Sinossi
Who are you kidding? No one is completely satisfied with the grades they get on exams or with the life that comes along with it. This book explains why, shows how the two are related, and--with the help of stories, jokes, cartoons, games, myths, statistics, pop quizzes, personal anecdotes, generally hidden facts, practical advice, some analysis, and a dash of theory--tells you what you can do to ring the bell on exams and in life. No kidding!
Authored by a famous professor who reveals the inner secrets of his trade, How to Take an Exam... interplays two totally disparate subjects, then brings them together in a revealing indictment of `higher' education and the world it produces. A delightful tour de force that entertains while it educates.
