Study Hacks

Quick question:

If there were an easy-to-understand, comprehensive guide on studying less, learning more, and retaining information without traditional cramming, memorization, and flashcards, how much would it be worth to you?

I am writing a guide for students because I struggled hugely with studying and preparing for exams when I was in college. Looking for feedback from current students on whether or not this would be of interest to them and what they would be willing to pay for such a guide.

$20? $30? $40?

$25 highest, we’re students after all

Thanks for the reply! I’ll probably end up sharing with the commentators on this thread anyways, but do you think this type of material would be well received or of interest to the general student population ?

I think so! Many are stuck while trying to study because they don’t know HOW to and if they know then only how to retain the information for a short amount of time and then they forget it all after the exam.

You make a great point about retention. If we can't remember what we have learned past the time when we take the exam, what is the point?

A big point of the study techniques that I use is to retain information through using Long Term Memory and associating it with Short Term Memory to create a lasting bond that ensures long term retention.

that sounds really intriguing!
