I wanted to post a little resource list for students preparing for college admission. Let this post serve as a diary for different checklists found online:

Editing Your Management Personal Statement
Penning your own Science Personal Statement most likely will be really difficult, as a great deal of young people find out about the minute it is time to apply. There are a number of courses with regards to the field, yet really nothing step-by-step…before now. The Personal Statement Blueprint walks applicants one step at a time through the entire program right from deciding on some sort of topic to touch-ups just like a professional.
Easily available round the clock, students are able to utilise the all-embracing lessons any time they realise a bit of time.
Constructed by college admissions advisor Danielle Bianchi for grad school applicants browsing for an edge on top of other students.
Responding to UC Prompts
I know that many kids apply to the UC or University of California system, be it to one or many of the schools. Something that many of them have trouble with is responding to the UC prompts or questions that are found on the application. Many times students will just put a one word answer. What most are too young to realize is that this is another great opportunity to give the admissions staff a look at what makes them unique and a great candidate for a UC school.
What to Bring to the SAT Test
One typical mistake students make isn’t realizing what to bring with them on the day of the SAT or ACT test. They have carried out many practice tests for numerous months, but shed confidence and focus if they aren’t totally prepared on Saturday morning. (If you are still looking for help, try talking to Danielle about her SAT test preparation).
Please read this list or print it out so that you are able to appear it over just before you go to take your SAT or ACT test.
Keep in mind to bring the following with you on Saturday morning:
- Registration slip (print off of SAT/ACT website)
- Directions to test center
- Calculator (additional batteries in case you believe you’ll want them)
- Approved calculators:
- four-function calculator
- scientific calculator
- graphing calculator
- Stopwatch for your desk-digital with NO BEEPING-stopwatch is not mandatory, but helpful rather of getting to look up at the clock or rely on the proctor to tell you the time left. My students have usually told me they wished they had a stopwatch on test day.
- Two sharpened No. 2 pencils with erasers
- Student ID
- Food-something nutritious & easy to eat-a banana or energy bar is usually best
- Drink-water/Gatorade/flavored water
- Tissues
- Social security number (optional)
- Email address (optional)
It goes without saying that you should get plenty of sleep the night before the test. Be sure that you also drink a lot of water before you go to sleep so that you are well hydrated in the morning. Good luck!
