About the Book

Books for college students tend to be written by committee or college professors or administrators, highly detailed, and pedantic. They are often written as much for parents as for the students themselves. They provide information, but their goal is not to help in ways that students are concerned about. And because they are written by those long out of college, it is difficult for students to connect with the advice. College Fast Track is written by a peer student—a highly successful college student who went on to success in law school. As a current law student when writing his first book, Law School Fast Track (upon which this book is based), the author remains highly aware of the issues facing the current student. Rather than being highly detailed, College Fast Track focuses on immediately usable habits. Its goal is to help students improve in measurable ways, and in ways that provide greater—not less—time for enjoyment: success and less stress! Once college begins, however, the reading load is enormous (and parties beckon), thus "extra-curricular" reading is unappealing. College Fast Track is easy to read, pertaining to the essential habits for success in college. Unlike other books on college, this book will not be over-laden with details about mundane issues. Instead, College Fast Track cuts right to the most important issues. Better success, easier study, and higher grades and graduation prospects.

About the Author :
Derrick Hibbard currently lives in Massachusetts. He is the author of the Fast Track Series, about establishing good habits in law school and college that lead to success as a student. He is also the author of the novels "This Side of Eden," "The Double Stroller Hand Grenade," "Impish," and his latest: "The Snow Swept Trilogy." Attorney, adjunct professor of business law, and author of The Young Lawyer's Jungle Book: A Survival Guide; Law School: Getting In, Getting Good, Getting the Gold; and Con Law: Avoiding...or Beating...the Scam of the Century (The Real Student's Guide to Law School and the Legal Profession).

Review :
"College Fast Track is a quick 'how to' manual that affectively hits the key areas of college academic life. Everything from setting goals to effective reading and even taking exams. Since I was a career college student and took what seemed forever to graduate, I appreciated the simple way Derrick approaches the subject matter. At no point did I feel I was reading a text book or a complicated 'how to' manual. Instead it was fun and light hearted and kept me interested in the next chapter. Even though I have graduated I found myself reading and wishing I had applied some of his ideas early on. One chapter in particular stood out to me was about note taking. I used to write notes for hours and hours when I was in college. At some point I gave up and just tried to do quicker outlines for my notes and I found my comprehension level increased. When Derrick mentions this same technique I felt validated in my skills. I wish had known this for my first couple of years of college and could have saved a ton of time in studying. All the more reason why this is a must have for any college student. Filled with a number of examples, ideas, and concepts that is surely to get the college student thinking on how they can improve and even get the future student excited to attend school. Developing these habits, as Derrick puts it, '...is doing things without thinking...' and will enhance the students ability to quickly make smart decisions in their college career. Students will find this easy to read and may even use it as a reference guide as they are getting overwhelmed in school. As the student prepares for a test they may want to reference the section on exam rituals and how it can stimulate the mind by listening to the same music or eating the same things they did while studying. College Fast track will improve the average college students chances at success and prepare them for a rewarding career. Well worth the this quick read! He has a number of other books including the Fast Track book on Law School as well." Ben Markland , Blog: From Where I Sit in the World, December 10, 2013
