Studying for Success
Success for perhaps the majority of students whether studying at home or at college, depends on attaining good results in both course work and exams. But what is the key to achieving success?
The lively and stimulating books offer a new approach to efficient study. Without minimizing the importance of good organization and hard work the researchers stress that study must and can be fun.
The books provide useful advice on writing, speed reading and taking notes. They offer numerous suggestions and techniques which enable students making maximum use of their time.
On an first reading, your chances of digesting more than 40 % are slight.
Any advanced course demands a lot of reading – be it Science, Humanities, or even practical courses, speed reading making it more enjoyable and satisfying.
Instead of reading every word as separate entity, try to read them as sets of words. Your reading the sentence “in blocks” reduces it from several to fewer separate foci. In short, you increase your speed fivefold at least.
Not only is this much faster: it is also more intelligent, as a consequence of reading concepts. Thus you will get the point of the author’s writing much more quickly. Speedier reading is within everybody’s capabilities, so is speedier understanding. Ad for any reader, let alone a serious one, that is always the chief goal.
