For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
What was the prediction of the AAT studie
Which method has been used in this study
- double blind, randomized placebo controlled crossover design participants received a single dose of 0.5mg testosterone suspended in clear solution with ethanol, cyclodextrin and distilled water. Placebo contained same ingredients expect testosterone
- liquid under tongue for 60 sec, effects are measurable after 4 to 6 hours after the testosterone intake
What was the discussion of this study
- future research should explore whether testosterone administration reduces social fear and avoidance in social anxiety and may increase therapy efficacy
How is AAT used in this study
- checkerboards (10 yellow and 10 grey) were included as non facial control stimuli resulting in a total of 80 different stimuli
- all participants were instructed to push on yellow stimuli and to pull on gray stimuli and to respond as fast as possible.
Where was the social phobia and anxiety inventory used for
Explain what the social challenge hypothese entails?
Is this in line with the results with the artikel of enter, spinhoven & roelofs (2014)?
NIET IN LINE OMDAT: Social challenge part is not really studied here > so this is not in line with the social challenge hypothese!
What were the main results of this article? (enter, spinhoven & roelofs)
Add testosterone; more approach. Approach behavior increase for angry face, not for happy or neutral faces (adding of testosterone)
Improving testosterone in other levels or administring it will lead to more approach behavior (for people who have social anxiety).
Discussiepunt: only more approach for angry faces, for people who have social anxiety > you don’t want them to only approach the angry faces (but also neutral or happy faces).
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
