From the Introduction
The sooner you begin to read, write, and study more effectively and efficiently, the more you'll learn and remember--both for school and for purposes beyond school.
Developing an attitude that is both realistic and optimistic is also vital to academic success. Some first-year college students who were very successful in high school assume that college work will be no harder for them than high school work was, and so they make no attempt to improve the ways they study. When these students receive low grades for the first time, they find that the emotional effect interferes with their concentration.
On the other hand, some adults who are returning to college or graduate school assume they will find that academic work is too hard for them. they are afraid that they have lost their academic ability, or that they can't become strong enough students. These adults need to develop more confidence that their greater experience, maturity, and motivation will help them maintain their rigorous schedule and excel in their studies.
People of all ages and academic backgrounds have improved the ways they read, write, and study. You can, too.
