Reviews

[Lori Barr · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a good book to review if you want to improve you test-taking skills. Just one or two little tweaks can make the difference sometimes. Ron Fry has been working on this for a long time and is an expert in this field. Each edition of this book gets better and better.

Really not much substance... Most of it is about preparation. Not the actual testing strategies that are usable

[Sage · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book has helped me with time management and organization more than anything. As far as the test taking and study skills go, those were skills that I'd already acquired.
