How to Get Ready for Test Day Checklist

How to Get Ready for Test Day Checklist Students often ask what they should bring with them to the testing center on SAT or ACT test day.   With tests coming up in November and December, it’s worth a reminder.You can find a complete list on the College Board’s website, but I’ll summarize it here.    You should bring:Admission ticket â€" print this out the night before. You need this to get into the test!Photo ID â€" your driver’s license or school ID works. You also need this to get into the test. Your receipt from Taco Bell does not count as an ID (this actually happened at my student’s test center, and the person in question didn’t get in).Calculator â€" either graphing or scientific calculators are allowed, but no calculators with full keyboards. Make sure you replace the batteries a few days before the test! You can find a more specific breakdown of calculator policies for the SAT here and ACT here.Number 2 pencils â€" no mechanical pencils allowed. Bring several of them so you have backups.Extra eraser †" to make it easier to erase cleanly on the scantron.Watch â€" this should be an old-fashioned wrist watch that doesn’t beep. Helpful to keep track of the time you have left on each section.WaterHigh-energy snacks for the break â€" think granola bars, bananas. Anything that will keep you going for four hours!Driving directions to the testing center, or a GPS â€" if you’re from Palo Alto but you’re taking the SAT at Bellarmine, you might not know how to get there. Be prepared!It’s also important to know what NOT to bring to the SAT and ACT:Your phone, iPod, any other electronic gadgets â€" you won’t be allowed to use them if you have time left over on a section, and you don’t want to risk them getting confiscated if you forget to turn off the sound. Leave them in the car!Highlighters and pens â€" you can only use pencils.Notes of any kind â€" this should be obvious!Scratch paper â€" the proctor will provide this for you.Good luck from AJ Tutoring!

Its time to learn English Phrases connected with an English Christmas

Its time to learn English Phrases connected with an English Christmas Here you will find a short text with English phrases connected with an English Christmas.Test your English reading comprehension. Please make sure to make a few sentences with the words in bold. This will help you learn new English words in context. English Collocations with Christmas The traditional English Christmas is beginning to change as society changes. We all hold on to (try to remember) our family  traditions for as long as we can. They usually bring back happy memories of times past and so it is  with my memories of a traditional English Christmas.When the tree is decorated the Angel (dressed in white) is usually placed on the top branch to look  down on the family as a sign of peace and to remind us what Christmas should be about. We always  sent Christmas cards (greetings) to family and friends every year. We wrote the cards a few weeks  before Xmas so that they would arrive in time. Every mantlepiece (shelf above the fireplace) was  adorned (decorated) with the cards we received also. This tradition has died out (almost  disappeared) due to technology so greetings now are usually sent on-line.In the month of December the Christmas Shopping starts in earnest (seriously). Depending on the  size of the family and the ages the presents will vary a lot. Th e children will have prepared their  Santa list (the list of gifts they want) weeks in advance. Traditionally we used to write a letter to  Santa and throw it up the chimney (the long pipe above the fireplace to let the smoke escape).Nowadays (in modern times) the letter is posted to Santa at the North Pole.  Those presents that will not be delivered by Santa are carefully wrapped (covered in coloured  wrapping paper) and placed under the tree. Some people pick up the presents marked for them and  try to guess what is inside. As we get closer to the Big Day (Christmas Day, the 25th December) the Christmas stockings are hung on the fireplace. There are always little surprises to be found there on Christmas morning.Finally on Christmas Eve (the night before Christmas day 24 th December) a plate of food for Santa  and his Reindeers is left beside the tree. A mince pie for Santa and carrots or biscuits for the  Reindeer. Many parents sneak down (move slowly and quietly) the stairs on C hristmas Eve to eat  some of the pie and biscuits so that the children really believe Santa has come.On Christmas morning the children get up early (awake early) to see if their wishes have come true  and the tearing and rustling of wrapping paper is very audible (can be heard). The Turkey is put in  the oven and the parents settle to the task (get ready) of preparing the Christmas dinner. This is the  focus of the day. A traditional Xmas dinner is usually Roast Turkey and all the trimmings (roast  potatoes, roast veg, cranberry sauce, Christmas pudding and cake) all cooked to a traditional family  recipe.The table is beautifully decorated and paper hats (coloured hats) and crackers (paper tube that  contains a small toy and a joke and makes a small bang when pulled between two people) beside  every plate. The plan is to finish the dinner before or in time to listen to the Queens Christmas  address (televised speech) to the country. English Phrases connected with Christmas Bah Humbug one of the great quotes from the Charles Dickens story A Christmas Carol. This is  used by people who do not feel the joy of Christmas that others feel.Merry Christmas Sir! Bah  Humbug..go away!! Don’t Look a Gift horse in the mouth this is used when somebody gets a gift or something for free  even though they might not find it so useful. They are expected to be grateful.Michael got a pair of  gloves from his Aunt for Xmas. He was hoping to get some money. His mother told him to be more  grateful and not to look a gift horse in the mouth.The More the Merrier  usually an expression when more people turn up to your party than you expected or some unexpected visitors turn up for your family dinner. Do you mind if a few friends  come around for dinner? My daughter asked. No not at all I replied. The more the merrier.Like Turkeys voting for Xmas  when people accept something without putting up any resistance even though they know the outcome will be bad.The company wanted to reduce the salaries by  10% as they were having a difficult trading period. They wanted the staff to agree. They all did even  though they know it was like turkeys voting for Xmas. Worse was to follow.

