30 Sat Questions You’ll See on Test Day
The SAT is one of the most important tests you’ll ever take, and nothing is worse than discovering your areas of weakness on test day. 30 Questions You’ll See on the SAT is a free SAT prep book that contains the most common questions that you’re almost guaranteed to see on test day. Whether you’ve been working through the College Board’s SAT prep book of 8 practice tests, or you haven’t yet done any SAT prep whatsoever, this eBook will help you diagnose your weaknesses so you can get one step closer to being ready for test day. FAQ WITH THE AUTHOR Q: How should I use this guide? A: Go through the 30 questions and see what concepts you’re getting wrong. No matter where you are in your journey of SAT prep, this guide is designed to provide you with feedback about your weaknesses. Focusing on your mistakes is key to bring your performance to the next level. There are detailed explanations to each problem, so when you get a question wrong, you can understand why you chose what you did, and learn from your mistake. Q: Will this book help me in my SAT Math prep? A: I wanted to focus on the most easily improvable concepts, so the questions focus only on Math and Writing and Language questions. Q: How did you decide what 30 question types to use? A: I’ve taken every SAT practice test available to me and categorized each question by concept. I cover all of these question types with my personal clients that pay me hundreds of dollars per hour to help them boost their scores. Q: What are other good resources I should be using in my prep? A: You always want to make sure your practice test sections are as authentic as possible, so if you aren’t using it already, make sure you get the College Board’s Official SAT Study Guide 2018. It has 8 practice tests and was put together by the makers of the SAT. If you already took all 8 practice tests in the College Board book, The Official ACT Prep Book 2018 by the test makers of the ACT has 4 practice tests that test extremely similar concepts (with the exception of the Science section).

A Tale of Heroes – Book 1: of Children and Dragons: an Adventure in the Hero’s Tale World of Wynne
There’s someone kidnapping the street kids in Twynne Rivers! DeFrantis is a young human girl living on the streets, trying to eke out a living in the sprawling city, and she has problems. First, after a botched attempt to steal a chicken, she’s on the run. Second, for some reason, someone other than the City Guard is trying to hunt her down. Finally, the poor kids she was trying to feed got sold off to slavers. She has to save them, but first, she has to find them! Along the way, she gets help from strangers: Antonerri, a soldier turned heretic – Thissraelle, an elven mage girl; Granthurg, the studious giant; and Karendle, a half-dwarf wizard wannabe ….But who is the Dragon’s Flame? “…Each of these characters emerges from wildly differing circumstances, and have unique perspectives and goals, which don’t always neatly align with those of their companions, and in some cases can leave them wondering if they’re even fighting on the right side. It’s that searching and self-doubt — all while being swept up by larger events — that makes these players in this little drama so fascinating.” – Doug Bedwell, Author of “A Counterfeit Princess” and “Robot Captain” This story is based on the setting and system of the table-top role-playing game, “A Tale of Heroes” By Mark Hansen, Brendon Hansen, and Jacob Hansen. It’s a family-friendly, story-driven system designed to help families enjoy time together. Roll Dice – Build Character Read more$0.00$1.99 -
Robinson Crusoe
Robinson Crusoe is a novel by Daniel Defoe, first published on 25 April 1719. The first edition credited the work’s protagonist Robinson Crusoe as its author, leading many readers to believe he was a real person and the book a travelogue of true incidents. Epistolary, confessional, and didactic in form, the book is presented as an autobiography of the title character (whose birth name is Robinson Kreutznaer) – a castaway who spends 28 years on a remote tropical desert island near the coasts of Venezuela and Trinidad, roughly resembling Tobago, encountering cannibals, captives, and mutineers before being rescued. The story has been thought to be based on the life of Alexander Selkirk, a Scottish castaway who lived for four years on a Pacific island called “Más a Tierra” (now part of Chile) which was renamed Robinson Crusoe Island in 1966. Despite its simple narrative style, Robinson Crusoe was well received in the literary world and is often credited as marking the beginning of realistic fiction as a literary genre. It is generally seen as a contender for the first English novel. Before the end of 1719, the book had already run through four editions, and it has gone on to become one of the most widely published books in history, spawning so many imitations, not only in literature but also in film, television, and radio, that its name is used to define a genre, the Robinsonade.

Spark: Careen’s Prequel to the Resistance Series
“What was our heroine Careen Catecher like BEFORE she became a firebrand for the Resistance? Well, she was just a normal teenage girl trying to survive college in the totalitarian state of Tracy Lawson’s creation.” –review by Patrick Hodges “Careen is a believable, strong female protagonist who, having survived a harrowing terrorist attack, is now trying to survive [college] in a new ‘Quadrant’ where she can’t seem to fit in.” –review by Candace Williams A strong heroine is made, not born.
