    About this ebook

    Fed up with the inadequate offerings already available to people serious about improving their study skills, Lysette Offley, a teacher and trainer of 30 years, set about to remedy the situation.

    In this book you will learn how to study efficiently so that you can pass exams easily, while doing less work, not more. You will learn how to revise for exams and how to enhance memory and study skills by learning to study intelligently, discovering as you do, the brilliant memory improvement strategies used by world memory champions. With Genius Material you'll learn to study smarter.

    Everything you need is covered in chapters such as:

    •The Three Keys to Learning
    •The Learning Cycle
    •How to keep tabs on your progress
    •Why it's important to test yourself and how to do it for maximum success
    •What sort of paper and pens you need
    •Dividing your work into manageable chunks
    •How to make your notes so you can easily recall them
    •The importance of keywords
    •The rule of 7
    •Simple techniques to make your notes more memorable
    •What to do if you can't remember your revision

    Endorsed and supported by NMBA, Zurich, AXA Wealth, Partnership and Prudential, Lysette is proud of Genius Material's track record.

    100% Success
    During the 4-month trial, ALL the professionals participating in the Pilot Group using Genius Material passed ALL their exams.
    What's more, 92% of participants achieved pass marks of 70% or more and 42% of them got 80% or more!

    “I’ve just heard that I passed my first exam with a distinction! It was hard work, but following Genius Material advice obviously did the trick. Thank you Lysette.” Martin Capel-Smith, St James’ Place

    "Your techniques are well thought out, and actually do work...so thankyou! I went on to pass an exam, which I had previously failed, at a pass rate of 81%.... Many thanks for your help...will definitely be recommending you!” Sarah Skelton Senior Consultant, UK Accounts, Zurich

    "The programme will definitely hit the mark for individuals aiming for higher professional qualifications. Well done!” Nick Hunt, Markets Development Manager, Prudential

    Human beings are hard-wired to forget, and with poor revision strategies on top, most people forget 80% of what they've revised within 2 weeks. However, step-by-step and no messing, this book teaches you exactly what to do about that so that you remember what you intend to, you cut down on revision time, pass your exams easily, and above all, enjoy the process and increase your self-esteem and confidence.
