The Proven Study Technique That Helps You Get Better Grades

 

Spring semester is already halfway finished. Before you know it finals week will be here, and you’ll be miserably cramming for classes in which you wish you’d studied a little (or a lot) harder. But it doesn’t have to be that way! Instead of trying to figure out what you do and don’t know about the courses you’re taking, or studying all kinds of things that you don’t need to learn, all you need to do is get LearnSmart.

Everyone knows that courses get more difficult as you move forward through the semester. The concepts you’re learning begin to build on each other, and when crunch-time arrives and you need to study, you find yourself wondering what it is you really need to know.

That’s where LearnSmart comes into play! It helps you master the basics so that you can better understand and quickly learn the more advanced materials your instructor introduces.

LearnSmart offers a study plan of questions that are tailored specifically to your academic needs for this particular class. Its technology determines which core concepts you haven’t learned or don’t fully grasp, then works with you to build your knowledge of those topics using a personalized learning plan created just for you!

As you study and move through the LearnSmart program, that learning plan monitors and adapts to your changing knowledge level. If you need some motivation, you can get competitive and compare your score to other students in your LearnSmart class across the country.

You can use LearnSmart on your laptop, iPhone, iPad, and soon Android devices, so studying on the go is a cinch. And don’t worry about saving your progress—when you visit LearnSmart, the program saves exactly where you left off, no saving or downloading required on your part.

Check out LearnSmart’s extensive course list to find your textbook. They offer the LearnSmart advantage for nearly 200 courses on 30 different topics, so your class is bound to be in there somewhere. These students earned much better grades when they used LearnSmart to study, and so could you!
