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.

Format:Paperback
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.
