The PSAT Your First Step to SAT ACT Success

The PSAT Your First Step to SAT ACT Success ACT SAT Prep and College Admissions Blog This fall, many high school juniorsâ€"â€"and even some sophomoresâ€"â€"will take the PSAT. In all likelihood, this will be their first experience with standardized college admissions exams. You may have heard that students’ PSAT results “don’t count” and “don’t matter.” While it’s true for most students that college admissions committees won’t use PSAT scores to gauge their college readiness (that is, after all, what the SAT and ACT are for), the view that the PSAT doesn’t matter at all is both shortsighted and counterproductive. In truth, PSAT scores can provide valuable insight into your strengths and weaknesses; when used correctly, the results can help students take a big first step toward success on the SAT and ACT. But what do we mean when we say used correctly? There are several ways to take advantage of your scores, some more practical and valuable than others. Here are three tips for getting everything you can out of the data on your PSAT report. 1. Don’t get too distracted by the overall section scores; instead, focus on the detail. The highest-level scores provided by your PSAT report will be in the form of two numbers, each out of 760: your Math score, and your Evidence-Based Reading Writing (ERW) scores. (Note that on the SAT, both of these are scored out of 800.) Students and parents tend to obsess over these scores, forgetting about the other numbers the PSAT report provides. While they do suggest something about overall performance, these numbers are not terribly revealing. Instead of focusing on your 540 in Reading Writing and your 580 on Math, pay closer attention to your subscores, listed on a scale from 0 to 15. These scores reveal more specific areas of strength and weakness. For example, let’s suppose you do score a 580 on the Math. That number alone tells you that you are “above average” (average for juniors is around a 510), but not much else. The subscores, however, can reveal where that 580 came fro m. Perhaps your “Problem Solving and Data Analysis” subscore was a very strong 12 out of 15, but your “Heart of Algebra” score was an 8. This immediately reveals that you need to direct your focus toward reinforcing your algebra skills, which include interpreting, creating, and rearranging equations and expressions. 2. Make a list of topics you need to work on; use the test to isolate examples. It will be easier for you to formulate a prep plan if you translate the information within your PSAT score report into your own summary. Use your subscores to assemble a list of topics that disproportionately impacted your score. Furthermore, take a look at the answer sheet provided on the final page of the report to isolate the specific questions you found difficult. You’ll have your test booklet, so you will be able to see the exact questions you could not answer or that you answered incorrectly. Consider taking pictures of these questions with your phone, or even printing them out and pasting them into a notebook. Now, you have a suite of problems and questions that will form the basis of your prep. And by the way, even if you’re planning on sticking to the ACT, know that the (P)SAT and ACT share lots of content: the subscore categories presented by your PSAT report are just as likely to reveal pot ential strengths and weaknesses on the ACT. 3. Use the scores to establish a baseline and formulate goals. Realistic expectations and goals are are both very important. Assuming you put in a decent effort while taking the PSAT, your scores reflect where you stand without any concerted prep. Now, you can use the report to begin planning. How many topics must you focus on to increase your scores? How much time are you prepared to dedicate to SAT or ACT prep? Do your initial scores suggest you may benefit from a prep course setting (students who score around average are more likely to benefit from multi-student group courses than are students whose scores are on the extremes), or would small-group or private tutoring be more productive? Is your goal to increase your score by 50 points, or by 300 points? On which section can you focus to maximize the points earned for the time spent studying? The answers to all of these questions lie within your report: you simply have to use the data at your fingertips. Remember: though the PSAT may seem inconsequential, the information it provides can be extremely helpful in raising your scores. Using the PSAT to develop positive and proactive momentum can mean the difference between productive, meaningful prep and last-minute frantic cramming. So take advantage of all the PSAT report has to offerâ€"â€"when all is said and done, you’ll thank yourself for doing so. -Evan Wessler, Vice President of Educationâ€"â€"Method Test Prep

Get Ready Ten Final Exam Study Tips

Get Ready Ten Final Exam Study Tips The end of the term is quickly approaching and theres no better time than now to evaluate helpful study tips for final exams. Youve worked hard for months and nows the opportunity to display what youve learned. Understanding what works best for you when you study, and how to make the most of your study sessions, will ensure you pass the exams with flying colors. It is important to remember that no two students are alike and you need to find the study tips that work best for you. There are, however, general pieces of advice that apply to all students and may help in preparing for your final exams. Find your perfect place Evaluate the space youre currently studying in. Does it fit your study style and provide a productive environment? If you think your study space is lacking it may be time to make a switch. Consider visiting a quiet library, an isolated corner of a coffee shop, or rearranging your bedroom to provide the space you need. Join a group While some students study better alone, joining a study group can be incredibly beneficial. If you learn best with others consider forming a study group with students from your class. Set guidelines with the group at the onset to ensure everyone is working toward the same goals and the sessions are productive. Huntington Learning Centers offer study skills and tutoring support in a variety of settings. There may be an established tutoring group, led by a professional, already in place at a learning center near you. Take a practice test (or two) You can evaluate your exam readiness by taking a practice test. This is a great way to determine how prepared you are and what studying still needs to occur. Ask your teachers early if there are sample tests, or forms from previous years, that you can use. Stay rested and avoid hunger Its simple, really. Get plenty of sleep each night and make sure youre eating balanced, healthy meals. Your brain wont function to its maximum potential if you arent taking proper care of your body. Stick with what works Determine how you learn best and stick with it. If you are a visual learner spend time rereading your notes and reviewing charts, diagrams, and graphic organizers. If you are more of an auditory learner consider taping lectures or in-class explanations for additional review. Plan your study blocks Make a weekly schedule that provides an appropriate amount of study time. Stick to this schedule and ensure that you are spending time studying each subject in preparation for exams. Stay organized Establish an organization system that allows you to focus on studying and removes the distraction of disorganization. Keep your classroom notes and study materials for each subject together and routinely remove unnecessary items from binders, folders, and your backpack. Alternate subjectsOnce youve created your weekly study schedule determine how youll align studying for each subject. Many students find alternating subjects helps them retain more information than focusing on a single subject for an extended period of time. Avoid cramming Start studying for final exams several weeks before testing begins. Waiting to study will result in cramming for the exam and will prevent you from retaining material. Cramming may also impact your rest and nutrition and can be avoided by sticking to an established study schedule. Ask for help Knowwhen you need help! There is nothing wrong with asking for assistance or support when studying for exams. Talk to your teachers, friends, and parents when you are feeling confused or overwhelmed. Huntington Learning Centers can also provide professional assistance in advance of your final exams. These personalized tutoring sessions may be just the boost you need to succeed!

