10 steps to earning awesome grades (while studying less) by Thomas Frank

Becoming a more effective learner and boosting your productivity will help you earn better grades - but it’ll also cut down on your study time. This is a short, meaty book that will guide you through ten steps to achieving those goals:

• Pay better attention in class

• Take more effective notes

• Get more out of your textbooks

• Plan like a general

• Build a better study environment

• Fight entropy and stay organized

• Defeat Procrastination

• Study smarter

• Write better papers

• Make group projects suck less

Whether you’re in college or high school, this book will probably help you. But not if you’re a raccoon. I want to be very clear about that; if you’re a raccoon, please buy a different book. This one will do absolutely nothing for you. How did you even learn to read, anyway?

"Need a refresher of all of those effective recall strategies from SSS1? This book is for you!"

"This book is aimed at college students, but 90% still applies to high schoolers! I'd recommend this book to rising 10th graders and older."
