Today’s post is from Rodney Alexander, an undergraduate accounting student who has a 4.0 GPA which is OUTSTANDING and want to know how my e-book “Get The Best Grades With The Least Amount Of Effort” can help him have a life beyond the endless hours of study… Here are my suggestions:

_______________________________________________

Hello Dr. Dussault,

I am a junior in the undergraduate accounting program at my university.  I am planning to attend the graduate program to earn my MSA when I finish undergraduate next year.  I currently have a 4.0 GPA but spend a lot of my time studying and have trouble squeezing  social life, girlfriend, and work into my schedule.  In what ways will your product add value to my academic and social life?

Thank you,
Rodney Alexander

Study Tip #1: Learn To Speed Read

I chose the title of my book specifically to address this issue – it’s not about getting the best grades, it’s all about doing it WITH LESS EFFORT.

The first tip is to learn to Speed Read. If you can read 2, 3 or 4 times faster than you do now, you are going to gain FREE TIME to go out and have fun with your girlfriend or boyfriend. When I was studying for my Ph.D. – and this is all on my product information page…

I was speed reading 6 times FASTER than my colleagues, that meant that if I read for 3 hours on Friday night, my colleagues were spending 18 hours – that’s all day Saturday and all day Sunday reading the SAME MATERIAL.

Rodney, if you are NOT speed reading, you need to get my e-book PLUS get my Speed Reading Video Program.

Study Tip #2: Learn To Speed Learn

In my book I explain this and then supplement it with the FREE BONUS Speed Learning Video that is INCLUDED with my e-book. If you are getting As or High Distinctions, you know how to learn, you just need to do it FASTER.

Some people need to learn HOW TO LEARN, but if you’re getting TOP grades now, you just need BE QUICKER, more efficient.

In my e-book I explain how you currently do this and how you can SYSTEMISE what you do step-by-step to do it better and FASTER. Within 2-3 weeks, you will be able to get the SAME RESULT with a 5 to 10 hour reduction in TIME SPENT if you are an undergraduate student in Accounting.

Study Tip #3: Learn How YOU Learn

Rodney, I don’t know what your learning style is, but whatever it is – there are 3 or 4 things you MUST do to improve HOW you study to get better results FASTER. In my e-book, I show YOU how to find out WHICH STYLE YOU have and what to do to get better results, faster.

It’s NOT ‘one size fits all’ solution.

Every single person has their own style and patterns that THEY need to get the BEST RESULTS. The trick is to find YOUR SECRET COMBINATION so you can unlock the genius that’s within you.

Study Tip #4: How To Understand And Remember More

Most students waste 25 to as much as 50% of their study time memorising stuff for exams. That is ludicrous! In my e-book I teach you the SYSTEM to make sure you are never caught cramming at the last minute trying to learn and remember stuff.

This works in ALL SUBJECTS AT ALL LEVELS. I should know – I have degrees in Pure and Applied Science, Engineering, Business, Psychology, Law, Corporate Governance and Taxation.

The strategies are simple and easy – but they need practice.

Rodney, with a 4.0 GPA, you don’t need better grades, you need to STOP WASTING TIME and get the SAME GRADES with a lot less effort!

My e-book and video programs GUARANTEE you’ll be able to spend more time with your girlfriend and your firends within 8 weeks – or ClickBank will refund you 100%.

But honestly Rodney – think about it this way – you’re getting straight As. I have products that GUARANTEE RESULTS – why not give it a try?

Hundreds of students with WORSE GRADES than you are now getting the SAME GRADES as yours with less effort… Why not join them today/tonight?

I would love to hear you become one of my success stories – I can almost read it now…

“Dear Dr. Dussault,

I wrote to you 6 months ago. Struggling to reduce my study time. I was apprehensive, but decided with your blog post response it was worth a shot. WOW! What a difference your book and videos made! I can now read 3 times faster than I used to, I’ve retained my 4.0 GPA and study about 10 hours less a week – going out with my girlfriend every weekend (Psst! she is also using your strategies and went from a 3.2 to 3.8 GPA!) I, no make that WE, can’t thank you enough.

