Book Reviews of The Adult Student's Guide to Survival & Success

Book Review: A must read!
Summary: 5 Stars

I enjoyed reading this book. It is written in a fun, conversational manner. The chapter on overcoming fears and concerns was particularly valuable since fear is the key factor that prevents many adults from going back to school to finish their college degree.

I found the chapter on "how to get high grades" to be very practical, especially for those students who never learned to study effectively earlier in life, or who have simply forgotten how. The learning strategies discussed in this book will help even the accomplished student get higher grades.
