There are quite a few SAT preparation schools in Singapore, that offer a variety of related courses. Fees can range from the low S$1,000+ all the way to S$5,000. For example, one of Singapore’s leading admissions prep school, Prep-Zone, charges S$2,200 for personalized one-on-one tutoring, which includes six 3-hour sessions and practice tests. Another leading prep school, ICON+, charges S$2,300 for their 16-hour personalized SAT training program and even throws in a “200 point score improvement guarantee”.
   What is SAT?
The SAT test was formerly known as the Reasoning Test in Singapore and is a paper-based standardized test which tests one’s ability to go to college. It was first introduced in 1926 as Scholastic Aptitude Test.
The current SAT test introduced in May 2005 tests your verbal, grammar, and mathematical skills. It is one of the most popular tests in Singapore and is mainly taken by Singaporean students who wish to continue their studies in the United States for Undergraduate programs. It is offered only 6 times a year in January, May,  June, October, November and December. The duration of the test is 3 hours and 45 minutes. For students outside the U.S., the online SAT test costs S$115 while the paper test costs S$184.
  The SAT Scores
The SAT scores range from 600 to 2400 points, and combines the test results from three sections – Mathematics, Critical Reading and Writing, which has a total combined points of 800. Each section is scored on a scale of 200-800 points and are multiples of 10. The test typically begins with the easiest questions at the beginning of the paper to the most difficult questions towards the end of the paper. However, this rule only applies to all sections except for the Critical Reading portion which is in chronological order.
   SAT Reference Books
In addition to SAT prep classes, you may wish to purchase SAT books to help you with your preparation. We highly recommend The Book Depository, UK’s largest online bookstore, for their huge variety of SAT books and also low prices.
SAT Section 1 – Mathematics 
Mathematics, which is also known as the Quantitative Section or the Calculation Section consists of 3 sections, two 25-minute tests and one 20-minute test. The 20-minute test consists of a total of 16 multiple choice questions.  The questions include advanced math concepts such as Basic Algebra, Intermediate Algebra and Advanced Algebra. Questions will form around favorite triangles, fractions, decimals and percentages.
The first 25-minute section consist of 20 multiple-choice questions. The second 25-minute test has a total of 8 multiple-choice questions and 10 Grid-in questions. The 10 Grid-in questions allow you to have a more natural math response than the usual multiple choice questions. With this scoring system, you are supposed to fill in the grid with 4 boxes and a column of ovals below every box.
Calculators are allowed for the SAT math test but only the 4-function scientific and graphing calculators. Calculators with a ‘QWERTY’ keyboard and calculators on laptops, organizers and mobile devices are not allowed.
The average score for the SAT Mathematics section is 515 points.
SAT Section 2 – Critical Reading 
Critical Reading is divided into 3 sections as well, two of which are 25-minutes long and one which is only 20 minutes. The Critical Reading section generally tests your ability to understand long and short passages by asking you complete sentences within the passage.
You are being tested on your vocabulary and grammar in various subjects such as physical science, humanities, social science and required to determine the meanings of words, the main idea, making inferences and evaluating the writer’s main arguments or objectives. You are also required to compare passages and answer questions according to the passages.
There are two main categories for this test, one is the sentence completion test, which ranges from a total of 5-8 questions, and reading comprehension. You may want to complete your sentence completion questions first as the reading comprehension takes more time to complete. Also all questions are scored equally, despite the level of difficulty. The average score for Critical Reading is 501 points.
SAT Section 3 – Writing
The Writing section consists of multiple-choice questions and one brief essay. The essay test is 25 minutes long and contributes 30% to the total score, while the multiple-choice questions contribute 70%.  The total duration for the Writing test is 60 minutes.There are 49 multiple-choice questions, divided into three main sections.
