What's the major trick to ace exams without studying?

Wow, it's amazing how everyone on this forum seems to be some sort of scholastic genius who never has to study and just remembers everything they hear in class. Could it be that everyone here has NASA level intelligence? Or are some just lying or exaggerating? -"I never study" = "I only study 40 minutes a day before a test" perhaps?

i dont think having a good memory for something that interests
you warrants the title 'scholastic genius' be it genuine or sarcastic.

And quite honestly, I'd MUCH rather take hard courses that are actually challenging. Classes are so incredibly boring for me. Most people would rather take easy classes, I'd rather take hard ones 😬

Why?

I never study...I just pay attention during class and I end up getting 90's. Or I just cheat.

Same here

Because it's a waste of time to sit in boring classes. I'd rather be challenged by something for a change.

The only trick is to....stay awake in class. And pay attention. When I stay awake I pass and when I don't I fail. I dont study for shit.

All my classes are easy and I'm always bored. If I took challenging courses I doubt it'll change, but some people like challenges so I won't thwart with da fact 🙂

I like Heidegger's work. I wrote a thesis on The Origin of the Work of Art.

Actually I read an almost decent article of him aboot Philosophy, but to read his nexistencephilosophy is crazy, he uses the most bullshot sentences to say the easiest things......I guess he's alright but, man that guy used the German Language in a weird way........

His work is very good, but I agree, it's amazingly convoluted. It's definitely worth persevering with though.

Well I am not sure if his woks are actually worth the effort (at least I need to read his stuff 5 times and even then one page alone only contains something like "We only know of death because we experience other people dying" ..... thanks very much Marty ...who gives me back the last 2 hours of my life?)

Well he might be not that onion like in his other works, I personally only read parts of Being and Time.....and said article , although I doubt he actually wrote it since it was understandable.....
