Learning on Steroids FAQ
The program costs $14 per month, you can unsubscribe at any time and there's a 60-day return policy, so there's no risk in trying it out.
There are 12 months of content. If you don't want to wait, you can get unlimited access for a discount, once you're in the program.
Most of the skills should be trained as part of your existing studying. So the additional time is only for following the material and for doing the first few drills. Expect a few hours per week to spend experimenting with new tactics and reading/watching.
What will I get in the program?
Learning on Steroids has three parts. First, there's monthly content. This consists of short PDF guides explaining new tactics, video tutorials and expert interviews. Second, you get an email each week giving you additional tips (much like these bootcamp emails). Finally, the program is interactive, with forums which I respond to questions and a live online workshop later in September.
How long does it take to get results?
Students have achieved results in as little as a week or two from starting, while others see the main benefit accrue over a few months. The biggest factor is how much effort you put into learning the tactics and changing your studying routine.
You can cancel at any time by sending me an email (there's contact information within the members' site). If you need a refund, I there's a 60-day return policy, just contact me and I'll be happy to return your money. I have enough happy customers that I don't want money from people who aren't satisfied with the course.
We've had students from almost every conceivable background. High-school, university, masters, PhD, professional designation, self-education, law, chemistry, physics, literature, music, math and business. The reason the program can work with such diverse members is twofold. First, I focus on learning tactics, not tricks for passing tests or hacks to handle a particular course, so the ideas are general and will work no matter what level you're studying at. Second, I share a diverse array of tactics, not just one particular method. That means you can pick the tactics suited to your course, whether you're doing a lot of writing and reading, need to memorize facts or understand hard ideas. The curriculum is robust and I've done a lot of research to make it useful to the majority of learners.
How is it different from your free advice?
If you've been following the bootcamp, you already have a very good idea of what to expect. There will be some more in-depth resources, but otherwise the content is of the same style. The only difference is that there's a lot more of it.
When do you open? For how long?
Sorry! Registration is now closed, if you want to sign up for next time, you can get more information in the newsletter.
Results from Real Students
Before learning about holistic learning, I was achieving good grades, but the problem was that I was spending absolutely ages studying. Literally 8 hours a day for 3 weeks in the run up to my exams. Since then I've adopted a host of new studying techniques. I'm still achieving the grades I was a year ago, but with a lot less stress, and now I've got a lot more time to pursue other interests.

I read your guide at the beginning of Y11; It was inspirational so I spent weeks devising methods of applying the content. There is no doubt in my mind that it has paid off. For example:
-Achieving the top 0.5% in my state, Victoria, for Mathematical Methods.
-I am never worried that I will forget something for exams.
-Studying for exams and tests has become much less stressful."

I would like to thank you VERY much for your work; your program has helped and continues to help me immensely! One little advice helped me the most: quantity over quality at the beginning, start small and don't try to be perfect at first. I applied that mindset especially to metaphors and the 5-y-method - with great results."

Your advice has benefited me greatly in increasing my productivity.

I have loved using your services over almost a year now, ... I have taken away many skills such as speed reading and I have abolished rote-review/memorization from my study tactics. I will keep on reading your blog and advocating this program and your blog to my friends and community

My results:
- I was able to pull straight 90's in hard classes such as Calculus II and Discrete Mathematics.
- I have been able to get an 82 in my last Calculus Exam with NO studying at all.
- I schedule time to other commitments such as a Science Fair competition, and I recently got 4 prizes in total, including an Engineering and Computer Science scholarship for $2500.

I was a C student in college. ... I know this sounds really corny, but learning actually became fun once I opened myself up to new ways to learn. My mind was always in a flow state now when I was learning, instead of looking at the clock and falling asleep. [My financial planning certification exam] has about a 50% pass rate and I have known some very smart people who have had to take it twice. It's one of the biggest accomplishments in my career has been passing the exam.

The term is over, and just thought I'd let you know that my mid-semester total average is 94.3%. It's a massive increase from my grade before I started using the techniques, and also came with a lot less effort.
- Elle Y.
I mentioned in my first post that I wasn’t doing so well in Chemistry, because on the first test I scored a 57. I failed, and I was in a panic.
[After Learning on Steroids,] I took the exam with a bit more confidence and got my grades back with an 86. It may not seem like a huge improvement, but the class average was a failing grade. Another thing to note is that I just did not simply catch up with my class, I finished the entire curriculum for the semester.