Identifying Sentence Errors
18 Questions
Improving Sentences Questions
25 Questions
lmproving Paragraph Questions
6 Questions
   The Identifying Sentence Question as well as the Improving Sentences Section is scored on a solo or single and unrelated subject on a selection of topics. For example, for each of the 18 identifying sentence error questions, you’ll see one sentence with five underlined words or phrases in it. Your task is to figure out which underlined section has an error. If there is no error, you’ll have a “no error” choice. You get 1 point for every correct multiple-choice question. and you lose a quarter point for every wrong answer. No points are given if you change or omit your answers.
The Improving Paragraph questions on the other hand, are based on a simple passage. The average score for Writing is 493 points.
An example of the test below : You have twenty-five minutes to write an essay on the topic assigned below.
“Many persons believe that to move up the ladder of success and achievement, they must forget the past, repress it, and relinquish it. But others have just the opposite view. They see old memories as a chance to reckon with the past and integrate past and present.” (Adapted from Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot, I’ve Known Rivers: Lives of Loss and Liberation Assignment: Do memories hinder or help people in their effort to learn from the past and succeed in the present?)
Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

Hello there! I apologize if this is sort of late, but better late than never~! If you know me well, you would’ve expected me to start with AP World History. In this post, I will be giving you my description of the course, my own tips on acing the dreadful test, and put a link down to some super helpful resources.
Description:
AP World History is the kind of course where you have to understand concepts and themes throughout the course of time, rather than memorizing facts (though it’s optimal that you do it). It takes a lot of lectures, individual work, and practice to ace this class. If you’re not into history as much as I am, you definitely should exert a lot of effort and seek motivation throughout the year.
As for the test, it consists of a 55 questions of multiple choice (55 minutes) that gives you documents or graphics per set of questions, 3 questions of short response (40 minutes), 1 document-based question essay (60 minutes), and 1 long essay question (40 minutes).
Tips:
✽TAKE NOTES IN LECTURES! My teacher told the class in the beginning of the year that the students that write notes get 5’s on the test. Taking notes helps you retain the information than passively listening.
✽Master all the KEY CONCEPTS. Key concepts are very critical to have the right understanding of the subjects. Have a packet for each time period and annotate them.
✽ Know the themes! Do SPICE charts frequently to develop these analytical skills.
✽Start practicing test questions as early as possible! That includes multiple choice, short answers, and essays. Familiarize yourself with the format.
✽Short answer questions follow the 4-3-2-1-0 format: 4 questions, 3 parts per question, 2 skills: identify and explain, 1 point per part and 1 visual question, and 0 or all points (no half points). Make sure you answer ALL PARTS!!
✽I recommend writing an essay every month or two, depending on how much you need to hone this skill, because you surely would want to come prepared to write an essay in less than 1 hour.
✽Know what the grader is looking for in your essays. Understand what the prompt is asking you (underline and circle important words) and have a STRONG THESIS, because that is the foundation of your essay. It is best to do one extra thing of each just in case you get something wrong, you can still regain yourself with another correct statement.
✽OUTLINE YOUR ESSAY. You’re more likely to write quicker than thinking as you write.
✽Always collaborate with your teacher. Ask them for validation on your work. Come to them when you’re struggling; they are the ones to tell you what’s wrong and what needs to be fixed. They also have other resources that you could utilize to help you prepare.
Other tips: (I wrote a list of tips for myself for the test!) ✽History repeats itself! ✽Use 7 documents, do sourcing for 5 documents ✽Be obvious and straightforward (simple wording) ✽Every choice is a possibility ✽Ask yourself which answer is most related to the document/picture ✽EBD: think about the time period and what is happening in the region ✽Synthesis: first thing that pops up in your mind when you read the topic (doesn’t have to be too related; i.e. fall of empire=fall of communism)
Resources:
✽CollegeBoard AP World History Course and Exam Description
✽Key Concepts: this and this
✽SPICE Charts
✽Essay Rubrics
✽Practice Exam
✽Free Response Practice Questions
✽Crash Course
I hope this may help you in a way and good luck studying!

