If x + 6 = 9, then 3x + 1 = ? Answer choices: (A) 3 (B) 9 (C) 10 (D) 34 (E) 46 But that is not the question. You must go on to the second part of the question (3x + 1 = ?) Always be careful on two-part questions. Substitute 3 for the x in the 2nd equation. 3x + 1 = ?. Therefore, Choice C is the correct answer. III. 1 x + 1 The easiest way to solve this problem is to work from the answers, eliminating the wrong answers. Substitute a simple number you can work with quickly. Again, this does what the questions asks. We can see that x decreases when x is decreased. 3. Barney can mow the lawn in 5 hours, and Fred can mow the lawn in 4 hours. How long will it take them to mow the lawn together? Find a common denominator: 4/20 + 5/20 = 1/x 9/20 = 1/x x = 2 2/9 that Barney is a little slower than Fred because it takes him 5 hours by himself. Logic tells us that together, it would take them a little more than 2 hours.

Planning for College College as an Investment in Your Future Take the Right Courses College Entrance Exams ... Senior College Planner College Entrance Exams Most colleges require students to submit the results of some form of entrance examination. There are two major tests that colleges use, the SAT, administered by The College Board, and the ACT. The SAT is the most widely known exam but in some areas of the United States, the ACT is more frequently the exam of choice. Most colleges accept either test from students. As in other parts of your college planning process, it is always best to review the information from each college to determine their preference. The PSAT/NMSQT The PSAT/NMSQT is the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, a test co-sponsored by The College Board and the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. It is a practice test taken in preparation for the SAT. It measures critical reading skills, math problem-solving skills, and writing skills. The PSAT includes questions that are similar to those you will find on the SAT. While the SAT does have a writing sample or essay, there will not be an essay on the PSAT and, since juniors will not have finished third year college preparatory math coursework, there will be no third year college preparatory math questions.

Admission officers from some universities also consider other factors, such as a student's socioeconomic level, the geographic location of the high school (rural, inner-city, suburban), and whether the applicant is a first generation college student. In addition, applicants whose parents are alumni or who have letters written on their behalf by persons respected by college admissions officers is helpful.

College Entrance Exams Can Confuse Students By Evelyn Canales In the United States, College entrance exams are required by many colleges in order for a person to enter their institute. Some of the entrance exams that are required are the SAT, the ACT, and the TOEFL. The exams test English and some test math and other subjects. Any person planning on taking any of these exams must know the area of studies each exam is going to test in order for them to prepare because each exam is different. For example there is the SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test), which has two kinds; there is the SAT I and there is the SAT II. The SAT I is required by most colleges. It tests the persons knowledge in English, algebra, and geometry. The ACT (American College Testing) is another exam, which is somewhat different from the SAT I. The ACT subjects include English, math, and science. Another exam is the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language); nonnative English-speaking persons can take this exam. The TOEFL tests the person's ability in the English language only. The SAT II is different subject exams - mathematics, English, science, foreign languages, and history. This means that you can take an exam in subjects like chemistry, biology, and others. Some colleges require the applicants to take the SAT II in certain subjects.

Since Blue Valley has high percentages of its students taking these exams, comparisons to state and national data must be made cautiously.

In that sense they can also be used as one measure of how well a high school is serving a portion of its student populationthose planning to attend college. Using these scores to compare schools or districts is unfair because they do not include all students. Their greatest use is for an individual building or district which compares the scores over time. The most current Blue Valley ACT/SAT results are presented below.
