Publisher's Synopsis

The General Studies paper requires candidates to demonstrate a wide range of communication skills and a degree of competence in a great many subjects. The aim of this book is to help students develop those skills and make good use of their knowledge under examination conditions. Through an analysis of past papers, the authors demonstrate how best to tackle questions, discuss the kind of approach to adopt and point out the pitfalls of the more dangerous essay topics. There is also a great deal of information on writing discursive essays, suggestions for useful background reading and advice on how to succeed in multiple-choice papers.

About the Publisher

The first ten paperback Penguin books appeared in 1935 costing 6d each (the price of a packet of cigarettes). Since then the Penguin list has developed enormously, but still aims to bring the best writing to the widest possible audience. Penguin Paperbacks now range from Booker Prize-winning contemporary authors, to mass market bestsellers, with successful history, biography and general non-fiction as well.