AP Human Geography Masterpost
Tumblr media
Hi everyone! I have decided to create a masterpost all about AP Human Geography. I took this course this past year and got a 5 on the AP exam, so I felt like it was appropriate to share my experiences and tips with everyone taking it in the future. I hope you enjoy this and find everything useful!
The Exam
The exam consists of two parts: multiple choice and free response questions/essays. Let’s break it down:
The Multiple Choice Section: 50% of exam score
Questions: 75
Time: 60 minutes
Info: You may write in the exam booklet. You are given an answer sheet in which you must use a number 2 pencil on.
Tips: Pace yourself. Read the question twice, if not three times, and understand the keywords within. If you’re stumped, circle it and move on- don’t waste time dwelling on one question. Don’t skip questions- there’s no guessing penalty, so make an educated guess if you’re blanking out. If you have extra time, use it to check your answers.
The FRQs/essays: 50% of exam score
Questions: 3
Time: 75 minutes
Info: You may write in the exam booklet to outline and annotate the question. Use the lined paper to write your final answer. Label each answer with its corresponding question number (1, 2, or 3). You must use a black or blue pen. If you cross something out, it can’t be graded.
Tips: Take 25 minutes per question. 5 minutes to outline, 2o to write. Read the question at least 3 times, and really understand it. If you have extra time, use it to add more detail to your answers and edit. Be specific. Remember to use lots of content vocabulary and think spatially. Use examples you can elaborate on. Only write what’s necessary- graders don’t want to read what they don’t have to. You don’t even need a topic sentence. This isn’t a super-formal, 5 paragraph essay. Just write down what’s necessary.
For more information, this page is really helpful!
Tips
Maps are crucial. Believe me. During every test, you’re always going to wish you took more than one glance at that one map. So make it a priority to really understand and learn these maps! Remember, you’re thinking about geography here- so maps are going to be your best friend. Find methods that work for you to remember these maps. If you’re a visual learner, just looking at the map can help you tons. My friend who is a visual learner set an important map as her phone lock screen for a few weeks before the test and it really helped her! For me personally, I’m more of a kinesthetic learner, so I found it very helpful to physically draw the map with lots of color-coding. Long story short- learn those maps!
Learn as many vocab words as you can. You can use my quizlet- just trust me on this one, okay? Your teacher’s tests + quizzes will likely revolve around these vocab words- in fact, there may even be a couple of questions that simply ask you to define a word! Even if this isn’t the case in your class, they’re important to know for the exam. When writing FRQs, you want to use as much content vocabulary as possible to show your proficiency in the topic. If you know more words, you can use more words! (duh!!) So, you should definitely take the time to learn these.
Review books! They’re going to be your best friend! If you don’t want to pay for them, you can get pretty cheap used ones on eBay and Amazon. I personally used the Princeton Review book and loved it, but I had a lot of friends that used the Barron book and scored high as well. I also just stumbled across this free online review book- it doesn’t have any practice tests, but it looks like it has tons of outlines and such. It has good reviews on Amazon, and although I can’t vouch for it myself, give it a try!
Remember, you’re looking for the why of where. While answering MC questions and writing FRQs, always remember to think about the why of where and to think spatially. Chances are, during the multiple choice section, you’ll stumble across a question you don’t know the answer to. Don’t panic! Using spatial analysis to make an educated guess is better than blindly guessing C.
Think spatially, always! Find ways to incorporate spatial thinking into your everyday life! By discovering connections between the textbook and your experiences, you’re strengthening your understanding of the topic and giving yourself personal examples to use for essays. For example, whenever I passed by “trending” neighborhoods in my city, I always thought about gentrification and New Urbanism. Guess what? It was an FRQ!
Always think about FRQ prompts. While reading, taking notes, doing practice tests, learning words, etc, etc- think about FRQ prompts! Remember the keywords used in FRQ prompts: describe, discuss, define, analyze, give an example, explain, compare, contrast, and assess. Using these words and the concepts you’ve learned, compile some ideas of potential FRQ prompts. Thinking about them will help you answer them better! (If you need ideas, take a look at these past prompts.)
