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.
True or false: Diurnal range is the difference between the hottest and coldest months of the year.
What are the 4 vineyard management techniques that are used to control frost.
- Thoughtful vineyard design
- Heaters
- Wind machines
- Sprinklers

Rainfall is the most important source of water but, if it is insufficient, then it can be supplemented with irrigation if local law permits. Name the 3 main irrigation techniques from most advanced to cheapest
- Drip irrigation: Each vine has its own dripper that is computer controlled
- Sprinklers: Still widely used, but they waster a lot of water. Can also be used for frost protection.
- Flood irrigation: only possible on flat or very gently sloped vineyards and with access to large quantities of water.
What are the 2 main water hazards?
- Drought
- Short time: vine stops transpiration to keep resources
- long time: water stress resulting in stop of photosynthesis. Leaves wilt and grapes fail to ripen.
- Too much water
- Vine will continue growing shoots and leaves during ripening season, leaving less sugar for ripening grapes.
- Increase of shading because of the extra shoots and leaves restricting grape ripening.
- Waterlogged soil can cause the roots to become saturated and die.
Name 3 factors affecting sunlight.
- Latitude: Day length during summer is longer when vineyard is further away from the Equator. Extra sunlight helps grapes ripening in cool climate areas.
- Seas and lakes: Vineyards near large bodies of water experience more cloud cover.
- Aspect: Steeper slopes benefit more from sunlight. The further away from the Equator the more benefit there is in steeper slopes catching more sunlight.

These climates are characterised by cool to moderate temperatures and a low annual difference between the hottest and coldest months. Rainfall tends to be evenly spread throughout the year.
Example: Bordeaux
These climates have the greatest difference in temperature between the hottest and coldest months. Short summers with a large, rapid temperature drop in autumn.
Examples: Chablis, Champagne, Belgium
These climates have a low temperature difference between the hottest and coldest months, but the summers are warm and dry.
Examples: The Mediterranean, Coastal California, Chile, South Africa and South East Australia.
