About this title

Synopsis

Aimed at all students, young or mature, who want to get the best possible degree. Whether they are aiming for a First or simply want to avoid a low class degree, this book will tell them how to do it. A stylish, clever and often subversive strategy for getting the best possible university grade, written by a 23 year old who got a 2:2 at university and then went on to take an MBA at the age of only 22. Seeing that he was the youngest and least experienced person on the course, and by no means academically the brightest, he devised a strategy for avoiding utter humiliation. To his amazement he came top in the first term. He and his twin brother - also on the course - developed the strategy further and at the end of the course they were the only two students to gain outright distinctions (equivalent to a first class degree). This is how he did it.
