When I was 17, I had a dream to become a doctor.

I entered pre-med, fully aware of the fierce competition that awaited me. 

I locked myself in an intense routine, waking up at 7 AM for lectures and studying until midnight, every single day.

One day, a classmate casually mentioned studying until 2 AM. I felt compelled to outdo him and started studying 20 hours a day, every day, for nine gruelling months. 

I even resorted to rubbing dissolved breath mints on my eyelids to stay awake. Every second mattered…

The result? I got perfect grades and made it to medical school, but at the cost of my mental health.

In medical school, the volume of content doubled, and my previous method of studying 20 hours a day was unsustainable

I remembered walking out of a lecture after week 1 telling myself, “There is no way I can keep up anymore…”...

I knew I needed a better approach if I wanted to do well without repeating last year’s struggles.

Over the next few years, I dove into thousands of research papers on learning, constantly building on the techniques I’d picked up from medicine.

Eventually, I was confident enough to teach what I had refined to the students I tutored, and it worked!

This obsession led me back to university, where I completed a Master’s in Education scoring the highest grade in every paper and was awarded the Dean's award for the top graduating student in the program.

And I only studied a few hours a day for 6 weeks…

I discovered that many students, like myself, were stuck in a cycle of intense work, inconsistent results, and anxiety. 

The methods we were using were inefficient and unsustainable. 

Recognizing this, I left my medical career to teach these effective learning skills full-time. 

Today, I work with tens of thousands of people from over 150 countries, helping them learn more efficiently and achieve their academic goals without burning out.

The reality is that most studying does not lead to learning. By actually understanding how learning works, you can transform your approach and achieve extraordinary results with less effort. 

This program is designed to help you unlock your true potential and change your life, just like it did for me.

What I realised about becoming a top learner (after 13 years)...

To become a top learner, you need to understand 3 things...

  • First, you still need to work hard. There's no magic pill to become an ultra-learner overnight.

  • Second, becoming a top learner means changing your habits. If you're not willing to change, don't expect anything to change!

  • Third, making the change is worth it to achieve the goals you want to achieve.

Seems simple?

Here's the thing...

Most people do not make this change.

Most people stick with their same learning methods for years, endlessly playing catch up and losing opportunities.

In over a decade of coaching people to become top learners, the most important thing I've realised is that even if you teach someone "the best learning methods", it doesn't matter if they're still held back by something else.

So what holds students back?

Why do so few students actually succeed with their studies?

Outdated learning methods

Problem: If you spend hours studying without getting the results you want, the problem is how you study (effort isn't the issue!).

Procrastination

Problem: If you can't control procrastination, you can't control your life. You cannot achieve any goal reliably if you're a slave to procrastination.

Low focus and energy

Problem: You blocked out 4 hours to study. But you spend 2 hours distracted and 1 hour napping. Sound familiar? Me too.

Lack of control

Problem: Imagine trying to fix a car without knowing how an engine works... That's what trying to get better grades without knowing how learning works is like.

Burnout

Problem: Burnout = Effort without reward. Taking a break isn't always enough to overcome burnout at its root cause.

Balancing life

Problem: There's more to life than studying. But when studying is so stressful, it's hard to enjoy life outside of it!

How our program helps you save time and get better results.

It took me a decade of trial and error to figure out how to learn with true efficiency. I want you to learn that in less than 1/10th of the time.

My program teaches you to build an evidence-based learning system to help you...

  • Create study schedules like a top learner

  • Prevent burnout and improve motivation

  • Learn and process new information for maximum memory and understanding

  • Write high-efficiency notes that help you remember more in less time

  • Beat procrastination and learn to activate deeper focus

How much does this cost?

For context, the starting rate for a private coaching session with me is $2,500 USD an hour with a 6 month waitlist.

But I understand this is not affordable for most people.

I did not come from a "family of money" and I believe high-quality education should be accessible. 

You could pay thousands of dollars for tutoring, but the iCanStudy Program offers what I believe to be a much more impactful solution at a fraction of that cost.

