Description

This proven, short, easy-to-read book will give you a simple study method that will quickly increase your understanding and retention of written material.

The Overnight Student is the result of the author’s twenty-year search by trial and error for a learning system that would allow him to quickly understand and remember written material. This short, easy-to-read book clearly explains the simple, biblical technique that took him virtually overnight from straight F’s to straight A’s and then on to a bachelor’s degree and on to a doctorate.

Introduction
Noah was a home-schooled sixteen-year-old. His father Dr. Arthur Robinson gave him a college-level physics book to learn with no outside help. Noah studied five to seven hours per day, but his error rate was 30%. He and his dad then read the booklet The Overnight Student and discovered a simple, new way of studying. Noah tried using this oral learning technique. His father said Noah started understanding the material better, and his study time was reduced, and his error rate fell to essentially zero.
After homeschooling, he passed enough advanced-placement exams to enter college as a junior. Whenever the material became too difficult, he employed his new study method, and he earned straight A’s as a chemistry major. He applied for graduate school and took the Graduate Record Examinations. He used the study method to study for the GRE and received almost perfect scores. He was told by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that he was their top pick. He ultimately chose Caltech for graduate school and graduated with a Ph.D. in chemistry in 3 y ears.
Jill White was the elementary principal of Christian Heritage Academy in Oklahoma City. A friend in Jill’s Bible-study group said she had to take a week-long training and at the end of that week pass a banking examination as part of her job. She was nervous about it because she hadn’t taken a test in years, and she had never been good at testing. So, Jill loaned her the booklet The Overnight Student . She quickly read it, applied it, and at the end of the week made the highest grade in the c lass.
How can something this simple be this powe rful?
Chapter On e RAGS TO RICHES

Does this sound familiar? You’re reading some material you really want to understand and remember. Perhaps it’s the night before a test, and you’re cramming. And you’re telling yourself you’ll never again wait until the last minute. And the clock is ticking. And you feel the adrenaline starting to flow.
That was me in the spring of 1969. To finance my schooling, I was working three part-time jobs. And I was under the additional pressure of being on academic probation because I had flunked out of the University of Oklahoma twice with two semesters in a row of straight F’s. When you do that, you can’t call yourself a stu dent.
God must have felt sorry for me or just got tired of waiting for me to discover something that He knew was simple. I found myself getting up from my desk, not knowing for sure why I was getting up or what I was going to do, laying my notes on the bureau, and studying them in a way that was totally new t o me.
Amazing things started happening. I was understanding difficult concepts quickly. I was remembering them. And I was actually having fun. Going from drudgery to fun was a pleasant surprise. I realized something new and strange was happening, and I had possibly discovered something that was going to be life-chan ging.
Hit the Sack
My usual procedure was to stay up half the night, and I was prepared to do that. But before I knew it, I was through studying, and I knew that I knew the material. I went to bed with an excitement and a confidence that was new to me. When I walked into the classroom the next day, I couldn’t wait to take the test.
My usual method of taking multiple-choice tests was to read the question, look at the possible answers, and eliminate the obviously wrong ones. But that usually left me with two choices. So, I would take my best guess. This time, as soon as I read the question, I knew the answer I was looking for. I found it, marked it, and zipped on to the next question.
