More DescriptionI Hate Exams, you Hate Exams, we all Hate Exams. But they'd be easy if you could take your course notes into the examination room with you - right? Well, I found a way to do that - and now you can too.
It's probably the closest thing to cheating without actually cheating.
Better still, this book is:
1) Short - just 50 pages and can be read in 30-60 minutes
2) Flexible - you can use the techniques for any subject at any level
3) On your side - written by a student, not a teacher or academic
So if you're feeling lazy, slack, overwhelmed or you've left things to last minute panic - get this book and sail through your exams without really trying. Boost your grades right to the top or reduce your revision time to the absolute minimum - but still be confident of a Pass. It's your choice.
Is this book for me?
See if you recognise your situation in one of these 4 characters (this is how me and my friends felt about exams):
1) David, Age 15. Getting OK grades in 6 GCSE subjects and Es in two subjects he hates. Being leaned on by his parents to achieve more. Would prefer to spend more time playing football and his x-box. Can't understand why everyone hassles him so much - isn't Captain of the football team and 6 GCSEs enough?
2) Julie, Age 18. Muddled through GCSEs, scraped through A-levels. Now struggling in her first year at Uni. Enjoying Uni life, but bordering on failing year 1 and having to leave. 5 weeks away from her exams and looking for a panic button.
3) Louise, Age 23. Left Uni with a 2:2 after enjoying the social life much more than her studies. Got onto a graduate training scheme with a major bank. Now has to take 3 years of bank exams on top of a 50 hour week. Would really prefer to be out having fun, looking for a way to reduce study time and party more.
4) Mike, Age 38. Left the Army 3 years ago and got a job in private security. Needs to retake 3 GCSEs to get into the Police Force. Needs a way to cram study in between work and family life.
Sound familar? Ok, here's the double epic deal (I think that's what young folk say nowadays.) I wrote this book because I also hated all the other exam study guides. They all want to make you "enjoy life long learning" or "develop your study skills". Whoa man, I just wanted to survive my exams and get on with my life - so if you feel the same way - this is the book for you.
