AP Chemistry Exam Time

AP Chemistry Exam TimeWith AP Chemistry exam time coming up you must have been wondering what your preparation needs are. This article will help you figure that out, and give you some hints on how to study the best way possible.I think the best way to prepare for the exam is to make a list of all the things you will need to study for. This will help you organize your day. You will be able to come up with some good reminders that will get you going as soon as possible. Here are some of the things you will need to do to study for the exam.First, is to put down an hour or two every day when you can commit to studying, and set your time. This is a great tool to help you control your studying habits. Make sure that you don't try to cram a lot of material in too quickly. The key is to go at a pace that will allow you to feel comfortable and confident before the exam.Next, you should set a time and a day where you plan to study. This is going to be different for everyone. For me, I set my s tudy time to around 10:00pm. I keep a close eye on my study time as it allows me to stick to a schedule that will help me become more effective with my studying time.Your next step is to figure out which topics you need to study. This is based on the subjects you took last year. There are two paths you can take here. If you took the course as a core chemistry course, then you will probably need to focus on Calculus, while if you took a supplemental course for organic chemistry, then you will want to focus on calculus and more.With Calculus, you want to study it from a high level. If you took Organic Chemistry, then you want to study it at a high level as well. Just make sure that you know the terminology and the concepts so that you can have success in the real world when you finally sit for the exam.Then, get your key note speakers. Some really good sources of key note speakers are community centers and colleges. Find them and ask if they would like to speak at your local college o r community center and discuss AP Chemistry.Finally, write down everything you have learned in your notebooks and stick them up on your wall so that you can read them when you are ready to get the right answers. This will keep you motivated throughout the whole exam and allow you to focus your energy on your practice testing.

7 Ways to Use Movable Guitar Scales to Write Solos and Riffs

7 Ways to Use Movable Guitar Scales to Write Solos and Riffs Sign up successful Start by targeting the notes that are the basis of the key the song is in. For instance, if you’re playing in the key of G Major, playing the G Major scale in different positions on the neck is fun, so you target the note G in different spots on the neck. It is like connecting the dots. Now move the scale up a whole step to the fifth position on the neck but still target the note G. This is a good idea as it frees you up to improvise. Step 2. Move the Basic Scale Patterns Close your eyes and visualize the neck of the guitar and play freely. When you find a pattern you like, move it up a whole step. The reason this works is because there is only two notes difference between G Major and A Major. You will very quickly see that this is both fun and exciting as it opens up new possibilities in your playing to express yourself. If you hit a wrong note simply remove it from your solo or riff idea or slide into the next note using the “wrong note” as a grace note or passing note. Listen carefully for what sounds good. Step 3. Give The Notes Numbers We give each note of the scale a number. For instance in C Major C is 1, D, is 2, E is 3, and so on. Now it is time to begin by playing with the idea of assigning number patterns to each scale and moving the order of the notes around. For instance you might start by playing 1, 3, 5, 2, 1. Then mix it up. Your ears will tell you what works. Step 4. Make Your Guitar Sing Many of my friends and students ask me: how do you make the guitar sing? I like to sing or hum a melody out loud first and then find those notes on the neck of the guitar. It is also useful to go to the piano and find the notes in the scale of G Major or whatever key the song is in. Then sing the melody by picking the notes out on the piano and then transfer it to your guitar! This not only makes your solo more interesting but it helps you improve your ear and song arranging skills at the same time. Step 5 : Riff This Way What is a riff? A riff is a short idea played on the electric guitar that locks in with the beat. Joe Perry of Aerosmith successfully uses riffs to make songs really appeal to his fans. Listen to “Walk This Way” by Aerosmith and you will hear how Joe’s riff makes the song great and propels it forward. A great riff can even double as a hook” that keeps us coming back to the song again. The rule is learn your favorite riff from a song you love to play along to. Take your time and play it correctly even if it takes several days or weeks to master it. Step 6 : Hammer on and Pull Off Use techniques like sliding into a note, hammer ons, and pull offs to increase your tempo with grace and ease. Have your guitar teacher show you how to do this if you are not familiar with the technical aspect of playing hammer ons and pull offs. You don’t have to get it all in one day. Be adventurous and take chances. If you are not on stage it doesn’t matter if you hit a wrong note as this is part of the learning process and good ear training. Next time you have a great idea record it into your iPhone. It may be a million seller and bring joy to everyone in the world. Step 7: Rap to The Beat If all else fails do this: Rap to the beat. Choose some grunting noises or three or four of your favorite words and rap to a drum beat loop on your laptop. Now transfer your rap/grunt sounds to the guitar using any notes you like in first position on the neck. You are now a successful Riffmaster! Opening up to new ideas and new ways makes you a successful learner and guitarist all in one. Never underestimate your ability to learn something new and add it to your list of cool things to do on guitar. James W. teaches guitar, singing, and acting  lessons in Jacksonville, FL.

