Most study guides tell you what to do. This one also says which of the common methods score worse than people think — and why that does not mean they are useless.

Five researchers reviewed ten common study techniques and rated how well supported they are and how widely they can be used. Two got the highest rating. Highlighting, rereading and writing summaries — the three almost everybody uses — came off worse. That isn't in the small print, it is page three.
The booklet runs on two tracks. At the front, ordinary school life: the tests you hear about on Monday and sit on Friday, and the weeks when three of them pile up. At the back, the big exam — entrance exams, final exams, apprenticeship qualifications — with a countdown and the months before it.
What the pages cover:
–The two top-rated techniques — and the five that scored lower
–The weekly loop: eighty minutes for a whole exam week
–Two worked examples — a maths week and a vocational school test
–Three exams in one week, with a weekly grid
–If you're an apprentice: the loop across school and working days
–When the exam isn't written — presentation, oral, practical work
–The months before: past papers under time
–The phone, the computer and the console
–What helps against the tension, graded by strength of evidence
–When it's more than exam stress — and helpline numbers
Where a statement is uncertain, it says so in the text — not only in the sources. The famous tip of writing down your worries for ten minutes before an exam is included explicitly as an offer: the original study failed to replicate twice, and a summary of 21 studies concludes that the literature does not support it. That is in the booklet, not in the small print.
