Competitive, live-or-die environments will always have a group that will not be able to survive those environments. It's true- you can only do your best. The problem I have is when a student is capable but doesn't know how. If for exactly that student that I built studyswami.com But I've never really seen anyone listen to a struggling student Then you've obviously never been a struggling student in my class. Advice on how to study better is not needed. Yes- it is. There is a lot of info out there about how to do it that isn't filtering down. There is also something very weird going on that I personally don't understand. There is a reluctance on the part of the student to change what they do. That reluctance may actually be the root of the problem. Somehow, they will listen to a trainer tell them how to bench press, but they won't listen to a professor tell them how to study. Very weird, and something I'm actively trying to overcome. EDIT to add: Indeed there are competitive environments, but most colleges that I'm aware of don't want to see their students fail.
