ICS Is A Valuable Investment

After being on the ICanStudy course for a few months, I can say it has been an immensely valuable investment. I cannot recommend it enough.

ICS is comprehensive and systematic, with learning techniques that actually work. It goes far beyond surface level tips and tricks, allowing you to have a solid foundation and system for learning. Additionally, I’ve found the process of learning to be significantly more enjoyable and organic since joining the course. Many people have also seen high performance with much less effort.

There is a lot of support available – you can offer and receive feedback on work at any time both by members and coaches. Having direct access to coach support is extremely useful in progressing through the course.

However, this course is challenging. A lot of the techniques are difficult to grasp, and there is a high practice requirement for best results – however, ways to address barriers to this (fixed mindsets, procrastination etc.) are covered. You have to be willing, and able, to consistently put in quality work.

Overall, ICanStudy yields amazing results, both cognitively and with external performance, and I highly recommend it for anyone wishing to improve their learning and/or studying skills.

Benefits I have got categorized based on their nature

I am just 3 months into the course but I have not reached the level I should have bcz of procrastination which I will describe later which has made my progress a bit slow but even that is on the fast track to be solved. I will explain the benefits I have got in the domains of Mindset, Time and Task Mangement, Retention after learning the first time and Revision

So firstly out of those domains the first 2 are learning enablers meaning the enable learning that means if you have issues with them you will not be able to learn that much as if you are like a extremely good learner but you procrastinate most of the time then you will not be able to achieve your personal best learning outcomes similarly if you have bad time and task management you will be learning low priority stuff which would again hinder your ability to achieve your personal best learning outcomes(I say this because personal best is very subjective based on the person's skill level) just this shift of perspective to have the learning enablers take perscendence I think puts everything into perspective of what should be done so well

Mindset: My mindset has completely changed before I felt like a person who just needed to achieve a target and all I would think about is that but I have learned that is not helpful and I have learned to reflect on my weaknesses in all those domains experiment, get feedback from the coaches of the course then apply what I have learned then experiment gain and continue this cycle this has made to go into a rapid improvement cycle like if I was SpaceX rocket and I now view failure as a stepping stone to success and now failure doesn't scare me that much and this has helped a lot in my life outside learning as well to experiment things and also improved my confidence as well

Time and Task Mangement: Before whenever I made schedules I couldn't follow them as the thinking process was not correct but now I have learned how to guage specific factors according to my life and how generally my life goes and I'm able to make schedules I can follow mostly this has helped tremendously as I don't have any pocket of time in which I would susceptible to procrastination as everything is thought through before the week even begins on a sunday and I just have to look at my calendar and my prioritized tasks list and due to the prioritization framework the course teaches I always get the most priority stuff done and throughout the days I am feeling like my load is decreasing

Now we move on to stuff which helps in learning so now my retention after learning first time is like 60-70% it would have been even higher if I had like practiced the techniques even more which I aim to do from now on and also many times I discuss certain topics with my friends and then I ask questions which come up so fast like in a snap which like help me understand whatever I'm learning faster and I have been complemented by many of my friends for like that's a good question and many of my lectures I remember a lot of concepts and details. For me after learning inquiry-based learning is so engaging for like a month I have never felt drowsy while studying, studying has become so enjoyable and engaging!

I think these are all the benefits I have got upto this point but I think I will have even more improvements in the coming months and most people double their efficiency by the end of ascent 3 which I might reach in 1 1/2 month, I am so excited!

Thanks Arun for the review, it's great to hear that you're finding the learning system so enjoyable and exciting! We're keen to hear about even more of your gains and achievements going forward :) Great job on your progress so far!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

as good as advertised

In the beginning I was very sceptical of the course, it's somewhat expensive and it seems too good to be true.
however, as a student with ADHD who never learned how to study, after just a couple week of taking this course I can already feel the development in both mindset and methodology.
While I am still at the early stages of this course, I can say with certainty that it is worth the money if you are willing to put in the work!

Got my grades worse and same for my sister that wasted a semester. Other Books on productivity are better. You cannot learn everything on mindmap not enough space for details. Too expensive too for students and his individual feedback are lacking content, just said that we did the wrong method and no pointers at all. I don’t recommend it.

Hi Thuy, thank you for your review. iCanStudy takes all reviews very seriously to see what we can improve for our learners, so I’d like to confirm with you a few points you mentioned in your review.

First of all, I’m sorry to hear that your grades did not improve after you joined the program. We’ve spent some time reviewing things on our end to see why this could be the case, and what we’ve found is that it appears you haven’t actually been using the learning system we teach. Our records indicate that you’ve only submitted work for feedback from our coaches on one occasion (over a year ago now) and haven’t been reaching out for guidance in other ways such as by engaging with the Discord community; and based on the piece of work that was submitted, it appears that you have not actually attempted to comprehensively apply the techniques taught in the program, as most of the work was in fact left uncompleted and there were strong indications of rushing and selective learning. Most critically, the work indicates that you are not using Kolb’s, which is one of the most important techniques for learners to use - it is a fundamental skill that allows you to improve. Using these techniques produces strong results, as shown by both modern learning science research and our students’ own experiences; therefore it is also to be expected that not using proper techniques will not lead to better results. We strongly recommend that you talk to us for more guidance through any of our available platforms (i.e. via the LMS platform, Discord chat, live clinic sessions, email correspondence, expert feedback submission, etc.).

Our records also indicate that you were given comprehensive coach feedback on your work, although you’ve mentioned that you received “no pointers at all” - for reference, the feedback mainly centred around 2 action points, which were: 1) to download the Kolb’s worksheet and use it to develop the skills; and 2) to do a skills audit, as instructed in the program. These two points will both still be helpful for you to carry out now, so we encourage you to give them a try.

