5.0 out of 5 stars Essential buy for everyone who wants a First!, 15 Nov 2005
By Miss Demant (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
With interest in becoming a clinical psychologist I need to achieve a First, or at least a 2:1. The total mark for my essays last year was 2:2, so I decided to make an effort and bought Thomas Dixon's book hoping it could help me. Today, I got my first essay back for this year and it was marked... FIRST!! I consider myself an average student, but as Dixon emphasizes in his book: you don't need to be a genious to achieve a First! It is definitely a book worth buying, it explains very well and simple in details how you should structure your essay, what to include and not to include, and simply just clarifies what a First-class essay contains and HOW to write it!! It is an essential buy...

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful book, 19 Jul 2007
Bought this book at the start of my final year, but wished I had got it earlier. Contains some really useful information on common grammer mistakes, the importance of analysis and synthesis in academic work etc....with examples provided.

Would buy it again.
