Who It's For
Good fit if
- You read everything and retain nothing
- You study a lot and it still feels shaky
- Exams go worse than your prep would suggest
Not for you if
- You're looking for material on a specific subject
- Your study system already works
A Look Inside
The core trade:
Stop asking "Did I read this?"
Start asking "Can I say this without looking it up?"
Almost everything else follows from that one change.