I wish I had learned these strategies at the BEGINNING of my Accounting degree! Now that I have this skill – I might decide to do a double-major for my Master’s Degree – I’ll keep you posted!

Sincerely Yours,

Rodney.”

Omar sent in this question: What can I do every day to really master speed reading?

Speed Reading Tip

This is quite simple – put aside 20 to 30 minutes EVERY DAY and practice the strategy in my Speed Reading Video Program – Read as FAST as you can, FASTER than you can comprehend. The point of doing this is NOT to READ but to practice the SKILL OF SPEED READING.

This is the #1 reason most people never end up doing more than just reading quickly – SPEED READING is a skill that requires that you breakthrough your limiting beliefs and sub-vocalisation which means you have to stop speaking the words in your head.

Not sure you can do it? I’ll prove to you that you can do it right now.

Today’s post is simple, but something that can IMMEDIATELY reduce your tendency to procrastinate therefore reducing the stress and pressure you feel about studying or NOT studying when you know you should be. We all procrastinate, but straight A students do it less and therefore get better grades, yes with less effort.

I explain the underlying strategies this post is based on in my book “Get The Best Grades With The Least Amount Of Effort“. If you haven’t yet purchased it, you really should. The title says it all and it’s a real bargain.

A Tip To Overcome Procrastination

Overcoming procrastination requires that you KNOW WHY you’re procrastinating. One of the top reasons is that you MAGNIFY a problem or TO DO item on your list automatically, without knowing it. You make it bigger than it actually is.

I’ll prove it to you.

• Make a list of 10 things you need to do this/next week for school.
• Make a SECOND list of 10 things you DID last week studying.

Compare the two lists. I guarantee you that your TO DO list for this/next week looks like MORE, HARDER, LONGER TO DO than your previous week’s list even though it is similar.

Am I right?

Just like a side rear view mirror on a car, your problems and to do list items appear bigger than they really are.

How do you get around this?

Simple.

Chunk down your to dos into EASY, DIGESTIBLE PIECES… You know the joke “How do you eat an elephant? … One bite at a time”. I explain this in more detail in my book, but for right now, make a list like the one below and see how it feels to chunk it down.

• Study for Physics, can be broken down to
  • Rearrange my lab reports, class notes and other documents so they are all in one place
  • Read Chapters 16, 17 and 18
  • Highlight the chapters or extract the key points
  • Research last week’s lab subject to better understand it for the exam
  • Review last year’s midterm exam question on this content so I don’t pile it up before the midterm
  • Re-write my notes and or add to my MindMap
  • Keep my physical desktop clean with ONLY what I am studying
  • Remove unnecessary trinkets and paperweights on my desk
  • Straighten out my books so the bookshelf looks neat
  • Dust, clean or wash my desk/table
    • [Note: Having a clutter-free study space is VERY IMPORTANT! Plan to clean and keep it clean. Want some useful tips, go to www.HomeDeclutterAndFun.com!]

You get the picture. The thing is UNLESS you deal with this magnification problem, you’ll keep hesitating and procrastinating about things you really to study. You can’t get top grades unless you do what needs to be done. By making things look SMALLER, EASIER, QUICKER to do, you’ll get MORE done, yes, with LESS effort, but more importantly you’ll get more confidence and your stress levels will go down – WAY DOWN.

Just remember you are the one HOLDING the magnifying glass!

Today’s post is about a shocking statistic I just read in The Economist Magazine, that says that the proportion of 17 year-olds in the US who don’t read anything they don’t have to has DOUBLED between 1984 and 2004! It gets worse… HALF of adults admit not reading even one book, novel, short story, poem or play in the last 12 months.

That is absolutely shocking.

I can’t say this enough – go and check out my speed reading video program right now. It GUARANTEES that you will at least double your reading speed in less than 1 hour so that you can not only START reading more, but by reading MORE quickly, you’ll enjoy it MORE.

I have nothing else to say other than pick up a book and READ!

If you’re not reading as much as you know you should, get my Speed Reading Video program and give it a try for 8 weeks at my risk. That’s how convinced I am it will work for you.

