Tip #1

Apply for Accommodations.  You should know that if you have a documented disability you may be eligible for certain accommodations on test day.  Remember that the operative word here is documented because the College Board may cancel your test scores if they determine later that such documentation was lacking or inadequate.  On the brighter side, if do happen to get an accommodation for another exam, for instance the AP or PSAT/NMSQT, you do not have to request another for the SAT.  You can simply use the one you that you already have.

Tip #2

Proper Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance.

Once you have your disability documentation, don’t wait around—apply as soon as possible to the board, preferably BEFORE you register for the exam.  This is important because you have to get an Eligibility Approval Letter from the board which will contain an SSD (Services for Students with Disabilities) code that you must enter when you register online for the test. Keep in mind that if you register for the test without this code, you will be registering for a standard test without accommodation.  Although you can call the Services for Students with Disabilities section of the College Board if you do happen to receive your code after you register, it is a lot easier and safer to do it beforehand. On that note, be advised that the deadline for requesting accommodations comes before the registration deadline.

Tip #3

Train According to Your Approved Accommodation. A little red light should be flashing in your head by now.  You should be asking  yourself – “How can I train before test day if I don’t even know what my accommodation is?” Exactly!  Getting the time to train according to your accommodation implies that you applied for and received the accommodation several weeks before the test date.  Otherwise this plan is useless. Okay, enough about early planning.

Tip #4

ADHD. Let’s say that you have a documented diagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and the College Board has granted you an accommodation of “fifty-percent extended time.”  You should train by pacing yourself during the practice exam based on the fact that you will have more time to answer each question.  Remember  that there is a downside.  Your test is 50% longer than the other students’ tests!  This means that you’ll need to practice developing the stamina that you will need to make it to the end.  Alternatively, you may receive shortened test periods, that is to say, extended breaks as your accommodation.  This means that you will be testing when others get up to take their breaks…a distraction for sure, so bring your earplugs.

Tip #5

Asberger Syndrome. Since Asberger Syndrome is a high functioning disability in the Autism Spectrum, you will need an accommodation that helps with your reluctance to interact socially.  You might for example, request a distraction-reduced environment away from other test takers or at least ask that the chairs adjacent to yours be left empty.

Help Meeting the Rising Cost of College Tuition

According to the March 25, 2012 Wall Street Journal “College Math 101: Calculating the Real Cost of Attending” article, “The cost of attending a private college rose 5% for the 2011-12 school year, while the cost of a four-year, in-state public college was up 8%, according to the College Board.” The article continued, “And 123 schools now charge more than $50,000 a year for tuition, fees, room and board.”

Take out student loans, even federal student loans, to cover the cost of tuition and you may find yourself looking at monthly loan repayments that are as large as some home mortgages. Fortunately, because you are serving on active duty in the military, your dependents may be eligible to get their education paid for by the government, saving you and your family tens of thousands of dollars.

Programs that your dependents may be able to get their education paid for through include the Survivors and Dependents Assistance and Military Spouse Career Advancement Accounts (MyCAA). You may also be able to transfer your Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits to your children if you meet certain eligibility requirements. Benefits associated with these programs include receiving up to $957 in tuition assistance benefits if dependents attend school full-time and receiving up to $698 a month to help pay for apprenticeship programs for up to six months.

Military Dependents Getting the Most Out of Their College Education

To get the most out of their college education, ensure your dependents major in subjects that are experiencing job growth. Also price compare tuition at various in-state schools so your dependents receive a quality education at a reasonable price. Postsecondary schools your dependents enroll at should also be fully accredited by organizations recognized by the United States Department of Labor (DOE) and not simply in the process of seeking accreditation. Getting college degrees from non-accredited schools can cause the degrees to not be recognized by employers and other colleges and universities.

Also keep in mind that your dependents can use military tuition assistance funds to enroll in distance learning and college certificate and diploma programs. For example, your dependents can enroll in marketing or business management certificate programs. Some college certificate and diploma programs can be completed in as little as three to six months. Additionally, because certificate and diploma programs generally require students to only take courses related to their career field (e.g. marketing) courses are robust, in-depth and focused.

