Tonight I was snouting around my private forum when finding some very useful resources for education. Please save any that are relevant.


Tests Required for College:

http://www.collegeboard.org/ Sign up for the SAT here. Test dates are posted on the website. Get it done late junior year or early senior year

http://www.actstudent.org/ Sign up for the ACT here. Once again dates are posted on the site. Get it done in the same era

College Search:

https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/college-search This is my favorite college search engine. It's by the same group that's in charge of the SAT and the oh so wonderful AP Tests.

http://www.cappex.com/ On top of searching for colleges you can find scholarships as well.

Knightcite-
http://www.calvin.edu/library/knightcite/
Good for writing papers. Just figure out the info on the article, and the format you need, and it will format the source correctly for you.

Khan Academy-
http://www.khanacademy.org/
I'd definitely recommend Khan Academy! It is a fantastic science (and other stuff) resource! The videos are very fun to watch. Audio/Animated(maybe?) lessons on common things you might need for classes.

Ted Talks-
http://www.ted.com/talks
Short speech-like video that cover a variety of topics in entertainment, technology, science, and world politics that can be useful in sources, information for a paper, or even a thought provoking cool-down.

This site is really helpful when getting familiar with MLA-style papers. I had to do a couple in high-school and a few in college, so OWL is a mighty handy resource:

http://citationmachine.net/index2.php

This is the most helpful little tool ever when writing long research papers that require a lot of footnotes and bibliographic citations, it saves a lot of time.

http://www.nytimes.com/ref/timestopics/topics-education-navigator.html

This is a bit of a directory, it can direct you to a number of resources and organizations.

Also this site is the best resource I've found for any computer hardware or software term i wanted to look up. If you want to know whats inside your computer and how it works this is a good place to look.

Codecademy is a great place to learn code (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc...) http://www.codecademy.com/tracks If you are doing a class with code, this will be a big help.

I was particularly impressed with
The Independent's Top 10 Revision Tips: with their revision timetable and adapted it to suit my own. And it worked really well! I'm glad I found that link. For national newspapers and the sometimes the great info they produce, this is one thing that I so love about the Internet.

And moar :p
