PREFACE
“Study? Sooooo boring!”
E ach one of us has loved to hate studies, and still managed to get through. We have always envied the so called “scholars” of our class, who could score twice the marks with half the study. And who will like something that he is not successful at?
But as is true with every game, there are certain rules to study. Certain methods, ways and techniques to study better. When one plays the game of study with these rules, it becomes beautifully simplified and extremely easy. And that’s what this book is all about.
Most of us would be using some technique outlined in this book. But, it must be something that we learnt by trial and error, by experience. Super Student is an attempt to compile this trial and error experience archive into a comprehensive book. It’s just all about using experiences of others to your benefit. You needn’t burn yourself to know fire is hot.
What is the source of the book? How are these 65 odd chapters written? You have a right to know, and you must. This book is a compilation from a variety of sources – the main is experience of students. It is one thing that none of us can afford to ignore, as it’s the best teacher. Students have realised these insights, some of which are learnings of entire student careers.
There is another aspect to this. All the information that is in this book is knowledge too. It has been cross checked and verified by many others, and has worked with most. With some tweaking it will definitely work for you too. Only it needs to be applied in the right context.
Another important thing is to have a balance – even the best technique applied extremely will fail miserably, and in balance, even poison is beneficial. Apply with a lot of caution, without depending solely on any particular technique or method. It is an integrated approach that will give you the best results.
This is the beginning of a unique relationship between you and me. We are to share some of the best insights of the art of studying. The role of this book is also reminding you of what you already know. Thus, to start, I’ll begin with this prayer.
…May every word in this book find the perfect thought in your mind .

1. BECOME A SUPER STUDENT
T here is always a better way. You can do much better. You need to learn the tricks of the game, and become a super student.
The very fact that you picked up this book, goes on to show your interest in learning ways to study better and score more marks. Your commitment has just started. But ask yourself first – are you just interested in more marks and effective study habits or are you “committed” to it? There is a big difference.

Just like superman is an extraordinary man, you are going to become a super student. But you need to be committed to being one. You need to be ready to experiment. Your commitment is the ultimate bottom line of this entire book. And if you are truly dedicated to make a lasting change, this book will produce miraculous results.
This is the first step to improving – setting newer standards for yourself. Absolutely refuse to accept your old behavior. Tolerate nothing less than excellence. Ask yourself – who is ultimately in control? You!! Take control – this very moment. NOW!!
So from today you are not
