Product description

Review

Reviews for the 1st edition: 'I was a last minute crammer and it really helped me with how to maintain a strong attitude in my preparation, managing your demons and performing well on the day. The tips were excellent guides. What I particularly found useful was the page cross referencing system through out the chapters, so rather than reading the book cover to cover you would just access the bits you needed when you needed them. Quick, fast and to the point. It also had very useful guides on what to expect when stressed and how to cope with that. The section on the '5 point plan for peak performance' was my starting point and a life-saver, it got me through my exams. The book delivers what it says on the tin.' - Amazon review 'In no way difficult, this book is useful, relevant and concise. A must for any college or university student, plus an absolute bargain price' - Amazon review

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 October 2015

I really like this book, it aids in a lot of self reflection and criticism I wouldn't have otherwise done. I'm only half way through and I've already realised where I've gone wrong in the past, what to do different ect. I really would recommend this to students. I honestly didn't think it would help as much as it would - you have to have the right attitude and be in the right frame of mind to get the most out of it, but Its worth it.

For those definitely buying it - try a chapter a day if you can, or half a chapter. Write your own notes down, really invest in it, use it as a tool to improve your learning and exam technique.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have book for every student
Reviewed in Germany on 13 August 2015

I bought this book after some hesitation, because I - as probably most of you - believed that the answers to my problems (in general, and here linked to my studies and exams) had to be found somewhere in my mind and nowhere else... But after several days and weeks and months of attempts I decided to give it a try, mostly inspired by what I found on the preview of the book that can be found on Palgrave web site.
Well, that's probably my book of the year! I almost ate every single page, mainly helped by the system of internal references and connections that rules the book. You can start from the very beginning and then follow the suggestions for the next chapter or paragraph to read, or also jump to what concerns you most and then return to the other parts of the book for other tips.
With its questions it helps you analyse your situation, understand the origin of your problem(s), find again your motivation, destroy the demons that may haunt your mind an soul after a series of failures.
At the end of each chapter there's a summary table with the key points, which is useful for a quick revision; it even has a chapter with a structured revision program to help you organise your future steps towards success at the exams and an appendix with tables to be filled to plan your ascent to the conquest of the so-called ''peak performance''.
If you're still not convinced just have a look at the index of the book below and make your choice!
