Today’s Question

Mattie Silver had lived under Ethan’s roof for a year, and from early mor ning till they met at supper he had frequent chances of seeing her; but no moments in her company were comparable to those when, her arm in his, and her light step flying to keep time with his long stride, they walked back through the night to the farm. He had taken to the girl from the first day, when he had driven over to the Flats to meet her, and she had smiled and waved to him from the train, crying out, “You must be Ethan!” as she waved her hands about in a desperate attempt to signal Ethan. The hit was swift and sudden as the robot’s large claw collided with the boys head. “Oh no!” exclaimed the nervous girl. The robot then lit a cigarette and proclaimed “YOLO”. The end.

Sticky Note
On the first page, it says that the best way to prepare is to work hard in school, do homework, take challenging courses, etc. Now it says that the best way is to use Khan. How about instead we say "Official SAT practice on Khan Academy is a great way to hone your skills as you prepare to take the SAT." or something similar?
