article: The placement test helps you decide whether or not an algebra class is right for you. Maybe you don't need algebra, or maybe you need to take a different math class to prepare you for algebra. Usually, a placement test is free and comes with an appointment with the academic counselor; they will be able to tell you about your specific situation. When registering for a college course, you can choose your own professor. Ask around and find out about the different professors. Choose a section taught by a quality professor that you think would fit with your learning style. Choose a section that also fits with your schedule allowing you to attend every class. Use websites that have reviews from students have taken the course with that professor to find out who would be a good fit for you. Many community colleges have testing centers that allow you to schedule your exams to be taken outside of the classroom. This can allow for flexibility in case you need a few more days of study. You also may be given more time to finish the exam than you would during a normally scheduled class period. Speak with your professor at the beginning of the course about scheduling exams outside the classroom. If this course is essential to you continuing on to the next course, make it the highest priority when you're choosing your schedule. If you are a morning person, choose a section that meets in the morning when you are awake and ready to learn. If the best section fills up before you can schedule it, try speaking directly to the professor and explaining why it's important for you to attend class at that particular time. Many people tend to lose focus after lunch time so if you're not a morning person choose a section between 10am and 12pm or after 3pm. If you have the opportunity to do so, taking the class on its own allows you to spend all of your time and energy on truly understanding algebra. Not having to split your attention between multiple courses lets you focus specifically on the task at hand. If you really want to succeed at a four-year college, take college algebra at a community college the summer before to gain a solid foundation in math. Homework, quizzes, and exams will likely have different point values associated with them. Knowing what percentage each contributes to your grade can help you further in the course if you are struggling. Avoid falling behind because you didn't put in the time to do the homework properly! Determine how much time you will need to spend each week to really master the course. Make sure to set aside this time by scheduling it into your day.

article: Pour about a tablespoon (14.78 mL) of isopropyl or rubbing alcohol directly on a rag or paper towel. Work the alcohol into the stain. Blot up any extra alcohol with paper towels. The correction fluid should come away with the paper towels. Immediately wash the clothes as you normally would. Rub with vinegar if you're uncomfortable blotting the stain with alcohol. Put the stained area of the clothes over a clean cloth. Soak a second clean cloth in acetone. Tap the stain with the acetone-soaked rag. Use clean sections of rag each time you tap it because the correction fluid should come up with the acetone. When you're satisfied the stain is gone, saturate the area with some rubbing alcohol. Finally, rinse it with clean water before you launder it. Wear rubber gloves when working with acetone. Work in a well-ventilated area. Pour a generous amount of gasoline on a clean rag. Put an old clean cloth or absorbent paper towels behind the stain. Blot the stain with the gasoline. Once the stain is gone, wash out the gasoline by hand with liquid laundry detergent or dishwashing liquid. Rinse your clothing very well and then launder it. Take precautions when working with gasoline. Wear rubber gloves and work in a well-ventilated spot. Dispose of your rags and paper towels according to the hazardous waste regulations where you live. Try rubbing in some white spirit or mineral turpentine instead of the gasoline. Take similar precautions when working with white spirit.

Think about who is providing the comments you feel are hateful or jealous. If the person is your superior or a coach, they are most likely trying to help you improve and not cut you down. Some people have a tendency for medically recognized delusional jealousy. These individuals constantly express jealousy and may not mean what they are saying. Even when you feel that someone is being too blunt or rude with their comments, you can still accept their comments as constructive criticisms. Embrace the suggestions and keep your outlook positive.
