Have you ever found yourself studying the night before a big test? Or one of your friends reminds you of a quiz you have later in the day, so you try to re-read over your notes? If so, this is cramming, and it is the least effective way to study. With the SAT’s coming up this fall, I would like to give teens some tricks that can be helpful. When studying for a test the most effective ways to study are to space out the studying time, paraphrasing notes and categorizing information.

Foganholi is the former DeSantis appointed Board member who made the motion to fire Cartwright in November. What a dirty mess!
