Features of the Book

A you-can-do-it book … easy to read … written just for teens.

Short, lively chapters move quickly. Pages are filled with activities, bulleted points, lists of do’s and don’ts, and stories about college students.

Questionnaires help you understand yourself. You know those questionnaires you find in magazines? Each strategy begins with one. After you finish the chapter, you can see how your answers compare to what you’ve just learned.

Valuable tools and tips help you become college smart. Throughout Are You Really Ready For College? you’ll find useful tools and must-know tips to help you manage your courses — now and later when courses get tougher in college.

Student stories show you how the strategies work. “Meredith’s Battle with Biology” or “Matt Gets Rid of His Stress” show college students who —

• succeed by using one of Dr. Bob's strategies
• get themselves into long-term trouble by not using the strategy

Dr. Bob comments on the student stories, and his insights will help you avoid making the mistakes that hurt so many students.You’ll learn insider information. Discover what makes college different than high school and how the strategy prepares you to handle the difference.
