Book Description
PWN is back, and better than ever. The PWN the SAT Math Guide was created to help ambitious, highly motivated kids maximize their SAT math scores. Do you crave a higher score? Are you willing to do a little hard work to achieve it? Good. I knew I liked you. Read this book from beginning to end, with a pencil in hand and a calculator and an Official SAT Study Guide by your side. When you’re done, you’ll be able to approach the SAT with confidence—very few questions will surprise you, and even fewer will be able to withstand your withering attacks. Stand tall, intrepid student. Destiny awaits. Updated for the New SAT This new edition of the Math Guide has been updated, rather painstakingly, to reflect the realities of the new SAT coming March 2016. This book was not rushed to market to take advantage of interest in the new exam. I took my time, and hopefully I got it right. Chapters are broken into five major sections: Techniques, Heart of Algebra, Passport to Advanced Math, Problem Solving and Data Analysis, and Additional Topics in Math. Each chapter concludes with a reference list of similar questions from official practice tests. Practice questions are designated as either “Calculator” or “No calculator.” Students will be forbidden from using their calculators for one whole section of the new SAT. Emphasis is placed on nimbleness—the ability to approach problems in multiple ways to find the one that works best. Calculator solutions and shortcuts are provided where appropriate. Join me online Readers of this book are encouraged to register as Math Guide Owners at the PWN the SAT website. There will be video solutions and other bonus content there. Signing up there will also give me a way to get in touch with you if I make book updates. See details at http://mathguide.pwnthesat.com.

Running Home

Author: Katie Arnold
Publisher: Random House Trade Paperbacks
ISBN: 0425284670
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 402

Book Description
In the tradition of Wild and H Is for Hawk, an Outside magazine writer tells her story—of fathers and daughters, grief and renewal, adventure and obsession, and the power of running to change your life. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY REAL SIMPLE I’m running to forget, and to remember. For more than a decade, Katie Arnold chased adventure around the world, reporting on extreme athletes who performed outlandish feats—walking high lines a thousand feet off the ground without a harness, or running one hundred miles through the night. She wrote her stories by living them, until eventually life on the thin edge of risk began to seem normal. After she married, Katie and her husband vowed to raise their daughters to be adventurous, too, in the mountains and canyons of New Mexico. But when her father died of cancer, she was forced to confront her own mortality. His death was cataclysmic, unleashing a perfect storm of grief and anxiety. She and her father, an enigmatic photographer for National Geographic, had always been kindred spirits. He introduced her to the outdoors and took her camping and on bicycle trips and down rivers, and taught her to find solace and courage in the natural world. And it was he who encouraged her to run her first race when she was seven years old. Now nearly paralyzed by fear and terrified she was dying, too, she turned to the thing that had always made her feel most alive: running. Over the course of three tumultuous years, she ran alone through the wilderness, logging longer and longer distances, first a 50-kilometer ultramarathon, then 50 miles, then 100 kilometers. She ran to heal her grief, to outpace her worry that she wouldn’t live to raise her own daughters. She ran to find strength in her weakness. She ran to remember and to forget. She ran to live. Ultrarunning tests the limits of human endurance over seemingly inhuman distances, and as she clocked miles across mesas and mountains, Katie learned to tolerate pain and discomfort, and face her fears of uncertainty, vulnerability, and even death itself. As she ran, she found herself peeling back the layers of her relationship with her father, discovering that much of what she thought she knew about him, and her own past, was wrong. Running Home is a memoir about the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of our world—the stories that hold us back, and the ones that set us free. Mesmerizing, transcendent, and deeply exhilarating, it is a book for anyone who has been knocked over by life, or feels the pull of something bigger and wilder within themselves. “A beautiful work of searching remembrance and searing honesty . . . Katie Arnold is as gifted on the page as she is on the trail. Running Home will soon join such classics as Born to Run and Ultramarathon Man as quintessential reading of the genre.”—Hampton Sides, author of On Desperate Ground and Ghost Soldiers

Book Description
The New Math SAT Game Plan is Phil Keller's classic, refreshing and somewhat subversive guide to the math SAT, updated to meet the challenges of the revised SAT. As you follow the Game Plan he maps out, you will learn a more creative way to approach this test, while also reviewing all of the necessary math content. You will learn the best way to manage your time and maximize your score. And of course, Keller still teaches those classic methods that will help you to evade some of the algebra on this test! You can see more about The New Math SAT Game Plan at Mr K's blog: www.advancedmathyoungstudents.com Be sure to check out the Alternative Solutions to the Official Practice Tests! Here are some excerpts from reader reviews of the previous edition. These were all from verified purchasers -- you can still see the old listing on Amazon if you don't believe me :) NelMom said: .... After less than two weeks of concentrated practice using this book, she did the SAT test for the 3rd time. Her math score shot up 150 points from her highest previous score. The improvement in her score pushed her to a level that qualifies for merit scholarships and Honors Colleges. Thus far, our $16.95 investment has translated into 4 year merit scholarship offers from 3 schools equal to a total of over $200,000 and we haven't even heard from the rest of the colleges yet. So I can honestly say that buying this book has been the single best financial investment I have ever made. The book is nothing less than BRILLIANT! PHYSICS BOSS said: Awesome SAT (and PSAT) math book!Thanks so much, Mr. Keller!Just found out my son got a 76 out of 80 on the PSAT math section. Training with your New SAT Math book was a big key to his success. KHH said: It was very simple to follow and easy to understand. I ordered for my daughter to boost her SAT math score, but much of it will help for any multiple choice math test she takes in the future. It has made me feel like even I could do well on the SAT math section. Mradkins said: It has fantastic score-raising tips that I would have never thought about. It is also very effective in teaching and reviewing quickly with methods that work best on SAT.It raised my score significantly, and helped me better understand some math! Rahman said: Within two days, I've seen TREMENDOUS improvement for myself ! I improved from, 500 to 640 WITHIN 2 days!!!! REALLY HELPFUL Sam Rolfe said: With exposure to only the first half of this book, my daughter caught on to what the SAT math is all about. She quickly grasped the concepts presented for attacking problems and actually liked applying them. An "AH-HA" over and over again. If you have stumbled onto this book you are very fortunate.

Book Description
Dr. Jang's SAT 800 Math Workbook provides all the material you need to know to get a perfect score on the math section of the SAT exam. It was designed for students of any level to get an excellent math score on the SAT in a short period of time by helping them focus on the content required for the test and the skills to tackle the questions quickly and easily. This book divides the required content knowledge into three chapters. Within each chapter, all necessary sub-concepts are given in-depth instruction as well as numerous practice questions provided to mimic those on the actual SAT. Each section has questions grouped into three levels: easy, medium, and hard. Problem solving tips and answers are located to the right of the problem. This makes it easy for students to references the answer but can be easily covered if the student wants to attempt the problem first before consulting the solutions. In addition to a thorough overview of materials, this book provides over 1500 practice problems for students to reinforce their understanding of the material and pinpoint their weak areas you need to improve on. This book also showcases proven advice that aid in the critical thinking and problem solving process. The ten SAT math mock tests located at the back of book closely mimic the actual exam and provide even more practice. By taking these mock exams with a timer under test-like conditions, students will be even more prepared to master the real test. The redesigned SAT, which will be launched in 2016, will increase its focus on data analysis, problem solving, algebra and the topics leading into advanced math. The top score will return to 1600, which includes 800 points from the math section. The problems in this book help you prepare for both versions of the SAT. Working on the problem solving skills section in this book will help you build up a strong sense of intuition for when you need to make educated guesses on problems you do not immediately know how to solve.
