I would highly recommend this course to everyone as it has changed my life. I now have identified why I procrastinate and also where I am going wrong when revising. Dr Hugo goes through everything from having the right mindset to the process of revision in a lot of detail using many examples not just studying but also in life such as work. He also in great detail explains different techniques for memorising different content and helps you find the correct learning technique for each subject. Lastly he goes through step by step what you should do a few weeks before your exam approaches and provides a lot of handouts which is very useful. There are bonus modules which talk about finance and revision which is very helpful. What helps a lot too is once you have enrolled onto the course you are part of a Facebook group where if you feel demotivated or are unsure you can post in the group and get responses from other students as well as Dr Hugo. It is very helpful and immediately after the first day of the accountability program I saw a small difference daily. Now that I have completed all the course I can confidently say I know with the knowledge I now have I feel in a better position to sit my exams and reach all my goals to be successful in life. Honestly you need to purchase this course and you will not regret it!

This program has made me realize that I am better at studying than I thought; I just have been doing it wrong and inefficiently. It has not only helped me with my professional exams, but it has also helped me at work. As someone who has to learn new projects every day, this program has helped me immensely. It completely changes the game for anyone.

10/10 would recommend

I personally found this program to be extremely valuable not only for studying, but also for my mindset towards everything that I do. Having been a part of the education system for so many years, doing really well in some years and not so well in others, this program really helps to put everything into perspective and makes everything extremely clear as to what actually works and what doesn't.

As a student about to finish an undergraduate degree, perhaps for me it is a little late to have found this, but nonetheless, it's more than just studying that this program can help you with. Although I haven't had the chance to fully implement everything that I have learnt, this program is really useful for those who are committed to learning and improving themselves not only in their studying, but also their mindset and perspective. We have never really been taught in our lives to invest in ourselves, and to be completely honest, this is a great way to start. As someone who has never been able to find a way to commit to anything for a month, this program really showed me that if you really want something that you can go achieve it and follow it through as long as you have the passion and desire to. So, for all the other students out there, if you want to make a change and start learning smarter, really what better time to start than now?

I am currently a university student and Study Smarter Academy has helped me tremendously. Their approach is granular and effective. In the time I spent with Study Smarter Academy, I was given precise study techniques and tactics to be a more effective student and I was also given techniques that guided me through uncovering my self-sabotaging tendencies.

After the end of the program, I still refer to my notes from Study Smarter Academy. They helped me see where I was wasting my potential and helped me see what I can become. All of which was done efficiently and collaboratively with the Study Smarter Academy team.

It has changed the way of my thinking and how to cope with exam anxiety and I can’t wait for exams to come up so I can use these techniques and see the results.

The best course I've ever taken online. I always thought that I was "studying" but I was proven wrong. This course exposed my weakness on my study efficiency and helped me improve on them. I learned how memorize thing using the HILE method and how to study less and get better grades, and also retain what I've learned in class.

I have truly enjoyed every module of this program! I am so happy I decided to invest in this program. It has been the best decision I have made. This program is not just about study techniques but it also coincides with personal development. Taking action and sticking to that commitment is key with this program.
Unfortunately, I joined this program two weeks before my final exams so I wasn't able to apply everything I was learning from the modules. However, I was still able to make some changes that I know will help me be successful in my future endeavours.
Dr. Hugo brings you to focus and self-reflect to figure out the source of your problems and then provides excellent tips on how to improve. I have noticed I have a stronger foundation due to the change of my mindset and standards. I never realized how much this affected not only my study habits but my life in general.
I used the memorisation techniques for certain portions of my studying for finals and I was able to recall everything quickly. I can still recall everything at this moment. This surprised me since I had been struggling with remembering information. I can't go back to my ineffective studying methods now.
The techniques and tools are fun, engaging, and easy to follow. I can’t wait to apply all this knowledge I’ve learned to succeed in my studies and in my personal development.

My experience with this course has been quite informational, the members were all active and friendly, and Dr. Hugo genuinely seems invested in helping everyone enroll succeed. This course is not a quick fix to any school/university problems regarding exam grades. However, it’s a step by step process that takes time. I love how the content is a lifetime after the first initial purpose. I was skeptical when I first saw this program, but after trying it out myself, I am not disappointed. Hard work, commitment, and the right attitude will make this program fun and educational.

Hi,
Before i started this program i was spending a lot of time on homework but i was not really getting anything done. Sure i was getting the assignments and the steps done but i did not really understand the concepts. And because of that i had to spend time near the exams preparing, reviewing and revising all the things in the year for the test. It was hard because i had to cram everything into my brain. I was not reinforcing the things that i have learned throughout the year.
After using Dr. Hugo's methods, i have more time to do what i want and also study efficiently.
I was able to do more in a smaller timeframe.
Thanks Dr. Hugo for all the helpful tips.
When i learned about the memory method i was shocked. It helped my memory and i remember more things. I would heavily recommend this to others. Thanks Dr. Hugo.

