Change Your Brain, Change Your Grades

If you want more success in school (and life!) you have to change what you are currently doing – if you want different results, change your brain! This book shows you how to do just that. Based on thousands of brain scans and decades of research, it summarizes for readers the best practices and most effective and efficient methods for improving your study skills and getting the results you want. Although this book is written toward college or high school students, it will be helpful for any student from middle school to adult, and while many ideas are ones that readers have probably encountered before, there are sure to be some that are new and surprising. One unique aspect is identifying different “brain types”, with specific ways to nurture and support each type so your brain works at its best. Then, in easy to read chapters, suggestions follow for taking notes, finding a study partner, using your time wisely, planning, test-taking, and many other strategies. The suggestions are direct, specific, and actionable, with copious relevant (and entertaining) examples, and each chapter has quick summaries for review. Employing several or all of these strategies is sure to lead to improved success in all your studies.
