How to Conquer the Tyranny of Exams
Professional Training
Paul
J Hughes
Norwalk, Connecticut
A teaching experience at a local community college changed my life and the lives of many of my students.
I discovered that some of my "good students" were struggling to get good grades on exams. And they were unconsciously "programming" themselves for repeated failure.
I chose one student who studied hard for the mid-term exam and got a 67. And gave her a well-known simple minutes-a-day reading exercise adapted for exams.
Two weeks later she scored 16 points higher on a quiz.
Other students who read the daily reading exercise had the same kind of results.
In addition to better grades all the students I spoke to reported new-found self-esteem and confidence as a result of their success.
As a result of my successes I wrote and published "Change Your Grades, Change Your Life" - a quick-read illustrated booklet that details how and why the method works.
My days now are spent being a guest host on radio and TV shows whose hosts are uniformly amazed by the success stories I describe to them. And how students and everyone else can benefit from my approach.

Author - "Change Your Grades, Change Your Life"
Are you one of those people who want to “be all you can be”?
To live a meaningful life in all the ways that matter to you?
And realize your potential to the highest level of your abilities?
There are people who live that kind of life.
A life they “self-actualized” over time.
They did it by having a clear vision of the end result.
And they held that vision through the trial and error periods of feeling “stuck” with no place to go.
It happens in our personal lives.
And in our lives helping and managing others in business.
Now there’s a way to get on a faster track to self-actualization.
A way that cuts through some of the trial and error process.
And “programs” you to “self-actualize” faster.
Here’s just one example of how powerful the process can be:
An exercise I created for students who were getting poor grades on exams resulted in dramatic improvement - almost overnight.
Not to mention newfound self-esteem and confidence about themselves.
Do you have a vision for your life?
If so, get in touch to arrange a complimentary phone consultation to share your thoughts – and get your questions answered.
