The PSAT is over now what

The PSAT is over â€" now what Parents of high school juniors, you may be wondering what your student should be doing to prepare for the SAT now that the PSAT is over (or almost over, if your student is taking the test on Saturday). PSAT scores don’t come out until December, so many students put off further test preparation until after winter break. However, it can be academically beneficial and stress-reducing to get a head start on test preparation for spring!Students can use the time between now and when PSAT scores come back in December to take a practice SAT and ACT and see how they do on each test. Colleges accept either the SAT or ACT for admission. We here at AJ Tutoring recommend that students take both the SAT and the ACT â€" after all, that gives you two chances to succeed!If your student would like some help preparing for the tests from our fabulous AJ tutors, it’s a great idea to complete a few tutoring sessions before winter break. This schedule allows the sessions to be spaced out before th e March SAT or April ACT. And with high schoolers’ incredibly busy schedules these days (I’m thinking of my student who plays two sports, participates in student government, and takes 4 APs), spreading out the tutoring reduces stress and allows ample time for academics and other activities.We know that junior year is a busy year, especially at competitive high schools like Paly, St. Francis, Los Gatos, Saratoga and many others, where college preparation starts early and never lets up. Joe and Aaron, the co-owners of AJ Tutoring, are experts at developing tutoring and testing plans that work for students’ individual needs and schedules. Email or call them today (info@ajtutoring.com, (650) 331-3251) to discuss your student’s game plan now that the PSAT is over!To summarize, juniors waiting for PSAT results should: • Take a practice SAT and ACT and compare the test scores • Continue to excel in academic courses at school • Talk to Aaron or Joe about a testing schedule for junior and senior year • Complete three or four tutoring sessions before winter break

Creating A Scholarship Game Plan

Creating A Scholarship Game Plan Parents of high school students have plenty on their minds, but at the top of the list is paying for collegeand for good reason. The cost of college has risen steadily for the last three decades.* While many families plan on taking out federal loans to help cover the cost, teens should absolutely apply for scholarships. That gift aid (free money) can make the cost of college a little or a lot more affordable. There are thousands of scholarships out there that can come from many different sources: the federal government, state government, colleges and universities, private organizations, nonprofits and even businesses. It is definitely worthwhile to search and apply for scholarships, but in a methodical, organized way. Here are a few tips on creating a scholarship search game plan: Create a spreadsheet for tracking research. Before teens start researching scholarships, its a good idea to develop a system for keeping track of them. Many of the popular scholarship engines out there have a dashboard of their own that allows students to manage their scholarship matches and application progress, but its wise for teens to have their own database too since they might apply to different scholarships from different sources. A simple Google Sheet or Excel spreadsheet will do the trick. Research. Too often, high schoolers disregard the idea of scholarships, thinking theyre reserved only for the highest achieving students. However, there are scholarships for students from many backgrounds with various skills and in different niches. Students should do their research, keeping several things in mind: Get to know the guidance counselor. Sign up for any college platform or email list recommended by the high school guidance counseling office (such as Naviance), which is likely to be the best way to keep on top of deadlines for scholarships the school advertises. Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which is used by both state and federal agencies (and colleges use the FAFSAs Student Aid Report to determine the financial aid award they offer, which might include scholarships). Keep small scholarships in mind, as they tend to be less competitive and can add up quickly. Start early, as many scholarships require elements like letters of recommendation and essays. Find ways to be efficient, like reusing/revising personal statements and essays to fit similar but slightly different scholarship applications. In addition to the guidance counselors office, there are many other places to look for scholarships: Scholarship databases like scholarships.com and fastweb.com Local foundations, community organizations, businesses and civic groups Library resource desk Dedicate time each week to scholarship research. There are lots of scholarships available to students, but those who earn them are dedicated and diligent. Teens should make time every week for researching scholarships and applying to those for which theyre qualified. Log progress. Teens should update their scholarship spreadsheet regularly, which will keep deadlines top of mind and keep them motivated to continue the effort. Heres an example of how a tracking system might look: Name Provider Website Deadline Award Criteria Other Status Johnson Scholarship ABC Foundation ABCFoundation.com 11/1/2019 $5K - $10K per year for tuition + fees in-state schools 3.75 GPA New Freshman, Top 10% of class Average SAT 1300 Average ACT 30 Letter of rec Interview required Requested letter from Ms. Smith 8/10/2019 Started online application 9/1/2019 Applying for scholarships takes effort, but the task is much less stressful when teens stay organized. Parents, encourage your teens to approach the job in a disciplined way, which will make it easier to apply widely and streamline the application process. * Trends in College Pricing 2017, published by the College Board, states that over the past three decades, the dollar increases in published tuition and fees (in 2017 dollars) ranged from $1,550 (from 1987-88 to 1997-98) to $2,690 (from 2007-08 to 2017-18) at public four-year institutions and from $5,860 (from 1987-88 to 1997-98) to $7,220 (from 2007-08 to 2017-18) in the private nonprofit four-year sector.

