Scott Young

In many ways, I still am a student. We, as human will never really be complete with studying. I've graduated with a Bachelor's Degree but apparently that is insufficient, so I'm currently pursuing my professional papers with CPA Australia.

Because I'm not accustomed to self-studying. I mean, I've completed two units already but the results are not as satisfactory as I want it to be. I'm searching for ways to improve my studying skills. As a result, I started googling and youtubing for tips on how to study. I know it sounds dumb but I really did that. And that's how I came across Scott Young, the guy who completed a four-year MIT's Computer Science course within twelve months and without attending any classes at MIT. You can read about his MIT Challenge here. I was blown away. I continue reading and watching his study tips that he shares on his Blog and on YouTube. I registered for his Learning on Steroids program yesterday. The deadline for registration to Learning on Steroids is July 6th, 10AM PDT. If you're wondering how much does it cost to register to Learning on Steroids, it is $14 per month. I can't say if it is worth the money or not just yet since it is only my second day registered to this program.

So far, everything that he listed one was what I used to do in college but the thing about me, I guess is I procrastinate a lot and I cram for exams. I know it is bad but I just can't get out of that cycle. I hope with this program I can stop myself from procrastinating and excel in my third unit. At the same time, I'm afraid that because work will be even more hectic the coming months, I wouldn't be able to keep up with my studies.

However, with that said though, at every month end I will summarize the things that Scott Young's LoS has taught me and whether it was worth the $14 or not.

Right now, I'm searching for Breakthrough Rapid Reading by Peter Kump. I mean I could buy it off Amazon but the shipping takes too long.

And if you have any great study tips to share, please leave it at the comments section below. It will be greatly appreciated!
