  techniques recently, you should check your pulse.
  You may be dead.

Start at once

Nobody else is studying
Im not in the mood to study
This material is too difficult
Im hungry
I can do it later
Its hopeless

If I study now I will forget by test time
Ill never need to know this
This is stupid stuff to spend time on

Successful studies can not be postponed According
to Psychology Today one out of five people
constantly postpone things they should do. Among
students the figure is 70 percent. The biggest
reason is fear of failure. - They are afraid
that someone will believe they are stupid. It is
better to be regarded as too lazy, says
psychologist Neil Fiore. TT

The Swedish model for selection to higher
education can be described by a simple model
where two (sometimes three) different components
are included. Applicants are ranked on the basis
of their SweSAT score and their GPA (grade point
average) from upper secondary school. The main
idea is that the students who are admitted on the
basis of these instruments are those who will
show good academic performance. To a lesser
extent (for a few programmes like architecture,
journalism and medicine) the selection are based
on scores from various types of course-specific
selection instruments.

Critical reading
27

• If you do not give attention to your internal
  reception, it is difficult to take a critical
  view of the text and its message.
• I read slowly and I am therefore constantly on
  guard against being cheated.
