Super Study Skills!

This book on study skills was a really interesting and helpful listen. I learnt a great deal throughout the book, as the author manages to cover many points related to studying more effectively in a supportive way.
Their are so many helpful tidbits in this book. Whether its getting ready to study, with tips on setting academic goals and taking chances on courses, or some awesome note taking advice. This study skills book is a must for anyone seeking to improve their ability to retain information.
The best part for me was some of the memorization and mental strategies that you learn. These are worth the price of the book alone as their are some great pointers here.
An excellent study skills guide and highly recommended!

How to learn study skills that will bring success

Study Skills is a full on, motivational "how to" guide to approaching the study of any subject with a 'can do' attitude. I found it very useful in regards to getting started (always a sticking point to someone who could procrastinate for Britain!) and also in the area of retaining the information learned. The guide isn't a heavy study of study, it's a fast-paced composition of scores of hints and tips as to how to approach study from the outset, how to keep going when motivation is flagging and how to give yourself the best possible chance of success. The advice is practical and easily put into practice by anyone who is committed to learning as a pathway to a better future. I appreciated the fact that is was a quick listen that tooled me up to get on with the main event.

Some useful tips - good for school age students

I am a mature student and although there were a few useful tips I found the way it was narrated a bit cheesy and annoying. Maybe it's not so annoying if you are American.

Learning to adopt a meaningful study routine

I think I am quite a natural student, I really enjoying learning and strive to do my best to apply myself in whatever subject I am studying. However I do find it hard sometimes to study meaningfully and effectively and so I bought this guide to give me some suggestions to improve my study power. This audio book has really helped me to see where I can improve and really learn things efficiently. This includes prioiritising, being organised, not getting overly stressed and also maintaining an open minded and positive attitude. This is a very helpful guide.

"Study skills- tips for successful learning!

“Study Skills” by Ace McCloud is a very practical school, college or university guide for all students. The audiobooks contains lots of strategies how to learn effectively, remember things easily and pass exam in the high grade. First of all good organization skills are key to success. So good way is to plan your learning process step by step and control progress. Is a good practice to learn small amount of material every day and using agenda when planning. My favourite are tips how to remember things easier like acronyms, when first letters of words join together with funny association. Also you can use your creativity and imagination to remember material. Very handy is thinking about education like a career, so planning ahead, setting goals, methods and measure your progress is a powerful strategy. I find also group learning very interesting and effective, especially before your exams to refresh all materials via discussion and question and answers with your colleagues.
Nice advice is to prepare your office or place to study in proper, easy to focus way and use aromatherapy to make a whole process of learning more pleasurable. Also very useful are change your everyday routine and starts to heat healthier, use exercises and have enough sleep.
“Study skills” are very valuable audiobook that helps you achieve better result in your learning and make whole process more effective. Highly recommended!

Very Bland - Somewhat Informative

Very bland and more aimed at an American market. I expected so much more. At least this book is short and a good summery.

Not good at all.

I wonder how some can actually rate this audio book good. The author looks like he is trying to sell you snake oil.

Rubbish

The narrator and books sounds like a big commercial. Full of things that are common sense. Feel non the wiser. Not the book for me unfortunately.