I invested 10+ years of my life to design this world's-first system of learning to learn. And if you're serious about academic success, I want you to achieve what I have without investing that much.

iCS for Medical fellowship exam preparation

The ICS program has genuinely helped me with aspects of my life that I’ve struggled with for years.

The care and dedication that Justin and the entire ICS team bring to their students is exceptional. Justin is not only proficient and knowledgeable but also genuinely caring in their approach.

Even though I’m still relatively early in the program, I’ve already noticed massive improvements in my ability to learn new content, build integrated networks of information in my mind, and recall them effectively.

He could (and should) charge far more for his program. I’ve spent thousands of dollars on exam prep, career advice, and coaching, and none of it even comes close to what ICS has provided. This program is incredibly effective, and I highly recommend it.

Life Changer

I used to get very inconsistent results, and as a high achiever, it was depressing.

I now get top results... spend less time studying and more time working on my physical health, bass guitar skills and much more.

The fact that it has been less than 6 months and I am the happiest I have ever been, and that this will help me with everything else for the rest of my life (uni, parenting, having fun), is the reason I am giving 5 stars and wish I could give 5 hundred stars.

It works!

I want to say a massive thank you to ICS. As a struggling final-year pharmacy student, I had no idea how to study effectively, and my grades were consistently mediocre (C level).

I am thrilled to report that my recent test results came back, and I achieved a B+! This grade may seem small to some people, but to me, it's a tremendous achievement, and I couldn't have done it without ICS's help :)

Life changing experience

ICS has been a transformative program for me. It hasn't just enhanced my learning—it has positively impacted many areas of my life that I had struggled with for years.

The way I think, approach challenges, and navigate life has completely changed for the better. While it does require effort, the results are more than worth it. I couldn't recommend it enough!

The road to becoming a highly efficient learner...

Click the tabs below to see a breakdown of what to expect in your journey.

Day 1: Uncover your learning habits

Start your journey with a detailed learning diagnostic assessment that assess you on five evidence-based dimensions of learning:

  1. Deep processing: Your ability to analyse concepts, create connections, and extract meaningful learning from information. Deep processing is what most people think of as "intelligence".

  2. Self-regulation: Your awareness of how you learn and your ability to make strategic changes to your methods. Self-regulation is what creates an adaptable learner.

  3. Retrieval: Your strategies for memory retrieval and developing mastery. Retrieval influences your ability to recall information quickly and solve complex problems.

  4. Self-management: Your time, task, stress, and focus management skills and habits. Self-management is the defining characteristic of consistently productive people.

  5. Mindset: Your beliefs and tendencies around learning from mistakes, experimentation, and navigating uncertainty. Mindset is the single most important attribute for rapid growth and improvement.

At the end, you'll get a personalised report with your specific learning strengths and weaknesses alongside practical recommendations for how you can immediately improve your most high-yield dimensions.

Week 1: High-yield improvements

Train your highest priority areas with a suite of rapid-fire learning and self-management techniques. Some of our students fix their biggest barriers in just this first stage.

During this week, you'll learn how to:

  1. Schedule and create focus zones

  2. Reduce procrastination (for good)

  3. Create task lists that actually work

  4. Use spaced interleaved retrieval to boost memory and knowledge mastery

  5. "Stack" marginal gains to unlock the secret to faster skill improvement and growth

Weeks 2 to 10: Rapid growth

Fill your learning toolkit and build a truly top learner's system. Expect heavy hitting techniques that help you nail the next exam (and every exam for the rest of your life).

In this stage, you'll learn to:

  1. Use evidence-based note-taking techniques that enhance memory and deepen understanding (that don't take all day)

  2. Process information during class and lectures to prevent overwhelm and retain more of what you hear

  3. Use flashcards like a top learner, including our flashcard "rule of 3" and "active flashcard management" system

  4. Prepare for exams with more confidence while minimising gaps and errors.

  5. Learn new skills 10 to 20x faster than normal with our famous modified Kolb's cycle (one of our foundational techniques for hacking growth).

Weeks 10 to 20: Become a genius

You've got a great learning system already.

You might have already achieve your goals and you don't even need to get any better! But if you're aiming for the very top, it's time to rewire the way your brain thinks and learns at a fundamental level.

