The Usefulness of Studying
 |
Description
Book Introduction
"An oasis for those studying alone," "A hit at home," "A book that ignites a passion for studying."
From study mindset to methods, the Seoul National University College of Medicine's top student explains everything about self-study.
He achieved top grades in high school, first place in all sections of the CSAT, first place in all five sections, and was accepted to Seoul National University's College of Medicine at the top of his class! He had never received private tutoring, and while he attended a prep school, he didn't receive any special instruction. How did he achieve these grades? The author's conclusion was that it was the "quantity of self-study" he accomplished in a short period of time after realizing the "usefulness of studying."
Many parents and students mistakenly believe that taking classes is studying.
But the essence of studying is 'doing it alone'.
So, the author felt the need to awaken students to the usefulness of studying and to separately organize the necessity of studying alone and the proper method of studying alone, and published this book, “The Usefulness of Studying.”
As the reader commented, "This book is like an oasis for those studying alone," this book contains study methods that the author, who can be considered to have reached the pinnacle of college entrance exam preparation, personally proved through trial and error.
It is the "best self-study bible" as it contains realistic and practical study advice for those who do not have a habit of studying alone, as well as specific, practical study methods that can be put into practice right away.

Into the book
People unanimously say they want to study well, but most of the time they want to study less and get better results.
However, if you only focus on efficiency and techniques without thinking about studying enough on your own, you can easily miss the most important points.
So, I hope you will erase from your mind the idea of reducing the amount of studying.
The principle is that you have to study a lot on your own.
And more than any other study method, you need to find a way to study more on your own.
--- From the "Preface"
I looked back on myself up until then.
In the past, I was a child who was not good at anything, a child who was not praised by adults, and a child who was ignored by friends.
The only reason I was able to be recognized was because of my studies.
Even after I became a high school student, I was still unable to play sports, fight, and was very timid.
So the only way I could be recognized by those around me was through studying.
Now, being a 'good student' was my identity.
It was also the only source of self-esteem for me.
I never wanted to miss it.
This became the second turning point in my life.
--- From "A Life Changed by Studying, From a Timid Child to Top Student at Seoul National University Medical School"
People tend to completely lose motivation in a match where the outcome is already determined.
If you think that you can't be a good student because you are average, then you are simply giving up on studying.
If you think that it is natural for the student who got first place in the last exam to get first place in this exam as well, then that is what will happen.
So, if you are wondering whether you are smart or not, I want you to stop right now.
It's just finding excuses to avoid studying.
Special days never come for those who want to stay in this state.
--- From "7 Secrets of High School Students Ranking First in Average"
I didn't use a study planner, but this is what helped me complete my study plan.
This is precisely what is meant by 'impatience'.
I was anxious that I had to finish reading the textbook at least three times before the exam.
I was not progressing well enough to cover the amount of study I had planned, and as the exam date approached, I became more and more anxious.
Thanks to that impatience, I was able to complete it as planned.
At Seoul National University College of Medicine, this condition was expressed as ‘hudalrida.’
As the lag increases, that is, as impatience increases, the level of immersion increases.
You won't waste even a moment of time and will just immerse yourself in your studies.
So you can study as planned.
--- From "6 Unique Self-Management Secrets of Study Masters"
Couldn't studying be said to be a process of filling in what you don't know?
But if you just read books or listen to lectures, you won't know exactly what you don't know.
Even if you misunderstand the content, there is no way to know.
But if you solve a lot of problems, you can find your weaknesses.
Solving a problem is like answering a question.
To put it in a broader context, it is similar to the Socratic method of dialogue, which uses questions to help the other person realize their ignorance.
--- From "6 Techniques to Never Fail an Exam"
American psychologist Angela Duckworth presented this formula in her book Grit.
It is said to be a formula that was derived from long-term observations comparing successful people with those who are not.
Skill = Talent x Effort, Achievement = Skill x Effort.
Combining these two formulas gives us the following formula:
Achievement = Talent x Effort 2.
What this formula means is that while innate talent is important for success, acquired effort is doubly important.
But I think that having a strong desire to improve further is itself a talent.
In other words, you already have a basic talent for studying.
I hope that you will believe in your talents and work hard to achieve what you set out to do.
However, if you only focus on efficiency and techniques without thinking about studying enough on your own, you can easily miss the most important points.
So, I hope you will erase from your mind the idea of reducing the amount of studying.

Publisher's Review
'My conscience asks me.
“Did you really study?”
I didn't even know about foreign language high schools or science high schools.
The study secrets of being accepted to Seoul National University Medical School at the top of your class
From the beginning, I wasn't the top student in the entire school.
In elementary school, I was busy playing games and having fun whenever I had free time, and in middle school, I was so happy just being at the top of my class without even knowing about science high schools and foreign language high schools.
Then, everything changed when I took first place in the entire school during the final exams in the first semester of my first year of high school.
The way my teachers and friends looked at me changed.
I realized that I had one talent that I was better at than others, and from then on, studying became my identity and the source of my self-esteem.
That seed of self-esteem became a great opportunity for me to achieve 'top grade in high school average, top grade in all subjects of the CSAT, top grade in all five subjects overall', and even be accepted to Seoul National University College of Medicine as the top student.
He had never received private tutoring, and although he attended a prep school, he didn't receive any special instruction. How did he achieve such success? The author's conclusion was that after realizing the "usefulness of studying," he was able to accomplish this in a short period of time by studying alone.
There is a fact we often forget.
The point is that studying should be a tool, not a goal.
Studying is even more useful if it builds a foundation for living as a proud member of society, such as through entrance exams or various certifications.
And the essence of studying is 'doing it alone'.
The author realized the usefulness of studying, understood the necessity of independent study, and felt the need to provide students with a proper method of independent study, so he published this book, “The Usefulness of Studying.”
"The Usefulness of Studying" is a collection of study methods proven effective through trial and error by the author, who can be considered to have achieved the pinnacle of success in college entrance exams.
It is the 'best self-study bible' as it contains realistic and practical study advice and specific, practical study methods that can be put into practice right away.
For students tired of academies and online lectures, students complaining about poor grades despite studying hard, and students looking to develop the habit of studying on their own during this vacation, this book will serve as a new starting point for their studies.
“Studying is best done alone
“It becomes mine!”
For students who have difficulty studying alone
The best bible for marriage
"The Usefulness of Studying" doesn't teach you how to improve your grades solely through efficiency or techniques, without even thinking about studying a certain amount on your own.
The important thing is that you have to study a lot on your own.

So, studying a lot means spending a lot of time studying on your own, that is, a lot of time studying on your own.
But just as studying hard doesn't always work out, studying alone doesn't always work out either.
If you study alone using the wrong method, you are likely to waste time and give up thinking, "I won't be able to study."
"The Usefulness of Studying" is full of useful tips for independent study, including how to study for those who don't have the habit of studying alone, how much to study, and what determines whether you have fully understood the material learned in class.
It is a level that anyone can practice because it focuses on the essence of studying, rather than requiring expensive curriculum, famous instructors, or complicated study methods.
Students who are good at studying spend a lot of time studying alone.
Because there are rules for studying, but no shortcuts.
If you want to renew your commitment to studying this summer vacation and learn the surefire secret to sustainable grade improvement, "The Usefulness of Studying" will be of great help.
