Top 4 Differences Between the SAT and ACT

Top 4 Differences Between the SAT and ACT One of the most common questions I get from my students is whether they should take the SAT or the ACT.   Frankly, the answer to that question depends on each student’s strengths, weaknesses, and personal preferences.  If you’d like to talk through your student’s unique situation, please contact us and speak with a director.Back in the day, the tests were mostly regional: students on the coasts took the SAT, and those in the middle of the country took the ACT.   Now, though, students all over the country often take both tests. Colleges accept both the SAT and ACT, so it makes sense for students to try both tests and see which one yields a higher score.There are several major differences between the SAT and the ACT:1) The SAT is more focused on complex problem-solving and critical thinking, and the ACT is more straightforward.   Generally speaking, students who enjoy solving puzzles and reasoning through complex situations will prefer the style of the SAT.   The ACT is better f or students who appreciate straightforward questions, both in math and reading comprehension.2) The ACT has a science section, and the SAT does not.   Now, before you write off the ACT, thinking you’ve forgotten everything from science class, take heart â€" ACT science is more like reading comprehension with charts and graphs.   It’s not an easy section, but you don’t need outside science knowledge to get a good score.3) The ACT is faster-paced than the SAT.   Most students feel time pressure on the ACT, especially on the reading comprehension and science sections.   Both sections have 40 questions to complete in 35 minutes. Timing practice is essential to doing well on the ACT.4) ACT math covers more trigonometry than SAT math does.   ACT math questions (especially the harder ones) will use basic trig concepts like SOH-CAH-TOA.   Make sure you understand this concept before taking the ACT.For all the differences between the SAT and ACT, most students end up scoring similarly on both tests. However, some students do much better on one test, which is why we recommend that students who are looking to maximize their standardized testing profile take both tests.  You can learn more about our efficient, 1-on-1 SAT/ACT hybrid preparation here!We’d be happy to schedule an SAT/ACT diagnostic test and help you analyze your scores â€" just get in touch with one of our directors by sending an email info@ajtutoring.com or by giving us a call at (650) 331-3251!

