How to Succeed in High School and Prep for College

by Phyllis Zimbler Miller

Terrific for an 8th grade graduation gift:

Do you know teens entering high school who are concerned about the next stage of their lives? How well will they do in high school? What about the big obstacle of applying to college?

While HOW TO SUCCEED IN HIGH SCHOOL AND PREP FOR COLLEGE is ideally targeted at students entering 9th grade, the information can be of valuable help to students at any grade in high school.

And this book is NOT only for the best students. This book is expressly written for all students -- encouraging them to follow their passions.

I would love for parents, teachers and mentors to read this book and then recommend it to the teens they know.

And if you know older young people, there are two more books in this series for them:

How to Succeed in College and Prep for Beyond College

How to Succeed Beyond College

Bonus: All 3 books include exercises to encourage teens and young adults to practice the skills that can help them in high school, college and beyond.

I won this book in a first reads giveaway!

As a high school teacher looking at incoming freshmen, it's often difficult to pin point suggestions to help students get on the path of college success right from the beginning.

I will be sharing advice and suggestions gained from this book with my students after I add it to our classroom library!

Great book for a graduation gift!

This book is HUGE information for high school students who are preparing for colleges. Most of the tips of Miller is very valuable to help student succeed in various sphere such as Sat score, club activities, community services,... The disadvantage of counselors nowadays is that they have so much work to do and the ratio with students also a big gap. Still, our counselors may just share with general information of how to where to submit essays, what GPA we need,... but not up to specific details how to impress the interviewers, what strategy to be on top of the list,... this book does a great job to aid students in these questions. In short, the author uses her own experience and pieces of stories to help specially college-bound students determine where to go in the future. The only downside, in my opinion, is that Miller focuses mostly on 4-year universities but does not mention about community colleges which is sad because that is what I will apply to. I am eager to see Miller updates more in the next two books of this serie

My eldest daughter is starting the 9th grade this year and I am both apprehensive and excited for her. Time is flying by before my eyes and she has grown up over night. Lately I have been accumulating resources that would assist her in the future. I feel that it is important to understand what type of competition she will be having at school and how her choices in high school will affect her choices of colleges. I really appreciate the free copy that the author gave to me in a goodreads giveaway. This resource has been a fountain of knowledge for both myself and daughter. I plan on keeping this copy for several years and getting a copy for my niece. I highly recommend this book and ask parents to please consider adding this book to your library. Our kids grow up so fast that we should try to prepare them for reality in both high school and college! Thank you author and goodreads for sending this book! It was very much needed and appreciated! :)
