I previously received this during summer school at one of the universities I was interested in. I can't really remember what this book was about.
I had to reread a chapter for critical and analytical thinking, and I found it really interesting. It really consolidated today's lecture and was hugely helpful.

Review - I think this is the best study skills book I've read. I'm now on my third degree and so have read quite a lot around the best ways to study. This book is helpful because it also encourages you to look backwards and evaluate what you already know, as well as looking forwards into the future. There are planning tables to help you plan all kinds of assignments and it is well laid out so that you can easily find the information you are looking for.

This is the book that I wish I could go back in time and force my 18 year old self to read. I've worked through it as I return to postgraduate study in later life, and the techniques it teaches are excellent.

I never finished reading this but I did pop around to chapters here and there as needed. It's a good book and I regret not having finished it.

If I found this book at my very first year, I'd say this was one of to-read for college, a well-prepared things to know aka class 101 about uni-life. But I read this while right now still being student but somehow passed lots of that entrance time, so yeah I don't find it useful for me. But at some point it made me rethought and rephrased my motivations and expectations for my study life, so yeah that's why I gave it a 1/4 star more.
Anyway, if somebody asked me a recommendation for freshman, well I'd say this without any hesitation.

Full of useful information, even if it not all of it is useful at all times.
I'm going to dip in and out of this throughout my MA, but this was definitely a good starting point.
