Smart people learn from many sources, pick specific pieces and tidbits, experiment with them, and gradually form their own mental encyclopedia of "Stuff That Works."
I've been a fan of the College Info Geek YouTube channel and podcast for years now, but even though I learn a lot from each new upload (and rewatch), there's something about the book format that my brain is better at processing — so it's a pity that it's taken me so long to finally get around to reading this! I did already know some of the things Thomas brings up in this book, but to be fair I keep up with his content as it comes out, and I'm the kind of person who procrastinates by reading productivity articles.
This book tackles both the how and why behind improvements you can make to your approach to student-ing, with flexibility to accommodate different learning styles and personal preferences. Nothing is set in stone because everyone thinks and works differently, but this is a great starting point to figure out the best practices for yourself.
Thomas Frank, who also keeps College Info Geek, has written a very good book on how to just generally do better in school. Reading it and complementing with his YouTube channel or blog posts is a really good idea, as the book gives 10 more general tips on how to do better, while his YouTube channel and blog goes more in depth of specific aspects, such as different study techniques.
I'm doing self-studying and online learning and am not in college or university, but I feel this book is helpful to anyone who wants to do better in their studies, even when not all of the material applies to your specific situation. It won't take you long to get through it either, as the book isn't long, but still has some excellent information that could help anyone to do better in school and spend less time on it. (Unless you only ever cram the day before an exam. Then you'll have to study more.)

A 3.5 read. There are some very very useful tips that I'm certain I'm going to use in the future, however, there were still a lot of things I've heard of prior. If you're new in the productivity/school space, I highly recommend because you will get a lot out of this book.
A good resource for guidance. I started learning to learn from it.
Also, it summarizes almost all the early videos of his YouTube Channel.

Brilliant. Love Thomas Frank's work, and this book is really helpful, while also being easy to read and understand, as well as humorous. It offers intelligent insights into productivity and other things that are important to students. Would definitely recommend you check it out, and it's available for free download from his website (which is also excellent) College Info Geek.
This eBook has been lying down online in my Google drive for a year before I decided to read it. Why did I delay lmao? It's an amazing book with awesome content and I love the wits. It's very practical for a student like me. Not reading this book would be a great loss.
I compact and highly usefull little book. Would recommend to anyone who's trying to develop habits, organize their life and be more productive as a result. I will certainly re-read certain passages.
Don't let yourself be fooled by the name, this book is so much more than just a guideline for getting straight A's.
It was incredibly helpful for me, since it not only clearly pointed out the things I have to do in order to improve my academic performance, but also showed me that I'm on the right track already. So, whether you struggle with planning, group projects or reading tasks, or even if you just want to make sure that you're doing your best, I believe this is the right choice.
(I don't normally write reviews, but Thomas is one of my favourite "internet people" and I thought that this is the least I can do in exchange for all the helpful stuff not just in his book, but also College Info Geek.)

buku yang luar biasa, sesuai dengan judulnya berisikan langkah-langkah bagaimana mendapatkan nilai yang bagus. Namun lebih menekankan pada bagaimana menghasilkan suatu hasil yang maksimal dengan waktu yang lebih singkat. Penjelasannya juga mudah dimengerti sehingga saya rasa dapat diterapkan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari.
