Hey there, Congratulations on taking the first step into bettering your learning which is to actively try and improve! No one starts off at the top.
Let's dive into this weeks post. In this video, I simply summarize the research on How Top Students Do Better than Others. Since I was younger, Top students in my class would perform better than me in subjects and I was always curious why that was the case. The 2 TED Talks that helped me change the way I learn new information are linked below, I recommend watching these videos if you are serious about doing better in school with less effort.
