Q: Long, extended study sessions with no breaks will not help you learn information effectively. To be an effective learner, you will need to take regular breaks as you work. Try studying in 30 minutes intervals, and taking a 5-10 minute break at the end of each interval. If you find that your concentration is starting to falter, you may have to pause studying for the day or switch to a different subject. Do something relaxing during your break that doesn't take too much concentration, such as stretching or walking. Use flash cards, mock quizzes, and practice exams to more effectively learn information. Taking a test helps you learn information better than simply re-reading the information. Try creating flash cards to quiz yourself. You can also create, or ask your instructor for, a mock quiz or practice exam. You can create a simple mock exam for yourself by copying all of the questions from your previous quizzes and answering them. Consider taking a mock quiz or exam first. The topics that you struggle the most with are the ones that you should focus on when studying. Some people retain information better if multiple senses are engaged in the study process. One way to incorporate multiple senses while studying is by reading your notes out loud as you rewrite them. This approach uses multiple senses and might help you retain information more effectively. Try using a song, acronym, or mnemonic device to help you remember information. For example, if you need to memorize the notes of the treble scale, EGBDF, you can assign the letters a set of words or phrase that is easy to remember, like, "every good boy does fine." Memory games don't work for everyone. If you find yourself struggling to memorize information using this method, skip it.
A: Study in intervals. Quiz yourself. Use as many senses as possible. Play a memory game.

Q: The Facebook app icon looks like a white "f" on a dark-blue background. Facebook will open to your News Feed if you're already logged in. If you aren't already logged in, enter your email address (or phone number) and password, then tap Log in. It's at the top of the screen. This should be something you enjoy, such as a music genre or a type of food. You should see the interest appear below the drop-down menu; tap it to search for it. It's in the upper-right side of the screen. Doing so will filter your search to show only pages. You may have to swipe the row of tabs at the top of the screen to the left in order to see Pages. This should be the page you want to like. The "Like" icon is the thumbs-up image to the right of the page. Tapping it adds the page to your interests.
A: Open Facebook. Tap the search bar. Type in an interest. Tap the interest. Tap the Pages tab. Tap the "Like" icon next to a page.

Q: Pick a good, clear picture to serve as a visual introduction to your profile. Headshots are good choice, especially if you're a public figure or want to be more immediately recognizable. Like your bio, your profile picture should represent you and clue your followers in to type of content you tend to post. Displaying a photo lets other users know that there's an actual person on the other end of the account. Well-known companies can use a logo as their profile picture. This will be the first thing people will see when they open your profile. Go with the name you most often respond to, and use your first and last. You can also tack on any other defining titles or nicknames that you think will help other users have an easier time finding you. Many Instagram users make the mistake of using a name other than their real one, or omitting a name altogether. This can make it harder for other users to search for you, and may even make your account look less legitimate. A title or nickname can help distinguish you from other users with the same name. For example, "Maria Roberts *Leadership Consultant*" or "Alex 'Hambone' DuPont" leaves no doubt as to which one you are. Instagram only gives you 150 characters to get your point across. Whatever you think up should therefore be short and sweet. Make room for important descriptive details, contact info and related links. Otherwise, let your profile speak for itself. Save longer rants and descriptions for the captions on your individual posts. Long, rambling bios and captions tend to get passed over more often than short, punchy ones. Whether words are not your strong suit or you just want to keep things a little more playful, emojis can lend a little flair to an otherwise plain bio. Adding a simple smiley face or other symbol can break up the monotony of plain text with some much-needed color and character. It will also draw more eyes to your page, making your other content more likely to be seen. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. A single symbol can tell users what they need to know about your interests and pursuits, freeing that space up for other purposes. Emojis are best used sparingly to highlight certain ideas. Too many of them can quickly become distracting.
A: Upload a photo of yourself. Include your name. Be concise. Use emojis.

Q: You can look it up online or ask a sales associate what it will be. While states usually set a statewide sales tax, some municipalities add their own taxes on top of that. This means that the sales tax rate can vary drastically when moving between different cities or counties. Sales tax is not charged on all items you buy. Check online to see what is, and is not, taxed in your area. Take the percent number and imagine a decimal point after it. Now move that decimal point two spaces to the left, giving you the decimal equivalent of the sales tax percentage. For example, if the sales tax rate is 8%, the decimal figure will be .08. This calculation will give you the amount of tax that will be charged for your purchase. For example, if the item you want to buy is $20, multiply 20 times .08 and you get 1.6. That means you will have to pay $1.60 in sales tax. This will give you the total price you will have to pay at the register. Using our same example once again, if you will be charged $1.60 on your $20 item, simply add 1.6 to 20, for a total of $21.60.
A:
Determine the sales tax rate in your location. Convert the sales tax percentage into a decimal figure. Multiply the price of the item by the decimal figure you calculated in the previous step. Add the amount of tax you calculated to the listed price.
