About this ebook
Succeeding in school is not so much hard work as smart work! 100+ Genuinely Easy, Unconditionally Guaranteed, Success Strategies for Students has over 100 easy-to-use strategies and free links designed to help raise students' grades.
In high school, I took two years longer to graduate than I should have. Back then, I would do anything to avoid homework and study. Like many students, I didn't know how to do them well. I thought they would take too much of my time and I would have nothing left for fun. I was wrong!
Let me say upfront, I did have to get serious about doing well in school. Until that happened, failure was inevitable. When I did get serious, what I learned surprised me. It may surprise you, too. Doing only a few simple things right, made all the difference. I did them and my marks went up. In 100+ Genuinely Easy, Unconditionally Guaranteed, Success Strategies for Students I show how you, too, can raise your marks in just one semester! What you learn can do for you what it did for me! I went on from just barely graduating high school, to earn a $10,000 scholarship just by applying these strategies consistently. I now have an M.Ed., and a Ph.D.!
See how quickly just a few changes in the way you go about your schoolwork can make a huge difference in your results. Over 40 years of teaching experience, and many more years as a lifelong learner taught me a multitude of simple, yet highly effective strategies and powerful resources for improving students’ grades. There are over 100 of them in this book. In addition, there are dozens of helpful links to student-friendly sites full of additional useful and easy-to -learn strategies. These skills work! My students and I have successfully used every one of them at one time or another. Using them is like having a tutor at your side as you study.
The icing on the cake is that when you register your ebook version, you will receive free annual updates with even more tips and links to helpful free student resources. You will also receive our monthly To the Top newsletter with even more helpful strategies for success in school. Remember the $10 000 scholarship I earned? That was certainly an excellent return on investment! Wouldn’t you agree?
100+ Genuinely Easy, Unconditionally Guaranteed, Success Strategies for Students can help you succeed in school, too. Just a few skills applied consistently will increase your marks by at least one grade level -- GUARANTEED! Try them. See firsthand how these tips can improve your grades. I am so sure they will, I guarantee it for one full year! If this eBook (or the paperback version) fails to help you raise your marks by at least one grade level, simply let me know and I will refund your investment! That's it: no tricks or gimmicks! If you find the skills don't work for you, simply send me an email. I will cancel your free annual updates and refund your money, no questions asked.
100+ Genuinely Easy, Unconditionally Guaranteed, Success Strategies for Students can change your school life. Your purchase includes FREE UPDATES each September for as long as you keep your information updated. You pay for this eBook and annual updates once and once only!

About the Author
Notification
The material in this book is the product of more than 40 years of teaching and even more years of continuing education and course taking—really! During that time, I learned many strategies to improve my grades—and yours. These ideas came from students, teaching colleagues, parents, and from years of personal experience. At this point in my working life, I no longer always know from whom I learned which skills. Where I am aware of a particular source of a winning idea, I have cited it. Otherwise, I have not. I apologize for any errors or omissions that I may have made regarding sources. They are unintentional. In future editions, I will gladly correct any errors validly brought to my attention.
A Word About Grammar
Here and there throughout this book, there are phrasings that are not strictly correct grammar. The art of communication depends more on
