Studying is one thing that most people do not appreciate doing. Taking the time to go over topics you have already learned and engraving them into your brain. Somehow most people make it through their high school years of studying, whether it is on the bus ride for a sports game or staying home from the basketball game to do it. Then, there are college years, which you may have to stay home from going out with your friends for a night just to finish that project or cram all night for a test.
Universities require students to take the ACT or SAT tests in order to be accepted. Everyone dreads taking these tests, even though you can take them as many times as you want. There are ways you can study for them and multiple online “quizzes” to take to prepare yourself. Nobody wants to study everything they have learned throughout all of their previous school years just for this one test, because it would take forever. Kids do not want to take time away from their daily lives of watching funny youtube videos or others online to study for the SAT.
Now, higher score insight has a video that helps students prepare for the SAT. They call it suck-free learning. There are multiple crazy things to keep you entertained in this video such as a bear that swills energy drinks and also refreshes your memory in multiple areas. The video on the higher score insight site is all about introduction of the SAT and eliminating distractions. Instead of this boring website: http://www.satexamprep.com/, which provides a boring way to prepare for the SAT test.
The video is broken down into eight different episodes, with each being about 14 minutes long. Having the information broken up and organized makes it so much easier for viewers to comprehend. I think it would be a lot easier to keep clicking and watching these videos over and over again like youtube videos to refresh your brain on information. Episodes 1 and 2 are currently released and other episodes are in the making.
It will be interesting to look back ten years from now and see how the scores have changed from students who decide to use these videos to help them study for the SAT. There is a fee of $29 for all eight episodes of the prep SAT. If you think about it that is pretty cheap because in the end they will pay off and you can always sell them when you are done taking the test.

I like the idea of watching a video as opposed to studying out of books. I like to learn in a hands-on approach. I also like to see, hear, and read information to insure that I'm soaking up as much as possible. These videos actually sound very effective. I'm learning Spanish right now, and I find it very hard to learn vocab and syntax from reading it in a book. I would love to have a video like the one you described help me study Spanish.
ReplyDeleteWhy oh why didn't they come up with this when I had to take the test? I did good on the test, but I know that the studying process would have been more tolerable if I had been able to watch that video. Learning with audio stimulation is very important for a lot of people, and I'm sure some kids will get great use out of this.
ReplyDeleteI like this idea. I didn't really study for my ACTs when I was in high school. Something like this would have helped. Kids have shorter attention spans and something like this would actually be somewhat interesting to them. I definately think that I would have attempted to study a little harder. I am really interested in seeing if this helps out our youth bump up their grades
