Material Detail

This is a free textbook from BookBoon.

This book 'is the outcome of the lectures delivered to the students by the author over the years, and should be useful to all students studying in High School, Pre-University, Degree and Professional courses.

The book analyzes the pressures faced by the students, various fears, and academic and personal difficulties experienced by the students. Very important topic of dealing with ‘stress’ generated in the students and the methods of overcoming the same are enumerated. More importantly, techniques to sharpen the mind and the various ways of gathering and consolidation of knowledge are explained. Also, ‘memory techniques’ and different types of ‘mnemonics’ to help students remember things are described. Further, topics such as ‘exam fear’ and the ways of getting over it, preparing for exam, exam strategies, time management and effective methods of writing the exam etc are explained. Inspirational quotations from Saints and great personalities in history are given, which should certainly motivate the students to become good human beings, in addition to excelling in academics.

Three important Appendixes give a few inspirational quotes to ponder over, excerpts from ‘110 Rules of Civility’ by George Washington, the First American President, and, excerpts from the famous letter written by Abraham Lincoln to his son’s teacher, saying how the boy should be educated. I am sure that these Appendixes will enhance the value of the book, and will be appreciated by the readers.'
