101 Ways to Score Higher on Your SAT Test: What You Need to Know about the Scholastic Aptitude Test Explained Simply by Marti Anne Maguire
101 Ways to Score Higher on Your SAT Test: What You Need to Know about the Scholastic Aptitude Test Explained Simply

Michael_K_Miller, March 8, 2010

The New 2010 SAT Changes Everything, But You Are Still the Most Important Variable in Your Future

Today's SAT is not your father's SAT - or even your older sister’s SAT. The SAT has changed significantly in form, focus, and duration even since 2004. Maguire proclaims that "the test has changed so much that no one over the age of 22 would recognize it."

Understanding and knowing how the SAT works and managing the stress, structure, rigor, and role of the SAT are crucial to producing a SAT score reflective of your current knowledge, abilities, and skills and indicative of your future potential and worth as a student within and representative of the university of your choice. Moreover, your future potential and worth extend beyond academia and expand into your subsequent, evolving professional and personal life.

Through "101 Ways," you will acquire this essential, requisite understanding and knowledge of how the SAT works. Through "101 Ways," you will learn how to manage the stress, structure, rigor, and role of the SAT. Fifteen chapters and nearly 300 pages lay the groundwork for the SAT's understanding, knowledge, and management. Supplementing and augmenting this main body is an Appendix of Internet Resources for the SAT addressing Overall SAT Preparation, Math Resources, and Reading and Writing Resources, a Bibliography of prime sources providing in-depth analyses and perspectives on the SAT, and a Glossary of terms and concepts central to understanding, knowing, and managing your SAT experience.

You are the key, independent variable in the SAT equation. The guidance offered and preparation framed by Maguire and Bissell afford you the information and guidance to control all dependent variables impacting the solution of that equation. Solve wisely.

Review: Four-Stars (you are the 5th)
An easy to follow guide to
understanding, preparing for, and doing well on the SAT

The Complete Guide to Building Your Own Tree House: For Parents, Kids, and Adults Who Are Kids at Heart by Robert Miskimon
The Complete Guide to Building Your Own Tree House: For Parents, Kids, and Adults Who Are Kids at Heart

Michael_K_Miller, March 8, 2010

Realize the Wonder of Childhood for Your Children & Reawaken Your Dreams from Childhood

Building Your Own Tree House is a roadmap for bringing childhood fantasies to life and reawakening adult imagination in life. Author Robert Miskimon succeeds in offering a detailed plan to realize the wonder of childhood for kids and to reawaken the dreams from childhood for adults.

Miskimon’s Tree House flows into your mind and heart in a crisp, clear writing style, complimented by engaging, compelling graphics and pictures and informative, helpful charts, tables, and diagrams. The content and substance of Tree House are organized and presented effectively and efficiently. In ten chapters from “Getting Your Feet on the Ground,” “Planning and Design,” “Tools and Materials,” and “Safety Concerns” through “Building the Platform,” “Doors, Walls, and Windows,” and “Raise High the Roof Beam” to “The Most Important Part: Getting the Kids Involved,” Miskimon’s Tree House joyfully lays out an easy-flowing and natural plan to bring your past and your children’s present into a shared future. Ten Case Studies drawn from actual tree house projects by lay tree house aficionados add personal perspectives to the tree house building experience. A 106-page Chapter 11 details step-by-step plans for 15 different, distinctive tree houses.

The Complete Guide to Building Your Own Tree House: for Parents and Adults Who Are Kids at Heart is a must read and do for adults from any time and for their children of any age. It is a five-star gift to every adult with unrealized childhood dreams and the adult responsibility and opportunity of parenthood.
