Study Smarter Academy  Reviews 41

I have truly enjoyed every module of this program! I am so happy I decided to invest in this program. It has been the best decision I have made. This program is not just about study techniques but it also coincides with personal development. Taking action and sticking to that commitment is key with this program.
Unfortunately, I joined this program two weeks before my final exams so I wasn't able to apply everything I was learning from the modules. However, I was still able to make some changes that I know will help me be successful in my future endeavours.
Dr. Hugo brings you to focus and self-reflect to figure out the source of your problems and then provides excellent tips on how to improve. I have noticed I have a stronger foundation due to the change of my mindset and standards. I never realized how much this affected not only my study habits but my life in general.
I used the memorisation techniques for certain portions of my studying for finals and I was able to recall everything quickly. I can still recall everything at this moment. This surprised me since I had been struggling with remembering information. I can't go back to my ineffective studying methods now.
The techniques and tools are fun, engaging, and easy to follow. I can’t wait to apply all this knowledge I’ve learned to succeed in my studies and in my personal development.

My experience with this course has been quite informational, the members were all active and friendly, and Dr. Hugo genuinely seems invested in helping everyone enroll succeed. This course is not a quick fix to any school/university problems regarding exam grades. However, it’s a step by step process that takes time. I love how the content is a lifetime after the first initial purpose. I was skeptical when I first saw this program, but after trying it out myself, I am not disappointed. Hard work, commitment, and the right attitude will make this program fun and educational.

I used the reward loop hack and it keeps me accountable with my work. I noticed I have been using my time much more efficiently and not just sitting for so many hours not getting much done. I also use the breaking down method which really helped me greatly. Signing up for your course has helped me to do more things that i enjoy and also use my time more efficiently.

First of all, this study smarter program has been an eyeopener. For one thing, I was able to be more productive and get into the zone meaning I was able to focus on what's important in my peak hours in 3 hours time. I am also developing a habit of committing one hour a day for personal development. I am organizing my time more with how I study and my mindset has completely transformed the past 28 days. My logic to tackling my studies has changed so much and it has helped me a lot in how to focus on the important aspects of my study methods and targeting my strengths and weaknesses and using active recall to help with my memorization. All the tools that I received from Study Smarter Academy have been very useful and I will be continuing to use these tools not just for study/education life but for my personal development as well.

Study Smarter Academy is helpful and you will achieve the results you intend to achieve with all the help offered. You will have support from Dr. Hugo and he will answer all your questions in the Facebook community provided for the members.
Every penny is worth it and I have learned much in the program that school does not even teach or talk about at all. If I learned everything that is provided in Study Smarter Academy earlier than 19 y/o, I would have been in Law School by now.
I have improved my memory, my study efficency and I manage my time better and have improved my schedule planning. The things I´ve learned have helped me change my bad study habits and replace them with good ones and I am still working on improving myself every day.
I used to always procrastinate and spend time watching Netflix then realize I only had two days until my exam and I crammed until the last minute before the exam and that resulted in a bunch of unnecessary stress, anxiety, and poor grades.
With the help of THE INNER CIRCLE study system program, I have stopped procrastinating and I study regularly with much less stress because I know that I have learned everything I am supposed to learn and my exam will have a good outcome.
I have also got to know myself better, changed my mindset, gained knowledge, good grades, and I have gained spare time to spend with my family and friends.

Such an amazing course! The tutorials are clear and simple yet so effective. All the methods and techniques are so unique to any other studying course out there. As long as you are committed to changing yourself, this course will blow your mind away. I myself have been amazed at how much I can improve my memory in just watching a short video. Dr Hugo makes you realise your root problems in order to help you and will give tips on how to improve them to allow you to study smarter. It is an extremely friendly community where everyone is willing to help, mentor to student or student to student as everyone is or has been in the same boat before. Definitely recommend this course to anyone who is looking for ways to improve their grades, or trying to free up time from just studying while maintaining excellent grades!

Wow, just wow. I am so glad I invested the time and money into this course because oh my has it been an incredible 4 weeks of change and self-discovery. Let me just break it down for you:

Week 1 - Mindset. I did not realise how important this was in order to get on with the techniques and procrastination. You won't be able to find the valuable information and tools anywhere else to gain the perfect mindset for your goal orientated grades. Before, when I procrastinated around 3-4 hours of 5 hours of work, I would look up the tricks on how to not procrastinate on Youtube. And yes of course, while the tips given are helpful, they are just so mind-numbingly obvious and don't help at all (e.g focus on your work and getting it done/put your phone away so it doesn't distract you). I feel like this part has those actual secrets and tricks which actually help you.

