Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 7 Up?"Ace" is written in six chapters and presents information on test anxiety; time management; study techniques; and standardized, objective, and written test-taking techniques for adolescent and older students. Fry includes photocopyable charts to aid in organization and promotes other titles in his study series. The information is generally clear, but the author's constant interjection of off-the-cuff comments and forced humor interfere with the focus and tend to be annoying. How to Study is more clearly written with less divergence. It contains a valuable chapter on the hook up and use of on-line services to gather information. Other chapters cover note-taking, attitude, time management, reading skills, and library-research techniques. These two titles do contain worthwhile information and will probably be put to their best use in schools or continuing-education programs or in the hands of teachers and guidance counselors who can winnow out the superfluous from the essential.?Joan Soulliere, Wenham Public Library, MA

From AudioFile
Ron Fry, author of books on preparing for job interviews, writing resumes and getting your first job, sets out a course to improve study habits. In audio it's slightly more difficult to "drop in" on a subject as one could do with a printed text, but six of the cassettes have a specific topic, such as note-taking and improving your memory. The audience, while not specified, appears to be high school and older. Cooper and Butler alternate presentations with clarity and directness. R.F.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.
