Vicki Nelson of College Parent Central recommends this book, written for students, but offering great insights for parents to share and pass along to students. Whether your student struggled in their first quarter or is facing difficulty in a course for the first time in their junior year, "[t]he book is intended to help students study better, and smarter, to be able to move beyond simply grades to a true education. One of the strengths of this book is that, as the author discusses true learning, she fills the book with strategies that are bound to raise any student's grades in the process."
