This book was clearly written for youth. However, it has many effective and helpful study techniques for college students as well. I appreciated the sections on note taking, creating outlines for study, creating outlines from notes, memorization, study tips, and preparing for the exam.

It's a very beautiful book with lots of helpful tips and tricks. As a student, I took lots of notes and I can definitely say that I wish I had read this much earlier. It is worth every minute I gave and there's nothing bad I can say about it.

This book taught me alot of studying skills and concepts in school. For instance, studying at least a few days before hand, study with a friends, etc. There were times where I studied, but didn't do well. The reason is i didn't study hard enough. I realized that after reading this book.There are times where I just look through my notes, but not in depth. There are times where I worked hard on a project, but I could have done better. There is no one to blame but myself. This book taught me that managing my time, working harder, can make a big difference. There is a big difference between studying for one hour and studying for tow hours. This difference can give you the grade you want. I learned to study harder and work harder after I read this book.
