Are You Really Ready To Record Your Song Or Book A Vocal Session

Are You Really Ready To Record Your Song Or Book A Vocal Session Suzy S. Think youre ready to write your own song and record it?  Songwriting can be an arduous process but seeing the final product is an amazing feeling. Read on for a helpful pre-recording checklist from Perth Amboy, NJ teacher  Jeff S... Whether youre singing your own song or hiring a vocalist to sing on your demo or master, there are many layers of preparation needed to ensure optimum results. Some songwriters like to wing it and hope that things will magically work out because they picked a great studio or have good equipment or simply feel that their song is destined to become a huge hitor perhaps because they dont want to risk the vocal performance sounding too rehearsed and stiff. But that mindset, in my opinion, falls under the categories of foolishness, laziness, or wishful thinking. The fact is, there are several questions you need to ask yourself before the recording session begins and prior to a singer stepping behind a mic to cut their vocal. Your sessions will go a lot more smoothly and successfully if you take the time to put yourself and your song through a series of questions. After you write your song, heres what to consider before recording it and/or booking vocal sessions: Whats the song structure? Is it a Verse/Chorus song? Verse/Bridge? Does it have a solo section? Trust meits really worth determining the structure well in advance of the session. A little planning time now will save you studio time, money, and aggravation later. Whats the tempo? I would urge you to pinpoint a BPM (beats per minute) setting before you start recording a single note. You can use a metronome to do this. What kind of groove do you want the drums to have? Steady? Relaxed? Frenetic? Edgy? Sparse? Busy? Acoustic? Electric? Electronic? Do you need percussion, too? How long is the song? Have you timed it out (including intro and fade ending)? If it comes in at over five minutes, you should at least consider doing a radio edit of the long version that puts it between 3 1/2 and 4 1/2 minutes. Time out your song prior to recording it. Radio and many other end-users for your recording usually dont respond well to epic-length tracks. Whats the style? Pop? Rock? Country? RB? Hip-Hop? If you dont know, you would be wise to get a handle of it before setting foot in the studio. Whats your instrumentation going to be? Are you tracking with live players (and most importantly, are you going to need a live drummer?) or doing a MIDI recording? If youre using live players, you need to get all your money matters in order prior to booking the session. Whats your budget for this demo or master? (Note: if youre doing the recording at your own studio and youre playing and singing everything yourself, then you dont have to worry about this one.) Whats the best key for this particular song? Determining the key that matches the emotion or storyline is crucial. Once you know that, you can ask the singer youve selected if they can sing comfortably in that key. Have a conversation with the singer beforehand about their vocal range and comfort keys. If they cant reach the notes needed, you will likely need to seek out a different singer or change the key. Is your singer familiar with the song? If youre not singing on your own song demo or master, make sure to get your vocalist some form of rough recording of the song so they can get acquainted with it beforehand. This way they wont be coming into the vocal session cold and eat up a lot of unnecessary studio time. Consider recording a scratch vocal (i.e. usually a songwriters one- or two-take guide vocal that conveys the melody and the mood to the singer). What mood do you want the singer to evoke? Heartbroken? Energized? Reflective? Angry? Happy? Is this recording intended to be a demo or master? For example, should it be a broadcast-quality recording that can be used in film, TV, or a top-notch album? If its a master, then everyones performance must be great (if not perfect) and the recording quality has to be excellent. Thats a lot of stuff to think out and plan for, but it will be well worth the time you spend. I hope it leads you to many great recordings and vocal sessions.