Did you Ditch the Clichs this Mothers Day

Did you Ditch the Clichs this Mother's Day Jill and Polly in the Bathroom, 1987 (Courtesy of Tina Barney) Mother’s Day can be one of the most stressful days of the year. Why, you might ask? Mothers everywhere have a trick up their sleeve. Not to say they’re purposefully being sneaky or conniving but, realistically, mothers give up so much for their children. They say they don’t want anything: No, please do not get me anything for Mother’s Day. I don’t need it. I don’t want you spending money on me. Let’s just say my mother did not move from her new foot massager for a good two hours after opening it. I didn’t hear any complaints. Alongside the gift situation and the cards smeared with wet ink from being written in a dangerously close proximity to the time the card was delivered, how do you spice up Mother’s Day? Our mothers do so much for usâ€"sometimes too much for us. They deserve at least a day of fun! Ditch the clichésâ€"How many years in a row can you go out for a Mother’s Day brunch before you eventually regurgitate the same brunch you’ve been having for the last 19 years? Hit the Roadâ€"This year, my family hopped in the car after Mother was forcibly removed from the foot massager, and headed up to Wisconsin. No, we had no direct plans or directions for the matter. Yes, we were lost and wandering in a farm town for a good two hours. But we had nowhere to be and we eventually made an adventure out of it. When we eventually found a lake and a city, we watched the waves as we ate lunch. By that time, my father’s lack of direction had far surpassed the acceptable brunch-eating time. Break up the Big Groupâ€"Coming from a big family, I know this may sound like a family suicide. But even when you spent time with your extended family in the morning and just with your immediate family at night, make sure your mother can have her diva moment, the moment where it’s truly all about her, not all your aunts, grandmothers, or cousins. Spending time with the entire family is always a treat. But your mother did not give a birth to your grandmother or your aunts. So make sure she is getting that one-on-one time that the diva may desire. Go in on a Big Giftâ€"No matter how many different last minute necklaces my brother buys Mom from Walgreens every year, she’s really never going to be able to pull off that butterfly in public. Instead of small presents that Mother may or may not get the use out ofâ€"although she will pretend to love itâ€"splurge on a big item with the rest of your family. This years was a foot massager from Brookstone. And I saw zero fake smiles.

Who Let the Sluts Out

Who Let the Sluts Out photo via filipinofreethinkers.org Stay within your range of comfort. You want to make sure youre still breathing, or at least your skin is. Because if youre not physically comfortable, you might get emotionally uncomfortable. You always want to avoid this or else youll feel vulnerable to the criticism of passersby. So if you are feeling unsure of yourself and get spooked about how people are looking at you, just think about how the outfit should make you feel: hot, sexy, and oozing with confidence and feminine glory. So, is it wrong to encourage looking like a slut? Putting it that way, perhaps. But in actuality, wearing what we desire is an expression of how we want to view ourselves, even if it looks totally different in someone else perspective. If we want to dress sexy to feel sexy, then whos to stop us? The Canadian cop blaming our sluttish tendencies for getting raped? Not even that guy could, in fact he ignited the SlutWalk protests which defends a womans choice to wear what she wants. Its a sensitive issue, where on one side we have freedom of expression and then on the other, slut-shaming. The catchphrase has hurt us all in some way or another and usually by the same people that was victimized by it. Could the growing trend of slinky styles be helping to dismantle the vicious cycle or is it making it worse? Food for thought: what do you think classifies as a slut?

Obtaining a place at Grammar school

Obtaining a place at Grammar school Obtaining a place at Grammar school is not easy, much depends on the number of places apportioned to each school. Local Authorities confirm their decisions in February before the beginning of the new September term, so there is time to appeal a decision. Many pupils take the 11 + exams but sadly only about half succeed in securing a place at grammar school. An increasing number of parents are turning to private tuition to help their child pass the entrance exams which consist of verbal reasoning and English/Maths tests.Although a private tutor can maximise the chances of your child obtaining a place at grammar school it is also important to remember that if your child is one of the lucky ones to enter grammar school they may need further private tuition to help them maintain the required level of academic performance, unless they are exceptionally bright. This aspect is often overlooked by many parents who are only concerned about securing a place, not what happens afterwards. Most educational professionals will agree that a child needs to be academically able but a private tutor can motivate and boost a child's interest to learn. There has been much a debate on how stressful the atmosphere can be for a child pushed by the parents, to study for grammar school entrance. A tutor outside the family environment can reduce stress both for parents and children. If you are thinking of trying to obtain a place for your child at grammar school we advise to prepare well in advance. A good tutor will be able to evaluate your child's academic ability well before it's time to sit entrance exams. First Tutors can help you find a dedicated tutor to help your child pass grammar school entrance exams or simply boost your child's academic ability.
