Review: Excellent book, not just for students, but for anyone wanting to learn. - I ordered this book on a Friday and less than a week later I received it and read it from cover to cover. It is a very good book, there is no doubt about that. It's a lot slimmer and smaller than I thought it would be but nevertheless, it packs a punch. Newport's style of writing is direct and can easily be devoured in a short space of time. Initially I thought this book was a little too simplistic and didn't go into enough detail on what the students actually did when it came to studying for their exams etc. However on reflection, once you understand the basics of the study methods highlighted, e.g. the question/evidence/conclusion method of note taking or the "quiz and recall" method of actually learning the material, you don't need page after page of detailed explanation on how to physically do these things. A couple of sentences of explanation is plenty. What is more important, as this book highlights, is the preparation, planning, time management and scheduling that Newport adopts throughout, to turn what could be no more than a handful of quick tips into a full study strategy. At the heart of this strategy is the idea of efficiency. That is the key to everything. You get the good grades as a result of working smarter not harder. More done, of higher quality, in less time. The book also points out, albeit somewhat indirectly, that using these methods will probably help your physical and mental health and well-being, simply through thorough planning and organisation to reduce STRESS. I graduated from university about 8 years ago. I bought this book in order to learn how to study more effectively for non-University endeavours on which I will shortly be embarking. All the way through reading the book I was smiling, but at the same time cursing. The text highlighted every area in which I was lacking way back in 2001 when I went from school to university. It reminded me how shockingly inexperienced and woefully under prepared I was. I really wish that someone had given me a copy of this book to read, or sat me down and explained to me the benefits of a similar approach as I'm convinced I would have done a lot better academically and socially at university as a result, rather than being lost in a sea of stress and despair. It shows that studying is a skill just like any other, that can be learned and practised. The interesting thing this book highlights which won't even come up in most discussions of effective learning and studying, is that good academic grades have far more to do with planning and time management than they do with being allegedly "gifted". Clearly you need to have a baseline level of intelligence, but after that, it's all about consistently deploying an effective system. This book is that system. If you are a student, or if you are anybody about to study any subject as part of a course, or just for personal development, I strongly recommend you get this book because it will make you realise the error of your ways and could save you an awful lot of time, effort and heartache. If you are a teacher, lecturer or professor of any kind then I also recommend that you get this book, as this is exactly the sort of thing that you should teach all of your students as soon as possible. This is a truly excellent book, although the academics amongst you will probably write it off as being too simplistic. That would be a mistake. Its power is in its simplicity. Review: Does what is says on the tin - I went from a mixture of As and Bs to straight As. I can't really ask for any more than that. It may have been written long ago but good study advice is for the ages. ## Features - A good option for a Book Lover - It comes with proper packaging - Compact for travelling ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 154,537 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 149 in Test Preparation for Young Adults 261 in Study & Learning Skills for Educational Students 7,488 in Health, Family & Lifestyle Self Help | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 3,012 Reviews | ## Images ![How to Become a Straight-A Student: The Unconventional Strategies Real College Students Use to Score High While Studying Less - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71asonBFVIL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book, not just for students, but for anyone wanting to learn. *by A***. on 12 April 2013* I ordered this book on a Friday and less than a week later I received it and read it from cover to cover.

It is worth reading and should really be a staple book for those going off to college or university. ## Frequently Bought Together - How to Become a Straight-A Student: The Unconventional Strategies Real College Students Use to Score High While Studying Less - How to Win at College: Surprising Secrets for Success from the Country's Top Students - How to Be a High School Superstar: A Revolutionary Plan to Get into College by Standing Out (Without Burning Out) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/47957178-how-to-become-a-straight-a-student-the-unconventional-strategies](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/47957178-how-to-become-a-straight-a-student-the-unconventional-strategies) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-07-14*
