Asking that question was how it all got started. Nearly four years ago I wrote an article about how I was able to do just that\u2014get A’s on exams without studying<\/a>.<\/p>\n I know it’s possible, not just because I’ve done it a number of times, but because after writing the article I heard from numerous people who told me that they had as well. What’s more interesting is that most of them told me they did it the same way.<\/p>\n To clarify, I don’t think writing exams without any kind of preparation is a good idea. Just because you can drive blindfolded doesn’t mean you should. But it did force many students to question their assumptions about how to learn.<\/p>\n To many, learning success means a lot of painful hours in the library. Successful students must either possess rare genius or monastic obsession to their textbooks. Claiming there might be a third option caused a bit of controversy. Enough that I still get emails every day about an article I wrote almost four years ago.<\/p>\nLearn More, Study Less: The Video Course<\/h2>\n