Week 2 - Study Planning. This section is all about being as efficient as possible when you study. It is clear and concise and you will come out of the week thinking "why have I never tried that??" or "Holy mole, I'm going to be so ahead of everyone!!". It is really good advice and I will defiantly be using it to excel in my studies.

Week 3 - Memorisation Techniques. Oh... my.... god.... This week absolutely blew my mind! You can search the internet for hours and try to find ways to memorise a bit better, but nothing will compare to the precious information, tips and tricks you will adhere in this week. With calculation, technically this week genuinely improved my memory by at least 500%!!! I'm not joking... I use these techniques now on a day to day basis by learning things that I've always wanted to learn, remembering birthdays and phone numbers and dates. I can't emphasise enough how grateful I am for this, since I was always so bad at learning chemistry, for example Organic Synthesis routes always took me ages to memorise and I would eventually forget. I applied the techniques once and I can still recall everything precisely to this day!

Week 4 - Exam efficiency. This week is basically a huge cherry on top of all the incredible details and advice of the course. It mentions quite a few really crucial tips and essential things that will make anyone excel in their exams and, not to mention, it indicates the key things that all top students do. This in-turn, makes you a top-student and get your desired grades.

I want to thank Dr Hugo 1000 times for all the enlightening and highly profitable information that he gives in his course. Singing up to the course took a lot courage and was defiantly the right investment. Dr Hugo has beneficially changed the way I study and perceive information and has actually made memorising a fun activity! All his tips and tricks hacks are really unfair to the others since they provide such a big advantage for you. I hope to truly inspire other people to make a great investment, and thank you again to Dr Hugo and his whole team!

Best regards,

This course has changed my life, not only in my studies but also life in general. Over the years I tried various different methods to try and get better grades from increasing my study hours, taking more notes trying flashcards etc. but I would always fall behind from the cohort when it came to studying and keeping up with lecture content. There was barely a large increase in my grades even if I tried studying more than the previous year.

I initially spent about 6 months looking at the course structure of study smarter academy and wondering whether I should invest in this program but I have to say I do not regret investing in this program one tiny bit. It has been the best thing that happened to me.

Throughout the 28 days I learned so much valuable knowledge from the tutorials such as the subject scoping techniques, the procrastination techniques, the overarching law and the 7 deadly sins. They were a few of the things that really had a large impact on me.

I now have a new and developed mindset that is stronger and more prepared for my studies and life in general. The way I view my studies has really changed as I don't focus on studying for more hours anymore, which was what I inevitably thought would account to better grades. I now also stand by the 1% rule of doing at least a minimum 1% of small personal development/ improvement every day!!

The subject scoping techniques have really changed the way I study as well and I don't even have to worry about if I'm studying the right information anymore - the subject scoping excel sheet tells me if its relevant or not straight away!! In the past I always used to worry if I had covered all the content and I never had a visual representation of it, which added so much uncertainty but now, everything is right in front of me and I don't have to waste my time visiting a new webpage for each module to find something I haven't studied.

The best thing about this program is the fact that the tutorials can be used not just for your studies but also with your daily life. It really differentiates this program from others and the amount of support given through emails and the Facebook community is incredible.

During these 28 days, I have learned a lot. But what impacted me most was probably the subject scoping technique and the knowledge based timetable. It's amazing how I feel much more in control of my studies. For once I wasn't stressed for an exam because I knew I had to complete all the learning objectives. The procrastination tool has helped me a lot to fight procrastination where I needed it most. Reducing friction by breaking the tasks, the accoutability hacks and the reward hack loop are all techniques that have greatly helped me fight procrastination. In addition, the fear neutralization techniques by naming 10 advantages of having bad grades and 10 disadvantages of having good grades greatly helped me to fight my fear of failure and to feel less stressed before exams. In general, my experience in Study Smarter Academy helped me a lot to prepare for college next year. Thank you so much!

