Very difficult to find such a book, I think. We think alike. In that regard, anyways.
(And yes, I am aware that most of those sentences are fragments.)
I wish you the best of luck on your big test and your scholarship. May Allah be with you (No--I don't have a problem that you're Muslim.)
Why do you hate being a girl? Isn't it awesome? No?
I don't know why English teachers made up that weird rule about 'and' and 'but'. However, I will say that one of my English teachers ridiculed that rule. And challenged us to find a book that had won a Nobel Prize in Literature that didn't have a sentence starting with 'and' or 'but'. None of us accepted that challenge. (haha....)
Tip on cramming information into your head: Write the things you need to cram for down, and mutter the words as you write them. You might LOOK crazy, but this actually increases your memory of things, because you're visually seeing the words, kinesthetically writing the words, hearing the words (auditory), AND speaking the words. So it maximises the amount you remember.
Hope that helped! Good luck with your tests and scholarship!
