With the new academic year now in full swing, I wanted to recommend this book, as a bit of a back to school special! I'm now in Year 11, and although this book has been so important to me over the last few years, this year it becomes all the more necessary.
The verdict is simply: if you are a student, you need this.
It details how to revise effectively, different techniques, how to look after yourself in exam season, what you should do the night before and exam, perfectionism, habits....it really is the only study guide you'll ever need!
It's everything they don't teach you at school and more. It's the book I needed, and I'm sure that so many other students need it too.
This is the book that taught me to revise properly, that made me think about my revision techniques, that encouraged me to experiment with them, and that ultimately improved my grades.
The author is also my absolute favourite YouTuber, UnJaded Jade, and I actually met her on a small island in Holland this summer - how crazy is that!
This book is so necessary - it's a must read for anyone at the upper end of secondary school, in college and uni.....it's so helpful, it's simple, it gives actual advice you can follow and things you can implement easily into your daily life.
I can't recommend this book enough, and I really hope some of you pick it up! As always, thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to read my rambles!

I'm writing this on my first day of Year 11. How crazy. Today was the first day back at school and my casual magic is seeing my beautiful friends again, some of which I hadn't seen for seven weeks. Friendships are magic <3
My sister got me this book for my birthday last week! I can't wait to start looking through it, and putting the techniques into practice :)
