Every College Bound student needs this book!!!
I Love this book!
As a high school counselor, I recommended this to many of my seniors. Their parents where very thankful. It is a thorough treatment of the college admissions process. My favorite part is in the financial aid section, where they discuss good award letters, vs poor award letters.
Each chapter ends with a to do list, as well as many online resources. The workbook style gives students a much needed organizational piece to keep track of everything in one location.

Excellent Resource
One of the most complete books on the subject I've found yet. Very complete and detailed information, especially on financial aid, written with common sense and information I could understand and use. By following the financial aid information, we ended up with an excellent financial aid package. ... Read more

Product Description
This is the audiobook version of the best-selling paperback College Confidence with ADD. However, it includes additional information not found anywhere else.Parents should consider the paperback for themselves, but the audiobook for their children. Students can play it directly on their iPod or favorite mp3 player, and even listen while doing other things or on the go. A unique audiobook that's broken down into easy to search chapters for quick reference - for instance how to study for that big upcoming test or large paper due next week. This is a powerful tool for students before, during, and even after the college years. ... Read more

Best audiobook for all AD/HD students and adults - Why I Prefer It., September 19, 2008

I bought the audiobook after getting the paperback. I found it's not just the perfect complement, but even better for covering many topics because I could listen while driving, on my way to class, or in the background at home while doing other things. Since I'm easily distracted myself, the chimes helped keep my focus on the book, and though I love the paperback and the layout (super-easy to read) the audiobook made it even easier to follow...and I think there's even a little info in the audiobook (particularly around meds and alternative solutions...at least that's what I've seen so far, that's not even in the paperback...and yeah, at 13 hours, thankfully broken up into searchable, bite-sized sections, it's definitely UNABRIDGED...but with great info!)

It's rare that a book (or audiobook) comes along that touches your heart while helping you relate to specific problems.

College Confidence with ADD is one such book. Written from the heart, Michael Sandler doesn't preach, but instead shares with you the hurdles involved in succeeding with ADHD, or any learning disability for that matter, how he personally overcame his challenges, and ways you too can succeed.

It's really two books in one...the first, a personal account of overcoming challenges, succeeding with a 'disability', and as Michael puts it, and shares through his own story, turning 'challenges into opportunities'. It's a beautiful book written from the heart sharing his touching stories.

The second book is a how-to guide on overcoming almost every challenge imaginable, and succeeding in school or in life today. Others I've shown this book would say it's a how-to guide for anyone in this modern, hectic, crazy-world. But it's definitely a how-to guide for anyone that think's outside the box, doesn't go from point A to point B in a straight line, or is labeled with AD/HD, Asbergers, Dyslexia, or any other 'learning disability'.

Michael helps readers quickly find the information they, or I am looking for, so that you can get back on track quickly. If you're struggling for a test, the info's in there...need to get organized, it's in there, struggling with relationships in school or beyond, it's in there too.

If you struggle to read, don't have the attention to read, have a reading disability or just prefer audiobooks, then I'd get the audiobook first...or get both, and keep the paperback as a great quick-reference guide, always at the ready. (Or let the parents keep the paperback, and put the audio-version on your iPod or other Mp3 player).

If you're looking for one book or audiobook to overcome challenges, see how others have done it, and figure out how to succeed, this book is worth a try!!!

Truly Amazing resource for ANYONE with ADD or ADHD!!!!!
I can't say enough about how terrific and unique this audio book is not only for teens going off to college, in college, post grads... but for ANYONE with ADD or ADHD!!This book is explained in a format where the author shares his stories and then details what he has learned from his experiences, in order to help others.He has ADHD himself and is even a life coach for other ADDers now.This audio book is like having an ADD coach by your side all the time.You can use it as a guide and listen to various sections when necessary or you can listen to it fully over and over again.The author's writing is captivating, lighthearted and even humorous at times.He even laughs at his own mistakes sometimes, which truly helps readers see life as a bigger picture than just a current struggle they may be going through at the time.He explains the many creative gifts of having ADD and broaches just about every life topic with great knowledge.His sections range from the best foods for an ADDer to eat to stay focused, to sections on how college students with ADD can keep a great schedule for eating, laundry, and cleaning.He also broaches much deeper sections on depression and impulse behaviors of ADDers.This audio book is a captivating and highly educational resourse!! FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow!
Useful and informative! Love how things are broken up into sections...No matter what information I was looking for, I could find it fast!

Way more information than I ever thought would be in an ADD book, audiobook or otherwise. ... Read more