I say this because I want you to have the GIFT of SPEED READING because it will change your life as you beging to explore and discover new thoughts, ideas and possibilities!

Today’s question of the day is from Parry Yap who asked if the BONUS you get with “Get The Best Grades With The Least Amount Of Effort” is VHS, PAL or DVD format…

It’s none of those – it’s streamed directly to your computer. No disks, no tapes required!

Cramming – Don’t Do It!

Time can really get to you when you are trying to study. Many people wait until the last minute and they end up trying to cram all the information in within a few hours.

So, this brings up an important issue – DOES CRAMMING ACTUALLY WORK?

When people are preparing for a test or exam, often cramming will turn into a habit that is overused. Many students resort to cramming for a variety of reasons self-justifying our behaviour with the lie that we have busy schedule… Am I right?

In many cases, cramming can be RISKY, since it ends up CAUSING STRESS FOR NO GOOD REASON!

As such, you end up making your brain work even harder in a shorter period of time, than it would if you were doing routine study. If you cram on a frequent and regular basis, it can actually become a HEALTH RISK.

One of my engineering school classmates had to drop out because of study-related, stress-induced health problems thinking he could take some time off and come back – that didn’t happen. Once out of school, he ended up ‘taking it easy’ with a less ambitious crowd and well, the rest is history. Not only did he not get back to Engineering, he never stepped back into a university classroom.

When possible, you should definitely use other methods of studying – other than cramming.

Not sure where to find great ideas? Consider reading my revolutionary learning e-book “Get Better Grades with the Least Amount of Effort.” It offers a lot of helpful knowledge, proven study tips, techniques and strategies that can help you study more effectively and get better grades.

SO DOES CRAMMING EVER WORK?

When you are healthy, well rested and don’t have a lot of “other stresses” in your life, the brain may deal quite well with a bit of cramming that occurs in the last minutes or hours of study before an important exam or quiz.

However, in most cases, if it works at all, you usually only end up with GRADES THAT ARE AVERAGE, instead of the BEST GRADES you could achieve if you studied more effectively.

One of the main problems with cramming is that you never get a great grasp of all the information and the relationship groups of information may have with each other – those inter-relationships are usually what teachers put in the exam!

Cramming can also lead to CONFUSION. Sometimes it can make information you already know even more confusing. You’ll also find that it’s hard to put the facts in your long-term memory as you are probably dealing with FATIGUE and FRUSTRATION as well.

If you don’t want to put your mind through all this, then make sure you avoid cramming for your exams and is you DO cram, you use my strategies to make the best of it!

It doesn’t matter whether you are studying in high school, college or business. If you are looking for ways to study more effectively it’s well worth checking out my ebook “Get Better Grades with the Least Amount of Effort.”

Onward and upward!
Marc

P.S. If you have any personal experiences or feedback on cramming, post it here on the blog as a comment!

My results and those of my ‘students’ speak for themselves. The stuff I write about in my study book works – if your kids are using them all, then they should be getting TOP GRADES already and don’t need a book on how to get the best grades with the least amount of effort.

If they are NOT getting top grades, well they are either not that bright or not leveraging the strategies properly.

I trust it’s not leveraging the strategies.

90% of students are smart enough, but just don’t have good study strategies.

In fact the BEST results are from students who are not that bright BUT are open-minded to try anything to get better results. Their desperation opens their minds to the possibilities whereas the brighter ones just think they know it all.

I don’t know your kids, but I have a suggestion – First, buy the book. It comes with an 8-week 100% Money-Back Guarantee from ClickBank so there is NO RISK.

Then give the book to all of your kids WITH YOUR ENDORSEMENT AND POSITIVE ENCOURAGEMENT. Have them come back with their feedback ONCE THEY’VE TRIED A FEW OF THE STRATEGIES…

Let that be the test – the ultimate test. Without YOUR BIAS.

Your screening and interpretation of the content isn’t relevant – YOU HAVE A LOT MORE KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTAND THAN THEY DO. What you think they need is not what they need. They are the only ones who can judge whether or not this can and does help them.

