Read Smarter
How to get the most from a guide
A guide gives you the map. Pair it with these habits and you'll walk into counselling already three steps ahead.
01
Start with the timeline
Know the dates and rounds before the details. Most missed opportunities come from a deadline, not a low score.
02
Write your shortlist
Turn reading into action — note 3–5 courses or colleges that fit you. A counsellor can refine a list far faster than build one from scratch.
03
Bring your questions
The best counselling sessions start with your doubts. Jot down everything a guide left unanswered and bring it to the table.
