Most useful study skills book I have ever used! I have Peter (the author) as a study skills tutor at King’s College London and our sessions have helped me immensely to prioritise my study, make notes, write essays, and revise for exams more efficiently. I use the book as a companion to our sessions but you can use it alone as well. The book contains unique strategies I have never seen in any other guides. In particular, Peter’s “ten-step strategy” to write an essay helped me break the whole process down into smaller steps and have a clear focus for each step. I also liked his guide on making “spatial notes” for the research part of essay writing. This helps me make connections between ideas easily compared to the list form that my notes used to be in. His guide on making overview tables for assessments and exam revision also helped me prioritise my study. The guide helps me make sure that every work that I do needs to contribute to getting good grades in assignments or exams.
