Who writes the Applied Practice workbooks?
We have in-house writers and we contract with numerous free-lance writers. We are careful in our screening so that we contract only with the highest quality teachers and former teachers to write to our rigid standards.
I noticed you have SAT* test prep materials. Do you also carry ACT test prep materials?
Yes. We recently introduced a line of ACT* test prep materials for the Fall 2009 school year. Please check back throughout the school year as additional titles become available.
How would I cite your publications in my AP Syllabus for the College Board?
To cite our test prep booklets as a resource in your teaching syllabus, you should know that the titles of nearly all our publications begin with "Applied Practice in ..." Also, we do not identify individual writers by name, so the author should be cited simply as "Applied Practice, Ltd." Our headquarters are located in Dallas, Texas, and the year of copyright will vary from one title to another. As a template for citing our books in MLA format, we suggest the following entry for Applied Practice in Wuthering Heights:
Applied Practice, Ltd. Applied Practice in Wuthering Heights. Dallas: Applied Practice, Ltd., 1999.
Who should I contact if I want to write for Applied Practice?
Send an e-mail to info@appliedpractice.com. Include your resume with your contact information, your teaching experience, and a brief statement as to why you want to write for us. If you can, attach a set of study questions you have written for any book you teach.
Why do you offer your products as hard copy workbooks, as well as on CD-ROM?
Our hard copy workbooks are ideal for a teacher's individual classroom use. However, if multiple teachers wish to use the same material, then they are required to purchase additional workbooks. Applied Practice offers our material in digital form on CD-ROM to make it easier for campuses and districts to disseminate our material throughout their system. By loading our workbooks on a central server, customers can easily incorporate our material across a campus or district and eliminate annual replenishment needs to due loss and consumption of workbooks. Also, purchasing material in digital form may help you qualify for allocation in your technology budget.
Is there any advantage to getting one form of the product over another?
Whether you buy our products on CDs or as hard copy workbooks, the material inside is exactly the same. The only advantages are that the CD material is easier to disseminate and control, typically less expensive for a campus or district-wide adoption, and eliminates the need for future replenishment purchases.
My school doesn’t allow us to order online. Do you have a catalog we can order from?
You may download an order form our home page. If you are experiencing technical difficulties or would simply prefer to have a full catalog mailed to you, send a Request for Catalog by checking the box on the Leave Feedback page of our Web site.
Do you accept returns or exchanges?
Due to the reproducible nature of our material, we do not accept returns. Please view a sample of your product available on our Web site prior to your purchase. If you would like to exchange a workbook within 14 days of purchase, you may contact customer service at 866-374-3768 and request an RMA for the exchange; however, we do charge a $12 restocking fee per item. This is to help defray the cost of shipping and handling.
