This is the second ever review I have written for a book (the first one was for ‘Make it Stick’ — another great book). I lead a busy life so writing a review has to be worth it.
My field is Primary Education, not degree-level maths, not even A-Level maths! Honestly, the most comfortable I feel with maths or stats is teaching children under the age of 11. I took GCSE maths 30 years ago!
I am now undertaking a masters degree that contains a stats module — it terrifies me! I look at words and figures in other stats books without actually absorbing anything.
This book is probably the most well-written book I have ever read. I have read too many psychology and educational books to count, many hundred research papers (reading stats enough to know thresholds without properly understanding them). Andy Field, please continue your work (I read this was the last one?!!!!).
One word of advice: read every word. It is incredibly tempting to skip to a chapter you need to understand for a college course, but you might be carrying a misconception. Also, the beauty of the humour in Andy’s examples means you WILL remember them — they will be more meaningful. You have to read ‘Make it Stick to fully appreciate how important this is.
Yes, it is large but this simply illustrates the size your confidence and skills will increase by the time you have finished it.
Thank you, Andy!

Initially I thought he was chatting too much about irrelevant stuff , but then I realised the chat was keeping me alive. And we Stan a simp. 10/10 would recommend. (If you’ve read it you know ) (also yes great for stats)
