British Invasion For Studying...Excellent Option

I've read many articles and study guides and I must say that I was thorougly impressed with this guide because it covers a range of topics. It covers such topics as time management, confidence and getting over anxiety as well as improving learning techniques, reading, research, writing and studying for exams. The approach to learning is both technical and creative but the book is very interactive for its readers, all of which I like very much. I think that this interaction is very important with the reader because you're learning (yet again) another learning system. But what I found was that it was easier to learn and use than say, What Smart Students Know, yet another wonderful study guide. It is written in a British style, so it spells organize like "organise" and so on. But that aside, it's a wonderful guide and I found it to be very informative and helpful. I highly recommend it.
