| |
| Whether you are a senior in high school picking out a college or already an underclassman at a university and looking to transfer, you still want to be aware of the advantages and disadvantages of your size school.

| Article Title :: Playing and Winning the Scholarship Game |
| |
| OK, you don't have a 4.0 GPA, you're not the senior class president, you can't throw a football fifty yards, and your SAT scores aren't generating letters or phone calls from Harvard, Yale or Princeton. So, you'll never qualify for a college scholarship, right?Not necessarily! There are lots of scholarships, and other kinds of financial aid for which you might qualify.

| Article Title :: Study Tips for Students Taking Tests |
| |
| You're in the thick of the school year. It seems like there are so many things going on, like assignments, projects, and extracurricular activities. Now a test is coming up and you've got to do well on it. How should you study so you do better on that test?First of all, when you study for a test, you shouldn't be learning something completely new. It is faster and easier to recall something you have already learned than to learn something completely new. After each day of classes, it is a good idea to review everything you have learned.

This is especially true for students, who are expected to summarize, analyze, and critique the readings assigned to them by their professors. The task can be particularly daunting to students who are working on a term paper, since they need to read a number of materials and then integrate them into the ongoing discourse that is their research paper.So what forms of reading are “right,” and which are “wrong”? While reading a book or article, you want to read actively as opposed to passively. When you read passively, you are just receiving information; as you read, you aren't digesting t (read full article) |
