The A Game: Nine Steps To Better Grades Paperback – September 5, 2014

I purchased "The A Game: Nine Steps to Better Grades" after hearing Dr. Ken Sufka speak to an auditorium full of potential Ole Miss students on Saturday, November 2, 2013. Sitting next to my soon to be Ole Miss college freshman daughter, I found myself nodding in agreement with every point made. My daughter, already a strong "A" student with good study skills, was not overly impressed. The difference in high school study skills and college level study skills is lost on her. Helping her learn to apply the strategies (especially concept mapping) during her remaining months of high school will better prepare her for the rigor of study necessary to succeed in college. As an independent college admission consultant, I purchased several copies to share with students and parents to aid in their preparation for university level work. Thank you, Dr. Sufka, for sharing your research and providing guidance to help students succeed. I only wish I had had a copy with me on Saturday to ask Dr. Sufka to autograph!

Dr. Sufka covers a simple and effective program that will help any student develop better study habits. I'm an honor student, but I find myself overwhelmed, at times, in balancing my time efficiently in some courses. I believe the advice presented in this book, by Dr. Sufka, will continue to be invaluable to myself, or any other student, in maintaining good grade averages. High grades are definitely worth the effort, especially when you consider the monetary rewards of scholarships and the competition in the job markets. Thank you Dr. Sufka for taking the time to write a book that is so beneficial.

This book really helped me up my game when it comes to studying for vet school! It is a concise book and thin enough to fit in your backpack. It is written by a college professor and really helped me!

Its a good book i bought it after meeting him at ole miss

This book was a requirement for my Biology class. I was surprised, because it was not a 'biology' book, however this is a GREAT book for any high school or college student. I was really happy reading this book, and took it to a friend who teaches at the community college. College is not cheap and textbooks cast as much as tuition sometimes. This book is affordable and totally worth it!

This book could have been a 2 page pdf. It did not need to be a book. Each chapter could have been a handful of sentences.

As someone who spent the better part of 23 years in school, I can say with some authority that this is an excellent book for students but especially for rising college freshmen. It has become a vital part of every high school graduation gift package I give.

It's a relatively decent book and is very short. Included with personal experiences at the beginning of each chapter. He makes generally vague statements most of the time and honestly doesn't account for half the student population. I might think it would be worth the money for $5 but at $10 I wouldn't advise it. Most of his facts are pretty standard things that are nearly common sense.
