      Foreword

      Note to Parents and Students

      For most students, studying is a boring and tedious process that should be avoided as much as possible. Staring for hours at innumerable pages of notes trying to grasp and remember all the details is at best boring and mind-numbing. The harder one tries, the more fatigued one gets, and the less one actually remembers; the whole process thus becomes an exercise in futility.

      Students are taught early in their education that the only way to learn is simply to repeat the passage over and over again until it sinks in. This is the parrot system. It works well enough with young kids and small passages, but when it comes to more advanced education, this system just does not work. Students who apply this parrot system throughout their schooling find that only a fraction of work that they studied is remembered – and their results are mediocre in the examinations. These mediocre marks are not a true reflection on the intelligence of the student. They are only an indication of how well the student remembers the work studied. Thus students with photographic memories are considered BRILLIANT by their peers, because their marks are so high. Those students who at best only achieve mediocre marks soon become careless and despondent and eventually place limitations on their own abilities with the classic phrase I can’t!. These two words, repeated over and over become part of the student’s life-style and adversely affect their future.

      SUCCESSFUL STUDY METHODS is designed to eliminate those two damning words I can’t! from the student’s vocabulary and replace them with an alternative study program, which the student tailors to suit him / herself. When the student uses a suitable study method, studying then becomes easier, quicker, and more effective (higher marks). By using these methods, students will learn to plan their studying, to organize their personal procedures, and to create more free time for fun. Even students who regularly get good results in examinations will benefit from this program.

      Study skills is not a gift, is something that has to be learned. Learning a new skill requires both PRACTICE and PERSISTANCE. Parents and / or teachers will do well to monitor and encourage this with younger students. If you tell yourself that you will start using this book – later this week; or after this term; or whenever; means that you are reluctant to break with your old way of studying. This is understandable, because, like any bad habit, it will be uncomfortable to change from an old to a
