Berkeley, CA, July 29, 2014 – Monica Betson-Montgomery knows exactly what it takes to give kids a competitive ‘edge’ when preparing them for college – during her career she has personally read and scored more than 20,000 freshman applications for the University of California at Berkeley!
Combining her vast experience and knowledge, Montgomery came up with a comprehensive, successful strategy for better preparing children to be competitive college applicants. The Keys to College: A Road Map for Parents to Guide Their Children (MM & Associates) by Monica Betson-Montgomery is a resourceful handbook that demystifies the steps needed to prepare parents and their children for college. Written in a no-nonsense, easy-to-understand style, this book is a must-read for parents wanting to effectively navigate their way through their student’s educational career, from grade school through high school – and beyond!
Packed with concise and accurate information, it offers powerful tools for any parent dedicated to the ongoing education of their student. Chapters include topics such as, Reaching Out for Help, Establishing Good Study Habits, College Pre-Requisites & Recommended Subjects, Different Types of Colleges and, of special interest to many, a chapter on Financing College. Also, in a chapter titled Sample Student Profiles, the author not only gives essay examples but goes on to analyze the essay’s that include assessments. Her examples and explanations are well thought out and easy to follow and the assessments are extremely enlightening.
