SAT OR ACT

Honestly guys, I am more of an SAT person. I love having extra time to nap during my test and I love that I get to rotate sections. The ACT is just way too long for me. My attention span simply CAN NOT do it. Not to mention the science section is impossible. Even though everything else is slightly easier, I don't actually recommend it. If you have any questions just comment below and they will be answered :)

SAT Tips and Tricks

The SATs are one of the most important tests you'll ever take in your life. Well, that's how they seem. This one test seems to have the ability to determine which college we go to and our success in the future. I am not a genius nor and I ever going to get that coveted 2400 but I do know some tips and tricks that I think will help!

My #1 advice would be to take practice tests. Practice, practice, and practice. You can never practice enough. The SAT is always in the same format. The questions are all essentially the same. Practicing will allow you to familiarize yourself with the test and everything on it.

I would also suggest investing in Collegeboard's SAT Study Guide! It comes with 10 different practice tests. Since Collegeboard creates the test you will be guaranteed relevant information.

For the essay I would suggest 1.5 to 2 pages of writing. The intro only has to be 2-3 sentences. Just get to the point! The body paragraphs should b filled with relevant and supporting information. If you run out of time, make sure you write at least 1-2 sentences for the conclusion. Use strong vocabulary and strong arguments and this should guarantee you at least a 5.

Also, Princeton Review's Grammar Smart is AMAZING! It is filled with grammar rules and tips! It is a must buy for all test takers.

MY LIST BOOK :D

If you're anything like me, you probably have been scouring the earth to try to stay organized in a cute and fashionable way. Recently I have been looking up some cute DIY organization ideas for a planner for school

I love the idea above. The only problem I have with it is that I am lazy at times. Drawing a new one every week would prove to be too much for me.

ANYWAYS
So I recently started a list book. I found a unused little spiral notebook in which I have been making lists.
Cute List Ideas
I was inspired when I saw listography books on Tumblr. They are basically books filled with pages instructing you to come up with lists. I thought it was the cutest thing, however, instead of spending money on these books, why not make my own? So that's exactly what I did. I am sure all of you  have a spare notebook laying around. Fill it up with lists of your own!
Have fun! and comment below with your thoughts and comments :D I would love to hear about your ideas for lists!
