The author of this book advises parents, professionals and prospective students on preparing for the transition to further education, based on her experience as a learning support adviser and specialist teacher in a further education college. She is also the author of another book in a related field.

Chapters cover topics  including:

  • Developing a success attitude
  • Reducing exam anxiety
  • Smart learning using multisensory methods
  • Smarter organisation for exam success
  • How exam access arrangements work on the day of the exam

The book also includes a number of templates to structure and support more effective study skills and materials that can be downloaded from the publisher’s website. 

This is a practical, hands-on workbook that is written in a student friendly style, with an enlarged font  and that recognises the difficulties students with specific learning difficulties face. Well-established learning techniques are integrated into the activities  in each chapter and the author encourages the reader to engage actively in preparing for their exams. 

This is a very useful and accessible workbook that recognises the impact of  learning differences and provides a toolkit of resources to develop good study skills and habits.