Using our world's first cognitive retraining methodology, you'll learn:

  1. How to use advanced note-taking methods that drive higher-order learning

  2. High-pressure time management and habit creation systems to perform at your peak when everyone else struggles

  3. Advanced planning, motivation and stress management systems that can withstand the demands of the most difficult and competitive exams and careers.

Week 20+: Road to mastery

At the stage, you'll learn:

  1. How to hyper-personalise your learning system for any situation and challenge

  2. How to create advanced learning systems for complicated challenges and limited time

  3. How to combine and hybridise all the techniques you've learned so far to overcome unique challenges and reach the highest level of academic success

Note that the expected timeline for improvements depends on your level of practice and diligence. The expectations above are based on our recommended 2 to 3 hours of theory per week. Individual results may vary.

So, does it work for my subject or curriculum?

Our academic program is suitable for a very wide range of domains and circumstances. This is because the techniques are built on fundamental methods of human processing, rather than superficial, subject-specific tips or tricks.

For subjects:

It is most effective for subjects that are heavy, conceptual or detailed. For example:

  • sciences

  • medicine

  • maths

  • anatomy

  • philosophy

  • english

  • economics

  • law/politics

  • coding

It is least effective for highly procedural domains such as music performance, dance and (partially) languages.

For curriculums:

We have learners using our program successfully for the following curriculums:

  • MCAT

  • IGCSE/GCSE

  • A-levels

  • IB

  • USMLE

  • UPSC

  • JEE

  • NEET

  • SAT

There are also many learners studying for professional certifications like CA/CPA/CFA examinations, medical and surgical specialisation exams, and software certifications.

Who is this program not for?

We do not recommend this program if...

  • You’re not ready to put in the time and effort...


    You will need to commit to at least 2 hours of theory and reflection per week (and practise what you learn in your normal daily studying).

  • You’re not willing to try something new and experiment with your learning...

    Changing your learning habits can be uncomfortable and challenging.

  • You’re not willing to make any mistakes...

    Learning something new always involves making mistakes and learning from them.

  • You’re looking for a magic bullet or a "get-smart-quick" scheme...

    There’s no secret shortcut or overnight solution to academic excellence.

It's not easy, but it is worth it

Learning how to learn effectively is something that we should have been taught to do during school. This course by Dr Justin Sung delves deep into the nitty gritty of why you can remember some things with ease and some go in one ear and out the other...

I've returned to uni after over a decade and am able to perform better than ever whilst still being early in the course.

The Most Life Changing Course You Will Ever Encounter

This has been by far the most valuable course I have taken In my life, the methods taught in this course are out of this world efficient...

I would easily pay several multiples of what the course costs to get this kind of information and feedback (The price to value discrepancy is insane). It's not an easy course, but the community and structure of the program provide the feedback you need to get. ahead.

I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn not just a bit faster but orders of magnitude faster.

Shy skeptic to confident believer

I was skeptical beforehand and even took half a year before I enrolled but after I decided to take it I don't regret it.

It's more than what I thought I wanted.

I developed a growth mindset which consequentially has motivated me to... work on my dream job. Im closer to my goal than I have ever been before. Thank you I.C.S.

A game-changing course!

Fantastic! There are many more superlatives I can use to describe the course, but I'd be writing for a while.

After being in a slump in 2021, I came across the course from word of mouth. Slowly after adopting the techniques of the course, I started seeing transformations, I thought that they were unreal! Procrastination no longer exists for me, I'm always on top of my time and tasks, my health is at its prime, and it only continues to get better, and I'm able to learn efficiently and still perform to a good standard.

Wonderful course, probably one of the best courses I have taken in my life so far.

Thank god Justin appeared on my homepage

The best course. The best formation. Let's not talk about what's in the course because the overwhelming amount of knowledge & effort that was put in it would make eloquent people struggle to define it in a single sentence. Let's just say that the Head of learning (Dr. Justin Sung) designed this course TRULY not focusing on money but more on solving all the issues most learners have...

I often say to my self that some of the things I can now do would have taken me LITERALLY 1 or 2 years to achieve by myself.

However, this thing is not easy. If you want easy, you'll waste your time.
