If you are wondering how you can get good grades, then this is the “college 411” for you.No matter where you attend college or university, success is more achievable than you might think. In fact, the biggest “successmaker” is not working harder—it’s working smarter.

If so, this is a must-have book to provide their best chance at college success. Studies show that students who do well when they start college are more likely to graduate on time. With the majority of students dropping out of college before their third year or taking more than four years to graduate, it is important to give the student in your life the tools necessary for success—and this book is one of them. Best of all, the skills taught in this book will be fully applicable in the real world after college.REVIEWGrade 10 & Up—This book provides a wealth of sound advice. It focuses on time management, careful planning of class selection and scheduling, organizational skills, developing discipline, communication with professors and instructors, and sharpening study skills. Each tip is addressed succinctly in two to three pages of conversational writing. Chapman suggests taking general education classes at a community college when possible, sitting at the front of the room, overscheduling classes at the beginning of each semester and then dropping the least favorite and least needed, keeping socializing under control, choosing to be with people who are serious about their education, and more. —Susan Shaver, Hemingford Public Schools, NE. © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
