<p>A book that categorizes real SAT writing questions under their respective errors. We are all very familiar with the SAT common errors such as “S/V Agreement”, “Ambiguous Pronoun”, “Run-On Sentence” etc etc. However, some people would like to get specific practice for each and every error specifically with dozens of real SAT questions from real (released) exams to hone their skills. I am making a book, in which I am compiling all SAT writing questions from real released exams according to their errors and listing them appropriately. Naturally, they will be about 600 questions, divided according to their respective errors. But before I go forth with it, I’d like to ask you guys, what do you think of the idea? Do you think it is profitable/lucrative? Would you be interested in such a book to hone your writing skills?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>You’re kidding, right?</p>
<p>Would it be lucrative? Yes. Not for you, though. For your attorney, on the other hand, it would be a money-making machine!!!</p>
<p>Just to be clear: you do not own the copyright in those “real SAT questions from real (released) exams.” That means that you do not have the right to publish them in a book.</p>
<p>But don’t let me stop you . . . attorneys have to make a living, too!</p>
<p>Oh, yeah, and one other thing: there’s already a book out there that does exactly what you’re suggesting. And the author manages to do it without stealing from College Board! Search this thread for references for a good grammar book . . . I’ll bet you can find it if you look hard enough!</p>
<p>Aren’t January/May/October exams released and legal to reproduce in a book that offers analysis and commentary thus making it different intellectual property?</p>
<p>Individuals who purchase a copy of one of those tests are doing just that - purchasing a copy, not the right to reproduce (and sell) that copy.</p>
<p>Think about it . . . if what you are proposing was possible, do you not think the professional study guide companies (Princeton, Barron’s, etc.) would already be doing it? </p>
<p>I’m not a copyright attorney, so I don’t know the extent of any protection you might enjoy for “analysis and commentary,” but I can’t imagine it would permit you to reproduce a text in its entirety, even if, as here, you rearranged the order of the text.</p>
<p>This would be an amazing book.</p>
<p>But it isn’t there for a reason.</p>
<p>You’d need to have a money printing machine to fend off the lawsuits</p>