Just make sure that, should your dependents choose this option, they search job boards to confirm that employers will hire professionals who have work experience and some college as many employers want job candidates to have four-year degrees. Additionally, if your dependents major in fields that require state licenses (e.g. psychology, electrician) they may have to earn two or four-year degrees as some states will not allow students to take examinations unless they have completed a certain number of college credits.

Although your military dependents may be eligible to get their college tuition paid for by the government, there are deadlines on the benefits. For example, your dependents may only be able to receive some tuition assistance benefits if they are between the ages of 18 and 26. Should your dependents let these deadlines pass, unless they qualify for and receive college scholarships and grants, they may have to pay their own tuition out-of-pocket.

Steps Toward Developing Good Study Skills

Acquire good study skills, ones that you regularly put into practice, and you may shorten the amount of time it takes you to comprehend new material you read in college textbooks. You can also understand information your professors cover in class more clearly if you take the time to acquire these skills.

As a college student you may likely already know the best times of day for you to review classroom material, times when you are more likely to retain the information. You probably discovered these prime times while you studied for exams in high school. If you don’t know the times of day when you best retain information spend five minutes reading college textbook material in a quiet environment (e.g. without the television on) and another five minutes reading material when you can overhear background noise (e.g. radio playing a mellow song at a low volume).

Put the book down for 20 to 30 minutes then ask a friend to quiz you on key points in the book. Then read another three to four pages out of the same book in a different setting (e.g. quiet if you previously had low music playing in the background). Ask your friend to quiz you again, asking you a different set of questions. Measure the results by how well you retain information. This is worth trying because, believe it or not, some people retain information very well if low sounds can be heard in the background. On the other hand, if you find yourself easily distracted, looking up to check out what’s airing on television or stopping to listen to the words to a song playing on the radio, studying in a quiet environment may be the better choice for you.

More Ways to Develop Good Study Habits

Additional steps you can take to develop good study habits include:

• Read one or more books a month for entertainment. The more you read, the easier it may be for you to “spot” key points in material.
• Use a marker to highlight key dates, names and events in college textbooks
• Have a friend quiz you on highlighted key points in textbooks three to four times before you take exams
• Study highlighted parts of textbooks one to two days prior to exam dates rather than reading over the entire text
• Get plenty of sleep each night. Fatigue can cause you to forget key points, even if you have read and studied them repeatedly
• Avoid waiting until the last minute to start studying for upcoming exams. This can lower your anxiety levels, allowing your memory to work optimally as you complete college exams
• Eat a healthy meal one to two hours before you take exams (not only might it be easier to recall information when you’re stomach’s not growling for food, you might find that you’re in a better mood)

You researched colleges and universities, ensuring schools you’re interested in attending are accredited by organizations recognized by the United States Department of Education. Additionally, you may have visited two or more of the postsecondary schools you’re thinking about enrolling at. After you apply for and receive your military tuition assistance, helping you cover the cost of your college education, there is one more step you can benefit from taking. You can develop good study skills and habits, skills and habits that can shorten your learning curve and earn you higher test scores.

A terminal degree is a means to an end; it will prepare you for entrance into a specific type or group of jobs. A terminal degree implies there is no need for any further education, thus the word “terminal.” Degrees from professional master’s programs are usually marked by specific initials that denote their area of specialty, such as a degree in Master of Business Administration (M.B.A) or Master of Library Science (M.L.S.).

Top 10 Master Degrees are the best for you to pursue to get a job as a veteran

• Physician Assistant
• Computer Science
• Civil Engineering
• Mathmatics
• Physics
• Information Technology
• Human Resources Management
• Economics
• Geology
• Business (MBA)

There are lots of 4-year accredited colleges or universities offer comprehensive online or campus master degree programs you can attend part-time or full-time. You can also take advantages taking online master degree programs while serving in military.

Military Spouses Education Key to Increasing Family Incomes

Aside from moonlighting and working a second job after they finish a grueling day of military work, out in the field, at the office or at sea, there is another way the family income of active duty military professionals can increase, allowing military families the chance to have additional funds to spend on leisure, vacation travel and personal growth. For example, if military spouses desire to start or advance their careers, by being open to the idea active duty military professionals may help increase their families’ incomes by as much as 50 percent.

