By experienced teacher, examiner & published author. Absolute bargain.

I’m Dr. Glynis Giddings. I’ve had many years of experience of teaching and assessing students. I’ve also written a variety of academic texts and magazine articles, and am the co-author of a textbook.

I’ve sat many exams myself, but also I’ve set, invigilated, marked and moderated thousands of exams at diploma, graduate and post-graduate level.

Over the years I noticed what many students don’t seem to know about study and exams, and the common (avoidable) mistakes they make. That inspired me to write this study guide, to help others improve their performance.

"An investment in knowledge pays the best interest."

Benjamin Franklin

Here you’ll find information generally relevant to all exams, such as preparation, study, revision, motivation and memory techniques.

There’s advice on particular exam types, such as essay writing, short answer questions and multiple choice. There’s also guidance for tackling specific types of exam, such as oral and practical exams.
