| What the Experts think |
"This book breaks down the myths about revision and exams. It changes the way you think, but also teaches practical techniques to readers who want to stretch themselves and stay on track for exam success."
Tracy St John, BSc, PGCE, M.Ed, Examiner |
"Mind Explosion has really livened up my study skills and revision lessons! I'm also using it during Tutor Time. The teacher Pack's a real bonus with 'FAST BLAST' lesson ideas. It's 'step-by-step' and multi-diemsional: I'd never heard of 'Mind-based thinking!"

"This especially attracts me, as I am absolutely fanatic about anything to do with psychology and neuroscience. Also, despite the large words and pictures, it's not just for GCSE students. It truly teaches even 17 year old students like me a lot of exam facts that I never knew"
Serena, 17, IB student |
"This is great. Don't let the other kids see it or they'll all catch up with me."
