Course Description

Why do some students get straight A's while barely doing any work while others spend painful hours in the library and still get B's and C's?

In this course, I'll show you the step by step system and hacks ALL straight A students use to do well in school with little to no stress while spending more time doing the things they want. Inside, we'll cover the entire formula and explain concepts such as the 'Golden Pyramid', the '6 Beat College rules' and hacks such as 'how to get others to study for you and thank you for it'.

Here is the full curriculum for this course:

  1. Part 1 - YOU -- In the first 4 videos, you'll learn simple changes you need to make to how you think -- changes I learned from a plastic surgeon from the 1960's -- to instantly get better grades
  2. Part 2 - PRINCIPLES -- In the next 3 videos, you'll learn the 6 rules you NEED to follow if you want straight A's while spending most of your time hanging out with friends
  3. Part 3 - The 7 Step Formula - In this section, I'll show you the exact 7 steps every straight A student follows -- and how to do each.
  4. Part 4 - 'The Secret Strategy to Cut Your Study Time in Half' - You'll learn a discovery I made after Kobe Bryant's best game of his career that let me cut my studying in half or more
  5. Part 5 - How to Hack Tests, Essays, Projects, Presentations and Homework
  6. Bonus Videos
    1. My Favorite 'Beat College Hacks'
    2. Beating Procrastination
    3. The Top 10 GPA Killing Mistakes
    4. How To Become a Learning Machine
    5. Mastering Time Management
    6. How To Naturally Have Really High Energy Levels
    7. How To Take Great Class Notes (but why going to class is optional)
    8. How To Schedule Your Classes
    9. How To Take The Test Like a Champ

I was so frustrated with all the hoops I had to jump through in college that I felt weren't going to help be succeed later in life that I spent 2 years following around straight A students and reading 231 books on high performance. My goal with this course is to help you realize that there is a better (and more efficient) way to go about your college education.

I'm On A Quest To Give You The Education You'll Never Get In School.

The things that the world's highest achievers spent their entire lives discovering, that no professor or teacher will ever tell you.

Because when I was in college, I was mad. I’d just read a book and everything inside was the opposite of what I was learning in all my classes.

So I ran into the dean’s office and said "I'm literally learning more from the books I get on Amazon for five bucks than these classes that cost thousands of dollars each!"

And all she had to tell me is...they're working on it!

So when I walked out that day, I swore I’d teach myself the things I should have learned in school. And I started reading LOTS of books….now over a thousand on everything from meditation to making money. And I realized ONE BIG THING…

Everyone who’s excelled in any area of life knew things we’re never taught in school.

They were Insiders.

They discovered the truth about finding their purpose and creating a perfect vision to work towards. Or about motivation and productivity, financial freedom, having authentic relationships, changing the world, persuading people, learning incredibly quickly or celebrating their hundredth birthday still in perfect health.

Stupid course! Don't waste your time and money on this course. You will learn almost nothing.

By Brian madden on 10/21/2018

Excellent intro to so many things that all need to be practised but which I am sure will pay dividends. Although the course is directed to attendees at American colleges, most info is relevant to the real world.

By Jacob Hurrell on 1/20/2017

I really enjoyed this course. While I believe there is room for course refinement, the material is well presented. A very good choice for any student, in particular if you are inexperienced in the power of choosing your mindset. I found it to be a needed refresher on various topics. I also learned many new concepts that I look forward to applying in my studies, some of which caused me to have to pause the video in order to really reflect. $ well spent.

Really great information, however, one thing that really bothered me during the entire course was the beeping sound in the background (sounded like a smoke detector that had a low battery). That seriously swayed my focus from the subject matter, when I tried my best to ignore it, I actually picked up some great tips! Thanks!

For someone who study in s.t.e.m. this is a bunch of bluff nothing useful. I knew it was too good to be true. maybe would work for someone who study liberal arts or business marketing.

By Jared Slater on 11/20/2015

This is an awesome course! I honestly feel more prepared to reach my goal of getting straight A's in college. It's never too late to start improving. The teacher is very engaging and clearly explains each point that he is presenting. It's been very easy for me to follow. I wouldn't hesitate to take another course from him.

By Puttadon Balee on 10/19/2015

Thank you Brandon. I have got a lot of study technique which I can apply into my study. The course is very useful, especially for struggling learners. I will certainly use every technique I gained from the course to achieve my study goal in the future.

By Marjolein Boerebach on 7/31/2015

This course is fun to watch and it really got me started 3 weeks before the finals, i was procrastinating because I didn't know how and what to do. Now I do. Let's see if my results improve. Brendon is very helpful and his responstime for questions is great!

By Joseph Justin on 12/23/2014

If you think every class in college is extremely important and you want to spend your time in school making sure you perfectly learn everything, this probably isn't for you. But if you think some classes in college are a waste of time, and more importantly, that you won't be taught a lot of things you need to learn to succeed in college, then I couldn't recommend this more. It's not just tips to succeed in college, but good tips and strategies to help you succeed in life. Really great course.

By Shana on 12/12/2014

Im about half way done with the course and I'm pretty impressed that this isn't just the run of the mill advice you'd usually hear like "just work harder". Biggest takeaway so far is how most things in school are actually pass / fail and how to spot one of those things. I could see how just that alone will save me a lot of time. excited to go through the rest of this. Also love the breakdown of how to study
