From the desk of: George Tee

Hi, my name is George Tee, I’m from Singapore and I am graduating with a Finance degree in this year 2009. Now as I looked back, I’m pretty lucky that I am getting my Finance degree eventually because I almost failed my exams when I was in high school. I was totally sucked into gaming and lost interest in my studies. In fact, I nearly dropped out of school when I was around 14 years old.

Here’s what happened..

To cut the story short, with a tiny bit of chance, I’ve managed to get into one of the lower ranking pre-universities (or we called it junior college) in our country. My foundations were so poor that when I entered the junior college, I had no idea of the fundamentals of the subjects I had learnt in high school. If you find any grammatical errors in this website, you will understand what I mean by poor foundations – English language is my second language and it was much worse than this in the past.

In our country, for us to further our studies in the university, we would need to sit for a Cambridge exam known as GCE Advanced Level (A-level). It is a recognized international exam that is taken by many students from all over the world.

For a student who does not understand a single thing in the subject would definitely fail the exam. In fact, most people get on average a few Bs. The better ones would definitely score a couple of A’s and the worse ones would score a couple of C’s or D’s or even F’s.

And Here Are My Results

Physics – A
Chemistry – A
Mathematics – A

I’m not here to brag to you about my grades, but to share with you the importance of using the right study system.  This has nothing to do with intelligence, smart, or even hardworking. The only thing that matters is what you do that makes a difference in your grades.

So have I convinced you that using the right system is important?

Now I’m sure that the reason that you are reading this page is because you want to use the least amount of effort and get the best grades. To help you get started, I like to help you by sharing with you the secrets I have wrote in my book – “The Secrets Of Scoring ‘A’s”.

Let’s get started.

What Is The Most Important Thing To Do Before You Start To Study?

Unlike the other websites where they tell you a lot of stuff about study techniques or how to study effectively, like “study at the same time and same place”, or the “SQ3R” method, these are not the most important thing to help you get better grades.

The Most Important Thing To Do First Is To Plan…

Yes, SQ3R method may be effective in some way, study at the same time and same place may help you to concentrate or focus better, but all these tips or techniques are not going to help you much if you fail to plan. In fact, all these tips and techniques are going to kill you or make you fail your exams if you follow them blindly.

But how to plan?

Most students would either think that this is just simply waste of time or they don’t even know how to plan. They think that by start studying immediately would be saving more time instead. Well, that is true if you study one day before your exams. But the truth is if you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

That was the first thing I did when I entered junior college. In 2002, I remembered I once told my friends, I planned to get 3 distinctions for my A level subjects. I sit down and spent a few hours planning it and this plan came true after 2 years.

Most of my friends thought I was intelligent, smart or lucky. But think about it, I entered junior college with almost no foundation, how can I be intelligent, smart or lucky? Deep down inside my heart, I knew that it is all because I planned for it to happen.

If you would like to find out more about how I plan for my distinctions, the secret studying system I used and my studying strategies and techniques, you can sign up for the newsletter below and you will later reach another page where you will discover more about this studying system I have been using in my student life that helps me achieve good grades without putting much effort.

See you on the other side!
