Welcome!


Welcome!! My name is Paul Lappen. I am in my early 60s, single, and live in Connecticut USA. This blog will consist of book reviews, written by me, on a wide variety of subjects. I specialize, as much as possible, in small press and self-published books, to give them whatever tiny bit of publicity help that I can. Other than that, I am willing to review nearly any genre, except poetry, romance, elementary-school children's books and (really bloody) horror.

I have another 800 reviews at my archive blog: http://www.deadtreesreviewarchive.blogspot.com (please visit).

I post my reviews to:

booklore.co.uk
midwestbookreview.com
Amazon and B&N (of course)
Librarything.com
Goodreads.com
Books-a-million.com
Reviewcentre.com
Pinterest.com
and on Twitter

I am always looking for more places to post my reviews.

TSI Exam Study Guide 2024-2025

 

TSI Exam Study Guide 2024-2025, Emma Cambria Wilkerson and Rory George, 2023

This book is all about a computerized test called the Texas Success Initiative. It is for high school students, and is designed to assess their readiness for college-level courses.

The test, and this book, focuses on three main areas. Mathematics covers basic addition, algebra, geometry, data analysis and probability. Reading comprehension looks at literary analysis, analyzing the author's purpose, identifying the main idea and making inferences about the text. Writing explores how to write an effective essay, sentence structure and grammar and subject-verb agreement.

The test is computerized, so the difficulty of the questions is based on the student's previous answers. Do well on the test, and the student can go right into college-level credit courses. If the score is not so good, in any of the areas, then the student will be put into a non-credit remedial course.

There are many questions and answers, along with a practice test, in the back of the book. It is recommended for all students preparing to take the TSI Exam. It is also recommended for students elsewhere who want an objective measure of their readiness for college-level courses.
