Summary: This book of exercises and lessons helps students develop study strategies that include organization, reading comprehension, note-taking skills, and test-taking skills. It first describes the executive functions of the brain, the processes that help people stay organized, manage time, pay attention, plan future behavior, and inhibit behavior, then provides the practical strategies needed to develop those functions.
