“They study for hours longer than everyone else.” Instead of measuring the quality of a study session in hours, the real differentiator is actually the level of focus and the chosen method. As in, a deeply focused 90-minute session with certain techniques can beat six hours of passive, semi-distracted re-reading.
“They don’t need help.” 1% students are actually often the most proactive about seeking help, and are not afraid to ask for assistance. This can include tutoring, feedback, and AI tools, which they treat as part of their learning system.
These myths matter because they can make academic success feel out of reach – but as you’ll see below, the strategies we’re about to outline treat learning as a process that anyone can improve through practice and feedback.
Students need to be told exactly what is expected of them. For example, it isn’t alright to leave an exam early. You must stay and check your work and improve it…every time. Statements like, “Try your best” can’t be measured. “Improve by 5% using these particular strategies” is better. Likewise, specific feedback is incredibly important to students. A mark of 7/10 and a comment of ‘good’ achieves nothing. It fails to tell the student how to improve. Similarly, staff need specific feedback and coaching. Successful schools have a culture of strong professional development and feedback.
Kids see the way staff treat each other and that is what they mimic. They also see teachers learning; getting further qualifications, doing professional reading, learning from each other, learning from students and learning from mistakes. In good schools, staff are involved at a systemic level. An academic leader in the school should have marked external exams and been on committees and focus groups that help determine the future of education. A school needs its finger on the pulse.
1% students know that motivation can be there one day and then gone the next, which is why it’s so critical to build a study system around routines, which make studying easier to both start and also maintain.
Teen expert Daniel Wong, the bestselling author of The Happy Student: 5 Steps to Academic Fulfillment and Success, talks about how it starts with being organised: “Getting straight A’s every time requires a good amount of organisation and planning on your part, so that you’re always prepared to do your best.”