I used the reward loop hack and it keeps me accountable with my work. I noticed I have been using my time much more efficiently and not just sitting for so many hours not getting much done. I also use the breaking down method which really helped me greatly. Signing up for your course has helped me to do more things that i enjoy and also use my time more efficiently.

I would have to say that Study Smarter Academy definitely helps keep you accountable when you're tackling the modules. Everything that you learned you get the benefits of applying to your education and personal life which is very relevant to what you may encounter later on. They provide useful tools to be successful in the program. However, Dr. Hugo says that you must be in the work, the effort, and you'll see great results from this and as long as you believe in yourself and believe that you can do anything, anything is possible. If you put your mind to it, you're able to achieve what has in store for you. Everyone works at a different pace, however, I managed to find ways to become more efficient with my study habits, procrastinate less, the fear of not knowing has declined meaning that I no longer fear of the mistakes but learning from them and learning from them I can master the skills and qualities of continue to self-improve my ways of life and ways of handling situations and even my studies. Study Smarter Academy will help you get through your struggles and will mentor along the way.

Absolutely amazing course!

At first joining the course I did not know what to really expect. I was a student who never achieved top grades but I had a burning desire to. So the course really appealed to me. Now having completed the 28 day challenge where you completed basically all the modules in 28 days I can say I am a changed person. And yes it it sound a dramatic but that’s the only way I can truly put it. Honestly it’s so amazing especially being part of the inner circle it’s a whole community of people who are just like you essentially. You may all be at different stages of the course but all have one common goal in mind which is to improve your study habits.

Procrastination does not control your life! You can have study motivation and have free time. Yes you can watch your favourite show everyday if you would like. Finding that study life balance is what we all want and I can say that now I know exactly how
To go about having that:)

Dr Hugo and his amazing team always make such amazing effort at answering student questions. When I first joined I thought I would have to wait days to get replies but that’s far from the truth. Even within the community there’s people who if they can will answer your questions and encourage you.

I had basic knowledge about study and what it involved but this course has really taught me so much more. It goes way beyond study it goes deep into your life and into who you are and exploring and finding answers to questions you never even thought to
Ask yourself!

I can say I am excited to further implement everything I have learned and share my success story as I go along!

Such an amazing course! The tutorials are clear and simple yet so effective. All the methods and techniques are so unique to any other studying course out there. As long as you are committed to changing yourself, this course will blow your mind away. I myself have been amazed at how much I can improve my memory in just watching a short video. Dr Hugo makes you realise your root problems in order to help you and will give tips on how to improve them to allow you to study smarter. It is an extremely friendly community where everyone is willing to help, mentor to student or student to student as everyone is or has been in the same boat before. Definitely recommend this course to anyone who is looking for ways to improve their grades, or trying to free up time from just studying while maintaining excellent grades!

I am so grateful to learn so much from Dr Hugo. I can recall the contents during my exam calmly after practising active recall and spaced repetition.
The HILE memory method is very useful and it makes the whole memorising process so much easier.
Currently, I am still working on the HILE numbering system so I can grasp it better and intend to use the reward heck method next to boost my efficiency even more!

Study Smarter Academy is helpful and you will achieve the results you intend to achieve with all the help offered. You will have support from Dr. Hugo and he will answer all your questions in the Facebook community provided for the members.
Every penny is worth it and I have learned much in the program that school does not even teach or talk about at all. If I learned everything that is provided in Study Smarter Academy earlier than 19 y/o, I would have been in Law School by now.
I have improved my memory, my study efficency and I manage my time better and have improved my schedule planning. The things I´ve learned have helped me change my bad study habits and replace them with good ones and I am still working on improving myself every day.
I used to always procrastinate and spend time watching Netflix then realize I only had two days until my exam and I crammed until the last minute before the exam and that resulted in a bunch of unnecessary stress, anxiety, and poor grades.
With the help of THE INNER CIRCLE study system program, I have stopped procrastinating and I study regularly with much less stress because I know that I have learned everything I am supposed to learn and my exam will have a good outcome.
I have also got to know myself better, changed my mindset, gained knowledge, good grades, and I have gained spare time to spend with my family and friends.

During these 28 days, I have learned a lot. But what impacted me most was probably the subject scoping technique and the knowledge based timetable. It's amazing how I feel much more in control of my studies. For once I wasn't stressed for an exam because I knew I had to complete all the learning objectives. The procrastination tool has helped me a lot to fight procrastination where I needed it most. Reducing friction by breaking the tasks, the accoutability hacks and the reward hack loop are all techniques that have greatly helped me fight procrastination. In addition, the fear neutralization techniques by naming 10 advantages of having bad grades and 10 disadvantages of having good grades greatly helped me to fight my fear of failure and to feel less stressed before exams. In general, my experience in Study Smarter Academy helped me a lot to prepare for college next year. Thank you so much!

