=== Notes ===

In the thousands of students I've worked with, there are some fundamental techniques or APPROACHES to studying that tend to produce better results.

These are the 5 techniques and attributes that I have seen to be critical milestones in a learner's development.

Whether you're a beginner looking to become a more efficient student or an already top achiever pursuing even further self-improvement, these 5 steps are things that I think can benefit you.

1. Priming/prestudy - priming as I mentioned is a big topic and shouldn't be thought of simply as "prestudy". Whatever notion you have of prestudy to begin with should be abandoned. See if the way I explain it is the same as how you understand it.

2. Event engagement - in class or lecture. What are you doing to increase your effectiveness in the primary learning event? How much control do you exert here?

3. Post-event review - when do you do it and...

4. Review technique - HOW do you consolidate the information in your post-event review.

5. Pre-exam or test preparation - are you using this time effectively, or just creating an illusion of preparation?
