Product Description
Exams frighten almost everyone. Fear of failure (and fear of success) can inhibit learning. Students will always perform better if they have the necessary emotional resources in the run-up to their exams. Many study books fail to deliver what they promise: techniques alone do not necessarily boost exam performance. To work effectively, study advice has to take account of the variety of attitudes students have to the prospect of being assessed. These determine how successfully they adopt and develop study strategies for exam success. In addition to fundamental student skills such as timetabling, note-taking, memorising, research, use of the internet, essay-writing and exam technique, "The Student's Guide to Exam Success" offers ground-breaking advice on developing emotional strength in response to the increasingly heavy demands that are made on students in the modern world. It offers a variety of strategies which will help students to: develop self-awareness; find out how to stop procrastinating and worrying about results, and start to enjoy their work; learn about the dangers of swotting; develop the necessary confidence to handle reading lists, coursework, presentations and practicals; and learn to deal with tutors, lecturers and examiners.

Format:Paperback
Not only is this book a simple, clear and fantastic guide for planning coursework and exam preparation - it is a saviour for those whose seemingly realistic "chatterbox" could lead to failure. The book explains how our obsession with "grades" can be our downfall. It advises on how to see and understand our behaviour, plan/prepare coursework objectively, ask and seek advice, be healthy, enjoy life and succeed!
This book should be every student's companion.
Excellently written. Read in one day, absorbed "overnight" and applied instantly - it works! Ever felt spiralling into a black hole? This book will awaken the passion you once had for your studies - it's there, you just can't feel it... until the first few lines of Chapter 1. Turn a nightmare back to your dream - and realise it.

A sensible guide to study skills. It would be difficult to argue with any of the advice. For dyslexic students in particular, I would have hoped for a more user-friendly approach, taking advantage of presentation techniques developed by business-oriented self-improvement literature. The book could benefit from some editing towards this end without losing content.