How Often Should You Practice Spanish To Really Improve

How Often Should You Practice Spanish To Really Improve Maile Proctor Not sure if youre practicing Spanish enough to reach your goals? Make sure youre getting enough practice time with these tips from Spanish teacher Emmanuel N The fastest way to learn Spanish is to practice and use the language as much as possible. Think about it, kids go to school five days a week from kindergarten to high school, and they use English constantly. They read, write, and learn new words and vocabulary. In order to learn a new language, you have to practice speaking, writing, and reading. You might be wondering whats the fastest way to learn Spanish, and the answer is that it depends on how often you practice and use the language. So how often do you need to practice in order to improve? My recommendation: Every. Single. Day. Find Time to Practice I realize not everyone is able (or even willing) to practice every day, but it really is the fastest way to learn Spanish. If you want to learn and improve, you need to make a commitment and find time to practice. When it comes to Spanish, just like any other skill, practice is the key to learning. This doesnt mean you need to study constantly or complete limitless assignments and homework. Make Learning Fun Learning Spanish can be fun, and its important to find a study strategy that works for you. Here are two effective learning strategies that you can try. Listen (and sing along if you want) to Spanish songs. Find videos on YouTube that have English translations for the Spanish lyrics. You can also do this yourself: find the Spanish lyrics and use Google to translate the words. This will be easier if you understand Spanish expressions, and the best way to learn this is through conversations. Watch Spanish shows and movies, or English shows and movies that are translated in Spanish. If youre a beginner, turn on the English subtitles to help you follow along. It may be difficult to understand the shows at first since fluent Spanish speakers speak pretty fast, but youll be able to understand more words and phrases as you continue to practice. Find a Teacher I have shared some ideas and suggestions to help you improve your Spanish, but at the end of the day it always helps to have someone to help you study. Not everyone has Spanish-speaking friends or relatives. This is where a Spanish  tutor  can help. I like to structure my Spanish lessons like conversations you would have with a Spanish-speaking friend. I understand that learning a new language is difficult, and I try to encourage my students when they make mistakes. A teacher can offer extra help if youre struggling, and help you determine what you want to learn and practice. Do Your Homework! Im a firm believer in homework as a study tool. Just because the lesson is over, doesnt mean you’re done learning. Here are some things you can do on your own to practice your Spanish between lessons. Write (in Spanish) about your day, week, or weekend. Write down all the Spanish words you hear during the day that you dont understand. Ask your teacher to explain the words in your next lesson. Watch your favorite show and describe the plot in Spanish. Im Latino, but English was my main language because I used it in school. After years of practicing with my family, I managed to improve my Spanish. Im not fluent and I may not have the perfect accent, but I never gave up on learning. I encourage you to do the same to learn Spanish; challenge yourself, stick with it, and have fun! Emmanuel M. teaches Spanish online.