The best program I could have ever invested my money in!

This course has changed my life, not only in my studies but also life in general. Over the years I tried various different methods to try and get better grades from increasing my study hours, taking more notes trying flashcards etc.but I would always fall behind from the cohort when it came to studying and keeping up with lecture content. There was barely a large increase in my grades even if I tried studying more than the previous year.

I initially spent about 6 months looking at the course structure of study smarter academy and wondering whether I should invest in this program but I have to say I do not regret investing in this program one tiny bit. It has been the best thing that happened to me.

Throughout the 28 days I learned so much valuable knowledge from the tutorials such as the subject scoping techniques, the procrastination techniques, the overarching law and the 7 deadly sins. They were a few of the things that really had a large impact on me.

I now have a new and developed mindset that is stronger and more prepared for my studies and life in general. The way I view my studies has really changed as I don't focus on studying for more hours anymore, which was what I inevitably thought would account to better grades. I now also stand by the 1% rule of doing at least a minimum 1% of small personal development/ improvement every day!

The subject scoping techniques have really changed the way I study as well and I don't even have to worry about if I'm studying the right information anymore - the subject scoping excel sheet tells me if its relevant or not straight away! In the past I always used to worry if I had covered all the content and I never had a visual representation of it, which added so much uncertainty but now, everything is right in front of me and I don't have to waste my time visiting a new webpage for each module to find something I haven't studied.

The best thing about this program is the fact that the tutorials can be used not just for your studies but also with your daily life. It really differentiates this program from others and the amount of support given through emails and the Facebook community is incredible.

This has helped me so much and given me the tools and motivation to improve my study habits and take action that actually works. I've learned to have a growth mentality constantly improve myself by 1% each day. A lot of what is taught doesn't only apply to studying but also to life, helping to create a practical balance.
I went from not knowing how to study, to being confident that I could achieve the goals I set for myself.

Wow, just wow. I am so glad I invested the time and money into this course because oh my has it been an incredible 4 weeks of change and self-discovery. Let me just break it down for you:

Week 1 - Mindset. I did not realise how important this was in order to get on with the techniques and procrastination. You won't be able to find the valuable information and tools anywhere else to gain the perfect mindset for your goal orientated grades. Before, when I procrastinated around 3-4 hours of 5 hours of work, I would look up the tricks on how to not procrastinate on Youtube. And yes of course, while the tips given are helpful, they are just so mind-numbingly obvious and don't help at all (e.g focus on your work and getting it done/put your phone away so it doesn't distract you). I feel like this part has those actual secrets and tricks which actually help you.

Week 2 - Study Planning. This section is all about being as efficient as possible when you study. It is clear and concise and you will come out of the week thinking "why have I never tried that? " or "Holy mole, I'm going to be so ahead of everyone! ". It is really good advice and I will defiantly be using it to excel in my studies.

Week 3 - Memorisation Techniques. Oh.my.god. This week absolutely blew my mind! You can search the internet for hours and try to find ways to memorise a bit better, but nothing will compare to the precious information, tips and tricks you will adhere in this week. With calculation, technically this week genuinely improved my memory by at least 500%! I'm not joking. I use these techniques now on a day to day basis by learning things that I've always wanted to learn, remembering birthdays and phone numbers and dates. I can't emphasise enough how grateful I am for this, since I was always so bad at learning chemistry, for example Organic Synthesis routes always took me ages to memorise and I would eventually forget. I applied the techniques once and I can still recall everything precisely to this day!

Week 4 - Exam efficiency. This week is basically a huge cherry on top of all the incredible details and advice of the course. It mentions quite a few really crucial tips and essential things that will make anyone excel in their exams and, not to mention, it indicates the key things that all top students do. This in-turn, makes you a top-student and get your desired grades.

I want to thank Dr Hugo 1000 times for all the enlightening and highly profitable information that he gives in his course. Singing up to the course took a lot courage and was defiantly the right investment. Dr Hugo has beneficially changed the way I study and perceive information and has actually made memorising a fun activity! All his tips and tricks hacks are really unfair to the others since they provide such a big advantage for you. I hope to truly inspire other people to make a great investment, and thank you again to Dr Hugo and his whole team!

Best regards,

Oscar

After going through the Study Smarter tutorials I have a completely new mindset on how to approach my study inefficiencies. This course has opened my eyes to my study pitfalls and has allowed me to realise how much time i was wasting in my study time. Dr. Hugo taught us how to better spend out time studying so that we are more efficient and can have more free time. The course offers many different and new techniques that I had never heard of before and offers a great perspective! Thank you Dr. Hugo! I will be using the lessons I learnt in many aspects of my life!