What Life Skills Do I Need Before University

What Life Skills Do I Need Before University Many students who head off to university for the first time have never before lived on their own, which can seem intimidating. There will probably be a lot of things that your parents did for you that you'll now have to do for yourself. Before you head off to university, here are some life skills to keep in mind. (They'll come in hand day-to-day and may even impress your roommates and friends at the same time!) Organisation Learning organization skills sounds silly. Many students may wonder what being organised even looks like. To help you visualize it, grab a planner. Start writing things down. Planners are especially useful with keeping deadlines straight. Learn to take note of homework assignments, test dates, and any upcoming academic or social events you may want to attend. Luckily, smart phones and countless apps can replace paper and pen if that's more comfortable for you. Study skills The majority of us have to work at mastering writing, studying, and other academic skills. Since everyone is different, each of us may have to approach the art of studying differently. Find out how you learn best: whether that's utilizing visuals, words, or activities. Adapt your study sessions to accommodate the way you best take in information. If you're a visual learner, make colored note cards before a test. Find a space conducive to studying that offers the materials you need. The library is a great place to start, especially if you have loud roommates! Cooking Making food at home is often more affordable, tastier, and healthier than ordering takeaway. It may take a few tries to master simple recipes, but don't lose heart. Watch cooking shows, and follow recipes to the letter with your first attempts. Start with foods that are impossible to screw up: like an omelette or a simple pasta dish. Work up to more complex meals, and try to cook with what's in season or what produce looks good at the grocery store when you visit. Money management Chances are, even if you receive financial aid for tuition and housing, you probably have a personal bank account that you'll use for miscellaneous bills - things like food and entertainment. If you work a part-time job during school, take note of how much you make monthly and budget out your spending accordingly. Allow yourself some luxuries, but don't get caught up at the shops, especially if you have friends whose parents constantly replenish their bank accounts. Money is a personal issue, and one that you should be honest and mindful about throughout your unviersity career. You're sure to master countless other skills while away at school. Start by mastering these few things and you'll probably have a leg up on the majority of your classmates. Share your knowledge, and have fun!

