Problem: Article: Shift the rear derailleur into the largest cog in the back and front derailleur into the smallest cog. Using a screwdriver, twist the inner limit screw until the inner part of the cage is as close to the chain as possible without touching it. You can try spinning the crank to make sure the chain is not catching. The inner screw of the derailleur is usually the one closer to the frame that controls the lower limit. This screw is sometimes marked as "L." Loosen the cable that is attached to the derailleur at the anchor bolt. Tighten this cable as much as possible and then make the anchor bolt tight again. It can be helpful to use needle nose pliers while doing this, but you don't have to. Shift the front derailleur up into the largest chainring and the rear derailleur into the smallest cog. Turn the outer limit screw with a screwdriver until the outer derailleur cage is as close to the chain as possible without touching it. Setting this limit will make sure that the chain does not over-shift and fall out again. The outer or second screw is the one that controls how far the derailleur shifts outwardly. This screw is sometimes marked as "H."
Summary: Set the inner limit screw to prevent the derailleur cage from moving past the inner chainring. Adjust cable tension. Set the outer limit screw to stop the derailleur cage from moving past the outer chainring.

Problem: Article: Most test centers will have a clock in the room, but you may not be able to see it easily. Find a reliable watch that you can wear during the test to keep track of how much time you're spending on questions. You won't be allowed to have your phone out, so get an actual wristwatch. The SAT tends to have easier questions at the beginning and harder questions toward the end. But that doesn't mean that what's easy for everyone else is easy for you. Skip through the test and answer the questions you know you're good at, then return to the beginning and work your way through everything else. Be very careful about marking the appropriate spot on the answer sheet if you're not going in order. Glance between the question number and the answer number before marking anything to make sure it matches. The SAT grading system used to deduct more points for a wrong answer than for an answer left blank, but that's no longer the case. Blank answers and wrong answers are deducted equally now. So if you don't know an answer on a multiple choice question, eliminate answers you know are wrong. Then guess between the choices you have left. If you're waffling between two possible answers, defer to the one that was your gut reaction when you first read the question. Your instincts are often right, so employ them if you're going to guess anyway. Typically, you shouldn't spend more than one to two minutes on a question. If you're working through a difficult question and notice that you've spent more than two minutes on it, circle it and move on. Then come back to it later if there's time. Take the time to mark your answers neatly on the answer sheet and fill in bubbles fully. When the machine is grading the test later, it won't be able to interpret what a stray pencil mark means, so it may mark the question wrong. You can write on your test booklet, so make clear marks or notes for yourself to track your progress. Circle questions you skipped entirely, and make marks next to any you guessed on but want to come back to if there's time. They also provide scrap paper, so use this to work out any math problems. Write the question number beside the work in case you want to come back to it later. If you're not a fast reader, you won't have time to read a passage, look at the questions, then read the passage again. For long passages that are more than just a few lines, skim the questions first. Then underline any information that may help you answer them as you read the passage. The typical SAT essay follows a five-paragraph format: the introduction, three body paragraphs, and the conclusion. While the intro and conclusion are crucial, there is no rule that you have to have three body paragraphs. What matters is having well-developed paragraphs, so if you're a slow writer, consider dropping the third body paragraph and writing a four-paragraph essay. Make your two body paragraphs more well-developed by backing up your claims with several examples from the text. Aim for a length of about 2 to 2.5 pages total, but don't fill the pages with overly long quotations from the passage or large handwriting. Test graders will see through this.
Summary: Wear a watch. Answer the questions that are easiest for you first. Make educated guesses for answers you don't know. Ration your time wisely. Write neatly on your answer sheet. Track your progress on the test booklet. Read the questions before reading long passages. Write a four-paragraph essay if you write slowly.

Problem: Article: Read the draft of your eulogy aloud. If you have time and the inclination, read it to someone as practice. Words sound differently when read aloud than on paper. If you have inserted humor, get feedback from someone about its appropriateness and effectiveness. Remember, writing is 90% rewriting, so expect to revise your work several times before it shines. Rehearsing the eulogy will also help you learn to control your emotions and not get choked up over the speech. Try memorizing as much of the speech as you can, or even just reading from notes. Though you should have something to fall back on if you forgot what you were going to say, your words will sound more heartfelt if you're not reading every sentence right off the page. Though you should hope that you're emotionally prepared to give the speech on the big day, you should have a close friend or family member who has read the eulogy be prepared to read it for you in case you're too choked up to read it. Though you probably won't need one, you'll feel more relaxed just knowing that you have a backup if you need one. Before you speak, calm yourself by realizing everyone in attendance is there to support you. It may help to have a glass of water with you on the podium to help you maintain your composure. Just know that everyone will appreciate your efforts and admire you for having written and given a eulogy. You can't fail. Tell yourself you're not there to win a speech-giving contest or to impress anyone. You're there to convey your heartfelt feelings about the deceased and that's it. Talk or read your eulogy to the audience as if you are talking to friends. Make eye contact. Pause. Go slowly if you want. Connect with your audience and share the moment with them; after all, you're not an entertainer, you're one of them. There's no need to be formal when you're surrounded by loved ones who share your grief. Remember to sound like yourself, not some formal version of yourself. You can use a conversational tone as long as you don't use inappropriate language or too much slang that might confuse the older members of the audience.
Summary:
Rehearse the eulogy before the big day. Have a standby. Relax. Use a conversational tone.
