High School and College students are under tremendous pressure to earn top grades for college and graduate school admissions. Unfortunately, few students are taught strategies on how to earn top grades. Most people think they are either "smart" or "not so smart" in various subjects and that determines whether or not a student does well in a class. This simply isn't true. The author of this book received a failing grade in a course and later on earned an "A" in the same subject. The strategies that led to the author failing a course to earning an "A" in the same subject can be found in this book. These strategies were used frequently in other courses which led to the author getting accepted into graduate school. Because of this, the author wants high school, college, and adult learners to learn these techniques to increase their chances of attending the college or graduate school of their dreams.

An up-close look at the education arms race of after-school learning, academic competitions, and the perceived failure of even our best schools to educate children Beyond soccer leagues, music camps, and drama lessons, today’s youth are in an education arms race that begins in elementary school. In Hyper Education, Pawan Dhingra uncovers the growing world of high-achievement education and the after-school learning centers, spelling bees, and math competitions that it has spawned. It is a world where immigrant families vie with other Americans to be at the head of the class, putting in hours of studying and testing in order to gain a foothold in the supposed meritocracy of American public education. A world where enrichment centers, like Kumon, have seen 194 percent growth since 2002 and target children as young as three. Even families and teachers who avoid after-school academics are getting swept up. Drawing on over 100 in-depth interviews with teachers, tutors, principals, children, and parents, Dhingra delves into the why people participate in this phenomenon and examines how schools, families, and communities play their part. Moving past "Tiger Mom" stereotypes, he addresses why Asian American and white families practice what he calls "hyper education" and whether or not it makes sense. By taking a behind-the-scenes look at the Scripps National Spelling Bee, other national competitions, and learning centers, Dhingra shows why good schools, good grades, and good behavior are seen as not enough for high-achieving students and their parents and why the education arms race is likely to continue to expand.
