- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5While I wouldn't say any of the information is revolutionary, there is something great about having so much information in just one book (Ron Fry says 8 of his books were compiled into two volumes, and this is volume 1: this one includes How To Study, Managing Your Time, Taking Notes and Acing Any Test). Thankfully, he does say the true test of any method is what works for you, but then points out that - if you're reading it - likely something's not working. Some of the information is dated (it was published in 1993 using books even older; the chapter on computers proved humorous in this context) but most stand the test of time.
I rated it low because it is hard to say you really liked a book that is nothing you've never heard before. However, the writing style is very easy to absorb and all of the information is there. You're not going to love this book (all it does is make you think of all the work you are going to have to do - he has tips to study smarter, but even efficient work is still work) but it is very clear about techniques you could try.
The best piece of advice (for me) was how Fry said that if you didn't understand the book, it can mean that you just don't understand that book: textbooks are not always written in the most understandable formats or language. He suggests getting supplementary material before you give up on a subject. I actually just ordered a supplementary book off of Chapters after reading a preview.
