Book Description
This is the book to help you, the student, do better at school. It will:

* help you with essay writing - with a list of do's and don'ts * show you how to do better in your tests and exams * advise you on how to improve your motivation to study * explain how to read different items at different speeds * tell you useful things like fighting stress and various ways of relaxing * all this in a fun and easily accessible way * and save you time as you learn how to do things more efficiently, which means you can actually spend more time doing the things you really like doing!

The improved marks that you can expect will improve your chances of both getting to university in the first place and being admitted to the one you really want to attend.

And it will make your transition to college easier, as it:

* introduces you to higher education and what to expect * tells you what to do when you first arrive at college and how to cope easily * gives advice on where to look for accommodation; how to save money and keep your level of debt down; and how you can live cheaply * shows you how to give seminars and tutorials in ways that can gain you high marks * and provides a lot of advice on how to do well in role-playing sessions!

The book also shows you how to learn the life-skills that will help you both get a better job after you graduate and then move up the ladder of success more quickly.

It is based on over 30 years experience in tutoring and university teaching in the UK and Australia, and lecturing in those countries as well as in China, Hong Kong, Thailand, and the United States. The author of 5 books Kevin Bucknall has been a Visiting Associate Member of St. Antony's College, Oxford, and a Visiting Fellow at the London School of Economics and the University of British Columbia, Canada.

Synopsis
Going to University: the Secrets of Success provides the information that you need to get to university, to settle down quickly, and do well there. University life is wonderful and exciting but many students find it mysterious and a little frightening at first. It can be hard to adjust to the high degree of academic freedom. This book will help to banish fears by explaining how to adapt to the pressures of your new course. You will learn what is expected of you and how to meet these demands. The skills you need are best learned in your first year or earlier but the information in this book will be of constant value during your entire time at university.
