School Resources, and Free period

School is there for more then just a way to get out of the house for 8 hours a day. While you're there be sure to take advantage of all the things your school does have. For example if you need to do research stop by the library during free period or after school. If you have nothing better to do during your free period start typing up a paper you have due or pick up a book, when you find the right book its worth it, reading also helps build up vocabulary for the SAT.
There are many websites that you could use to help you study, to look up college information, etc. Here are a few.

BRAINPOP: This website has quizzes and videos that make any concept easy to understand in every subject.

Other websites you want to be mindful of are:

COLLEGE BOARD: I highly recommend creating a profile for this page because it has all the information you could possibly want and need about colleges (try the college match tool), SAT tests and registration, ACT test, AP classes, CLEP exam etc.

COLLEGE CONFIDENTIAL: As well as being a forum site there is also a lot of information on colleges that would be right for you. Check out the college match tool.
