My Take on the Book

This was a great book. As someone that worked in college admissions for years, being ready for everything after high school is SO important. This book is full of great principles that will help any high school student towards success and the workbook that you get as a free download is even better! This version of the book incorporates scripture and biblical lessons that are not included in the other version of this book. The author uses faith to show that no matter what is set in front of you you can still overcome these to be stronger in the end. 

The book is practical and easy to read. This is made for any high school student or their parent to easily pick up and put to work right away. You will find examples that make sense and steps that are easily followed. The book guides the reader through so many things that you really have to address during high school and the author does it in a way that is on the level of the reader! This is a book I highly recommend for all high school students (or their parents)!

Book Review - The High School Survival Guide

About the Book

We’re all told to study hard in high school but none of us are ever taught HOW to study, let alone how to balance the increasing workload and demands of teenage life.So many students feel anxious, stressed and overwhelmed at the thought of starting high school because they think it means they are going to be given so much homework they will feel like they’re drowning. They feel a huge pressure to succeed, that they neglect other areas of their lives, which makes life more stressful and their grades actually suffer! But what if I told you that you don’t have to fall into this trap? That you can LOVE high school, form amazing friendships, grow your confidence, excel academically, feel proud of your achievements and at the same time, feel 100% supported! You don’t have to sacrifice your life to get through high school and I am going to show you step-by-step exactly how to do it and become your most organised, productive, motivated and confident self! My grandmother, who is full of wisdom but also fiery like the Mediterranean blood coursing through her veins, shared something with me that I always keep in mind, especially as I wrote this book. One day, when I was feeling overwhelmed, she ask me, “Jessica, how do you eat an elephant?” Then she answered, “One bite at a time.”

This is exactly what I do in The High School Survival Guide. I help you focus on each area of your life one step (or bite) at a time, from setting up the ideal study space, organising your study schedule and strategically revising for exams, to building your confidence, tackling study-stress and anxiety, avoiding burnout, and setting effective goals!
This book is for you if:

Whether you want to improve your grades, stress less, get organised, re-gain your confidence, or boost your motivation and productivity, The High School Survival Guide will teach you how to get the MOST out of your high school experience.

Inside, you'll learn:

• How to identify which study techniques work best for YOU
• How to increase your productivity
• How to improve your focus during class
• How to avoid burnout and manage study related stress and anxiety
• How to throw the ultimate study party and make revising fun!

It’s also filled with study tips and tricks, mini summaries and helpful exercises to put your new skills into practice!



My Take on the Book
As someone that has a student going into high school I was very interested in getting this for her so she could be ready for everything that was coming ahead. The book itself was a great read and every section had a ton of actionable tips from the examples that the author continues to share from chapter to chapter. The book was an easy read and definitely is one that I know my daughter will refer back to after reading it the first time.
