Writing Workbook for the New SAT
90
 
 
Writing Workbook for the New SATThe totally restructured SAT college entrance exam that became effective in 2005 includes an entirely new and very important Writing Test, which consists of two main parts. First is a 25-minute period during which students must write an essay on a given topic. Later, students must answer multiple-choice questions that test their skill in correcting poorly-written sentences, finding mistakes in grammar and usage, and correcting mistakes in the first-draft version of a student essay. This manual familiarizes students with all aspects of the SAT Writing Test and presents review chapters and questions with answers that are designed to hone test-takers' skills. Also included is a helpful overview of the Writing Test and details on how student essays are scored. This manual presents five writing tests. The first introduces students to the test's format and the following four are similar to the actual SAT writing test in length and question types. All tests have answers and explanations, and come with instructions on how students can convert their practice test score to the familiar SAT scale of 200-800.

THE SINGLE GIRL’S GUIDE
17
 
 
THE SINGLE GIRL’S GUIDEBased on extensive research of single women (and men!) of all ages, The Single Girl's Guide is a tongue-in-cheek but practical manual on life management for all those who have yet to kiss their elusive Mr Darcy or Big, and are still fending off the odd frog...

Imogen Lloyd Webber, 30, is a Londoner living and loving the single girl's life. She's almost had as many bosses as boyfriends, but despite multiple mistakes involving mobile phones and men, was  still not desperate enough to accept the wonderful opportunity to find true love on ITV1's Love Island.

The Top 10 Interviewing MistakesWe can teach you everything about how to interview well. Most likely you will take our advice to heart, but you will build upon the mistakes you currently make without removing them first. The best way to optimize your interviewing abilities is to strip away everything that you’re doing wrong first. Get rid of all the excess wording that you put in your stories and the unnecessary “Likes” and “Umms” in your speech. Completely rebuild your interviewing from scratch, using our strategies and tips as building blocks to create the best possible interview you can give. The following are the 10 biggest mistakes that students and young professionals make throughout their recruitment process. Honestly critique yourself; don’t just say, “Well that’s obvious. There’s no way that I do that.” Reach out to a friend and ask her to mock interview you and give you her honest feedback. You’ll be surprised at the number of insecure or nervous things that you do while you interview that you won’t even notice until someone points them out to you. Avoid these mistakes and you’ll have a huge advantage over your competition. Strip your interviewing abilities from these mistakes and you’ll be able to construct the perfect interview. Enjoy!
