A genuinely useful toolkit for young people in the build up to exams, containing advice, hacks, real life examples and a huge confidence boost. Told in a humorous way that just about manages to avoid rolling over into dad joke territory, this is a brilliantly accessible guide that we will be recommending over and over again.

My son has now started his GCSE year so thought this book would be perfect so that I can read and give him tips!
There was a lot of advice that sounds perfect and we are going to try and adopt these to try and make it a less stressful time!
The author has lots of knowledge and I found out he was fromna TV program I've watched!
