Description

You are probably asking yourself, "Why do I need this book?" Well, maybe you don't. Consider the following questions and find out. 1. Do you have the feeling that you are a lot smarter than your efforts and grades indicate? 2. If you were given a comprehensive test today on material that you learned last semester, would you get a lower grade than you received originally? 3. Do you succeed in getting A's or B's but find you have to work very hard for them? 4. Do you spend hours studying and then perform poorly on tests? 5. When reading a textbook, do you reread the material often because you find it hard to remember? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, there is a very good possibility that this book will make a difference for you. Students who have used the YOU ARE SMARTER THAN YOU THINK learning system tell us that the following benefits have occurred for them: * Their grades improve * They spend less time studying - up to one third less time * They remember what they have learned longer * They experience less academic stress * They feel better about themselves HOW DOES THIS SYSTEM WORK? In the book, you are given two self- evaluations that help you discover how your brain works best. Then step by step you are shown what you need to do during lectures, textbook reading, test studying and test taking to maximize your learning and performance. Everyone's brain is different and this book will show you how to use your brain in the most effective way. What you learn will go into long-term memory where you can use it, not just spit it back. The research behind this book is based on work done by Dr. Howard Gardner of Harvard and commonly known facts about language processing from speech and language research. Learning by most today is pure guess work. Our research has shown that 95% of all college students don't have a clue about how they should study for maximum results. This book is for all high school and college students. It wil
