Check it out and let us know what you think! Key changes include:

The College Planning Workbook, Third Edition, 2009
The newly revised College Planning Workbook has been updated to reflect recent changes that have been taking place in the application process. Its redesigned format provides more reflective exercises with plenty of space for answers and record keeping, to-do lists, planning calendars and key interpretations of the process for students as they look for and compete for admission to colleges that fit them well. An excellent complement to Winning the College Admission Game: Strategies for Students and Parents, the Workbook is available at the TAG Bookstore on TheAdmissionGame.com website.