AP Classes for Seniors Avoiding Common Mistakes

AP Classes for Seniors Avoiding Common Mistakes Tips From an Irvine AP Test Prep Tutor: AP Classes for Seniors: Avoiding Common Mistakes Most college-bound seniors will take at least one, if not multiple, AP classes during their senior year in high school. However, its easy to let test prep and studying slip once students have received college acceptances. Some colleges will still take students who don’t receive the AP test score they were expecting while others may be denied a conditional acceptance. Either way, its important that Advanced Placement seniors utilize tips and tricks for staying on task so that they can get a 4 or 5 on the test and receive college credit the next year. It would be a shame to have to take US History and English 101 all over again when a student has already taken these courses in high school. However, without at least a 3 on the AP exam, the class won’t count for college credit at all -make sure you book your Irvine AP test prep tutor today. 1.  Create a study timeline AP exams are about three weeks away and, hopefully, students have already been studying for the last six weeks or so. High school seniors may be familiar with test prep techniques if they took AP classes sophomore and junior year, however, they still need to study content and work on general review at the very least. Because many seniors suffer from senioritis, its important to create a timeline of study to help stay on track to earning a good score on the AP exams mid May (READ: Grades and AP Class). 2. Work with your private Irvine test prep tutor Students who feel that they are falling by the wayside with their AP studies are encouraged to get in touch with their tutor. Its important to remember that tutors can serve more than one purpose. They can help with educational content and study but they can also serve as organizational consultants. If a student has lost touch with their Orange County private tutor over the past few months, speaking with him or her about organization, even for one or two hours, can help an otherwise smart and responsible student stay on track while suffering from the notorious effects of senioritis (READ: 3 Warning Signs of Senioritis). 3. Talk with your classroom teacher Classroom teachers are intimately familiar with the negative effects of senioritis. Teachers will know the signs and will know what can happen to students if they dont stay on track through to AP exams. Most classroom teachers are more than happy to speak to students after class or briefly after school if they have questions. If a student is honest and upfront with their teacher that their studies are falling behind, the teacher can help them look at tried-and-true methods of continuing to effectively study for AP exams. Additionally, classroom teachers have likely worked with the same group of students off and on for the past two or three years. This means that they will be able to easily identify a particular student’s study habits and will likely already know their strengths and weaknesses. AP classroom teachers are fabulous resources for extra help but the majority of students forget that they are available. Remember, teachers are there to help students succeed. 4. Talk with mom and dad Although many high school seniors want to be entirely independent from their parents at this point in their academic career, mom and dad are a great resource. They know their children’s study habits and what they are capable of academically. It’s a good idea to talk with mom and dad about how important current academic goals are as well as their current level of fatigue. Mom and dad can serve as an in-house organizational consultant 24/7. Although many students feel that they should be able to do everything on their own and be a superstar student, its essential to remember that parents have most likely been in a similar situation when they were 17 and that they can be a big help when it comes to staying on track, arranging for a tutor or study group, and helping their child complete the necessary study for AP exams (READ: Tutoring and Test Scores: Assessing Improvement). In short? Although its very tempting to take a casual attitude towards AP exams during senior year of high school, taking an AP class will have been a waste if the student doesnt score at least a 3 on the exam. Temptation aside, its much better to spend two months working on test prep now than two semesters retaking classes freshman year of college.

The New SAT Its Never too Early to Know the Facts

The New SAT Its Never too Early to Know the Facts The New SAT: Tips From A Private Orange County Test Prep Tutor Some students in their junior and senior year of high school will be able to take the current SAT, soon to be known as the old SAT. However, younger students will be taking the new SAT starting in 2016. Its never too early to start prepping for this new SAT now that we are on the countdown to the major change (READ: 5 Awesome SAT Apps). 1. Take a practice exam The College Board is planning to release preliminary information and a guide for the new SAT in the summer of 2015. Apparently there will be five practice tests available and its recommended that any student who will be taking the new SAT take one of these tests ASAP. 2. Keep on reading, keep on writing Because the essay portion of the SAT will experience substantial changes, students should keep up with their reading and writing starting now. Current students often report that they struggle most with the essay, either due to writers block or lack of practice. If the current SAT essay seems difficult, just wait for the new SAT! The 2016 SAT will require students to comment on the author’s opinion rather than their own. Students should start practicing their critical reading skills so that they can make a summary of the author’s opinion of just about everything they read, from a pop-culture magazine to the newspaper to a school assigned novel. 3. Work with a tutor Although it’s true that tutors will be learning about the new SAT along with their students, the majority of SAT tutors will take their own practice test to understand the intricacies of this new exam before they ever work with students. This means that your private Orange County SAT tutors will have a six-month advance from when their students will take the real exam. It’s recommended that students taking the new SAT buy multiple test prep books to supplement their studies until their tutors can get a baseline of what the average student gets on the new SAT (READ: A Timeline Study Guide For The SAT). 4. A few basic differences -The new SAT will be five minutes longer than the current SAT, not a big difference. -The new SAT will have a reading and writing section that’s evidence-based, an updated and more difficult math section, and an entirely separate essay section. -The new SAT will have only four answer choices to choose from, as compared to the five answer choices on the current SAT. This will make process of elimination easier for 2016 students. -The new SAT will not have penalties for incorrect answers. This will be a major change in the test prep process as students will need to approach the practical applications of choosing an answer differently. (Students who have taken the ACT will already be familiar with this test prep procedure.) -The new SAT will be on a 1600 point scale, while the current SAT has a perfect score of 2400. Tutors and parents are probably more familiar with the 1600 point score, because this was used up until the turn of the 21st-century. In short There are still several months left until the start of the new SAT, but students who will be taking it are advised to start preparing as soon as possible. Since the College Board is releasing practice exams in the summer of 2015, its recommended that students start their SAT prep at that point. Students who fall within both the new and old SAT exams, are highly advised to consult a tutor as to whether not they should take the current exam or if they should simply start preparing for the new one.
