SAT/ACT Presentation Tomorrow!

This Wednesday, I'm giving a presentation at Washington-Lee High School called - shockingly - SAT or ACT: Choose Wisely! It's going to be fun and informative.  Details below.

NOT the Monday Excerpt

I normally post an excerpt from my book on the SAT and the ACT on Mondays. This post is different for two reasons:

1. It's not Monday
2. It's not an Excerpt

The Clip Show, or You've Already Jumped the Shark

That's right, the Monday excerpt is taking a little break this week! I've been fairly busy with tasks relating to my second career as a photographer, and the book has temporarily been shifted to the... well, I wouldn't quite say the back burner, but perhaps the medium burner. Your stove has one of those, right?


So, in lieu of an excerpt, I will do the blog version of a clip show: the link post!

The Monday Excerpt: "Why are cats useful animals?"

Every Monday I will post a brief excerpt from my upcoming book, Choose Wisely: the SAT, the ACT, and You. This is good for you because you get to read, for free, what other people will have to pay for later. This is good for me because it means I have to actually write the book if I'm going to have anything to post! So, win-win.


This week's excerpt presents the gripping conclusion to the story of the army Alpha and Beta tests - the direct ancestors of the SAT.  If you missed last week's installment, check it out before you read this.

The Monday Excerpt: Uncle Sam and the Psychologists

Every Monday I will post a brief excerpt from my upcoming book, Choose Wisely: the SAT, the ACT, and You. This is good for you because you get to read, for free, what other people will have to pay for later. This is good for me because it means I have to actually write the book if I'm going to have anything to post! So, win-win.

In this week's excerpt, we learn a little bit about the direct ancestors of the SAT: the Army Alpha and Beta Tests.  If there are any psychologists in the audience, please don't be offended by the ire I direct at your profession: it is intended solely for a handful of your less-than-illustrious predecessors.
