Praise for the first edition:
"The effect on our students was like star dust!"
Anne Schofield, Ruskin College, Oxford
Student feedback from Study Skills sessions at London Metropolitan University:
"Why didn't they tell us this before? ... This is the best bit of learning I've ever done!"
"At school I was told to go away and get a job in a shop ... Since doing Study Skills I'm getting 'A's' for my assignments!"
"I was het-up, frightened ... I just wanted to run away and hide ... Oh I love it now!"
"When I first got here I kept thinking I would be found out ... I know I can do it now"
"I never enjoyed school, not at all ... Everything's different now - it's great!"
"When I first got here I thought they were all looking at me and thinking 'What's that old woman doing here?' ... It's my university now!"
The eagerly-awaited new edition continues to provide a truly practical guide to achieving success at university.

Now completely revised and restructured, the authors use their twenty-five years of hands-on experience with students in university to provide genuinely useful advice.
