What’s a Good ACT® Score? What’s a Bad ACT® Score?

Until recently, the SAT® was the test to take to qualify for college admissions. It has been administered consistently since the 1920’s and is considered a staple in American culture, and is even a rite of passage to some.

So, in 1959, the ACT® program was born. ACT® is an abbreviation for American College Test and was started by a professor in Iowa who was dissatisfied with the SAT® testing format and procedures.

Harvard Advanced Placement (AP) Credits

Ah, Harvard: the crème de le crème of American higher education. If you are reading this article, you have either been recently admitted to Harvard (which in that case, congratulations) or consider yourself a competitive candidate for admission (if this applies to you – good luck!).

Whichever situation you find yourself in, you still need the same questions answered about Harvard AP® credits. Obviously you need to take, and excel in, quite a few AP® classes to gain admission to Harvard…but once you are there, what does the school do with your AP® scores? Do they not matter at all, or will they give you advanced standing? Wonder no more – because we have all the answers.

How the AP® Computer Science Principles Course Provides Teachers Flexibility

Most students who sign up for AP® Computer Science do so because they love computers or they love programming. These students feel right at home in the course because they get a comprehensive overview of programming in Java. It’s a rigorous class meant for students who are passionate about programming.

But what about the students who have never tried programming? Why would these students sign up to take a rigorous course to learn a skill they know nothing about? These students would benefit from a class that focuses not just on programming, but the computer science field as a whole.

Rules of Logarithms: A Comprehensive Algebra Review

Logarithmic functions have several important algebraic properties. Logarithm rules (sometimes shorten as log rules) are the instructions on how to perform algebraic manipulations with logarithmic functions. In this article, we’ll introduce these rules, examine why they are true, and walk through some examples of their use.

To understand the rules of logs we have to remember what the logarithm is.

What “Science Practices” Mean for AP® Chemistry Students

In 2013, with the introduction of a new exam, the AP® Chemistry community was tossed in a new direction (or so it would seem). Content standards were replaced with Big Ideas, Enduring Understandings, Essential Knowledge and Learning Objectives. The committee of college professors, secondary teachers, and College Board elite sacrificed breadth for depth and away went such topics as Molecular Orbital Theory and Colligative Properties. While topics such as organic chemistry are not explicitly named, their compounds and names continue to show up in questions related to bonding theory and hybridization. With all these changes at work, we suddenly saw the introduction of “Science Practices”, but what exactly are they? In short, “Science Practices” refers to lab experiments and the need to expose our AP® Chemistry students to them.

The German Tank Problem Explained: AP® Statistics Review

The German Tank Problem is a famous statistical problem that helped the Allied Forces during World War II, and can help you with your AP® Statistics review. Statisticians use estimators when dealing with samples from a larger population.
