these are links for torrents

these contain excellent learning material

the five links after the second one are links to pages of individual uploaders

one thing good that students with a lot of As can do is make khan academy type videos for a single course they are really good at.. what they can do is take the syllabus and take the notes of their tuition teachers and make tutorial videos

all you have to do is
1. buy a Graphics Pad
2. download one free black board software and one free screen recording software
3. make videos
4. upload videos onto torrent sites

since all of you are very familiar with your course work it should be very easy for you to do so

i will be doing this myself soon enough but i have forgotten a lot of the stuff i studied all those years ago.. so i will revise and then make videos

Can you tell me a good Black board software. Which one does Khan Academy use?
And also a good Graphics Pad. How much will it cost?

graphics tablet

there are loads of graphic tablets... more 'work area' size makes it easier to work on ... do an online search and then a market search.. find out the best price for your budget then buy the graphics tablet... do not buy an expensive one until and unless you are going to do some serious graphic design art

screen recording software
wondershare
cam studio

however, do not make these videos at the expense of your grades... a simple way is to spend no more than 30 minutes a day trying to make a video... and keep the lectures short and sweet say around 15 minutes max

also give me a list of books students use these days for their subjects: O'levels and A'levels, multiple books per subject would not be an issue however, if only one book is used, then no problem only tell me multiple books if they are used often

That won't be a problem. Making these videos, is better than wasting time in other useless activities.
I can even make a website, and upload these videos.. Would that be a good option?

also give me a list of books students use these days for their subjects: O'levels and A'levels, multiple books per subject would not be an issue however, if only one book is used, then no problem only tell me multiple books if they are used often

Well, i don't know about A-Levels but for O-Levels the books are as follows:

Physics: ''Physics for O-Level'' Federal book. Marshall Education.
Chemistry: ''Chemistry for O-Level'' Federal.
Biology: ''Biology Matters'', ''Biology a course for O-Level'' (Federal)
Maths: The D-Books.
Business studies: Peter Stimpson.
Sociology: Sociology Alive by Ken Browne
Environmental Management: Book by John Pallister
World History: ''Mastering modern world history'' by Norman Lowe.
Commerce: Betsy Li.
Pakistan studies (Paper 1): History and Culture of Pakistan by Nigel Kelly.
Pakistan studies (Paper 2): Environment of Pakistan by Huma Naz Sethi.
Islamiat: Islamiat for O-Levels by Farkhanda Noor Muhammad.

You can use the Key Point books too, for Physics, Chemistry, Maths, Biology.. which give exact information and notes regarding O-Level syllabus.

well a website wouldn't be necessary because you can upload it for free on torrent sites and torrents make it more convenient for anyone to download... websites hosting might require additional money for large amounts of data

But for torrents, seeders are needed. If not, the torrents won't work.
Best way is to upload those videos to YouTube by creating a Channel.

and why would seeders not be there? ... i know people do 'hit and runs' with torrents... but with something like O-levels and A-levels material you can expect people to be there .. especially if you promote your torrent on websites like extreme papers ... yea youtube can work as well... but downloading and saving it from youtube is a hassle... especially if there are a lot of videos... many times there turn out to be errors while downlaoding.. sometimes no sound, sometimes no video, sometimes half a video... also, it is illegal to download youtube videos, not that anyone cares but still... you can try the youtbe-dl code though... but that needs python and most people will not want to go through that hassle ... additionally what would you do if your internet connection is down, downloaded videos help in that case

Can i just make videos on paint, using a mouse?
Is a Graphic tablet necessary?

try it if you want ... without a touch pad it will be difficult... or you can simply save money for a few months like 2 thousand every month and then buy a graphics tablet... i mean i saved saved 200 to 300 rupees every week for 2 years and then started a small scale business when i was 19 so i guess it is possible to save money for a graphics tab ..buy a cheap one.. and remember videos with pre-typed/illustrated material tend to be less effective because you do not see illustrations being made which make learning very effective... that is a big reason why khan academy videos are so easy to learn with... dynamic vs static .. static videos let people get distracted with ease

I made a trial lesson using Camtasia studio, and Paint.
It's really hard to draw and stuff on paint, i think a graphic tablet is necessary. :/

And what type of small-scale business did you start? I would like to know more about it, as i myself come up with a new business idea every day but i'm too lazy to start with them.

 

[teachyourself]

as a rule i do not tell anything to anyone about myself in order to avoid bias....the idea of the business was to see what it is like to run a business...the work, material procurement, the necessary documentation, the planning that goes into it.. the parts of the plan that are necessary and those that can be ignored at times... how much your original product/service idea you have to mold according to the market, etc

the key problem in pakistan for new startups is the lack of market data and the little bit of market data that there is, it is outdated ... most business in Pakistan are run in a very Saith type style... professionalism is severely lacking, there are studies on consumer behaviour in pakistan... most businesses even large scale ones just run on guessing

for example Safe-gaurd was effective but Dettol warriors could not be so... the people who made the Dettol campaign did not even take into consideration that the constant heavy marketing of captain Safegaurd might have just gotten a bit too old and dettol warriors just won't kick in enough... sort of became a blind spot for the consumer... and the reaction of several marketing BBA graduates just couldn't even understand this logic/assumption ... that is why i am against BBA programs in pakistan... not only is there a severe lack of technical expertise being taught to students they do not even teach students reality.... one exception to the rule is the guy who started Black Betty .. again he is not a super professional but he has the street smarts or so i have heard... funny thing in Pakistan is that documentation is seen as useless... no disagreements with that... but no one even wonders why and how can we make documentation work and facilitate the daily operations of any business.. because that will take real hard work and obviously software knowledge ... starting a business is fun... try it yourself the challenge of managing your daily routine will be great... here is a book to help you start

Please keep CIE further maths in the subjects you would make videos on! It lacks resources :/ and even if they are present, information is highly scattered. Especially for people who are not in Pakistan its like facing hell alone :/

yes.. for further maths .. the resources are spread out... for those countries in which further maths is avoided by A-level teachers ... those students can go to teachers who teach math for BSc math or MSc math programs... it should be very easy for them

one thing you can do with video resources is to download them and then assort them according to the Further Math syllabus you can do that with the schaum's otulines as well and the online typed lectures regarding the topics that are taught for Further Maths... because Further Maths is a collection of topics taught at the undergrad level
