Today’s newsletter is going to be a short one.

Why?

Because I need you to take action on this TODAY!

In this newsletter, I am going to reveal to you a technique that no joke allowed me to go from failing maths to scoring 100%, multiple times.

If you’re struggling with maths right now and are stuck at 60-70%, I can guarantee that if you do this technique too, you’ll see a massive improvement.

Are you ready for this?

The crazy technique is


Drumroll please

Practice the questions that you are struggling with and are weak on, NOT the questions that you already know how to do.

Right now, you’re most likely focusing on the topics that you know how to do already.

I used to do the same thing.

In year 11, I studied so hard for this math exam
only to get 70% — and the students who studied the day before got 90%.

When I got this mark back, I was gobsmacked.

How the hell did I do so bad when I studied more than everyone else
am I just stupid?

Then I realised that the problem was that during my practice sessions, I ONLY did the questions that I knew how to do already — which meant that I had a placebo effect and thought that I was going to do well and knew everything, when in reality, I didn’t at all.

The truth is, if you’re a student who is only focusing on doing the questions that you know how to do, it’s because it feels good. It reinforces your ego.

However, when you focus on questions that you struggle with, it damages your ego and makes you think you’re going to do poorly — this is why everyone hates to do the questions that are hard!

So, here’s my action step I want you to take from today:

Stop practicing the questions that you already know how to do. Instead, focus solely on doing the questions that you struggle with, are weak on and don’t know how to do properly.

WARNING:
You’re going to feel uncomfortable doing this. It’s going to feel like you know nothing. However, this is a lie!

The fact that it’s uncomfortable means you’re doing something right, so persevere and you will improve!

Don’t be an consumer and instead take action!

Start using this method from today
not tomorrow, not next week, not in 2 weeks.

I’ll see you next week,
