5 Student Tips for Passing the CPA Exam
Schedule There are several keys to passing the CPA exam parts. The first one is to make a schedule for the times that you are going to study for the CPA exam. Once you know when the test is, then you need to plan some time to study every day. Then if you have a plan, it will need to be as detailed as possible. This means that you will need to pick one day to review all of the materials that you have recently studied. It is a good idea to make a schedule where you will be done with your studying two weeks before the date of the exam so that you can review all of the materials that you learned. You should take this time to focus on the areas where you are the weakest.

My Advice for New 6th Graders
It has been five years since my first day of 6th grade, but I'm living it all over again because my younger sister will be going to middle school in less than a month. My years in middle school weren't the best and I would gladly go back and change some things. The change between elementary school and middle school is pretty big when you think about it and going from being in one class a day to six can be a culture shock. A lot of things change in middle school and it is the gateway to high school, which is a whole other story, so I feel like 5th graders need to be a little more prepared. I am a girl so my advice is directed more to girls, but overall it's inclusive.

Selecting a School Decide what degree you would like to earn. It is essential that you know what you desire to study and how it can result in bigger opportunities in the future.

The Lonely Classroom
It's August. I'm in that mode of excitement mixed with anxiety as I start to prepare to teach. This often involves gathering up a lot of scraps of paper, things I've saved into MS OneNote and Google Keep, and reviewing the notes I took at the end of last term.

Homework: Pros and Cons
Should students get more or less homework than they currently do? It is difficult to deny that homework has countless benefits. It helps young people to understand course material more profoundly, acquire practical skills, become responsible and self-sufficient, and learn to solve challenging tasks without teachers’ supervision. However, each good thing should be used in moderation. Some educational institutions overload learners with assignments and follow the rule “the more the better.” But it is not always the case.

The Rise of MOOC
The ability to learn, anywhere, on multiple devices and at your own pace, isn't that the dream? Well for me anyway! I've been a firm supporter of continuing education ever since I first set foot on a university campus. It didn't stop there though—I believe people who want to invest in themselves, should have options and flexibility. Whether you want to learn the latest in Adobe Creative Suite, or study Forensic Accounting because hey, why not! MOOCs or Massive Open Online Courses are helping us get there.

Renaissance Woman in the 21st Century
From as far back as I remember, I wanted to be a renaissance woman. I found myself curious about everything. So when asked, "what do you want to be when you grow up?" I wouldn't have a specific answer. I wondered, why couldn't I have the opportunity to explore all fields, and then decide. How could I make the decision without even knowing what the different subjects entailed? How would I find out if I was good at them or not. I couldn't understand why one could not learn about everything. Why could one not be introduced to all the different subjects, topics, and fields? Why did we have to choose one or the other?
