The secret behind strategic study
This is your guide to studying efficiently and studying smart to get maximum results.
First things first…
Welcome to the Simple Honours Study for Success Training Course and welcome to the start of your journey to maximise your grades in tests and exams. This is your guide to studying efficiently and studying smart to get maximum results.
Have you ever walked away from completing a test or exam and thought to yourself… I could have done better? Well, you’re not alone. Often students will have a desire to succeed but they’re held back by negative views of what study looks like. The reality is that successful study is actually pretty straightforward and not nearly as daunting as you might think.
At Simple Honours, we’ve spent over 10 years learning, testing and trialling study behaviours to determine the best and most efficient way to study and prepare for tests and exams. This research led us to some really interesting conclusions. We found that students who were the most successful in their exams did so by achieving just three core things. Not only did these core behaviours lead to great outcomes, but they also made the studying process pretty simple to navigate. Because their study framework was simple, these students didn’t shy away from it, which in turn reinforced better study habits. It became a “success spiral”!!!
Below you’ll find the three core study behaviours which our research shows lead to the best results:
The most successful students are able to…
Study using the right techniques. This includes having a clear study framework which is based on developing a detailed understanding of the exam’s content; remembering what you study through proven techniques; and learning where you’re vulnerable to making mistakes.
Manage their time effectively. Time management includes elements such as “knowing how to start your study”, “breaking through self imposed barriers”, “strategic study”, and “managing multiple exams”.
Manage pressure in the exam. Unfortunately, just knowing how to study effectively is not enough, you must also know how to sit an exam. This includes “managing time in the exam”, “learning the art of multiple choice questions”, “navigating tricky questions”, “reviewing your answers”, plus others.
The Simple Honours Study for Success Training Course is an easy to use video series covering all three of these successful study behaviours, ensuring you’ve got the skills and techniques needed to ace your exams. The course is designed around three Chapters. Each Chapter has been broken into sections to make it easier to navigate and refer back to key parts as you complete your study.
-
Unlock one of the keys to getting ahead of other students. This section highlights the study behaviour that many students lack and covers the necessary attributes required to succeed.
-
A fundamental part of successful study is learning how to identify the content of an exam and the “important stuff” to study (Goal #1). This section steps through how to achieve this. You will then have the skills to build a core study framework ensuring your study is focused and efficient.
-
Now you have a good study framework, this section sets out the key components required to help you excel in recalling and articulating clear and accurate answers (Goal #2).
-
We’re all vulnerable to making mistakes… and in high pressure tests or exams mistakes inevitably creep in. This section teaches you how to identify and address your vulnerabilities (Goal #3), increasing your accuracy when it counts.
-
Don’t know where to start? This section teaches you the best way to start your study, setting you up for success.
-
Surprisingly, some students limit their success by imposing a unconscious barrier to high marks. This section ensures you break through any self imposed barrier or “grade ceiling” to ensure great marks are possible.
-
Building on the three goals you have mastered from Chapter one, this section springboards your study capabilities by adopting a unique strategic plan.
-
Many students will have multiple exams grouped over the course of a week or so. The planning and scheduling techniques discussed in this section will ensure you can successfully juggle multiple exams and organise your time to perfection.
-
Leading up to the exam can be stressful, but this is no time to lose your cool. This section discusses the key steps and considerations required in the final stages of your exam preparation.
-
Managing time in an exam.
How to start an exam.
Multiple choice questions.
-
Managing tricky questions.
Don’t waste time.
Keep the marker in mind.
Reviewing your answers.
This Study for Success training course is 10 years in the making. After meeting with and learning from top successful students, we’ve trailed many study tips and techniques and compiled this training course based on the best study skills and learning behaviours that have been proven to maximise results and improve exam performance.
The techniques covered in this training course are all based on real life experience and have been proven to help many students develop good study habits and improve their performance in tests and exams. The presenter of the Study for Success training course went from failing their first year of university to achieving a first class honours degree in mechanical engineering and a master’s degree in engineering management…. all by applying the skills and techniques expressed in this course.
You don’t need to be naturally gifted, an avid reader or a raging introvert to be good at studying, you just need a clear strategy, the right attitude and practical skills.
