Survey of 300 A+ Students

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Advice
Review: A+ students describe how they earned the A+ grade. I wish I had this book when I was in school. I got the book for my daughter and she really likes it. She talks to me about what she learns in the book...clever idea for a book, Mr. Green!

Summary: Strategies for Academic Excellence
Review: As the title suggests, SURVEY OF 300 A+ STUDENTS, interviewed students from all over the world who were considered "A+" students and compiled their responses, tips, and strategies into this book. The book is divided into several sections that tell what to do before, during, and after class to ensure success. It offers test taking tips, ways to deal with stress, time management, etc. , in addition to a section for educators on how to organize and improve their classes. Also included is an appendix that includes the survey questions and several other academic resources.

Although SURVEY OF 300 A+ STUDENTS is geared toward college students, it includes a little something for everyone. I was impressed with the clear and concise advice the book offers. The author, Kenneth Green states that all of the tips may not work for everyone, but instead the book is a guide to allow you to find the methods that work best for your needs. This is an excellent resource for all students.

Summary: Informative and Entertaining
Review: I loved this book from front to back! I read the book in three days and couldn't put it down. I think that it is informative and entertaining at the same time. I especially liked the list of things to do before the academic term begins. It tells you what to do before you even get to the first class.

Summary: Excellent Source
Review: Ken Green's book is a must for any student in high school, college and beyond. The insights
of 300 A+ students can help anyone move to the head of the class. The book gives advice on
everything from picking classes, to note taking, to exam preparation. It's an excellent
comprehensive resource and one that I would highly recommend to any student hoping to get
the most out of their academic experience.

Summary: A raft of help for college and high school students
Review: Kenneth Green has written a practical, entertaining book. 300 A+ Students would be a great gift for a college student.

His book is cleverly organized: for instance, the section on test-taking is divided into before, during, and after tests, and covers everything from the importance of getting enough pre-exam sleep to bringing Black Forest gummy bears for a break during a long test. Techniques for approaching all varieties of exams are shared.

The conversational tone of the book, one of sincerity and immediacy, comes from students' own voices. One college student describes her "thesis police," a group of friends she enlisted to bug her frequently about how her writing was coming along. She said the motivation was most effective.

High school kids are not always tempted to read the book themselves (like who wants to be an A+ student anyway??), but teachers, parents and grandparents can read it and pass along valuable nuggets. As a college student, I would have glommed onto it immediately and then remembered where I put it.

One look at the table of contents reveals what a raft of help this book can provide. It's easy to dip into and out of. A great find!

Summary: Good Job
Review: The A+ students in this book are from a variety of backgrounds and each presents his/her own way of arriving at excellence. Despite differences, there are general themes that they have in common with each other. Kenneth Green does a good job of describing these common themes and messages.
