«How to Learn» by Jonathan Firth

Get better results in less study time.

Stop relying on outdated learning techniques and streamline your revision with science-based study strategies instead. How to Learn includes a set of practical solutions for use with any subject at all stages of learning.

* Flawed strategies, and why they don't work

* How to improve your own learning (and the best ways to check if it's working)

* Forming good habits: note-taking, flashcards and what to do in class

* How memory works — and why this is important

* The importance of the right study schedule

* Boosting attention and concentration

* Exam planning — including exactly what to do if you've left studying to the last minute

Each chapter includes review questions so you can check your understanding as you progress through the book.
