Almost Perfect
This book was very useful, as far as having a successful college career. There are some very useful studying tips, that were reverberated by many of my teachers. Such as review notes from each day everyday. It is the book to having a overall successful college experience. One of the thoughts was to enroll in a society or program on the first day of school. It also advises to apply for scholarships and awards everyday, it will look good on resume. This is a very useful book and is a great pocket guide. I believe it is the best on the market. But it really depends on what you're looking for.
How to win at LIFE
This book is packed with ideas for living a rich, full, successful life. Some are obvious (#59: Eat healthy), some are not (#52: Keep a weekly progress journal). Some are things that we know we should do, but don't always make time for (#60: Volunteer quietly).

Any student who practices these tips will be set for a rewarding college experience, and will also have a solid foundation of good habits for their future career.
Misprinted
The book I received from all new books took a month to get to me. Then when I received the book, it was misprinted and is missing the last 10 chapters.

The book itself seems very interesting, but it's hard to tell when you're missing the ending.
A quick read that was worth every penny
I'm going back to school next month after having taken 2 years off after high school to find myself. I needed some tips and guidelines to help me get back on track and this was exactly what I needed. This book is full of good advice. I can't apply every single one of them cause some of the tips are more targeted to University degree students (Im really goin to college - 2 yr diploma thing) but for the most part it was full of juicy tid bits on how to get through exams, studying, organizing your time and a whole lot more. It was such a breeze to read, great for reading before bed. Of all 5 books I've bought from Amazon so far, this is the first book Ive felt the want to write a review on. Awesome! =)
College is too expensive to settle for "surviving" it. You've got to win!
Why oh why couldn't this book have been around when I was in college! Life would have been so much easier. I've given it to every high schooler and college friend, relation, acquaintance. I'm even trying to donate copies to my alma mater for their entering freshman. By far the best book on what it takes to be a standout in college. Full of practical advice, and all of it is within a student's reach. Highly recommended.