15 Undeniable Reasons to Start Learning a Foreign Language Yesterday

15 Undeniable Reasons to Start Learning a Foreign Language Yesterday 15 Undeniable Reasons to Start Learning a Foreign Language Yesterday If youre not already learning a language, youre running late.You should have started yesterday!But why should you learn a foreign language?A better question might be, why should you not  learn a language?I mean, do you love making travel more complicated? Do you have an aversion to delicious, authentic food?Some other great reasons to avoid  learning a language might be that  you dont  want to experience a better brain, better grades, better pay or a better social life.Who wants any of those things, right?If you do happen to be one of those rare, crazy people who wants to enjoy (1) cheaper, easier and more fulfilling travel, (2) a bigger, healthier, faster brain, (3) higher grades at school, (4) a better job with higher pay and (5) a richer  social life,  by all means, read on!And for those of you out there who are already learning another language (or who are already totally multilingual), sit back and enjoy reading about the awesome rewards  youre already reaping from your efforts every day.We dont just stop at the obvious reasons to learn a language, were going to share all the practical, real-world benefits of learning a foreign language, as told by someone whos been down that road before (and survived). 15 Undeniable Reasons to Start Learning a Foreign Language YesterdayBetter Travel1. Foreign languages make transportation cheaper easier.Its 11 pm.You just got off a 14-hour flight and all you want to do is get to your hotel and fall face-first into your pillow.But first you have to get there!If you  are armed with at least a smattering of navigational terms in the local language (like, I want to go to, turn right here, how much will it cost to get to? and so on) you will be able to take whichever means of transportation makes most sense based on your budget and schedule.Without the right lingo, however, you are limited to expensive options like taxis or slow means  like airport  shuttles.Save yourself some time, money and grief: if you know absolutely n o words in the local language of your travel destination, buy a  good phrasebook  and spend some time pre-flight (or even on the plane) learning basic transportation phrases. Lonely Planet is a good resource for finding high-quality phrasebooks for a wide variety of languages. They also have travel guides for nearly 200 countries that can help you out with making smart decisions abroad. A little can go a long way (pun intended).In Bangladesh, for example, I sometimes took rickshaws to quickly zip through the crowded streets after workâ€"a fast, efficient and extremely cheap  option that wasnt possible for my monolingual American colleagues. They had to wait on the availability of the companys bilingual drivers. I had only learned a tiny amount of the language, but it was enough to get me home to my bed.2. Foreign languages make lodging cheaper, easier more authentic.Just as a few key phrases will help you get to your hotel that much faster and cheaper, the same is true for choosing which  hotel to stay at in the first place.While budget-travel guidebooks aim to list  good, affordable places to stay, ironically, inclusion in these books  often drives up prices, worsens service and leads to fewer vacancies.Plus, many guidebook authors limit their searches to businesses with English-speaking staff and English websites, ostensibly to make your stayâ€"and arguably, their researchâ€"easier. But with a good command of the local language, you can stay just about  anywhere you want, not just the hotels and hostels listed in the guidebooks or with fancy bilingual websites.This means lower rates, fewer people and a better (or at least more authentic) experience.3. Foreign languages make dining cheaper, easier more authentic.Unless you are the host of a travel show, you probably don’t have a local fixer to find cool, authentic places to eat.Fortunately, you don’t need to be Anthony Bourdain to eat where the locals eat. You just need to learn some of the local langua ge and then ask around. But when I say “ask around,” I don’t mean inquiring with  an  employee at the airport tourist information booth or the concierge at your hotel. What I mean is asking your taxi driver or the guy behind the counter at a convenience store about their favorite restaurants. This valuable intel will usually  lead you to far tastier and cheaper fare than any tourism board or guidebook ever could.4. Foreign languages make travel more interesting.The local language is “cultural scuba gear.” Without it, you are limited to the surface: tourist traps and politically-correct English translations.With it, however, you can go as deep as you desire, unlocking secrets about the people, places and history that make up a culture.What you find won’t always be pretty, but it will always be interesting.For example, when visiting the Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo, I noticed that there were subtle (but profound!) differences between what some of the Japanese and English placa rds said. The shrine is already a controversial place as it honors some convicted war criminals from WWII, but if you see what’s written in the Japanese signage, you might find the place even more controversial!5. Foreign languages dialects let you travel to more places.A valid passport may get you to just about any country in the world (assuming you dont want to go to North Korea), but getting to and actually enjoying a country are two very different beasts.You can probably get by with English alone in most major cities, but venturing into the small towns, villages and rural gems that make travel worthwhile will be much easier if you understand and can produce at least a modicum of the local language.And beyond just learning the official language of a country, you will get a lot of mileage out of learning regional dialects as well. For example, your Mandarin will be of great use in Taipei City, while  