Is Moving For A Job Worth It

Is Moving For A Job Worth It Image via Pexels Do’s and Don’ts Before evaluating whether or not you should move for a job, there are some do’s and don’ts to consider. Prior to entertaining the idea of relocating for your new job, let’s look over some influencing factors that can impact your decision to move away from home and into a foreign area. Do’s: Move for Increased Wages and Diverse Culture: In today’s job market, one of the biggest factors potential employees consider when looking into a new job is the salary/hourly wage. In some situations, companies and agencies have higher wages and salaries than those in your current area, which is a great incentive to want to relocate for a job. If your current job isn’t paying nearly as much as you would like, let alone what you can survive on while another position out of state is offering double, that’s a great reason to go for it! Additionally, diversified culture and community is another reason to relocate. If your current location is bland, with the same people and cultures, relocating for your job can also benefit you by giving you a diverse culture and community to live in and experience! Move for Entrepreneurial Opportunities/Supportive Business City: Every town and city is different from markets to work ethics. Some towns, like the one I come from, is full of either blue-collar workers or people with college degrees. Some places are more labor-oriented, while others are more creative and embrace entrepreneurial opportunities. Jon Simmons, a writer for Monster  writes, “A Bentley University survey revealed that 66% of millennials want to start their own business. But to do so, they want to live somewhere that can sustain and support that business.“ If you aren’t into the rigidity of school or think outside the box, consider relocating to a town or city that is more supportive of creativity, one that would be better for your future entrepreneurial ideas! Move for Adventure/Risk Taking: Sometimes moving for a job is less about the technicalities or formalities and more about just taking a risk and going out of your traditional comfort zone. If you are someone who has been in the same area for a few years, has an adventurous side and is seeking something new, consider relocating! Starting fresh in a new area can be fun, exciting and the beginning of a new adventure. Maybe the best job isn’t waiting for you, perhaps you’re not looking for any special kind of opportunity but instead, you’re just looking to experience something different, fresh and stimulating there’s nothing wrong with that! You dont want to regret things down the line  that you wish youd tried so  go for it now while you can! Image via Pexels Don’ts: Move for a Slight Pay Increase: One of the “do’s” stated previously was to move for increased wages, which is a solid reason to relocate. However, when considering to move for a job, you don’t want to move for a job that is going to pay slightly more than the one you currently have. Why? Because you have to consider the cost of moving, both literal and metaphorical, and if that slight increase in wages is worth the time, energy and possible hassle of moving away from home and somewhere completely new. There are plenty of factors to consider when looking at a salary for your new job, like cost of living, which will be addressed in the later paragraphs. Ultimately, remember that it’s not just about how much more money you’re making at this new job, it’s about a lot more than that! Move Laterally in your Career: It’s important to remember to consider the type of position you will be accepting when you move away from home. Will this new position be similar in type and rank in comparison to the one you have at home? If it is, Jon Simmons writes, “Neil Bondre, founder of The Interview Professional, an interview coaching company in San Francisco, advises millennials against accepting positions that are similar in rank in new cities, even if they’re unhappy with their current situation. Instead, he suggests making an upgrade or moving in the same city if the position is comparable compensation.” More for Someone Else:   We all have probably heard plenty of horror stories of people moving away solely for their romantic partner and for nothing else. It’s hard to go against this urge when you’re in a relationship, but do not move just for one person. Moving away is a huge decision, which can take an emotional and physical toll on you. Thats not to say that moving for this person isn’t worth all of that, but you’ll want to have extra reasoning and prospects in mind to make the decision more worth it and give yourself a sense of stability. Image via Pexels Is Moving for a Job Worth It? Heres What to Consider 1. Don’t Get Caught Up in the ‘Dream Job’ Hype: When we’re young, we all want to secure that job of our dreams and are willing to do just about whatever it takes to get it. Sometimes this means taking a chance and exploring your options instead of having a decided occupation of your choice picked out. This is the time to take risks and test the waters of different career options that may be of interest to you, so don’t worry about moving to a new place and not having it all figured out yet. Just make sure that you have the support and financial ability to do so! Image made via Canva.com 2. Weigh the Financial Costs: Perhaps one of the most important things to evaluate before you relocate for a job is whether or not you are financially stable enough to do so. This may seem obvious, but for some who act on impulse, this can sometimes be easily overlooked. There are a lot of costs when moving in general, but when you factor in moving out of state or hundreds of miles away, the costs increase significantly. While thinking about moving for a job, consider the following: Cost of living in Home City vs New Location: Moving to a new location that is significantly more than your current location but doesn’t pay enough to cover the difference isn’t a smart choice. Ruth Mayhew of Chron.com  suggests to research the cost of living in your current location versus your desired one and use a cost of living index. She notes, “A cost of living index measures affordability for geographic regions, with 100.0 for the baseline. Anything greater than or less than 100.0 means that food, housing, health care, utilities and transportation are higher or lower, respectively.” Current Salary to Salary Offer in New Location: This goes hand in hand with one of the “don’ts” from earlier, which was moving for a slight pay increase. While brainstorming and making your decision, be sure to compare your current salary to your new salary offer and include the cost of living in the new location to see if the difference is worth it. CNN Money has a cost of living calculator to make this step even easier for you! Shane Jones of the Muse notes that a cost of living calculator is, “useful in determining whether you’ll have a comparable net income after you factor in common expenses such as groceries, housing, and utilities.” 3. Weight the Quality-of-Life Factors: When considering to relocate for a new job, one of the most important factors to consider besides the obvious financial costs is the quality of life you’ll be having. Some things to evaluate are: Living in a Big City vs Small City: What is your preferred living area? Do you like a more urban, busy setting or do you prefer a more quiet, laid back area? When considering to relocate for a job, the location is an important factor to consider. You don’t want to have to work and live in a place that doesn’t sit well with you. Accessible Public Transit: If you are considering to move to an urban or even suburban area for your job, making sure you have access to public transit is very important. Whether this public transit is the bus, subway, the train, or even driving, it’s necessary to know how you’re going to travel to work from home and around the town on off days. Entertainment: Moving for a job is not solely about the job, as you will not be working 24 full hours a day, 7 days a week. Besides work, you need things to do in your free time to relax and have fun! When considering moving for a job, make sure that the city/town has an entertainment atmosphere and community that fits you and your interests. 4. Evaluate Your Career Options: Reviewing your career dreams, goals, and options is a key part in deciding whether or not you want to move for a job. Is it worth moving for the job or can you blossom in your career at your current location? Some things to ask yourself are: Am I on the Right Path? As you evaluate whether or not to move for a job, you should map out your career goals. What are you looking to accomplish in your current position at your job? Are you looking to progress in any way? Is your current position or current location holding you back from those goals? Consider looking to establish a foundation that can be built upon in a job, with upward mobilization and long-term success as the ultimate goal. Stagnant working positions, with no chance of advancement, whether in your current location or away from home is a red flag. Is the location dense with jobs that fit the industry I’m in? Sometimes our current location doesn’t match the job market or industry that we love. For instance, if you’re more of an artsy person, you’ll probably want to be in an urban area rather than a rural one, because the industries in each area type are vastly different. Trying to move away from home and relocate for a job in today’s economy is not easy. There are a lot of things to evaluate and consider, such as the financial costs, the quality of life factors, your career options, and the moving process in general. If you are considering moving for a job, just remember to weigh all of your options carefully and make the best decision for your mind, heart and wallet. Albert Einstein once said, “anyone who has never made a mistake, has never tried anything new.” It is never too late to start! As always, good luck.

