About the Author

School Skills founder and author Chris Tobias brings a varied world of experience to the game of academic success. After self-described ‘dog paddling’ his way through high school and an abortive attempt at college, Mr. Tobias was thrown head first into the turbulent world of emerging computer technologies. “I had to learn and learn fast.” he says “We would get a new computer system every 3 months, with all new software and systems. We would learn it in the evening, then sell it the next day to customers. Then we had to train them too.” With more than 15 years of work in fast-paced computer, technology, Mr. Tobias returned to graduate school for an advanced degree. “I flunked badly” he admits “because I really had no idea how to manage school or learn in an organized way.” Over summer break, Mr. Tobias called on his experience as a corporate trainer and Six Sigma process improvement leader to research and build a complete academic success training program. “I designed the academic success class for myself because graduate school was just overwhelming. It worked so well that I ended up in the top of my class.” After graduating Mr. Tobias started School Skills to offer academic success seminars for students from Junior High to College levels. “A lot of kids are dog paddling through school without any personal plan for success. It’s stressful and gets in the way of real learning. I love to see the light bulb come on when students in our seminars realize they can get school under control and really make it work.”

Editorial Reviews

101 Secrets to Passing Any Test is unlike other test prep books I have seen. It contains some strategies that may be a little outside the box, but they actually make a lot of sense. Working "smarter not harder" definitely seems to be the unofficial mantra of this book. It has very practical and fun tips to help students be successful on tests and examinations. Try it!
