English term or phrase: wild card
" I would do the letter in two color if the cost isn't too much. It would be blue, reflex blue and
black. I would use either a white or a creme colored stock. And I would make it factual.
You'll learn the Helsinki Method for always being able to go to the key thought on a page or in a paragraph and not burden yourself with whatever.
You are going to learn a simple trick for recognizing recurring things and whatever you teach. I'd
make it interesting.
You can use a lift letter to communicate a sub-head, a little folded note inside, and it can
say How easy is it really or how difficult or easy you've got to see which one is the right way. How
easy is it to raise your Grade Point Average from a C to a B or from a B to an A? The answer inside
may surprise you
As far as testing goes, go after your primary demographic, the higher GPA's. Start with that,
but also do a wild card. Try a 1,000 or 500 that are lower ones because you have never proposed
it this way. This is not just getting a good grade, it is basically cutting three quarters of your study
time out. And even if you are not academically motivated, you might be lazy enough to get excited.
I'd send a couple of thousand. I'd send no more than 2,000 as a test. Send it first class. If it works,
then you can send the rest bulk. And you can just do an advance one to get an idea."