Wow-what can I say! I have just finished this program, and it's truly life-changing. It's terribly honest and realistic, addressing the real problems I had with my study and mindset in general.
One big problem that this program has helped me tackle is procrastination! I don't waste time procrastinating like I used to. Now I get anything I want to get done straight away.

I have new study techiques that are effective and not time-consuming. Which creates more time for the things I enjoy and want to do. I now want to study more, especially because now I know how to study effectively. I can also set time to study, using 95% of the time as opposed to 10% and even less.

Once you join, you have access to the content forever. Which is awesome as I can always go over things I need to refresh in my mind. I have a massive appreciation for Dr Hugo for sharing his tips and secrets in this well-constructed program that only works if you want to "study smarter".

The greatest thing about this program is how transferable everything is to other areas of your life. I joined this program to help with my studies; instead, I got a complete mind makeover. Which has positively changed all aspects of my life and revolutionised the way I study.

This course is life changing!!!
I discovered this course around September 2020 from my sister who showed me the webinar from Instagram. I watched the whole one hour and I was immediately amazed. The different concepts that were discussed left me wanting more. Examples include 80/20 rule Parkinson’s law, study efficiency, procrastination and etc.

After watching the webinar I immediately went onto ways to join the course and I would 100% recommend the inner circle. I like it so much I actually got my sister to join and she always agrees that it is indeed fantastic!

Within the inner circle there is a wonderful community of people you can ask any questions to and you can give testimonials. Everyone is really supportive and Dr Hugo(and team)are very engaging. Your questions and queries will be answered and you won’t have to wait days without getting answers.

I have learned the importance of routine, which I now implement in my day to day life and with online learning it helps so much, how to beat procrastination!, unlimited study motivation, unearthed my study inefficiencies, increased my memory ten fold( I can recite all the 46 presidents), and so many more wonderful things. Most importantly i built a good foundation to build all these things on. And this valuable information I have never seen anywhere. I and seen basics but never to this level!

I am so grateful to learn so much from Dr Hugo. I can recall the content during my exam calmly after practising active recall and spaced repetition.
The HILE memory method is very useful and it makes the whole memorising process so much easier.
Currently, I am still working on the HILE numbering system so I can grasp it better and intend to use the reward heck method next to boost my efficiency even more!

After going through the Study Smarter tutorials I have become obsessed with personal development and wanting to excel in my studies while also having more free time.

I can honestly say this course has opened my eyes and created a shift in my mindset. The most valuable thing I received was a new mindset about my own study inefficiencies and now I know how to improve them.

The program absolutely changed my perspective on studying and excelling in academics. Dr. Hugo teaches principles and concepts that are not taught by any university and provides resources that can be applied at any education level. I highly recommend the training for anyone that is either struggling academically or wants to improve their study-life balance. Well worth the costs!

This has helped me so much and given me the tools and motivation to improve my study habits and take action that actually works. I've learned to have a growth mentality constantly improve myself by 1% each day. A lot of what is taught doesn't only apply to studying but also to life, helping to create a practical balance.
I went from not knowing how to study, to being confident that I could achieve the goals I set for myself.

So many things have changed since I began SSA. Most notably, I don't fear for my future anymore. I know that no matter how hard people say university and life may be, I have the knowledge and determination to overcome it. My mindset is a lot more focused on growth and improvement than it was before. I saw incredible progress in my mindset, in my study planning, in my memory and in reducing my anxiety for exams. I have this huge study smarter knowledge bank in my mind, and I can't wait to use it and see where it takes me. Looking at it from the surface, I still have many bad study habits. But I know now that I can make that 1% change every day to grow so that when we come out of this pandemic I can soar. This course, which I stumbled upon by chance in an Instagram ad, has changed my life forever and how I look at my future. My hopes for my life aren't so far away anymore. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to improve not only their studies but their life in general.

This course has given me so much more than just better grades since Dr. Hugo instills the aspects of a growth mindset in us, enabling us to decide what it is that's important to us. Personally, I've been taught to come up with new goals that I can look forward to, as well as how I need to manage my time to do so. This course taught me to think ahead and it even shows you HOW you can get to your destination. I am really glad that I signed up for this course because now I have found what I want to pursue in my life.

