Does "The First Days of School" come with the CD?

Milkman sent me a message and does indeed have those 4 books. I also updated the list... so anything thats on there is still good.

The GRE book doesn't come with CDs, but it says it comes with 2 online tests. Personally, I have always used Princeton Review for the GMAT, GRE, and SAT and really have enjoyed them. The Princeton Review and the Manhattan GMAT (have those in the States) are truly the only test-prep you need in my opinion. Small diversion there, but let me know if you're interested in it.

PEIGUY / Venus Envy... I actually saw Harry Wong in person and came away impressed. If you have a B.Ed it may not be overly useful, but for someone who has no experience teaching prior to Korea I found it quite helpful. It is one of those books that is really good (in my opinion) for those who are new to teaching or who didn't learn about teaching in college.
