How to unlock the EDUCATED achievement in Outlast - Definitive Guide

hey guys,

since this achievement is missable I thought it would be nice to have a reminder when this one should unlock so you know that you do not have missed any collectibles for your "PULITZER" achievement.

I used this excellent guide below, which helped me getting these in chronological order without giving to much away of the game (but be careful some spoilers can't be avoided).
The link will provide you with a written description of where to find all the collectibles, as well as providing you with some videos. So choose whichever you like best.

Now I will list all notes and documents you should have gotten to get this achievement. I will also mention the place where I got the collectible that unlocked the achievement for me.

SPOILERS AHEAD!

I counted 15 documents (and notes), but I didn't get the achievement until the next document after Let it Burn. Has anyone experienced glitchy tracking with this achievement?

it is very buggy...

I play the game with the quick resume function... every time I reopened the game the documents and notes would be reset.
Unfortunately I noticed it too late so I had to start all over again...

It's really annoying, i give Up...
