A brilliant student need not be naturally brilliant. A brilliant
student is simply a student who studies brilliantly,
co-operating with how his or her brain naturally works, not
working against it. Every student can be a brilliant student in
his own way if he learns to do these five things.

Brilliant Student Secret
#1: Learn a Little Every Day
Brilliant students learn a little every day. For long- term
knowledge retention and recall, this strategy performs
dramatically better than cramming. If you would like your
children to learn the names and the capitals of all of the fifty
states in the United States of America, which strategy do you
think is better?

#2: Reinforce Facts With Spaced Repetition
Spaced repetition is a technique for making study time
highly effective, a technique for choosing what to study and
review on any given day. In spaced repetition, we carefully
schedule each follow-up review for a specific fact. With every
successful review, the time before the next review increases.
With every mistake, the time before the next review
decreases.

(3) Brilliant students actively seek to make new associations
with knowledge as soon as they acquire it. They do this by
actively looking, reading, and researching to try to find
knowledge they can associate with something they have
learned.

4 : Study Using Active Recall
To make a memory as strong as possible, have your
students actively recall the facts they are learning. For
example, john is memorizing the names of all of the
presidents of Nigeria. Initially, she hears or reads a fact to
be learned, such as “obasanjo started serving as president
in the year 2000.” Simply hearing or reading information is
called passive review. Passive review is not the best way to
study material in order to remember it later.