I first came across this program in grade 12 of high school and I was a little bit doubtful about it. One thing that also discouraged me was that, I was a straight A student and I was determined to use the same studying habits I have always used to continue my studies in the university. I paid for this program regardless with thoughts that my younger siblings will be able to benefit from it also, but I did not go through it. After getting so many studying strategies from the university before classes started to prepare me and other students for the tests, exams and other things, I decided to actually see what the program is about, but after looking at how many modules I will need to go through I became scared and lazy so I just kept it away. However, after the studying habits I had used in high school did not work as efficiently for my university classes, I began to feel guilt because there is a secret elevator (study smarter) I know of that can help me get to the first floor of this 50 story building (good grades) faster, but I chose to use the stairs. Even when I got so frustrated, tired, felt like a failure and did not want to continue, I still did not use the elevator. It was after my first semester I then told myself that I need to do better, not only for myself, but for my younger siblings who look up to me as an inspiration to continue to push further in their education. However, I tend to procrastinate a lot especially if it has little or nothing to do with a deadline or school related. I was grateful and happy when I found out about the 28 Day accountability program because I knew that this will definitely keep me on my feet and will help me stay focused because I have to show that I did it.
I never thought that much about my life outside studying because I did not see the point of it. Why would I spend my time talking with my friends and family when I can use that time to study and learn more? To worsen this, I am an introvert so that just justifies everything I felt. I had never thought of balancing my studying habits and my life outside studying until Dr.Hugo explain how important it is. My parents always told me my friends will still be there when I need them and if not I can just make other friends, but I will be unable to make up for the time I lost if I do not study. I chose to follow that advice to the extreme and most of the times I am kept in the dark of whatever fun things my friends have been enjoying.
Another thing Dr.Hugo made me realize is that, I need to take action. Now, this is something I struggle with. I tell myself, "Okay, today I will do this, I will do that." However, before the blink of an eye it is already 9pm and I have done none of those things. This goes hand-in-hand with me being a procrastinator and all. I have all this great plans in my head and how to achieve them, but I do not move a muscle. I also get distracted easily and would blame my siblings for being too loud, my parents for making me run errand when I have finally settle down and forced myself to actually study. Dr.Hugo said, "Focus on what you can control and do not try to change things that are out of your control." I do the opposite of this and I have never thoughts deeply of this until he mentioned it. I have decided to take full responsibilities for my actions and not blame others because that is not what successful people do.
Finally, I am black and to my family, failure is not an option. They have this look of, "Once a failure, always a failure." I advise others to embrace their failures, but I do not do that because I know the consequences and judgement I would face at home. Also, I have always felt pressure because most people that know me believe I am so smart and things like studying should be easy for me. I should be able to understand what is taught in class without thinking much or having a question to ask. This made me develop a distance between me and my teachers. I will be so nervous and unable to ask questions in class even though my teachers would encourage me and say "Only the smartest students ask questions." This could not beat the fact that my friends and class mates believe that if a topic is difficult for me to understand, then they will never understand. So, I hide it anytime I do not understand things and will study until late at night so I can explain to those who do not understand later. I did not want to lose that effect I have on them and seem like a failure. I also do not want to disappoint my parents who have high hopes for me. I came across lots of issues that are related to me in not just studying, but in life too. It was like Dr. Hugo knows me personally more than anyone else, not even me knew myself that deeply or want to know myself because I am scared of what I might discover. Dr.Hugo forced me to look at the deepest part of myself and when I go through each modules, it is like I am looking at my reflection in the mirror.

Striving for success in my studies, I sought to develop a robust system for studying. This is when I came across Study smarter academy. What they offer is truly brilliant, a thorough system that is applicable to any field of study, meaning everyone can benefit from this. Every single aspect of learning and revision is covered, including the major players of procrastination and deciding what to revise and when. They’re mantra is simple, study smarter yielding better results but studying less to give you as much free time as possible. They take you on a journey to discovering what may be going wrong in your method of studying and how to improve it exponentially. I urge you to give them a try, there’s absolutely nothing to lose but so much to gain. If you’re serious about your studies, study smarter academy is the answer.

I stumbled across Dr. Hugo’s courses on a ad on Instagram, and me being a biomedical science student in need of help I decided to follow the ad to the webinar. The lessons shared in the webinar convinced me to pay for the course and it brought great insights. I can see that there is great material on it, my only problem is that I struggled to actually engage with the material as I am a pro procrastinator. Regardless of this, the Facebook group is very active and encouraging! I would highly recommend the course.
