This review is from: Test Taking Strategies & Study Skills for the Utterly Confused (Paperback)

One of the best books about test-taking and study skills today, this is a book that really helps you study better and do good on tests. The book includes chapters about taking specific kinds of tests such as true-false, multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, matching, and math tests. Also, this book helps you manage your time, read well, calm test jitters, learn to study well, and much more! A wonderful, well-written book by an experienced eduacator that really does help you have better test-taking strategies and study skills! For all the "utterly confused" out there, read this book! You will be a better student- and a better test-taker after reading it.

This review is from: Test Taking Strategies & Study Skills for the Utterly Confused (Paperback)

This book is an excellent resource for helping students to do better on all tests, especially standardized tests. I really enjoy the "Do I need to Read this Chapter?" feature because it immediately addresses the argument from many teens, "I don't need this. I'm fine". Or the question, "What do I need THIS for?". The author addresses time management, working to one's strengths, memory strategies, the importance of vocabulary and how to increase it, and many other important skills.