Taiwanese will  be more beneficial in southern Taiwan.Better Brains!6. Learnin g a foreign language improves memory cognitive performance.Studies have shown that bilinguals tend to have bigger brains, better working memories  and superior speed when switching between different tasks.Not only do these advantages make it easier to learn yet more languages, they also make it easier to learn, well, anything.The ability to quickly switch between tasks is especially important in todays busy multitasking world since true multitasking doesnt actually existâ€"people that seem to be good at doing lots of things at once are in fact switching very quickly between each of the  separate tasks.Bilingual noodles  can do this switching much faster than their monolingual counterparts (likely from the practice they have switching between two languages), making  it appear like they can handle many more tasks at once.7. Learning a foreign language increases self-control focus.Not only do bilingual brains have superior memory and cognitive function, but they are also better at ex ercising self-control, retaining focus  and making good decisions.These  improvements in executive function  are likely  the results of the bilingual brains constant need to choose the correct language to speak  at any given moment and its learned ability to detect  which language they are hearing.8. Learning a foreign language helps protect against Alzheimers dementia.While degenerative brain diseases like Alzheimers and dementia have many potential causes, studies  show that you can help prevent their development (or at least slow their progress) by learning a foreign language.For example, one study showed that  bilinguals with Alzheimers retain brain function longer than monolinguals with the same disease.Better Grades!9. Bilinguals are star students.Though I am not a big fan of standardized tests (they only measure a small subset of the numerous brands of intelligence and inevitably lead schools to teach to exams), I cannot ignore  their pivotal role in determining ones future options (e.g. university choices).So what can one do to improve their ACT or SAT  scores?There are many strategies, but I would argue the best is learning a foreign language. Not only have studies shown that this can help improve your scores on  standardized tests, it also leads to stronger listening,  reading and writing skills in your native language.10. Learning another language can improve your first language.One of the unexpected benefits I experienced when I first began learning a foreign language is how much more conscious I became of the grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation patterns of English.This likely explains the improvements in listening, reading and writing skills that foreign languages are known to impart to former monolinguals.Moreover, learning other  Indo-European languages from which English has borrowed significant amounts of vocabulary (e.g. French) will help you better understand how English became English.Better Pay!11. Foreign language skills can help you f ind a better job.The job market is tough and getting tougher.More than ever before, you need a way to make you and your résumé stand out from the crowd.No, adding Microsoft Word in the skills section is not going to cut the mustard.On the other hand, having the  words Mandarin Chinese or Arabic on your CV  can certainly impress potential employers. Knowledge of a foreign language can help you get your foot in the door for an interview, and may even ultimately land you the job if you demonstrate the linguistic chops they are looking for.Furthermore, fluency in a foreign language opens entire swaths of job opportunities abroad which simply are not available to monolingual job hunters.12. Foreign language skills can help increase your pay.Already have a job but arent happy with your salary?One powerful strategy is to learn a foreign language.You can then go to your boss and demonstrate the many ways in which your new language skills can benefit the company, help open up or expand mar kets and improve communications  with foreign branches or clients.Better Social Life!13. Foreign languages expand your pool of potential friends.What is the fastest way to make 1.2 billion friends?Learn Chinese!Ha, ha, ha. No, seriously.Speaking a foreign language (especially one with lots of native speakers) not only opens up a massive pool of potential friends, but it also acts as an instant common denominator when you meet native speakers.Since so few native English speakers  make the effort to learn foreign languages, locals will be impressed with your efforts and  curious to learn more about you and why you are learning their language.14. Speaking a foreign language makes you more attractive.From James Bond, to The Bourne Identity and Limitless,  foreign language skills are a standard cinematic motif for demonstrating a characters  confidence, intelligence, charm and sense of adventure.Fortunately, you dont need to become Jason Bourne, get multiple passports and  carry a Walthe r PPK  to reap the same benefits.All you need is to learn a foreign language.While the process will take more than popping a miracle pill like  Bradley Cooper, its far easier today than it used to be thanks to amazing online tools, smartphone apps, language exchange sites, etc.15. Foreign languages can be used for secret communication.Assuming you are not in a country where the language is widely-spoken, and also assuming you do not happen to be sitting by the one guy in town who knows the language, speaking in a foreign tongue can be a great way to  have more private conversations.The same goes for writing. Using a foreign script can help protect personal or sensitive information from  prying eyes.This approach is not exactly a foolproof Enigma machine,  so you should not rely on it for sharing trade secrets or your Grandmas top-secret buttermilk biscuit recipe passed down for 7 generations. But it  at least can make discussing the sordid details of Friday nights debauchery on the bus a little less embarrassing.
