I
’m proud of you. You made it all the way through the book.
Here’s my final advice:
■
Reread How to Study, cover to cover. It’s similar to seeing
a movie for the second time—you always find something
you missed the first time around.
■
Practice what I preached. You had an excuse for flunking
before—you didn’t know how to study. Now you have
absolutely no excuse.
■
Buy, read, and put into practice whichever of the companion
volumes you need.
■
Write me a letter to tell me what helped, how much better
you’re doing in school, or to let me know what else I can
include to add to the value of the books.

I promise I’ll try to respond if you ask, but please avoid calling
me—I’ll probably be on the road promoting How to Study! Good
studying!
