Working hard is not enough. To be an effective student you need to work smart.This book is for students who are serious about being successful in study and teachers who want to know how best to help their students learn. For being a successful student is far more about being a smart user of effective strategies than about being smart.In Effective Notetaking and Mnemonics for Study Dr McPherson showed readers many strategies for improving understanding and memory. But these on their own can only take you so far if you dont know how to cement that information into your brain for the long term. In this new book Dr McPherson explains the 10 principles of effective practice and revision.Few students know how to revise effectively which is why they waste so much time going over and over material as they try to hammer it into their heads.

Using examples from science math history foreign languages and skill learning that is what this book aims to teach you.This book will tell youwhat you should practice or revisehow you should practicehow often you should practicehow far apart you should schedule your sessionsdifferent strategies you can use in your practicehow skill learning differs from fact learningand more.As always with the Mempowered books this book uses the latest cognitive and educational research to show you what to do to maximize your learning.
