It covers a little bit of everything on learning how to learn. Time management, what are goals and how to set them, the Cornell Note Taking Method and Biographies to read.

My warning to young students buying this book is quite simple. Don't turn to this book hoping to find answers that you cannot find on your own. This book offers some great advice, but like all self help books, good advice isn't always that easy to put into practice (nor is it always needed). First year of University can be a very intimidating time, don't buy this book out of fear like I once did. Find your own courage, your own inner strength and don't take this book too seriously, because at the end of the day you need to find what works for you.

I recommend this great book, and the book by Kenneth Green,
called "Survey of 300 A+ Students". My two sons have straight
A's inpart because they use these two books.

i originally bought this book to help me with some study skills for a self study program. i have not taken classes in over six years and needed to refresh my study skills. this book addresses all aspects of studying and school. althought I did not read all chapters because some did not apply to me during my current study situation, I found this book very helpful for my situation. it addresses all aspect of studying in college. the cost seems high because it is more like a text for a college class but well worth the investment.