I have taught these strategies to HUNDREDS of students and I can say without any doubt that the PARENTS of those kids would have probably thought the same thing you’re thinking this is straight forward stuff – but it was about the KIDS’ perceptions, needs and results – NOT the parent’s interpretation.

If you play a sport at a competitive level, something as mundane as ‘watch or keep your eye on the ball’ seems simplistic. In squash for example, if I see that you are NOT watching the ball, there is no chance of you winning a point against me. I will exploit it EFFORTLESSLY. It is a KEY skill that every beginner needs to learn. The sooner, the better. But for an experienced player, it’s a ‘given’…

That being said, I published my eBook to get these strategies to as many students as possible – I believe in higher education and I also believe that too many people make it too hard for the average student to get better grades… These strategies work – if and only if the STUDENT has an open mind and believes they work and that he/she can make them work.

If you think they work, they work, If you don’t think they work, they don’t.

Either way, you’re right.

Go on and give them the gift of better grades right now – there is NO RISK and only upside – their grades will only improve and they will spend LESS TIME studying, worrying and getting stressed about exams.

Onward and upward!
Marc

P.S.

If you’re wondering if this book is applicable to younger kids – the answer is simple. If they can read, they can understand these strategies. In fact the younger students are MORE open to this mindset than the older kids. The older they get, the more entrenched in their beliefs they become.

Which is why MOST high school and Univeristy students don’t learn how to study properly because they THINK they know how and never research it. That’s why when you do use these strategies, you’ll get better grades than your classmates!

When we first begin school, our parents and our teachers tell us that we should set aside a specific amount of time to study each day. Don’t make this mistake!

Many people continue to study by giving themselves an allocated time per day or per week to study a certain subject, all because they don’t know how to study any differently.

If you study with this “time” objective in mind – work will expland to fill the available time. If you give yourself two hours to read a chapter, guess what – that’s how long it will take.

If you are after results (and let’s face it we all are) change your approach to study by learning by objectives, not by setting yourself a timeframe.

This doesn’t mean that you should cut back on the amount of time you spend studying, it just means that you will be more focused on the outcome of your study rather than the time allocated to do it.

It sounds logical right? Most of my study tips are!

This study shortcut (found in Chapter 7 “Studying shortcuts guaranteed to work wonders”) and other great study tips, techniques and strategies can be found in my e-book Getter Better Grades with the Least Amount of Effort.

These will help you study more effectively and provide you with the short cuts to ensure you get better grades with the least amount of effort every time!

Onward and upward!

What can I say, what a year it has been… riding the wildest roller coaster we’ve ever seen!

This is a time for reflection, introspection and yes a little bit of self analysis.

I highly recommend you write it in your journal so you have your key distinctions, insights and ideas for years to come. Of course you know to be creative, outrageous and ‘colour outside the lines’!!!

Once you’ve sat on the proverbial couch and reflected on the past, it’s then time to look to the future that awaits you… 2009.

2009 is the opportunity of a lifetime with chaos reigning everywhere, creating boundless opportunities out of thin air for all of us to leverage – exponentially. In big bites or tiny morsels, depending on your appetite for growth and expansion.

2009 is YOUR year, when all the investments of the past come together, as a ‘mind meld’ that combines your learnings to give you breakthrough after breakthrough just when you need one.

2009 is THE year when you start to TAKE ACTION, in both big and small doses because you know it’s time for you to move forward and put the past behind you once and for all. NOT because you don’t like your life, but because you know you deserve more – a lot more.

2009 is the turning point you’ll remember for a lifetime, when ‘things changed’ for you. Like turning the pages of a book, you start to write the NEW CHAPTER of your NEW LIFE, as you want to live it. You know this is now possible because you know what you know and that’s enough to get started. You also know that there is stuff you don’t know you know, but since you know it, you’ll soon discover you know you know it and voila! you’ll have a breakthrough to take you to the next level of performance, awareness and maybe even ‘sense of being’.

2009 is your ultimate performance, just as though you were in a play, on stage. It’s when you become the person you’ve always known you could be. You step onto the stage on January 1st and COMMAND THE STAGE with your PRESENCE, AURA and CONFIDENCE. You transfix the audience who are your friends, family and colleagues to utter silence and amazement that you have ‘found yourself’ and are ‘being yourself’. The performance starts on January 1, 2009 and lasts a lifetime. YOUR LIFETIME.

