This review is from: High School Global Studies Review (Review Smart) (Paperback)

I was a struggling 10th grade student who was in dire needs for a good grade in global studies. I turned to overpriced tutors who couldnt cater to my needs. I knew I had no learning disability because every other subject I found easy to learn and I excelled in them. It was just the wretched Global Studies subject that would torment me every time I would recieve another test back. As the regents were approaching I figured that I should just stick to reviewing review books over and over again until I could grasp the elusive material I needed for the future tests. So I turned to this book. I read the book and it was almost divinely how easy it came to me and how readily I could recall the material. I finished reviewing just last week and I feel extremely confident for this years New York Regents. I definitely recommend this book to those who struggled or even felt Global Studies has been a breeze for the two years of high school. Its a great way to prepare for the regents. Hey - if I did well so could you!

Hey this book could turn any retard into a Steven Hawkins! (It worked for me, though I ain't no Steven Hawkins, I was a retard)
