This book promises a total transformation of student's study skills and academic habits through 200+ digestible entry-based tips for quick success. Instead of a traditional running text format, Straight-A Study Skills is arranged by broad topic (Tests, Taking Notes, In the Classroom, etc.) and then further subdivided into quick entries that highlight the most essential take-aways, without being too wordy or confusing. Every page will have something that students can quickly read and apply, without having to sort through filler material.
