Fiske Countdown to College: 41 To-Do Lists and a Plan for Every Year of High School

We bought these for my elder son ... the college consultant said that they are superior to all of the others - especially US News' version.The FISKE GUIDES are actually FANTASTIC _ and have info that isn't found in any of the others.We highly recommend them - and will be getting them for my younger two kids when it's their turn!

I use this book with the youth I work with. Very useful information for parents, advisors, etc.

A great basic book to help you figure out what you need to do each year to help your child get ready for college... beginning with 9th grade. There are sections for the child to read, otherwise you could leave it laying out for them to read. Very good to help relieve you of stress and worry.

I am not going to say this is the end all be all book but it will get you going on the right track for sure. I just think it should really be read a few years before high school so that parents and students have time to prepare.

I purchased these books to help with a college advocate program, but I think it's most helpful before high school and in 9th grade.I will keep this in my reference library. It's helpful for me with my middle schooler. I would certainly recommendit, especially for the price.

this book seems to be very helpful in planning high school years. time will tell if my teen can stay on task.

great book

I didn't learn anything from this book. I am waiting for the new edition of the big Fiske book and got this in the meantime. It was a waste for me. Maybe if you really don't know ANYTHING it could be helpful?