Extra Curricular Activities For Your College Resume

Extra Curricular Activities For Your College Resume College Resume Tips from an Irvine Admissions Consultant As a high school student, its important to demonstrate more than just a good grade sheet. Colleges and universities look for a well rounded group of applicants. A good grade sheet is only considered a prerequisite for college acceptance. Students in 2015 should be prepared to demonstrate more than just success with course materials make sure your grades are where they should be with the help of one of our Orange County academic tutors.             (AP Photo/The Chronicle-Tribune, Jeff Morehead) Students who want to attend a fine college or university should consider joining multiple extracurricular activities. There are a few things to think about before making a multi-year commitment, including whether this particular activity represents you as an individual (Read: 8 Reasons Applicants Fail to Get Into the College of Their Choice). One â€" Model United Nations Students who have any interest in international relations, sociology, psychology, or communications may be a good fit for Model UN. Students participating in this after school activity will find that they have to argue points that they may or may not ultimately believe in. However, this teaches students valuable skills about empathy, which can come in handy in any given field where students will have to work with people. Public speaking is also required when participating in Model UN and, although this can be terrifying at first, its an extremely valuable skill for both college and life (Read: A Letter to My High School Self). Two â€" Team and individual sports Both team and individual sports take up an incredible amount of time. To be successful in sports, a student must have an extreme amount of physical discipline as well as demonstrated team spirit. Students who make a three or four year commitment to a sport in high school, show potential universities that they can make a long-term commitment to something strenuous. Students who dont make the team or students who are more geared towards an individual sport can join a club that is not directly related to the school. Many sports clouds, run clubs, and other individual sports offer their members spirit points or participation points, which can be documented and later shown on a student resume. Even students who are not at a level where they might receive a scholarship can still impress potential colleges by participating in some sort of sport after school. Three â€" A kindness club Many high schools have started a kindness club, sometimes called Its cool to be kind, in response to recent widespread allegations of bullying throughout high schools. These groups are often student led but are generally officially recognized by their high school (READ: Kindness Clubs for Kids). Students who wish to study in any field, but especially in a helping profession, such as a teacher, therapist, or nurse, may find that this particular afterschool commitment is especially impressive to potential universities. This is also a great way to fill community service hours and a good way to help the community and other young people in general. Four â€" A fine arts or music club Unfortunately, most high schools have all but done away with art and music. This leaves most public school students at a disadvantage later on. Students who graduated 10 years before current students will have had the opportunity to have participated in art and music to some degree. Even if they are not in an art or music field, they will have gained a lot of rightâ€"brain (problem solving, creative thinking) knowledge from participating in these activities. To make up for that deficit, current high school students can demonstrate a well-rounded education by joining a club that has to do with arts and music. Students who live right here in Southern California will have plenty of opportunity to participate in museum or concert field trips, many of which are free or very low cost to full-time students. Five- Peer tutoring If a particular student does extremely well in one subject, for example English, they may consider participating as a peer tutor. There are many outreach programs that pair any current high school student with a student of the same age or younger who needs academic help. There are multiple English as a second language (ESL) programs right here in Orange County where a student can do some excellent community service to count towards high school graduation. Regardless of what subject a student might excel in, there is sure to be some opportunity for peer tutoring. This is especially beneficial to a future teacher or any student who wishes to work with people as part of their career.

