Summary

This book is devoted to "rapid score improvement."

After in-depth interviews with 100 top students at Tsinghua and Peking Universities, the author found that many of them were not always at the top of their class; rather, at a certain stage they used the right scientific methods to improve their scores quickly in a short period and ultimately gained admission to elite schools.

The author therefore studied the common features of these top students' methods, summarized a "rapid score improvement method," and wrote this book. In it, the author sets out a scientific plan for improving scores, offers 8 major strategies, more than 20 practical tools, and a step-by-step ladder suited to students at every score level. Whatever their current level, readers can find a rapid improvement method that fits them.

If your current study methods are not producing obvious results, try the methods in this book—they are sure to surprise you.

Editor's review

This book's distinctive strength is that it treats "score improvement" as a technical task that can be broken down, planned, and executed, rather than as vague encouragement to work harder. Drawing on interviews with 100 top students at Tsinghua and Peking Universities, the author distills their common methods into a staged, strategy-based system, with 8 major strategies, more than 20 specific tools, and a ladder plan for different score bands. The structure is clear and highly practical. Its value lies not in creating anxiety but in helping readers first identify their own score band and then choose targeted methods, avoiding blind drilling and inefficient repetition. Read it as a toolkit, not as inspiration; diagnose your own study process as you read, pick the one or two weakest points to act on first, and expand gradually. It suits students whose study methods are vague, whose effort and output are out of proportion, or who want to see change in the short term, and also parents who want to help their children map out a learning path. One caveat: the effect of any method book depends on execution and adjustment, so the plans here should be adapted flexibly to your own subject foundation and schedule rather than copied wholesale.

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • Middle and high school students whose study methods are inefficient and whose effort does not match their scores
  • Exam-preparation students in the middle score range who want a short-term breakthrough
  • Parents who want to help their children map out a score-improvement path and avoid blindly signing up for classes
  • Current students who need a set of practical study tools

Not a good fit for

  • People who expect rapid score gains without effort
  • Younger students with very weak foundations who need systematic textbook review first
  • Readers who only want motivational stories and are unwilling to put methods into practice

Reading tips

  1. First take the score-band self-assessment to locate your range, then jump directly to the corresponding chapter.
  2. After reading each practical tool, try it once that day in your weakest subject and record the result.
  3. Copy the book's planning table into your own weekly plan, review every two weeks, and promptly drop ineffective methods.

FAQ

Is this book suitable for students with very poor grades?
The book's score-improvement ladder is designed for different score bands, so weaker students can find a starting method in it. But if the foundational gap is large, they should first fill in textbook knowledge and use the book's strategies as supplementary tools; they should not skip the basics and chase techniques directly.
Do I need to follow every method in the book?
No. The author provides a library of strategies and a toolbox. Readers should first diagnose their weak points, choose the two or three most relevant methods to apply first, and add more gradually once they see results; copying everything tends to scatter your energy.
Is this book useful for parents?
Yes, but parents should see themselves as helpers. Through the book's planning approach, parents can understand that score improvement needs to advance in stages and can help their children reduce ineffective drilling and blind class enrollment—not make plans for them or apply pressure.
How can the effectiveness of a method book be guaranteed?
The methods come from a summary of common experience among top students and are worth consulting, but results depend on the quality of execution and individual differences. Read and try them out, review regularly, and adjust based on your own feedback rather than shelving the book after finishing it.

About the author

廖恒 Author

Liao Heng is a Chinese author whose work centers on study methods and exam score improvement. Public information about him is limited, and no clear record of his personal background is available. Nine of his titles are included in the collection, spanning social science, exams, inspirational growth, education and management. Representative works include The Minimalist Study Method: The Secret of High Exam Scores, Minimalist Study Methods in Comics, The Minimalist English Study Method, Four Months Is Enough to Learn English Well, Raising Scores, Top Students' Little Habits and The Diary of a Gaokao Comeback. Judging from these titles and subjects, his writing addresses students and exam candidates, breaking complex study routines into workable steps and using light formats such as comics and diaries to lower the barrier to reading. Monetization Thinking: Eight Marketing Lessons for Self-Appreciation shows that his writing also extends to personal growth and marketing. His style is practical and accessible, with an emphasis on methods that can be put to use.
