I'm looking for a word that describes practical/helpful knowledge that one should have, but doesn't, — due to the knowledge being less accessible than it should be. Something along the lines of trivia, but more helpful and not, well… trivial. Another similar word was life-hack, but I was looking for something that denoted knowledge more significant or substantial than novelty.
e.g.
"Here's some [practical knowledge that you don't have] that'll make your student life easier."
Best Answer
Inside Information
Taking offset in the knowledge being 'inaccessible' or 'unknown' - I'd borrow a term from trading/business and use something like:
Inside information
"Here's some inside information that'll make your student life easier."