4 Things College Prep Students Should do This Fall

4 Things College Prep Students Should do This Fall Tips From an Irvine College Prep Tutor: 4 Things College Prep Students Should do Before Thanksgiving Break College prep students have adjusted back to classroom activities and are well on their way to completing important tasks that will help them successfully apply to college. Its good for students to have a list of things to complete each month, so they stay on track and dont miss any important deadlines. Although Thanksgiving break seems worlds away, its not that far and students who have goals to meet by that point in the year should start thinking about it now. Whether students are focused on prepping for college entrance exams or studying for AP classes, nows the time to be prepared our private Irvine college prep tutors are here to get you into college. 1. AP courses Students in 10th through 12th grade are probably taking advanced placement courses to help them apply to college and receive college credit before they even start their first day on campus. AP courses are tons of work and take up a lot of a student’s time, so its important that they feel comfortable they are on track to get a 3 or higher on their test the following May. If students aren’t doing as well as they could in any given AP course, theyre encouraged to join a study group or start working with a one-on-one tutor so they can study more efficiently and go over difficult concepts. 2. College entrance exams By Thanksgiving, many students will have already taken their SAT or ACT and may even have their overall scores. Students should compare their scores with the average accepted student at several universities they plan to apply to next fall to see if they qualify. Students who would like to gain a few extra points can arrange to retake their entrance exam in the spring and start working with an expert SAT or ACT tutor to work on any weak areas. Many students gain 100 or more points just by learning how to beat each section of the exam (READ: 8 Reasons Applicants Fail to Get Into the College of their Choice). 3. Organization Maintaining excellent organization is an essential key to success when it comes to the college prep years. Many students let their organization fall by the wayside during the first few weeks of school because their mind is still on summer break. However, if students are falling off track by Thanksgiving, they should take this as an opportunity to get back on top of things and take care of any details that need attention. This may include signing up for the SAT, improving grades in AP courses, arranging volunteer hours, scheduling a campus visit, or choosing a list of colleges to apply to. 4. Selecting colleges and universities Sophomore and junior year are excellent times to schedule campus visits and start thinking about the best options for applications. By the end of sophomore year, students will have an idea of what their GPA will be when it comes time to apply, and theyll have an idea of some subjects that might interest them as potential career fields but they probably wont know exactly what it is they want to major in or specific elements of colleges that will benefit them in the long run. The best way to get an idea of the best colleges is to visit the campus in person and meet some current students. Most colleges provide opportunities for students to take official tours or simply walk around the campus at their leisure. College visits are an essential part of the application process, and Thanksgiving break is a great time to start thinking about scheduling these tours and finding a good time to visit and do further research. Our Irvine college prep tutoring has a 97% success rate. Call us today to learn more. All blog entries, with the exception of guest bloggers, are written by Tutor Nerds.

