Test Preparation requires written content as fuel to keep the engines of your students' curiosity and excitement going. But, do you have time to write all this Test Preparation content yourself?
Maybe you do, or maybe you don't. But, wouldn't your time be better spent interacting with your students in guiding and coaching them in building test sophistication? One thing is sure, Test Preparation is an interpersonal skill, not just a pencil and paper exercise.
What if you could find lots of free electronic resources, eBooks, to drive your Test Preparation?
Well, you can.
Besides the well known Project Gutenberg, there are lots of great sources of electronic content on the Web.
And, one thing about Project Gutenberg is that lots of the materials are "classics." This means that the books are old, out of copyright.
But, here is another source for modern, highly applicable to daily life content to support your Test Preparation efforts.
The site is Free EBooks. But, don't buy all the "for sale" books when you can get over 1,000 eBooks for free.
But, there is a catch. You will have to create a link to their site from your site.
However, that is no big deal because you can do the same by creating a free Blogger Blog, like this one. Set up is easy to do. All you need is a Google Account.
You add a new page component, make that component HTML, and paste in the code that you received from Free eBooks.
Then, you return to the Free eBooks site, give them your Blogger Site address (URL).
Finally, download the list of eBooks. You can download all the books at once (a 30 MB file), or you can download them individually.
The quality of these free eBooks ranges from average to poor, but, you can use them in your Test Preparation for either adding them to a test creation template, or, by using them as the basis for Test Preparation writing classes and editorial conferences.
Don't overlook the power of free eBooks in your Test Preparation