2009 is when the calendar switches over and in an instant puts the past behind you. Once and for all, forever. Never to be lived again. A distant memory. A recollection to help guide you in the future whilst remembering only the good and priceless lessons that needed to be learnt to bring you to this point in time. The point in time that is…

2009. Step into it…

Onward and upward!

Today’s post is from Marian, a mature student going back to you to reinvigorate her career…

I went back to school as a mature student TWICE – the first time to complete my MBA and Ph.D., then +/- 10 years later for my Law Degree. Going BACK to school has its challenges – competing with younger students is one of them!

Hi Dr. Marc,
You are very Welcome!

I’m not a young person or middle age, in fact I’m a senior citizen returning
to college to begin a new career. My reason for taking this course is that
I’m not savvy with the different learning techniques of today and I really
need help studying. It’s a real challenge for me beginning a new career, and
learning computer technology. I am going to review your book and hopefully
retain what I read.

Thank you.

Marian

I am including another testimonial from Andrés who lives in beautiful Costa Rica because I think he adds a very personal perspective to the process of Getting Better Grades With The Least Amount Of Effort that will inspire and motivate you.

My grades have gone up and are still going up with very little extra effort. The thing is that I caught it right on the edge and believed I was doing the right thing from the beginning. I have no doubt that doing what I did at the very end of the semester could help me if I apply it at the beginning of the semester. It’s exactly what you say in your book just that you have to practice like you had the test that same week.. for a couple of weeks and don’t stress by trying to do it all at once.

Once you have a system you can use it in the exam and since you have practiced many times  you can check with your teacher to remove any mistakes before the exam. That’s where I lost  points in my exam, that I could have prevented.

From extremely low marks on my university test grades I have gotten back on track with some incredible success. Why is it that once you actually think that you are doing something productive and it is extremely beneficial it ends up being not so great after all?

It’s hard to get out of old habits and I will still be giving it all my effort. This has been a life-changing experience that takes me to a new breath of life above my own frustration. There are unlimited possibilities but limited time to find them. I believe it is not until you’re put to test that a door opens for you. The answer is that you live within your world of thoughts and experiences. Nobody perceives it like you do or thinks what you think.

If you’re purchased my Speed Reading Video Program, you’re on your way to doubling your reading speed. Just like driving a car for the first time – you don’t want to go TOO FAST TOO QUICKLY.

G’day Marc,
I am practicing but I don’t seem to be enjoying the book as much. I am reading RICHARD BRANSON’S new book. Am I reading too fast? I watched 2 videos is there another one? I have a feeling I’m missing something thanks mate.

The first problem you have that holds you back from reading fast is the movement of your eyes. Once you get your eyes coordinated, the next obstacle is your brain’s ability to keep up with the words and thinking at a FASTER pace.

Like anything else, it’s a skill you DEVELOP over time. If you’re focused on ‘enjoyment’ your focus is in the wrong place – focus on PROGRESS and the enjoyment will return. It will return because it will become intuitive, natural and easy.

There is nothing missing – all you need to do is TRUST the PROCESS and let it ‘happen’ for you.

The GREAT NEWS is that you’re actually doing it and you will start to experience more and more ease as you continue…

Don’t expect miracles, but do expect breakthroughs!

Onward and upward!
Marc

If you’re having any issues or concerns, let me know and I’ll address them with you 1:1 or via this public forum.

If you want to test you reading speed to prove to yourself you CAN read much faster, then click below.

Speed read at 600 words per minute.

Speed read at 1,000 words per minute.

This is exactly what is going to happen once you’ve mastered this skill – the words will ‘fly off the page’ into your mind effortlessly – like magic. If you can do it off the screen, it means YOU ARE CAPABLE – you just need to COORDINATE your eyes to get them OFF THE PAGE!!!

Today’s post is about thinking about studying a little more generously – teach someone else to get better grades. As you teach them, you’ll learn what you KNOW even more and you’ll discover what you don’t yet know when they ask you questions.

