I read this one, and I bought the original one (it has a purple cover), my friend and I both got them. It has EVERYTHING in it. I love the timelines in the front that tell you a to do list for the month. I'm a senior this year and it doesn't matter when you buy it, it is so helpful. My copy is covered in sticky notes and annotated with other things I need to remember. It's also thin enough that I carry it with me to school and in my purse so that I can do college planning. My next step is filling out applications and application essays (which worry me), which this book will help me with. Overall I highly recommend it if you are in high school and plan to go to a traditional 4 year college.

I love the calendar of stuff you need to accomplish, that's the best part! If you're detail oriented and love to-do lists, calendars, and stuff like that, you'll especially love this book. It keeps everything in line for you, so you don't have to. & It's pretty straightforward and basic, so don't sweat it. Even if you're not list-oriented, you'll love this little guide. Worth the money. I recommend grabbing it up when you're in 10th grade, because their little calendar list starts that early. :)
