TIPS:
If you'd like to make an appointment with a tutor you want at the most convenient
time, you should call front desk at (646) 312-4830 on Friday afternoon when
they start making new appointments for the next week.
You can download a complete TI-89 manual or only chapters
you want here .
To be a more efficient and productive learner
you should know your learning style. There are four basic learning styles: visual,
aural, read/write, and kinesthetic. To find out which one is yours and to get
more information on this topic go at the VARK website and
click on "Questionnaire."
When you take a multiple-choice
test, don't try to guess by just looking at the possible answers. First try to
solve the problem and then compare the result with the choices.
Another technique is eliminating the wrong
answers, called educated guess. Let's say there are four choices; the probability
of guessing the right answer is just 25% and picking the wrong answer is 75%. After
a quick thought you might eliminate two of wittingly wrong answers; the
probability of guessing the right answer would increase to 50% and picking the
wrong answer would drop to 50%. This is a much better deal!
However, if you run out of time or have no idea
what the right answer is, you can try to guess it. Usually the right answer is
not the first or the last, and it is the longest one (because it takes more
words to formulate a perfect answer). Even though this technique does not work
all the time, it can be handy in some situations.
Read all the choices before choosing the answer
especially if you have a choice "All of the above" or "None of the above."
You can find useful information at the SACC
website as well as download sample tests from the previous years.
