DESCRIPTION

Studying For Exams Made Simple is an account of the exact steps taken by a university student to get A's in exams. No big deal unless you consider that before he used these 6 steps he was failing exams. He actually ended up getting the university prize, a scholarship, a degree with honors, and a top position in a national company... all because he changed the way he studied for exams. Keep studying the same way and you'll keep getting the same results.

How Making Mistakes Can Help With Your Study...

Page 3: How To Study By Making Mistakes

One of the most effective ways of learning naturally is

by making mistakes.

Page 4: How To Study By Making Mistakes

I'm sure you've heard people say that we learn by

making mistakes...

Page 5: How To Study By Making Mistakes

How many times have you also heard people say... "don't make mistakes"? Lots of times I bet.

Page 6: How To Study By Making Mistakes

In tennis, and any sport, mistakes and correcting them... is called practice.

Page 7: How To Study By Making Mistakes

You know immediately whether you've made a

mistake in tennis when the ball goes out of court... and

you try to correct that mistake the next time.

Page 8: How To Study By Making Mistakes

This is called "learning how to play tennis".

Page 9: How To Study By Making Mistakes

In other words... learning is simply a process of making mistakes, finding out what

you don't know, and correcting.

Page 10: How To Study By Making Mistakes

By the time you get to Wimbledon you would have

made heaps of mistakes... but you'll be a very good tennis

player.

Page 11: How To Study By Making Mistakes

So... do you agree that the process of learning involves

making mistakes?

Page 12: How To Study By Making Mistakes

In the sport of studying for exams, when do we get the

opportunity to make mistakes?

Page 13: How To Study By Making Mistakes

Yeah! In the exam when it’s too late! We even get

punished for those mistakes by having marks deducted.

Page 14: How To Study By Making Mistakes

Usually, we don't even get a chance to learn from the mistakes we made in the

exam because we don't often have our exam papers

handed back to us so we can see what mistakes we made!

Page 15: How To Study By Making Mistakes

This quote by Robert Kiyosaki, well known author

and accelerated learning expert, sums it up very

nicely...

Page 16: How To Study By Making Mistakes

"Our education system teaches riding a bicycle by lecturing on the subject for fifty hours, giving a written test, and then punishing the

student for falling off".

Page 17: How To Study By Making Mistakes

In other words we’re not given the opportunity to

make mistakes... and to learn from them.

Page 18: How To Study By Making Mistakes

I decided that my study system should let me make

as many mistakes as necessary and not be

punished.

Page 19: How To Study By Making Mistakes

If we think of making mistakes as learning

experiences, then I'd have a study system, which

practices the art of learning from mistakes.

Page 20: How To Study By Making Mistakes

Mistakes tell you that you don't know something that

you need to find out.

Page 21: How To Study By Making Mistakes

If you have any doubts about how important making mistakes is in learning... you just have to watch animals.

Page 22: How To Study By Making Mistakes

You'll find lots of examples of young animals making

mistakes and learning from the experience.

Page 23: How To Study By Making Mistakes

So... instead of mistakes being punished and

suppressed, they should be encouraged.

Page 24: How To Study By Making Mistakes

Does your study system allow you to learn from

making mistakes?

Page 25: How To Study By Making Mistakes

If not... you should modify it so you can benefit from this very useful and effective

learning technique.
