GET BETTER GRADES

IN COLLEGE

Does it feel like you don't get the grades you should get for the work you have done and the amount you know ?

Would it be possible for you to get more marks, not just by trying to learn more but by making some simple changes to the way you present what you do know in your coursework and exam scripts?

http://get2grips.50webs.com

There are things other than a student's knowledge that examiners value when assigning grades.

This ebook has 33 chapters of suggestions on how to improve your grades with thirty three short chapters, each covering specific and practical techniques that will help you GET BETTER GRADES.
