Often, the subjects we dislike most are those we find hardest to understand due to a monotonous teaching method. However, these subjects should be given more importance and extra care.
Change your perspective: Recognize the subject isn’t bad. It has been taught in a style that doesn’t suit your learning style.
Use online resources: Make concepts clear and understandable through materials available in the internet in the form of video or audio.
Consult experts: Seek help from teachers or tutors to understand the concepts.
Creative study methods: Practice active note-taking by using highlighters, summarizing in your own words, and preparing flashcards to boost memory retention.
Prioritize difficult topics: Dedicate extra time to your weakest subjects, especially at the start of the day when your focus is highest.
Collaborate with peers: Join group studies to stay engaged. Discussing topics with friends makes learning social and less intimidating.
Teach to learn: Explain the concepts to others. This clarifies your own understanding through active recall.
Take Mindless breaks: Incorporate short walk or quiet time to refresh your brain and prevent burnout.
Embrace spaced repetition: Revise concepts often. Frequent, short reviews are more effective than one long cramming session.
Reward your effort: Reward yourself after focused study sessions as it may develop positive associations with the subject.
How can you make the subjects that you hate most interesting ?
By changing perspective I was actually able to score better in the subject I was weakest. Challenging ourselves in different subjects help us in discovering ourselves and the teachers behavior towards weak students can bring huge differences in how a student approaches a subject.
If understanding is simplified and it is not just learn by rote the subject will be more likeable but certain topics involve memorizing only like botanical names and classification, classification of micro organisms etc.Flowcharts might help here.
Revising subjects that you hate could be quite stressful. Making notes while you are learning can help reduce the burden while you revise it later. Changing your mindset and setting the mood to study seriously before sitting to study could help more. Ignoring and leaving your hard subjects to the last minute is foolishness and should be avoided.
This is one of the best ways to learn without feeling confused. Some subject are very hard to learn and breaking down topics along with someone’s help feels like a blessing. Consistent learning should be done to excel in these kinds of subjects or topics
Actually,the subjects we dislike are not difficult but poorly matched to our learning style.Changing the way you learn by using online resources, and adopting active study methods can make concepts clearer. Interestingly, studies show that teaching a topic to someone else greatly improves retention, turning passive learning into active understanding. By prioritizing weaker areas, learning with peers, and revising regularly, even the most disliked subjects can become more engaging and manageable.
Very practical and motivating—making difficult subjects interesting starts by changing how we engage with them, using the right resources, active learning strategies, and consistent self-care to turn understanding into confidence and curiosity.
We shouldnt rely much on online resources for content - there may be mistakes and too much of information, son its difficult to know which one is important in the aspect of exams. But online tools are good for revision and mock tests
Sometimes it’s not the subject we hate, but the way it was taught. Changing the approach, learning style, and mindset can completely transform how we connect with difficult topics.
The only way for any subject to be interesting is by studying and understanding it. Sometimes we aren’t taught it the right way, and we end up not liking the subject, but once we get familiar and start understanding it , will get easier.
Change your perspective: Recognize the subject isn’t bad. It has been taught in a style that doesn’t suit your learning style.
