                 (1)  Strategies for Academic Excellence  
                        Reviewer:  Latoya Carter-Qawiyy from RAWSISTAZ Reviewers. 

                 As the title suggests, the author 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
                 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.
 

 

                 (2)  Informative and Entertaining  
                        Reviewer: Eric Walker from Boston MA.

                 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.
 

 

                 (3)  A Raft of Help for College and High School Students  
                        Reviewer: Sarah Friedel from Portland, Oregon.
             

                       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!
 

 

                 (4)  Good Job  
                        Reviewer: Betty Lang from Atlanta, GA.
             

                      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.
 

 

                 (5)  Great Summary  
                        Reviewer: Paul Wilcot from San Francisco, CA.

                 This book is comprehensive. Read the summary at the end 3 or 4 times, and you're
                 set for life.
 

 

                 (6)  Excellent Advice  
                        Reviewer: Mark Barrows from Seattle, WA.
            

                       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!
