Study for the SAT Essay Faster: A Ninja Trick to Higher Scores

January 6, 2009

There's a super, ninja trick to getting your brain to absorb information like a sponge that's been baking in the hot sun.

I learned this trick some time ago. And when I used it to prepare a proposal for a client, I was able to reduce the research time from 40 hours to about 40 minutes using this technique (I know it sounds unbelievable but when I tell you how it works, you'll see why it's totally possible for you too.)

I learned this trick from Mark Forster. You can go check out his blog.

Anyhow, here's the tip:

Before you open up a book or article that you're going to study or use for research write down all the questions you want answered. Then try to answer the questions with whatever knowledge you have and even make up things that are NOT true to answer the question.

I know this sounds strange but keep reading, When you do this, your brain gets primed and ready to learn the REAL information in the book or article.

Your mind becomes focused like a laser beam on the information you need. And if you're doing research, you're able to easily bypass the information you do NOT need to answer your questions. That's how I saved 40 hours of research for my client's proposal.

I noticed I only needed to answer three questions with the big stack of research materials on my desk. I didn't actually NEED to read them all. So what I did was skim through the materials and find exactly what I needed to write the proposal and no more.

You can use this idea for any paper you'll write in high school or college too. And of course when studying for the SAT Essay or any other part of the SAT the same tip applies. Write out what questions you want answered. Answer them. Then find the REAL answers in the text.

Simple, right? And very effective. If you'd like to know more ninja tricks like this to help you study for the SAT Essay and get into a top college or university then get SAT Essay Success today. Next Fall when you start your Freshman year in college you'll be glad you did.
