10 Steps to Earning Awesome Grades (While Studying Less)

By: Thomas Frank

Narrated 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 audiobook that will guide you through 10 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?

An honest take on this amazing book!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Not only was it full of good information and witty jokes (as with all the works of Thomas Frank), but it also really made a difference! One of the things I really wanted to work on was my ability to take notes while in a lecture, and to get better at active reading. When listening to this audiobook, I took notes the entire time! In doing so, I absorbed all of the information more efficiently, and actually discovered my own spin on note taking that I thoroughly enjoy. On another note, I believe this book is just long enough to give you all the information you need, but short enough to keep you interested (the condensed format really makes this a fantastic, and quick, read). I would recommend this to anyone who has an interest in working on themselves and being a lifelong learner. Surprisingly, I’d even recommend it to people who already watch his YouTube channel. Even though he talks about everything in this book on his channel, the order of which the information is in, and how it has been refined, makes this book an amazing compliment to his YouTube videos!

One of the best

this is abseloutly one of the best books to read if you want to improve as a student.
the advice comes from great research, and the personal experiences of the auther. And it doesnt hurt that it's spiced with Thomas humor.

great tips for studying any phase of your life

well written to the point with great.examples. it helped me improve my study methods .

straightforward and some nice tips.

Nothing groundbreaking, but plenty of good info and great resources to take it further. I've followed CIG for some time and had read the book before, but it was nice to refresh during my workouts.

Would read again

Really enjoyed listening to the book. Will consistently come back to this book since it was really helpful, inspiring and most of all motivating. Got my mind rolling on what I should do as my next step to not just become a better student, but a better learner and leader. Thank you so much.
