Do you have the feeling that you are a lot smarter than your efforts and grades indicate? 2. If you were given a comprehensive test today on material that you learned last semester, would you get a lower grade than you received originally? 3. Do you succeed in getting A's or B's but find you have to work very hard for them? 4. Do you spend hours studying and then perform poorly on tests? 5. When reading a textbook, do you reread the material often because you find it hard to remember? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, there is a very good possibility that this book will make a difference for you. Students who have used the YOU ARE SMARTER THAN YOU THINK learning system tell us that the following benefits have occurred for them: * Their grades improve * They spend less time studying - up to one third less time * They remember what they have learned longer * They experience less academic stress * They feel better about themselves HOW DOES THIS SYSTEM WORK? In the book, you are given two self- evaluations that help you discover how your brain works best. Then step by step you are shown what you need to do during lectures, textbook reading, test studying and test taking to maximize your learning and performance. Everyone's brain is different and this book will show you how to use your brain in the most effective way. What you learn will go into long-term memory where you can use it, not just spit it back. The research behind this book is based on work done by Dr. Howard Gardner of Harvard and commonly known facts about language processing from speech and language research. Learning by most today is pure guess work. Our research has shown that 95% of all college students don't have a clue about how they should study for maximum results.

An Interview With The Author (Reality Productions Staff with Renee Molllan-Masters,M.A.)

Reality Productions: What kind of students find your book helpful?

Ms. Mollan-Masters: About 90% of all college students. Most students today do not have a clue about how to learn in long-term memory. They have spent their whole life memorizing which is really short-term memory learning. The YOU ARE SMARTER THAN YOU THINK book will show students how they learn best and then show them how to use this information to learn in long-term memory.

Reality Productions: Doesn't it take longer to get information into long-term memeory than it does to just memorize it?

Ms. Mollan-Masters: No. Our studies show consistanly that when you use your brain the way it was designed, you will learn faster - in about one-third less time. It will also help the student answer essay questions and tough multiple choice questions. If they need to apply the information they have learned, this learning system will also help them with that.

Rality Productions: What about old learners, can it help them too?

Ms.Mollan-Masters: Yes. We come into this world with gifts and those gifts stay with us our whole life unless there is some kind brain damage. The YOU ARE SMARTER THAN YOU THINK book will give mature returning students the courage they may be lacking. This book is very user friendly. It takes you step by step through the process. Returning students tell me that it gave them the boost they needed to believe in themselves again and succeed.

Reality Productions: What one thing would you like to tell potential buyers?

Ms. Mollan-Mollan: The truth is we are a lot smarter than we think. It is also true that students at the college and university level are dropping out at record numbers. Why? One reason is that students today have never learned how to learn. It is not a difficult task. If you want to be a success then you will want to read and use the YOU ARE SMARTER THAN YOU THINK book.
