Better grades - without burnout

Most students believe that top grades are the result of endless cramming, stress, pressure and exhausting all-nighters. But Cal Newport - internationally bestselling author and Professor at Georgetown University - shows that real academic success comes from a different approach: studying smarter, not harder.


In How to Become a Straight-A Student, Newport reveals practical, proven strategies for mastering every aspect of academic life, from quizzes and mock tests to final exams, essays, coursework and papers, without anxiety.


Drawing on the habits of top students, this book distils their methods into a clear, effective system that anyone can follow. The result is a smarter, calmer, more efficient way to study - helping you achieve your best possible results while still having time to enjoy life with your friends and relax.