Understanding Chemistry - A Short Description

Understanding Chemistry - A Short DescriptionThe term 'chemistry matter' is a term used in the physics field to refer to the collective behavior of any two types of substances that interact with each other in a chemical manner. This matter is used when describing the basic element of chemistry and it was first used by Isaac Newton in the 1600's. He used the term as a tool to explain his experiments on gases and liquids, which involved the observation of what happens when particles of different sizes collide with each other.The same concept is used today in the study of physical and chemical reactions. The substance that is most often described as 'chemistry matter' is water. Water molecules are very small in size and many of them simply float on top of the water as the liquid floats on the top of the sea. These tiny particles of water molecules are called covalent bonds.A covalent bond is formed between a hydrogen atom and a proton, which are composed of two protons and two neutrons. The bonds that are formed between two atoms of water have a negative charge which holds them together.If you look at a molecule of water and a molecule of air under a microscope, you will see that the covalent bonds are much smaller than the actual molecules. This makes the water molecule look more like a bead in the water while the larger molecules of air look more like tiny balls. The bonds which hold the water molecules together are very weak and it is not possible for a force to be formed between the covalent bonds of water and the covalent bonds of air.It takes a strong force like that created by gravity to break the bonds. The strong force that forms between the water molecules is known as a potential energy and it forms when the water molecules are in motion. When a covalent bond forms between the water molecules, the water and air molecules are allowed to move around freely.The chemistry of water and the air molecules and the water molecules interacting with each other form s the fundamental law of nature. That is why a good understanding of chemistry is essential to any serious student of physics. Most people learn about the law of attraction through a syllabus, which outlines its relationship to physics.Being able to read a textbook is not a good enough answer to a good understanding of a subject such as physics, as we have to be able to comprehend it using nice mathematics. Chemists are trained in mathematics, which helps them to be able to understand more complicated concepts.

Tutoring Service Ads - Find the Best Tutor for Your Child Online

Tutoring Service Ads - Find the Best Tutor for Your Child OnlineFinding tutoring service ads on the internet can be a challenge. So much information out there! It can be overwhelming, but it is worth it. You want to find the best service for your child.First off, check to see if any of the tutoring service ads you find are going to be able to guarantee their service. Some of the advertisements don't even mention they'll take your child. And who knows how they do it! They could be lying about it! Better safe than sorry!Go online and find the independent tutors you've heard about. What I mean by that is independent tutors who are teaching in the public schools that are not part of the district. Some of them have certification, and some don't. I found two that I want to show you to help you determine if you can trust them. Take your time.One of the tutors I found in a newspaper ad for a very good public school system. He offers free tutoring and often an interview, which is always nice. His programs are really excellent, and I recommend them. But he could be lying, so beware. I would also find a tutor that offered a seven-day or weekend course as I did.Another place to look for tutoring service is a private tutoring agency. There are several types, and you will need to check each one out to determine which will fit your needs best. The most popular type of agency is one run by a woman. So if you have a daughter or son, look for an agency run by a woman.Don't assume that they are all the same one!Check out the client reviews and ask for ones from other parents you know. Sometimes the reviews are different, but you have to assume that they are similar. The agency is in business to make money, so do your homework.Choosing an agency is easy. Just choose one you think you can trust. Be careful when you're choosing an agency. It's better to have no agency than a bad one.