To also clarify what you’ve mentioned in relation to mind maps, i.e. that “you cannot learn everything on mindmap not enough space for details” - if you take a moment to look back at the lessons in the online program, you’ll find that what we teach very early on in the program is actually spaced interleaved retrieval, which is an important technique to support students’ learning. Mind maps is an approach that is only taught later on, and is only part of the overall learning system; in fact, it is clearly stated that mind maps will not help with everything because you still need to carry out other steps like revising and doing practice questions.

In short, we strongly encourage you to follow the program guidelines and attempt the techniques so that you can start to see the results you were hoping for. If yourself or your sister are having issues, please reach out so that we can work through any difficulties with you - as mentioned above, you’re welcome to submit your work for feedback through the various free or paid methods of submission we have available.

Hi John,

Thank you for your review.

iCanStudy takes all reviews very seriously, especially for issues as serious as yours – as such, we have taken some time to investigate what’s happened here, and I’d like to take this opportunity to discuss with you a few things you mentioned in your review.

With regards to not being able to access the program videos and other materials, we have not received any reports of students being locked out from the platform. The most likely explanation for what has happened here is that you may have missed some instructions in the early stages: this does not happen very often, as the instructions are kept simple and presented clearly at the beginning of the program, however I can understand that it’s still possible that you may have gotten stuck at this stage somehow. The main first step you need to take is to complete the diagnostic quiz at the top of your dashboard. Completing this quiz is required to understand how you will need to approach the program specifically for you. Please log in again and make sure to complete it so that you can continue.

Just as a reminder, please also note that before joining the program, you would have read and agreed to the information presented on this page (https://icanstudy.com/before-you-buy/), which explains that videos in the program are locked until you complete the previous lesson or until you reach a certain stage. Specifically, it reads, “The program is sequential. Over several years, we've found that to learn our methods correctly, you have to follow a certain sequence of skill development.” and “The program is time-gated*. The minimum possible time to complete all of the lessons is 49 days. We lock progress when we see that you might be going through lessons too quickly. Note that our time-gating is extremely generous, and 49 days is still incredibly fast. On average, even our most experienced learners take over 150 days!”

Having lessons unlock sequentially is very common practice, and in fact, we’ve intentionally designed the program this way to make sure that you are completing everything in order; otherwise, you could find yourself trying to learn an advanced technique without having learned the basic foundations required for it first, which would be very detrimental to your learning as you may end up just learning the techniques incorrectly and form poor habits. We teach the program in a sequential order that is optimised for learners entering the program to ensure they see incremental progress consistently and reliably, and as soon as possible.

If you’re experiencing any kind of issue with the program, including issues with accessing the content (as you mentioned in your review), we strongly encourage you to reach out and let us know. After carrying out an internal investigation, we have not been able to find anyone in our program with your name (“John Friedman”), nor do we have any record of our coaches or support team receiving any communications from you. Please remember that we’re always here and happy to help, but we can only do so if you let us know you’re having an issue!

There are also thousands of other members going through the program and seeing great success, and they will also be very happy to support and engage with you through our active Discord community.

In short: please let us know if you’re having any issues and we’ll be happy to help. Rather than giving up and feeling disappointed, we hope that you will be able to work through the program, as the rest of the community is doing, and see the same great results for your learning too!

Make sure to complete the diagnostic quiz, as I’ve mentioned above, and reach out if you have any questions.

iCanStudy is a game changer.

What made the great experience?
The course is very well structure. It build up from fundamental techniques to very helpful techniques to tackle various aspects of study. There are many techniques introduce to help student learn better that if practice well will be the game changer for everyone.

It implements the time block so you must consolidate and review the techniques that you learn before moving on so it create a solid foundation system for studying and make sure the student not rushing ahead.

The system made student to be very well organise and creating studying habit that works.

The discord communities are very helpful to each other make it interesting to study and come for feedback.

What the company doing well?
Well structure course. Trying to build a great foundation for student. Shift student mentality toward study. Trying to build a long term goal for study. Great discord community. Great support system for student. Live Clinic. Demonstration of techniques.

What the company doing not well?
The website is written in Wordpress and it has many issues in login and other technical issues(I have to log in twice to make the video play, I have to refresh the log in page to able to log in. Click on complete the session didn't make the content of the next page available you have to return to previous page and come back to next page to make it available). This; however, is the issue of company that build the website and not the content teach in the course.

Life-changing experience

Just after joining this course for 2 weeks, I already combatted my procrastination issues, and also changed my mindset about learning, that learning is really an exciting process, and not mundane or boring. I'm looking forward to learn more about learning how to learn on this course. Thanks ICS!

Truly A Life-Changing Experience with iCanStudy

For a long time, I felt like I was constantly racing against time in my academic pursuits. The stress of exams left me overwhelmed and feeling like a failure. But everything changed when I discovered iCanStudy.

iCanStudy completely transformed my approach to learning with its comprehensive study system. It opened my eyes to study techniques I didn't know existed before. It gave me the skills and confidence to tackle any subject head-on, which was a big change from my previous academic journey, which was often difficult and chaotic.

Calling iCanStudy "life-changing" is an understatement. It not only reshaped my educational experiences but also changed the way I view learning as a whole. I truly believe that other students can benefit greatly from this innovative approach to studying, just like I did.

I rarely write reviews, but iCanStudy is an exception because it's more than just a course - it has the potential to revolutionize our educational system. If the things I learned through iCanStudy were incorporated into schools, it could bring about a significant positive change in how we approach education as a society.

In summary, iCanStudy is an incredibly transformative experience that I highly recommend. It's not just a tool for personal growth, but a potential catalyst for a revolution in education.
