5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Study Habit Guide Ever, August 1, 2002
By Brian Van Way (Boulder, CO United States) - See all my reviews
I've received three degrees, most since I discovered Dr. Olney's fantastic system. Not so much a how to study, but more a how to play the game of college. Prior to reviewing Dr. Olney's tapes I received good grades - A's and B's. Afterwards, I received all A's and one B+. Listen to this man, he'll save you countless hours of frustration and allow you to get better grades with less work.

5.0 out of 5 stars College Bound, January 3, 2002
By A Customer
I have two sons--both watched this tape and both picked up really good tips and habits. They graduated from High School with 4.5 GPA's and completed University--with the help of this video.

4.0 out of 5 stars A mix of motivation, gamesmanship, and real study skills., October 29, 2003
Dr. Olney's tape wastes a bit of time by including too many motivational testimonials. Once he gets down to business, the material is excellent. His discussin academic gamesmanship (getting better grades than you deserve) is excellent. His discussion of how to change your lifestyle to improve your grades is also excellent. He teaches many very useful study skills, but places too little emphasis on the best of them. A student should pay very careful attention to these study tricks; most of them work very well.
