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..

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.
How do you call the relative sizes or positions of the descriptors on a scale?
How do you call characteristics of scales that absolute differences between the scale descriptors are known and may be expressed in units?
How do you call the characteristic of scales indicating that the scale has a unique or fixed beginning or true zero points?
How do you call a scale whose numbers serve only as labels or tags for identifying and classifying objects with a strict one-to-one correspondence between the numbers and the objects?
How do you call a ranking scale in which numbers are assigned to objects to indicate the relative extent to which some characteristic is possessed?
How do you call a scale in which the numbers are used to rate objects such that numerically equal distances on the scale represent equal distances in the characteristic being measured?
How do you call the highest-level scale, which allows the researcher to identify or classify objects, rank-order the objects, and compare intervals or differences?
How do you call a comparative scaling technique in which a respondent is presented with two objects at a time and asked to select one object in the pair according to some criterion?
How do you call an assumption mad to convert paired comparison data to rank-order data, which assumes that if brand a is preferred to brand b and brand b is preferred to brand c, then brand a is preferred to brand c?
How do you call a comparative scaling technique in which respondents are required to allocate a constant sum of units such as points, dollars, chits, stickers, or chips among a set of stimulus objects with respect to some criterion?
