Do it if you can! It is one of the best times of life for many people and absolutely the best for some. Now that it is the exam season it is a good time to think about what you will do when you pass and go on to uni. To help you settle down quickly and do well, I have written a book called Going to University: the Secrets of Success. You can see this below right with a blue cover. This book is for sale. Everything else on this site is free. The book will not only help you settle down quickly, it could help you gain better marks in exams, write better essays, present a good tutorial or seminar, and give a great role-playing oral presentation. It does even more than helping you to get to university and succeed there: it teaches you life skills which could get you a better and more  

ANOTHER REVIEWERS' COMMENTS ABOUT GOING TO UNIVERSITY (by a Durham University student)

“... Bucknall's engaging writing style and genuine belief that 'life is beautiful' shine through...  As a well-constructed and concise offering,you can dip into the chapters on oral presentations and end of year exams, for example, at the appropriate times of the year.”

Note: If you want any particular individual Course Unit, you can download all of these as separate units below.