Consume current events + media. Watch the news, read Twitter moments, take a peek at your local newspaper once in a while- however you consume your news, do it often. APHG revolves around current events and how they are incorporated into the world spatially- so the more you know, the more options you have for examples for FRQs.
Practice, practice, practice! I couldn’t tell you how many practice tests I did before the exam. Countless FRQs- fun fact, College Board releases past FRQs for you to use and practice with, and you can find dozens online! You can also find tons of practice MC questions online and in review books. I recommend taking the MC section, whilst of course timing yourself- you want to make sure you don’t run out of time during the real exam- and then afterward, checking your answers and revising the ones you got incorrect. After that, determine which topic that question falls under and tally up how many questions you got wrong per topic. It will give you a good idea of what you need to study & how much! Overall, just try to take as many practice exams as possible to really grasp the test. They’ll become easier and easier with time!
Resources
Vocab Flashcards by me!- Feel free to use them and share them, just please give credit :-) these have almost every single APHG vocab word in them! They’re divided up by the units my teacher did, so if they don’t match up with yours feel free to customize them however you’d like.
iScore5 App- The best $5 I’ve ever spent. There are a few typos, but this app has everything- flashcards, practice questions, and even some FRQ prompts with answers. It makes it super easy to study whenever you have free time- and you can’t use the excuse that you forgot your exam book at home, because you have it right there on your phone!
Albert.io- So, this does cost money- but it’s a great investment. (Edit: I think it only costs money to view the answers- which in my opinion is super important! I’m not totally sure though- someone lmk in the comments!) It has tons of super great and realistic MC questions and some nice FRQs.
And that’s about it! If I forgot anything, feel free to add on in the comments section, and don’t forget to reblog this/share it with all of your fellow APHG study buddies! I hope this is helpful to at least some of you, and I wish you the best of luck!

So be quick and speak exactly.
2.   Read Aloud: You see that the recording box displays a countdown until you do not open the microphone. For this, you have just 30-40 seconds to prepare or normally it depends on the length of the passage. When 40 seconds complete, you hear a small beep in your headphone.

For preparation, you have to give just 3-9 seconds depending on the length of a sentence or in that time you will observe the typical words and the accents, in which you have to speak. After prompt duration time, there is a short tone, after that tone you have to repeat the sentence immediately. You have to speak exactly because there is no need to rush. You have to completed the sentence before the progress bar changes into finished.
4.   Describe Images: The next type of question is to Describe images in which you see an image which you have to describe.

After completion of your Preparation time, you hear a tone, after that tone, speak immediately. Speak clearly because there is no need to rush in all words.
5.   Re-tell lecture: On the computer screen, you see audio in this section. When this question turns, it plays automatically. You may see an image related to audio. After finishing of audio, you have 10 seconds to prepare. After 10 seconds you hear a tone after that tone speaks immediately because progress bar changes into recorded. You have to describe in your own words. Finish your speaking before the progress bar reaches to the end.

English Final assignment
Short Essay ( what is Fashion to you )
People been wondering about this particular question, “What is Fashion ?”. most people answered “ its a piece of clothing that you were in daily bases”. To me is more than just a cloth it define who the real you. Not only that , other still questioning a question that can’t be answer, but more to opinion. Simply because every one that lives on earth have different answer and taste in fashion. in my opinion fashion isn’t just wearing clothes for a day it more than that not only boosting you’re confident as well as showing the true meaning of that person personalities. Without fashion you’re living in black and white world where there aren’t any excitement or meaning into your life. To me I’m more toward into street wear and designer clothes, even If it is expensive but I do enjoy it as a designer I can see why designer clothes are pricey and lots of people enjoy it. in conclusion fashion isn’t just a fabric that you wear and feel good about it and no one have the answer for it and I believe the reason for this simply because everyone have different type of style, preference and personalities .

