The smarter way to get the grades you want
Study less
Remember more
Breathe easier 🙂
I’m going to be honest with you…
… I often see some pretty smart cookies round here.
But their study methods?
All too often, those are far from smart.
And that means more work, more stress, and lower marks.
Perhaps you’re still getting the grades you want, but you’re worrying, and forcing yourself to study more and more.
Or maybe you’re under-performing, frustrated that you can’t get your test scores no matter what you do.
I can’t promise to make exams easy…
…but you can absolutely make life easier for yourself
The new science of how to study smart saves you time:
- Get more done in less time
- Learn faster, remember for longer
- Score higher marks on exam day
When you discover the secrets, you can breathe calmer, knowing you’re going to ace those exams without working crazy-hard.
I can almost feel the weight lifting from those shoulders already 🙂
“Even though I’ve sat and passed countless exams, it turns out that I didn’t know how to study! William’s help was invaluable.”
“I’ve learnt several new ways of studying effectively. I felt a big difference immediately – I can now remember information much more easily.”
Meet your new study mentor:
William Wadsworth
I help students find an easier path to exam success, by translating brain-science into highly practical strategies (that really work), and guiding you to success with heart and understanding:
- I know the science: I’m a Cambridge University trained psychologist, and active learning science researcher.
- I know what it takes: I wasn’t always a top achiever, but once I figured out how to apply the science, I got top 0.01% UK exam results at high school, and graduated from Cambridge in the top 10% of my class.
- I hear you: I know it can be tough. My approach has been refined and battle-tested for nearly 15 years, first on myself, then through helping generations of students ace their exams.
Between this blog and the Exam Study Expert podcast, I have the honour of guiding nearly half a million students to exam success, every year.
