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 this book, 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.

and couldn't put it down. I think that it is informative and enter-
taining 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.

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!

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.

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!
