Review - I thought that this particular guide to study skills was a bit too wordy and difficult to read at times. However, it did offer plenty of guidance on how to research, write and take exams. It could have benefitted from more diagrams and visual aids, as I believe that is how a lot of people learn, and I can't imagine this would be any different. For a better study skills guide look at The Study Skills Handbook which I feel has a better layout and is easier to navigate, but that is all that really lets this guide down, it is generally a well-thought out book.
