      How to Get the Most Out of School - Irfan Alli

      TABLE OF CONTENTS

      INTRODUCTION

      Whether you are a student in a public school or a full-time religious school, this book will help you to make the most of the years you spend in school - junior high, high school and even college or university.

      It is a collection of tools and techniques that have served me well during my school days and currently helps my four children in their schooling as well.

      Together we will explore a wide array of topics, including: why become the best student you can, planning your time, a system for reading and studying, preparing for tests and exams, goal setting, and many others.

      While the book is written for students, it is my hope that parents will read it as well. This way parents can be a resource for their child. Students will also know that they can seek help from their parents when they need to, as their parents will be better aware of their needs after reading this book. With students and parents working as a team, families can get the most out of the years spent in school.

      While developing the book I conducted several seminars and workshops with students of various ages and interest. This helped in improving the final manuscript. Here are some of their comments:

      I liked the way the ideas were presented and how easily I understood them. (Naweed Khan)

      You should share this information and experience wherever it is possible. (Cislyn Reid)

      Now I know how to study for tests and exams. (Yasmin Ali)

      The aspect of this experience that benefited me most was the SQ3R formula. (Ian Nargdor)

      The various concepts and techniques presented to improve study habits will not only be useful to me in university, but would have made me a better student in high school, had I known about them earlier in life. (Arnold Mohammed)

      It was very well done. I learned how to plan my time and how to make better use of my spare time. (Dilan Jogendra)

      You have enlightened and motivated me to work hard to achieve my goals. (Iqbal Hassan)

      From their comments you will notice I focus on practical skills to maximize learning. Each chapter is short, and includes a small assignment. Please do the assignments.

      I hope that you benefit from the information in this book as those that heard it live did. To help you focus, make a list below of what you expect to gain from this book. Also, as you read, make a list of the ideas and practical suggestions you are not currently using. Put them to work for you and you will get the most out of school, and still have time to enjoy the permissible things in life.

      CHAPTER 1: WHY GET THE MOST OUT OF SCHOOL?

      TO HAVE A GOOD LIFE YOU WILL NEED A DECENT INCOME

      It is no secret that everything we need to be comfortable and have a good life costs money. There are two basic ways to make enough money. One is to have a decent paying job. The second is to establish a successful business. Both require us to study and acquire knowledge.

      MANY CANDIDATES FOR THE SAME JOB

      We live in a time when there are many qualified applicants for the same job opening. This means employers choose the best applicant so the company can have a winning edge over its competition. As a result, employers look for people who are high achievers, take pride in their performance, and are equipped with the right skills and information.

      HIGHER EDUCATION OPENS THE DOOR TO MORE OPPORTUNITIES

      Generally speaking the more knowledgeable you are the more opportunities and options life will present you. You should use your years as a student to learn as much as you can and to go as far as you can in getting a higher education.

      Higher education unlocks opportunities
