PRAISE

"How to Study for Standardized Tests is the most useful, concise, and science-based exposition of test preparation ever published. Informed by current cognitive science and exquisitely organized, Drs. Sefcik, Bice, and Prerost walk the student through each step needed to successfully prepare for any standardized test, from the GED to medical board exams. Accompanied by meaningful exercises and succinct summaries, the book offers skills, knowledge, attitudes, and resources specifically designed for standardized test preparation. If you are preparing for an exam, if you experience test anxiety, or if you just want to maximize your test-taking potential, this book provides the tools you will need. In my training as an educational specialist and medical school neuroscience course director, I have had the opportunity to review dozens of similar books. How to Study for Standardized Tests is by far the best book on this subject I have ever seen."
