”. This book was written to help students improve their study skills while reducing the time needed to study.

I was a C+ student for most of my academic career. Then one day, a Dean in a graduate department took 20 minutes to show me how to organize my study notes. For a short time, I forgot about the technique. Then one day in class, I saw a student that I knew was an honors student, using the same technique as I was shown. So I decided to try it. From first, the technique seemed to me a very easy transition and was almost too simplistic to do any good. But I wrong! My grade point average went from about a 2.5 to a 3.5 average. Instead of B’s and C’s and D’s, I was getting A’s and B’s. Suddenly, I was retaining much more information and studying about 1/3 of the time. I actually made the National Dean’s List and graduated with Honors.

Part of the technique involves reorganization of your notes. Once your notes are taken in this style, it then makes it really easy and logical to study. My notes became famous at the school and students actually bought my notes to study. I go over this in the book and how to make some extra money, while not damaging the curve that so many instructors grade on. This secret will teach you how to control a opportunity of what to do when word gets out about your notes.

I cover how improving your grades will expand your goals in life. How what once was not attainable, now is totally within reach.
