 How to Get A+ Grades June 29, 2008
This book is invaluable! As a returning adult student (grad school) this book provides the ultimate road map for getting A+ grades. As a star student (h.s. valedictorian) I know a lot about getting the top grade in every class - this book provided me with tips I've never read anywhere else, and I've read a few books on this topic. I recently used a few of these new study ideas in 2 econ classes at jr college (review before grad school) and I received A+ grades in both classes - exactly what I wanted! Since it's been over 20 yrs since I've been in a classroom, my results were unexpectedly high, and I'm thrilled. These authors know their stuff, and they present it in clear, understandable ways that can be easily learned and consistently used. I am very grateful that I've found this book and will use the ideas and processes the authors provide for the rest of my school career (the book also provides ideas that can be transferred to the business world about preparation, people communications, and process.) This book is the best I've found; and would benefit high school, college and all adult students, regardless of field of study.
A great refresher! July 10, 2007
I suggest this read to anyone who is serious about stuyding and wants to earn A's. Although it's a lot of work if you follow the book's suggestions I can't see how anyone could not get great grades!
 Study Power? Sudy Skills to Improve Your Learning and Your Grades June 27, 2006

The content and writing style of this book are more appropriate to the high school or college student. The book probably would not motivate a younger reader...too serious and too general.
 Not worth the time! December 27, 2004

This book is rather brief. This book is like a brief assortment of topics.
It didn't help me much. For time management (which possibly is the greatest skill that any student must master), the authors just mention very briefly.
 Similar to the book, SURVEY OF 300 A+ STUDENTS October 13, 2002

This book is similar to the book, SURVEY OF 300 A+ STUDENTS: A+ STUDENTS DESCRIBE THEIR ACADEMIC STRATEGIES, by Kenneth Green (from Harvard). However, I think that Kenneth Green's book is more comprehensive and gives the information in a chronological order, which makes it a smoother read.
