Today we're going to be talking about what makes that top 1% of learners out-perform everyone else when it comes to studying for exams or just learning in general.
I've sat lots of tests at medical school and coached hundreds of people in work and to help them pass exams and I've broken down what I consider to be the most common trends that all the students who get the best grades have into the 7 Study Techniques of TOP Performing Students.
We all know that one person who seems to come 1st in exams every single time and who seems super smart and gets top grades and we often put this down to their intelligence or some kind of genetic ability. But to be a successful student it isn't just about talent it's also about study technique and regardless of your academic ability or what you are learning I've seen these #studytechniques work every single time to help people get top grades and boost their performance.
I cover #activerecall #encoding and some other study techniques you might not have encountered.
