Optimized Learning: A Guide to Higher Grades and Satisfying Careers

By Joe Roehrkasse

You don't need to be a genius; you just need to know the right strategies. If you want a step-by-step detailed guide that walks you through how to study in school, prepare for admissions tests and licensing exams, and learn new skills on your own, then this is your book. Most people say that they want to have a career that they enjoy, but not many actually do. Some didn't have the grades and test scores needed to get admitted into the best schools and make it through competitive programs in fields such as medicine and engineering. Others may not have qualified for enough scholarships to make school a good return on investment. They may have had the aptitude, but they might not have used the right strategies, and the people who tried to help them may not have known the best strategies either. Some may have even had the grades, scores, and money to do anything they wanted, but they chose the wrong field because they didn't know what they were getting into, were pressured into following a certain path, or didn't really know what they wanted. And some were not able to become good enough at what they did to attain promotions and gain more autonomy in their roles. The purpose of this book is to ensure that you do not wind up like those people by helping you learn quickly and effectively in school, at work, and on your own. If you are still in school, then learning how to learn will allow you to earn the grades and scores needed to get accepted into the schools of your choice, win scholarships, and pursue any field you want while not having to spend every minute stressed, sleep deprived, and studying. There's more to life than textbooks, and employers care about a lot more than just numbers on a resume, so it's important to not have to spend all of your time sitting in a library. If you have finished your formal education, then you likely already know that there's only so much that can be learned in a classroom. Therefore, it's important to also be able to teach yourself things on your own, things that can matter more than some of the information that is memorized in school. Many top performers are at least partially self-taught, so this book will cover how to develop a unique skill set without spending thousands of dollars on tuition. These skills will allow you to do the job, create the product, or provide the service that few others can, an ability that will earn you promotions, customers, sales, and ultimately freedom. It all starts with learning how to learn, preferably by reading a guide filled with practical strategies that was written by a Valedictorian who wasn't naturally gifted. Some top students can breeze through school without advanced study strategies, but for those of us who are not geniuses, it can be helpful to learn from someone who isn't one. This book will: Show you how to take notes depending on whether you are in a classroom, at work, or learning on your own so that you don't miss anything and can easily reference the information whenever and wherever you need it Walk you through how to study based on whether you are studying for a test in school, preparing for a standardized exam, or learning on your own, including step-by-step instructions and links to videos Provide you with the test-taking strategies needed to do well on exams Explain how to write better papers and become a better public speaker Allow you to relax and get everything done on time without pulling all-nighters Teach you how to teach yourself new skills that will make you more competitive in the job market Help you avoid the trap that some high achievers fall into that leaves them feeling unsatisfied with their careers and lives
