Riassunto

It's not enough to know your stuff in a maths exam: to get the best grade you possibly can, you need to have good exam technique. You know that, of course. Your teachers have mentioned it over and over -- but they probably haven't explained what exam technique actually is. In this book, Colin (author of AS- and A-Level Maths For Dummies and a host of other revision books) puts that right. From last-minute revision, through keeping yourself calm in the exam, to squeezing every last mark out of the paper, to using the last few minutes effectively, Exam Technique helps you find marks you'd otherwise have missed -- marks that could mean you make your target grade. "Great read! Really witty and informative which makes it easy to read. Good mix of stating the obvious-but-often-overlooked behaviours combined with insider tips on exam strategy and comforting anti-panic techniques. I'd recommend this book to all of my students." -- Dr Hannah Coutts, Maths tutor "One of the most inherently useful books I've read in a long time." -- Nathan Day, Maths student

Informazioni sull?autore

Colin Beveridge (1977-) is the author of Basic Maths For Dummies and several other books in the series. He holds a PhD in Mathematics from the University of St Andrews and worked for several years on NASA's Living With A Star project at Montana State University, where he came up with an equation which is named after him. It's used to help save the world from being destroyed by solar flares. So far so good. He became tired of the glamour of academia and returned to the UK to concentrate on helping students come to terms with maths and show that not all mathematicians are boring nerds; some are exciting, relatively well-adjusted nerds. Colin lives in Dorset with an espresso pot, several guitars and nothing to prove. When he's not writing and teaching, he looks after his young sons and is preparing for another marathon.
