Last Time’s Study Tip…Mother Sends Email of Real, Live Results for Her High Schooler
Originally sent May 2022
Our newsletter subscribers (aka you!) are the best. THE BEST.
Want to see the definition of immediate results? Well it happened last week.
If you recall, a recent newsletter was about high school study habits, including my 50/10 on/off method.
At the end we said the following:
If, after reading this, you convince your high schooler to try the 50/10 tactic, snap a photo of them completing the challenge. Email the photo to us and we'll gift you the following, should you be interested:
We'll mail one of Cal Newport’s books of your choosing to your house free of charge, they’re on us, just write to us and tell us which one you want
Not soon after we sent out that challenge, we received this email:
This case study originally highlighted in May 2022
The 50/10 method in action! (And props to Amy for the hidden but not-so-hidden stairwell photo…can’t be distracting those dedicated students while they’re in a deep-work session, of course.)
Props to you, Amy, for taking this lesson back to not just your high schooler…but others as well…and seeing it immediately implemented. (And thanks for giving me permission to share with this community).
Do you think your high schooler could benefit from a solid foundation like Amy’s has? One that starts with real, tangible high school study habits…and eventually transitions to ultra-organized, streamlined, college planning? If so, feel free to connect with us here and we’ll talk about your specific situation.
Not quite ready to meet? No worries. Feel free to learn from other families who were in your shoes.
Happy studying, APUSH group!
To your college planning success,

P.S. - Have a high-performing high schooler w/ a 3.7 GPA or higher? We specialize in changing the lives of students just like this, giving them the right structure, mentorship, and accountability to excel in high school...and ultimately gain admission into the college of their dreams. We do it year after year after year. It's not rocket science. But it is a science.
P.P.S - Our most common question is "When should we start?!" The answer is, if you truly care about giving your high schooler the best chance of college planning success, you should start NOW. 9th grade is not too early to start! 10th grade is certainly not too early to start! And 11th grade is far, far too late! (supporting data here to show just how much of an advantage you give your child by starting the process early).
