I'd definitely recommend this book as more of a "reference" book. The strategies are really useful. One downside about the book is that it tries to cover way too much... it even gets into improving your SAT scores - I personally think that it should concentrate more on what it's intended to teach. My favorite part is the planned out list of things to do in your high school career to maximize your chance at the desired colleges.