Money generated by military spouses working can be used to save for children’s private education or music lessons and cover the cost of home repairs and additions. The additional money can also be deposited into retirement accounts to grow investment savings. However, one look through job boards and it becomes clear that many employers across industries are looking to hire professionals who have professional licenses and/or college degrees. For example, employers seeking to hire administrative assistants frequently state that they want assistants who have bachelor’s degrees in fields such as project management, business secretary training or executive assistant.

To get around having to get college degrees, military spouses, akin to their civilian counterparts, often have to demonstrate that they have several years of on-the-job experience in fields they want to work in. By posting relevant job experience on their resumes, spouses can overcome this challenge. For spouses who don’t have prior job experience in career fields they want to work in, going back to school may be a viable option.

Combining College Education with Job Experience

Military spouses are encouraged to be smart when considering this option. Before enrolling in college courses, they should research careers they want to major in to see if the careers are growing or declining. By majoring in career fields that are expected to grow over the next several years, military spouses can increase their chances of getting hired after they graduate with college degrees. Furthermore, while completing college courses, military spouses are encouraged to take advantage of internships and work study programs, allowing them to gain valuable on-the-job experience as they continue their education.

Another way military spouses can get the most out of their college education is to take electives in additional areas they are considering working at. For example, military spouses majoring in psychology in effort to gain a counselor’s license can take electives in life coaching and learning and development. Training, skills and knowledge they can by taking the electives can be used to work at jobs as a life coach, corporate learning and development trainer or as an executive career counselor, thereby increasing their employment options.

By using tools such as the Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics’ digital job handbooks to research the career fields they want to work in, military spouses can increase their chances of getting hired into jobs that are expected to grow over the next several years. Furthermore, if military spouses continue their education by enrolling in accredited colleges and universities they may not only gain the skills to get hired into quality jobs, they might also build a level of job security, a rare commodity in today’s working environment.

Practicing Rewarding College Assignment Completion Skills

Start Managing Your Academic Time Wisely

To succeed at college you need to practice solid time and project management skills. To do this, determine which days of the week and times of the day you are going to complete school assignments and study. The longer you stick to the schedule, the easier it may become for you to make the time to focus on college assignments even on days when you’ve just finished rigorous work assignments.

Consider working on challenging school projects first so that you can devote the majority of your time to completing these tougher assignments. Focus your efforts on completing school projects; forego concerning yourself with studying as you complete the projects. This can lower your stress levels and improve your retention levels.

Additionally, if you have difficulty making the time for school, consider teaming up with friends and family members who are also taking college courses. For example, you can meet with friends and relatives at your house, a library or community center to complete assignments. Regardless of when you sit down and complete school projects, avoid cramming or waiting until an hour before bedtime to start working on the assignments.

This means that you may have to skip hanging out with your buddies a few nights a week. If you have young children, consider sitting down and completing school assignments while they’re working on their school projects. The important thing is to find a schedule that works for you, a schedule you can stick with. Should you discover that you can benefit from more study time a day or two before examinations, ask your supervisor if you can adjust your work schedule or leave work an hour early.

Managing Time by Taking Virtual Academic Courses

If you’re stationed overseas consider enrolling in correspondence courses or taking classes from military schools. Despite what you might think, there is a broad range of courses, including non-military courses, available for you to take at military schools. For example, you can take finance, communications, education and business courses at military schools.

Also consider enrolling in distance learning courses as a way to manage your academic time wisely. As a tip, before you register for distance learning courses check with college admissions counselors to find out if there are fees associated with the courses as some schools charge fees so students can access their secure online college systems (e.g. private message boards, filing sharing documents). By taking distance learning courses you can also complete school assignments from anywhere in the world. Furthermore, and although you may have to submit school assignments and examinations by specific due dates, you can work on school projects during the day or night, at times that best fit into your schedule.

The demands of military life are enough to keep the best time management professionals busy. Add school to the schedule and, you may discover that if you don’t start managing your academic time wisely, you’ll start to feel overwhelmed, as if you have taken on too much. By teaming up with friends and family members who are also attending college and by scheduling certain days to complete school assignments, you can balance work, life and school successfully.
