Study Smarter, Not Harder

Summary: A Must-Have for All Aspiring Achievers!
Review: This book was a wake-up call for me. Thanks to Kevin Paul, i managed to score straight As for my PMR(a very important exam for 15-year-olds in Malaysia). The exam was in October, but even in May, i was still underprepared. Truthfully, i lost the momentum to study, and i fooled myself by pretending that the exam was 'at the end of the year',little did i know that it was
only 5 months till October. When i bought this book, (with hope that it would motivate me), it really made me realize how important education was. The study tips and techniques that was shown in the book, gave me hope that it was still possible for me to excel in my exam. Right after i finished reading this book, i planned a study schedule for myself, and did everything that Kevin Paul advised students to do. I discovered the miracles of Mind Maps and realized how it had made studying FUN for me, as well as increasing my understanding in a particular topic. I made coloured note cards, and used colourful pens to memorize important terminologies. I also used the power of the subconscious mind by reciting affirmations to myself five times a day to increase my self-confidence and truly believing that 'I Can Do It!'
I am still practising what i have learnt from this book. Now that i enjoy studying, i don't mind sacrificing hours of my free time to learn new things because i know studying can be FUN when i study the SMART way, not the HARD way!
Thanks, Kevin Paul, you're truly a blessing to me!
