The Secrets of Taking Any Test, Second Edition

Summary: Excellent book on learning stratagies
Review: I loved this book! It goes into great detail about how to study effectively. It covers multiple choice, true/false, and essay questions and gives you great clues on how to answer these questions correctly, i.e., see through some of the tricks professors use to fool you! The best part of this book was the practice tests. It provides a practice civil service test, a practice standardized test, and a pracice classroom test which allows you to interact and apply what you have learned (and it provides the answers). The tests cover recall, math, language mechanics, reading comprehension, grammar, spelling, judgement, etc. I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to have an upper hand in test taking! I especially liked the book because I will be returning to school after an eight year absence and feel a little nervous about it. Now I feel like I have some tools to help me get those As!

Summary: Improve grades
Review: This was one of the books I used to train students to increase their grades on exams. The book was useful in that and students were able to get higher grades. The proof is in the pudding.