In 70’s men and women sported similar styles. High waisted pants were worn by all sexes. Bell bottoms gave the look less exaggerated flare legged pants, then move to straight legs by the end. Short and long sleeved T shirt, button down shirts we worn tight and tucked in. 80’s fashion history is memorable and quite distinctive because it favored applied decoration on T-shirt and suit. 80’s term of fashion is all about extremes, shockingly had its value the idea of women wearing shoulder pads and some big brass button to claim their happiness.

Long Essay ( process Fashion Product)
it took me proximately 4 days to finished my amazing and good looking product called bond. for the most part I found this actually to be okay I found lots of error in progress but overall I got this in the back. the most difficult part I find is time consumption because it is annoying just wasting time and theres nothing you can do about it. first thing that you’ll need is base, so grab some water, glue, tissue and a pair of useless shoes. I need something to stick the tissue on top of the shoes, so I created I mixture to actually stick the tissue and doesn’t waste too much material. By mixing glue with warm water. It is very important to use warm water instead of cold or room temperature water, the reason is simple it help the glue to dissolve quicker and save more energy by less stirring. 60% warm water and 40 % glue a shocker to me is the water act as a glue instead of the glue, it also help to Harden tissue to stick on shoes. another important information you’ll need is to cover every side of shoes with tissue and don’t make sure to not leave any spaces behind. multiple layer is necessary not only it made the tissue to be torn also have more texture I made mine 4 layers on each shoes. please be gentle and careful applying mixture with the tissue if not theres a chance of actually tear the tissue or broke the texture. at this point the tissue are wet and ready to be dry for this progress you don’t have to do anything just leave it on open space or air could flow. It took mine about 1 to 2 hours to completely dry up. Before letting it completely dried I bought a mannequin feet online and slide it in, by doing the base of your shoes won’t be deflated rather have and shoes shape. Once it Harden it’s similar to paper mache, take out your brush water and black poster paint because its time for the best part which is coloring the base. I feel like coloring the base with just all paint is a waste of material, instead I create another mixture involve water. 50% water and 50% paint  since the base made out of tissue It will absorb a lot of moisture on the base that’s why mixing both material are important. Just take your time to paint the whole base because it going to be a while, painting sole is going to be challenged sine it isn’t covered with tissue the mixture won’t affect as well as tissue what I done is to use pure paint. once everything dry you can start making the bone so take out your das Clay and start shaping bones and joints, this is probably second difficult part in the process. I ended up making 537 bones and 315 joints, all of this are necessary and I ended up using 90% of it. the length of each bones approximately 1,5 cm x 7 cm and for the join approximately 1,5cm x 1,5 cm. After you create at least 500 bones and 300 joints you can let it dry outdoor or indoor, for outdoor with sunny weather will take 4 hours to completely dry while indoor it will took 13 hours. i strongly recommended to let it dry outside the reason is first its time consuming second it won’t stink your house with clay smell. after you got this 2 component dry and ready to use you’ll need lots of glue gun and yes this is the most hated part for this process product, reason is either you accidentally miss stick the bone or you burn or glued your own hand, It is countless how many time I actually burn my own hand and It wasn’t a pleasant memories. Moving on by plug in your hot glue and stick some bones. Before we begin to sticking I have create 2 pattern, pattern number one it consist of bone, joint, bone, joint, etc. while pattern number 2 will be joints, bone, joints, bone ,etc. the way its going to be is pattern 1 in between pattern 2 and then pattern 2 beside it will be pattern one, fill this until the front part of the shoes are completely fill and leave some spaces between each bones and joints. on each side of shoes I stick it with bones slanted a bit . At the back of the shoes stick a straight bone. as you get to the back part of the shoes the bones are designed in straight line instead of facing diagonal directions. Next is to put joints on top of slanted bones and try find the same level so it look smooth. stick 7 bones on top of front part of shoes on top of that stick some joints to create a smooth look. Beside  those 7 bones put 5 ones on each side from the first to fourth bone make it straight while fifth bone make it slanted about 45 degree. Remove any glue string or excess glue. let the glue dry and you’re basically finished, this is how you create my product within 4 days .
