Regardless of how accurately or inaccurately the SAT’s assess and grade a students knowledge level in relation to collegiate studies, they are certainly here to stay. Yes, the very fact that many students often cram for a test which is supposed to establish their existing knowledge base is somewhat counterintuitive to the purpose, but in reality, even that makes sense. After all, most students will be using their last minute learning skills on a regular basis once they get to college.
There are numerous study guides available for SAT preparation, one of which is available from The College Board, who administers the test. Prepping for the test can be difficult for students as the test is taken pre-graduation, but certainly represents time well spent. For students who plan to apply for scholarships, a high SAT score in combination with a stellar grade point average will often help.
The SAT’s are broken down into three segments, which include critical reading, mathematics and writing. Each segment is administered in a time based format, and for many students, the amount of time given won’t be ample enough. For this reason, it’s a good idea to be prepared to skip specific questions in an effort to complete the greater majority of the test, returning to the unanswered questions if time allows.
The SAT Writing section comes first, and can make time management difficult as the test is divided into multiple choice and short essay. The critical reading portion is next, followed by mathematics. Depending on the strengths of the student, certain sections may require a great deal more preparation than others. Students who are good analytical thinkers typically grasp mathematical formulas with relative ease, yet may have trouble with vocabulary, sentence structure or conveying their side of an argument in the essay portion. Conversely, many students who can understand and articulate their thoughts through written word are much more at ease with the two sections that don’t involve mathematics.
The best way to prepare for the SAT’s is to focus heavily on the areas you are weak in, though each section deserves some level of preparation if you want to do your best. Plenty of students have overestimated their strengths only to realize midway through a test section that they weren’t as prepared as they initially thought.

Why you Should Sacrifice to Attend College
By: Shay Rosen | 05/12/2007 | Online EducationAttending college is a given for many young students, especially those who will benefit from their parents hard work in the form of tuition, books and quite often, housing. For some high school graduates, however, the financial support system ends at their 18th birthday. For these young adults, the decision to attend college has little to do with desire and everything to do with their ability to pay for it.
Master’s Degree a Solid Investment
By: Shay Rosen | 05/12/2007 | Online EducationGetting an education is always a wise choice, especially if you want to compete in today’s educationally obsessed job market. Where a bachelor degree once held a graduate in high esteem, it has quickly become the minimum entry level requirement for positions with most employers. As of late, a postgraduate education is the new guarantee for some level of separation between an individual and their competition in the job market. Add a little job experience to the mix and a person’s chances for garnering the best employment opportunities they are eligible for in their field increase even more.
Does Online College Stack Up to the Traditional Collegiate Model?

To Thesis or not to Thesis, and How to Handle the Questions
By: Shay Rosen | 12/11/2007 | CareersWhile not all students contemplating a master’s degree have the option, many now have the choice of whether to enroll in a program that requires a thesis, a program that requires a project or a program that simply requires additional coursework. For most students, one option is as painstaking yet palatable as another. For others, however, the thought of producing anything attached to the word “thesis” is reason enough to consider forgetting postgraduate studies entirely.
