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.

My college students have found this to be a useful resource, easy to read with clear, concise suggestions to improve test taking and study skills. I use this book as a resource for my lectures as well.

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.

If you are a sixth grader or have a sixth grader that you want to develop great study habits this is a great book for you. There are very few technical tips about taking standardized tests. The book is for developing great study habits to prepare for taking tests. If the reader is much older than junior high age his or her study habits are probably too ingrained to change very much and this book is not worth buying.
