I thought this book was very good. Since i have read this book i've improved in my test taking skills and i also plan to do better on them in the future. I think this book can help people of all ages-young and old- read this book and you'll never fail a test agian.

If you're reading this, it's no news to you that test-taking is a skill apart from learning. The better one knows the subject, the more likely that person will score well. But a second--and important--factor is how well one knows how to prepare for and take a test. This brief book provides a nitty-gritty compendium of such vital skills.
I used this book in conjunction with the excellent, and broader, "What Smart Students Know" (Adam Robinson) to teach a small college orientation week class on school survival skills. This book is valuable in its directness and scope. At its price, it's really a "no-brainer" purchase (sorry, pun intended).

I've seen better books that offer help in this area, but for the price I paid, it was still worth it. My kids can use it to gain some insight. It is very easy reading, too.