That will help you fill-in-the-blanks more quickly…

Of course if your new ‘students’ ask you a question you don’t have an answer to, you can always post it on the blog as a comment and I will answer it for you!

Today’s post is a response to a comment from Virginia who purchased my Speed Reading Video Program that guarantees you’ll DOUBLE your reading speed within one hour.

She said it would help if I gave her additional distinctions to help her get to the 1,800 words per minute that completely changed my academic career.

Just so we understand each other – I completed my MBA, Ph.D. and Post-Graduate Law Degrees WHILE working or growing my businesses FULL TIME… That’s the point – you can have it all when you have the right study techniques whether you’re in high school, college or university.

Speed Reading is all about getting your eyes to read faster – if you want to test how quickly you can read RIGHT NOW, watch the YouTube video below to read at 600 Words per Minute Right Now.

SPEED READ 600 WORDS PER MINUTE RIGHT NOW

Once you’ve done that, give it a go at 1,000 words per minute…

SPEED READ 1,000 WORDS PER MINUTE RIGHT NOW

This proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that you CAN SPEED READ.

The $1 million question is how do you do that with your textbooks?!?!

Of course you need to buy my speed reading course, but there are a few distinctions I want to share with you that will help you once you’ve bought it.

• You need to practice the technique EVERY TIME you’re alone so that it becomes intuitive and AUTOMATIC. Like any sport, you can’t MASTER a technique without practice.
• I explain in the video program why you don’t want to do this in public or in front of anyone UNTIL you MASTER it, then you can show off all you want
• Within 3 to 10 hours of actually doing the technique, you WILL have or get close to your breakthrough – you’ll sense the excitement and you’ll KNOW the feeling – KEEP going until you CRASH RIGHT THROUGH THE BARRIER!!!

I can remember when I was doing my coursework for my Ph.D. Program – I was taking a FULL-TIME course load of 4 seminars while my classmates were taking 2. At the end of the semester, everyone was complaining about the reading load – we had to read the equivalent of 3 full textbooks…

The professors asked each student how much time they spent READING for the course and the average Ph.D. student was reading an incredible 18 hours/week for this one seminar. Plus the term papers and seminar sessions…

When I was asked, I couldn’t reveal I was speed reading – otherwise I would have had to teach everyone and that was a burden I didn’t want so I said “There wasn’t more reading in THIS course than in my other courses” and left it at that.

No one ever knew I was speed reading.

Only my professors knew I was taking DOUBLE the COURSE LOAD.

One of the tricks I used to read faster, because at 1,800 words per minute, the biggest time waster is turning pages… is that I would get 2 pages photocopied per 8.5×11″ or A4 sheet and copied back-to-back so that once placed in a binder, I was able to read 4 pages every time I turned the page once.

That alone helped me go from speed reading 1,200 to 1,800 words per minute.

Before you get to that point, you need to buy my Speed Reading Video Program and practice.

To motivate you, I’ll tell you a TRUE STORY…

One night, when I was studying for my Ph.D., I read from 7 to 10 PM,
a total of 3 hours. At the time, I was reading 1,800 words a minute.

The average person reads 300 words per minute. That means I was 6
times FASTER than my classmates.

It also means that they had to spend 18 hours, that’s all day
Saturday and all day Sunday reading exactly what I read on Friday
evening…

Which do YOU think is easier?

But here’s the real kicker – SPEED READING means you have to FOCUS
and CONCENTRATE which means you understand, comprehend and REMEMBER
more…

That meant that the time I needed to study/review was also a fraction
of the time my classmates needed.

That meant I was able to complete my Ph.D. Coursework as a part-time
student with a FULL TIME COURSE load in less than 18 months.

Several years later, I was able to complete a post-graduate Law
Degree in 8 months without any of my co-workers knowing I had a
FULL TIME COURSE LOAD even though I was registered as a part-time
student.

I graduated with Distinction or High Distinctions in all my courses.

The #1 reason is that I can speed read.

Now that you’re motivated, go and buy my Speed Reading Video Program – it’s only $47 and guaranteed to DOUBLE your reading speed within one hour.
