's just a process of elimination. Besides I don't really have to study for exams anymore, just presentations and projects that need preparation. -Mercury in Gemini conjunct Asc
-Mercury trine Saturn

Do you find it easy to focus? Do you prefer Maths or history ?

Not all the time, Ironically I need a study buddy to focus.
My mind is too active to focus by myself unless I'm on adderall.
I use to be addicted to that **** in high school.I always found math to be useless in my everyday life.
I'd much rather study history, biology, or psych. IP: Logged |

I've got photographic memory, useless in Maths  , I hate Maths!!  I prefer History to Maths. I try to understand things first and then visualize, it's a long process  I prefer to study alone. I can't stick to routines, it just depends upon my mood. I prefer to study during the night. -Mercury in Pisces in 4th
-Mercury conjunct Sun, Venus, Saturn in Pisces
-Mercury square Pluto
-Mercury trine Moon -Capricorn in 3rd house cusp
-Uranus conjunct Neptune in Cappy in 3rd house

That's too much effort besides process of elimination and the occasional cheat sheet goes a long way with little to no effort.I am so sneaky I even surprise myself..

I get distracted and take breaks.
But I need structure for sure. I learn best if the information is well organized. I enjoy History but haven't studied it TOO much. I took a class in college. It was pretty neat.
I wouldn't say that I ENJOY math, as in learning what I don't need to but I certainly don't mind it.
In college it was an onslaught of math from start to finish! Buttloads of equations. For some reason numbers just stick with me. I've always been an advocate of learning what you want to! What you learn best and try to find a way to use it or find a balance of something you enjoy and is useful. Even though all that math and science is boring for some, I loved it. Therefore I did well. I think it's important that your heart be in it. IP: Logged |

I knowww one time my gem mom caught me in the process of creating my cheat sheets and she just laughs and was like,
That will never work...Don't underestimate me mother..
I've never been caught so that great. I have mercury square jupiter.
Maybe that adds some luck. Also cheats are a genius way of studying!!!
Your mind is processing the information while you're all intense and focused.

Your photographic memory could actually be better than mine, I have a Cappy friend who has Merc in Cap conjunct Uranus and Neptune, he says that he can see the page of the book in his mind during tests. I just try to understand then visualize and memorize, like I said, it's a long process IP: Logged |

I think mercurians cheat if they can.In calculus our dumb ass teacher use to let partners check each others quizzes.
So I made a deal with my virgo partner that we would correct each others mistakes lmfao..
We were the only two to pass that class haha. IP: Logged |

I have terrible study habits. It seems I'm stubborn about what I want to learn or what I think is "important." I'm smart, but have trouble applying it. I've also never felt "smart," quite the opposite.Mars 12H conj. ASC. Sextile my 11H stellium (in Aries) Mercury square Saturn and Neptune in Capricorn (diagnosed with ADD at 14. Adderall and Stratera helped but I eventually quit taking them.) Mercury sextile ASC (Aries / Gemini) Sun conjunct Mercury Mercury in the 11H.
