The Effective Study Skills Handbook (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781927358702)

Get Organized, Study Less and Get Higher Marks!

If you're like most students ... too many students ... you've tried to raise your grades by spending hours and hours reviewing the same information. You may be sacrificing time with family and friends to "keep your nose to the grindstone".

You may have even had your self-esteem trampled by a well-meaning teacher or adult who said you just needed to apply yourself more - implying that good grades were a matter of working harder.

If you can identify with this situation, it's all about to change. When you learn the secrets to effective studying, you'll be able to get the grades you've always know you were capable of in less time.

YES! That's right. You can get the grades you want while actually spending less time studying. You can study more efficiently, have more free time AND get higher marks!

Believe it or not, you can learn how to study. People with good study habits weren't born that way. They learned, and developed, these skills over time. But if you asked them to explain how they do it, they would struggle to explain, let alone teach, you how to do it.
