For anyone serious about returning or presently attending school and wish to enhance their study skills, this is the book to buy. There are very useful tips and you can also learn a lot about the type of learner you are. It has really been an asset to me. I highly recommend this book.

This is a must for older high school students and those entering college. Many schools do not teach study skills any longer. The range of topics in this book is very broad and includes learning styles. It's user friendly and was written by a community college professor.

Uses the for class. MISERABLE, never take this class. Such a load of Bull.The book, just explains how to learn, study skills etc. Information that can be found online for free. Very basic information. Do not buy this book unless required for class.
