difficult questions effortlessly while other students may read a page four times and still not understand or remember what they just read? The reason is that the former have somehow learnt or instinctively used the right strategies to access a greater portion of their brain power whereas the others have not. They have learnt the secret of ‘learning how to learn’.
I believe that success leaves behind clues. If you can learn and duplicate the learning strategies of super students, you will be able to produce the same results! You too will be able to memorise easily and apply what you know to difficult problem questions that are set.
IF IT IS POSSIBLE FOR OTHERS,
IT’S POSSIBLE FOR ME. IT IS ONLY
A QUESTION OF STRATEGIES!
Let me ask you a question. When do you start studying for your end of the year examination? Here’s another question. How do you study for it? How many steps do you go through?
I have posed this question to thousands of students and you know what? I get thousands of different answers! Isn’t that interesting? No wonder different students produce different results. Different strategies, different results!
Ninety percent of students will answer that they start studying between one and three months before the final examination. The number of steps they take varies between one and five! Here’s what I have found out!
Some students study with only …
a. Two steps. They read through their notes and textbooks (step 1) and go for the examination (step 2). These students are the ones who are the borderline cases. They either just fail or scrape through.
