Super Learning, How To Get Straight A's: Proven Strategies For Absorbing Huge Amounts of Information In A Short Amount Of Time / Saldan, Rick

How I achieved straight A’s in college and you can too!

I had not taken a college class probably in some 20 years. The world of nursing had changed dramatically in the past several years. Because the economy was in such a tailspin, thousands of people were abandoning their lifelong careers and jumping into nursing as a means to sustain some level of dependable income. Now instead of nursing schools out there aggressively recruiting students to fill their seats, they had to instead fight them off with a stick. Instead of classrooms being half empty, now many nursing programs often had 1200 applicants trying to compete for the 40 to 60 seats that were available. As a result, they dramatically changed the nursing school enrollment process had raised the standards for enrollment.

The core science courses included:  Biology, Microbiology, Chemistry, and then Anatomy & Physiology 1 & 2. In addition to these difficult core science courses, you also had to enroll in:  Psychology 1 & 2, Sociology, Public Speaking, English Composition 1 & 2, Ethics and Morality, and Algebra.

The guidance counselor I was assigned to went over all of this with me. My head was spinning. It just seemed so hard to believe that you had to put out all of this incredible amount of work and then you can go on and apply for a program where you were competing against 1200 other applicants in hopes of getting one of the 40 to 60 empty seats. The counselor said the recruiters were looking for students with straight A’s in all of these courses. Absolutely incredible! It fried my mind!

These expectations all seemed totally surreal. Like some kind of spin-off of the “Mission: Impossible” series. I had a number of things already stacked against me. First was the fact that I had not been a full-time college student for over 20 years. The brain gets a little rusty compared to the 18-year-olds who had been out of school for just two months or so. Secondly, another big hurdle was the fact that I couldn’t remember getting A’s in too many of the courses I had taken some 20 years earlier. I was always a B and C student. Never an A student.

Over the next several weeks, I worked hard and fast to develop a system that would enable me to absorb huge amounts of information in a very short amount of time. With tweaks, trial and error work, my system actually worked and I became a straight A student that first semester. I tested the system from time to time and was able to do things like learn 300 facts in one night and score a 93 the next day on the exam. This book gives a good solid overview of that system I developed. If you take the time to follow the system, you will have a reliable methodology for learning a large volume of information in a short amount of time just as I did. I went from being a low B and C student to straight A’s. I did it, and so can you!
