Effective Study Skills
Many students, parents and teachers are looking for test prep books that offer effective study skills.
Test Success! is just that. A comprehensive roadmap for how to study for tests and how to take them.
One of the main obstacles for effective studying is test taking anxiety. It can get in the way– not just on the test, but while you are studying. You’re reviewing your notes, you imagine doing poorly on the test, you become very anxious and then you can’t study any more.
No other test prep book addresses this subject more directly than Test Success! Dr. Bernstein, the book’s author says, “Effective study skills need to be built on a sturdy foundation of being calm, confident and focused.” Test Success! offers nine core tools for effective studying and test taking. All of the tools are grounded in evidence-based research, and most are used by successful professional athletes and others in high stress/high performance situations.
In addition to regular blog posts Dr. B will also provide a more in-depth analysis on this page of those skills, as well as videos to help train students and test-takers to use their study skills more effectively.
Stay tuned!