4 Rock Singers With Great Vocal Technique - And 4 Without

4 Rock Singers With Great Vocal Technique - And 4 Without Suzy S. Do you love singing rock? Here, voice teacher Molly R. shares her recommendations for four singers to check out for how to sing rock and four more you can learn from! When you think about impeccable vocal technique, it’s not often that a rocker comes to mind, is it? Usually we’re praising the beautiful tone quality, high notes, and volume of an opera singer, or perhaps a jazz or musical theatre vocalist. Rock singers are usually known for their larger-than-life personalities and stage presence over anything else. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t rock singers out there with amazing, healthy voices. Au contraire! Some of the singers listed below are on par with many opera divas and divos as far as technique is concerned; their style just happens to be totally different! Here is a list of vocalists  with great rock singing technique: Ann Wilson Now here is my absolute favorite singer of all time Ann Wilson of the rock band Heart. Yes, I may have studied classical singing but let me tell you, if I had a choice to sound like Renée Fleming or Ann Wilson, I’d definitely  choose to sound like Ann! There’s a reason why they call her the “female Robert Plant.” What a powerhouse she is! First of all, this dynamic performer is in her 60s  and sounding better than ever. This is an indication that she has been using reliable vocal technique for decades. She can let loose with killer forte phrases and it sounds powerful, never forced. Why? She connects with her body  and doesn’t squeeze her throat! Ms. Wilson has also studied voice formally to keep herself in good vocal shape. Obviously it’s worked as she has enjoyed a very long career and is still going strong with absolutely no signs of slowing down. Here she is in 1977, performing live: Chris Cornell Mr. Cornell has a rich baritone rock voice that is the envy of many male singers! Although there is only one Chris, male rockers can take a cue from him by taking voice lessons  (he studied with the same teacher than Ann Wilson did, in fact!). In the video below, listen to him  singing something fairly unexpected a ballad! With great vocal technique, a rocker should be able to switch gears and sing something like this with more sensitive phrasing. If you push and scream your way through your rock singing career, you’ll simply shred your voice. Don’t you want longevity, like Chris? Pat Benatar Pat Benatar is another rocker still going strong in her 60s! Fun fact: She studied classical singing as a young woman and was even offered a spot at Juilliard. Although she chose the rock route, having a reliable vocal technique has kept her singing big rock songs for more than  30  years. Here she is singing “Heartbreaker” fairly recently. Notice she still has a very clear and powerful tone, especially through her middle range. Long phrases and big notes are no problem for this lady: with her classical training she knows how to support! Ronnie James Dio He may no longer be with us, but his amazing rock voice lives on! Frontman Dio never actually had any formal vocal training. However, he did  study as an instrumentalist, and has claimed that his time as a trumpet player gave him excellent breath technique. Not only that, but he loved to listen to opera from an early age. Clearly the breathing he learned as a trumpet player built up his lung capacity and allowed him to hit full, high notes with ease again and again. He was known as one of the best metal singers ever, and I think you can hear why. This song requires lots of stamina he’s staying in his upper register for most of it! Now, what about rock singers who well dont have the greatest technique? There are a few that stand out. Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day has an extremely  nasal sound. It always sounds like he is singing completely congested! This is due to the fact that he is not singing with any sort of open throat technique to make a more pleasing, ringing tone. This happens when the soft palate is not raised. Listen here: Lita Ford had better success as a top guitarist, and to me it’s clear why. Although her big hit Kiss Me Deadly” is a great song, I can’t help but wonder what it would sound like if she sang it out a bit more fully, rather than yelling or talking-singing most of it. Remember, there ARE healthy ways to “scream” in rock   but you better find a teacher who  specializes in this technique to guide you through it! In the video below, Sheryl Crow is lacking some serious support, putting out a wimpier, airier sound that’s fairly common in pop and rock. If Sheryl trained with good old-fashioned staccato vocal exercises to strengthen her diaphragm, she’d be sounding a LOT more powerful! She needs to sing with more lower body. Eddie Vedder has what I’d call an…. interesting sound. More specifically, he is covering! This means he is manufacturing his sound to make it sound darker in tone (usually this happens when the tongue is in the way). In reality, the audience just hears garbled, muddy sound. If one of his main articulators (tongue) is always in the way, no wonder we don’t understand a word he’s singing! Learn How to Sing Rock Do you have aspirations to be a strong rock vocalist? There are many teachers on TakeLessons who  can help you achieve your goals! Find a  singing teacher near your or online, and he or she will work with you to  build a solid and reliable vocal technique no matter what style it is that speaks to you!
