The Practice of Statistics for the AP® Exam
by Daren S. Starnes Josh TaborAlong came Dan Yates. His vision for such a text became reality with the publication of The Practice of Statistics (TPS) in 1998. Over a million students have used one of the first five editions of TPS for AP® Statistics! Dan also championed the importance of developing high-quality resources for AP® Statistics teachers, which were originally provided in a Teachers' Resource Binder. We stand on the shoulders of two giants in statistics education as we carry forward their visions in this and future editions. The Practice of Statistics has continued to evolve, thanks largely to the support of our longtime editor and team captain, Ann Heath. Her keen eye for design is evident throughout the pages of the student and teacher's editions. More importantly, Ann's ability to oversee all of the complex pieces of this project while maintaining a good sense of humor is legendary. Ann has continually challenged everyone involved with TPS to innovate in ways that benefit AP® Statistics students and teachers. She is a good friend and an inspirational leader.

The Premed Playbook not only gives them close to six hundred potential interview questions, it also gives them real answers and feedback from interview sessions that Dr. Gray has held with students.“This book touches on every aspect of the interview from applying, during the interview and things to do/not to do after the interview. I highly recommend this book for every student to read and have available for reference during the medical school interview season.” —Antonio J. Webb, MD, orthopedic resident surgeon, motivational speaker, and author of Overcoming the Odds“He challenges the reader to examine their strengths and weaknesses and gives them a blueprint on how to put their best foot forward. His advice is real-world and complied by many interviewers, including myself, who have years of experience interviewing medical school applicants. I highly recommend this book as a fundamental preparation tool for the application process.” —Gregory M. Polites, MD, Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine, Chairman of the Central Subcommittee on Admissions, Washington University School of Medicine

The Price You Pay for College: An Entirely New Road Map for the Biggest Financial Decision Your Family Will Ever Make
by Ron LieberThe hugely popular New York Times “Your Money” columnist and author of the bestselling The Opposite of Spoiled offers a deeply reported and emotionally honest approach to the biggest financial decision families will ever make: what to pay for college. Sending a teenager to a flagship state university for four years of on-campus living costs more than $100,000 in many parts of the United States. Meanwhile, many families of freshmen attending selective private colleges will spend triple—over $300,000. With the same passion, smarts, and humor that infuse his personal finance column, Ron Lieber offers a much-needed roadmap to help families navigate this difficult and often confusing journey. Lieber begins by explaining who pays what and why and how the financial aid system got so complicated. He also pulls the curtain back on merit aid, an entirely new form of discounting that most colleges now use to compete with peers.While price is essential, value is paramount. So what is worth paying extra for, and how do you know when it exists in abundance at any particular school? Is a small college better than a big one? Who actually does the teaching? Given that every college claims to have reinvented its career center, who should we actually believe? He asks the tough questions of college presidents and financial aid gatekeepers that parents don’t know (or are afraid) to ask and summarizes the research about what matters and what doesn’t.Finally, Lieber calmly walks families through the process of setting financial goals, explaining the system to their children and figuring out the right ways to save, borrow, and bargain for a better deal. The Price You Pay for College gives parents the clarity they need to make informed choices and helps restore the joy and wonder the college experience is supposed to represent.