Should I Go To New York University

Should I Go To New York University The tutors behind Varsity Tutors are not just here to teach theyre sharing their college experiences as well. Erica is a New York City tutor and 2009 graduate of New York University. She majored in History and now specializes in amultiple subjects including Literature tutoring, Arithmetic tutoring, ACT prep tutoring, and SAT prep tutoring. See what she had to say about her alma mater: VT: Describe the campus setting and transportation options.How urban or safe is the campus?Are there buses or do you need a car/bike? Erica: Going to NYU was most definitely a different experience than most other colleges in the best way! NYU doesnt really have a campus, but most of the buildings surround Washington Square Park. The only thing you need for transportation is an unlimited MetroCard. NYU does provide free shuttle buses from dorms, but if you want to explore the city you can easily take the subway. The campus is as urban as it gets, and it really is very safe just be smart and use common sense. VT: How available are the professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants? Erica: Most of my professors were amazing. There are a few bad apples, but that is the story at every college. Professors were very accessible if you take the time to email them or visit office hours. Teaching assistants lead small discussion groups that are a required part of large lecture classes. VT: How would you describe the dorm life rooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students? Erica: I lived in a dorm my first three semesters. Freshman dorms are all very close to where classes are, which was very helpful in adjusting to NYC my first year. Upperclassman dorms are more scattered some are close, some are far, but all are in Manhattan at least. Get an unlimited weekly meal plan not all freshman dorms have kitchens, and youll need one if you dont want to be hungry all the time. Freshman dorms are pretty friendly places everyones in the same boat. VT: Which majors/programs are best represented and supported?What did you study and why? Did the university do a good job supporting your particular area of study? Erica: For undergrad, NYUs business, acting, education, art, film/television and social work programs are extremely well-known. For graduate, the law, medical, business, film, education and social work schools are top-tier. NYU is divided into different schools, and people usually refer to their school when talking about their major (for example, Hi, Im Erica, and Im in CAS [college of arts and sciences]). CAS is the more typical undergrad school, which has most of the typical college majors (English, sciences, social studies, etc.). I majored in history (you dont have to specialize in a time period at NYU) and minored in religious studies. I had planned on being a lawyer when I was in high school, so I figured Id major in something law-ish. After I changed my mind about law school, I figured Id get my degree in whatever I wanted I figured the most important thing was getting a Bachelors degree. VT: How easy or difficult was it for you to meet people and make friends as a freshman? Does Greek life play a significant role in the campus social life? Erica: The best way to meet other NYU-ers is by joining clubs. I met my best friends in the clubs I joined. Every September there is a club fair, and all of the clubs are very welcoming. You can also meet people in classes you take. It all depends on what you enjoy and what your social circle tends to look like. Its NYC, so you can definitely meet all types of people. There is Greek life, but they are not a huge presence at NYU. VT: How helpful is the Career Centerand other student support services?Do many reputable companies recruit on campus? Erica: I did find the Career Center helpful in certain ways. They offer lots of seminars on how to prepare for an interview, how to write a resume, etc. I didnt really use the Career Center (back then when it was called Wasserman, I think the name has stayed the same) in terms of recruitment, but my friends who were in the business school were there all the time and found their jobs through recruiters from campus. All kinds of businesses would recruit huge Fortune 500s as well as tiny boutique-y places. VT: How are the various study areas such aslibraries, student union, and dorm lounges? Are they over-crowded, easily available, spacious? Erica: I absolutely lived in the library (Bobst) during my time at NYU. I loved it I would find a random study carousel on a random floor and just sit and read/write for hours. That was also how I functioned I could never really get work done at my house. The student center (Kimmel) was also a wonderful, wonderful building. There is also a Starbucks right on 4th street. The Starbucks tended to be super crowded in the evenings, especially during finals. Also, the library was packed during finals as well. There are definitely places to study, both in NYU buildings and in coffee shops in the neighborhood. Some days I would feel like there was nowhere to just sit down and read, but most days I could find a spot. I believe NYU has been making more of an effort to increase study spaces on campus. VT: Describe the surrounding town. What kinds of outside establishments / things to do are there that make it fun, boring, or somewhere in between?To what extent do students go to the downtown area of the city versus staying near campus? Erica: NYUs surroundings are everything that makes up New York City. It is absolutely amazing, wonderful, overwhelming, enormous, and fantastic, all at the same time. The first month or so of freshman year, people tend to hang out at bars around the Village, but as time moves on people move more uptown and downtown. There can be a lot of pressure going to school in the city, but honestly some of the best times Ive had are hanging out in someones dorm, watching movies and talking. You can get whatever you want here. VT: How big or small is the student body? Were you generally pleased or displeased with the typical class sizes? Erica: NYU is very huge its one of the largest private schools in the country. If youre walking around the Village, youre mingling with NYU students. Some classes are large lectures, others are small seminars. The freshman writing class everyone has to take is no more than 15 people, while some of the other required classes are big lecture classes. Usually big lecture classes have smaller discussion sections led by a TA these I did really enjoy. Speaking as a History major, my seminar classes were always small. VT: Describe one memorable experience with a professor and/or class. Perhaps one you loved the most or one youregretthe most. Erica: My last semester at NYU, I was finished with my major and just needed the credit hours to graduate. I loved it I took a photography class, a class on Shakespeare, a French conversation class and a linguistics class. I just loved taking photography I did everything from load the film into a 1970s black and white film camera, develop the film myself using all of the chemicals, enlarging the negatives in a darkroom. My ideal house for myself most definitely has a darkroom in the basement. Check out Ericas tutoring profile.