Should I Go to Florida State University

Should I Go to Florida State University The tutors behind Varsity Tutors are not just here to teachtheyre sharing their college experiences as well. Matthew is an Orlando tutor and 2016 graduate of Florida State University. He holds a bachelors degree in economics and finance and tutors several subjects, including algebra tutoring, economics tutoring, and writing tutoring. Check out what Matthew had to say about his time at Florida State University: Describe the campus setting and transportation options. Matthew: Florida State University had the public transportation options that one would expect from an urban campus. I was able to take advantage of the university-operated bus system, which took students across campus and to certain apartment communities. I was also able to take advantage of the municipal bus system, which visited other apartment communities and some shopping centers. I felt safe on campus, due in large part to certain university-operated safety features such as Safe Ridea shuttle service that would pick up students anywhere on campus if they ever felt unsafe while walking at night. Although a car is not at all necessary for attending class, it may be helpful for securing off-campus employment, since many of the nearby job opportunities exist in the surrounding suburbs, which do not have public transportation services. How available are the professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants at Florida State University? Matthew: Since Florida State University is a large, public university, it is often difficult to get one-on-one attention in popular classes, which may have hundreds of students. This is especially true of online classes. In fact, for one of my accounting courses which was only offered online, I needed to provide my professor with more than three weeks of lead time before securing a thirty-minute appointment to review a previous exam. However, it is not impossible to form relationships with professors, especially through school-sponsored organizations. Academic advisers can be just as busy during certain times of the year, and, even if they are available, their advice is extremely depersonalized due to their large work load. Students are largely on their own when it comes to course selection. As with professor availability, there are exceptions to thisI was in the honors program, which provided me with additional advising opportunities, and I found them much more useful than general a dvising. I don't recall having difficulty scheduling appointments with teaching assistants, but many classes do not have them. How would you describe the dorm liferooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students? Matthew: Florida State University offers a great social experience. I believe that all dorms are suite-style, which means that students do not have to suffer through community restrooms. There were plenty of dining halls, and they were open when I needed them. For students who know they want to become involved in Greek life, they will have no difficulty finding opportunities to do so. Which majors/programs are best represented and supported at Florida State University? Matthew: I felt as though Florida State University had great liberal arts programs, and many of my friends were involved with theatre or music. In the College of Business, it seemed as though the risk management and insurance program, the professional selling program, and the accounting program received a great deal of support and had great job placements. I studied economics and finance, due to my interest in transactional law. I felt supported in my areas of study. I felt most supported through advisers with whom I was connected through my extracurricular involvement. How easy or difficult was it for you to meet people and make friends as a freshman? Does Greek life play a significant role in the campus social life? Matthew: I did not have difficulty making friends at Florida State University. Housing does a great job of facilitating interaction among students in the residence halls, and I made friends with many of the people who lived on my floor. I was also involved with several extracurricular organizations, including a Greek organization. Greek life is prevalent at Florida State University, and students have plenty of opportunities to engage with campus through their fraternity or sorority. How helpful is the Career Centerand other student support services? Matthew: The Career Center does a great job, not only helping students find employment, but also helping students get the most out of their Florida State University experience. I worked closely with an Associate Director at the Career Center for much of my experience at Florida State University, who helped me secure a Fortune 100 Internship for the summer of my freshman year (among other opportunities). Reputable companies recruit through the Seminole Futures Career Fair, and I had many friends land top internships early on. However, it seemed as though the recruiters pulled from specific colleges and specific majors from within each college. How are the various study areas such aslibraries, the student union, and dorm lounges at Florida State University? Matthew: There are several libraries on campus, which have great, newly renovated study areas. However, they are extremely crowded, and it is often difficult to find a place to sit, let alone a space at a computer. If I did not have access to a printer and desktop computer at my apartment complex, I would have missed deadlines on several occasions. This is important to note before coming to Florida State University: one cannot depend on finding space at the library to study or print, especially during midterms and finals week. Describe the surrounding town. Matthew: Students are essentially limited to campus and the surrounding area for access to entertainment and social venues, which are limited compared to other areas of Florida. The only big-name entertainment that comes to the city is arranged by the university around Homecoming, so do not count on being able to go to a stadium concert more than once a semester, if that. However, the university does bring in notable classical artists on a somewhat regular basis. How big or small is the student body? Were you generally pleased or displeased with the typical class sizes? Matthew: The student body is large. Last I checked, the population, including graduate students, was around 60,000. I was displeased with the typical class size, which often filled auditoriums. However, most of my upper-division classes were delivered in a more personal environment. Describe one memorable experience with a professor and/or class. Perhaps one you loved the most or one youregretthe most. Matthew: I greatly enjoyed a business law course which I took during my sophomore year. I was lucky enough to be in an in-person sectionI was one of thirty in-person students, and I believe there were more than 300 online students. I met with my professor during office hours multiple times throughout the semester, and the professor was kind enough to write me a letter of recommendation for a summer program later on.

How to Tutor Maths

How to Tutor Maths A Roadmap for Becoming a Maths Tutor ChaptersHow to Become a Maths TutorQualities Needed for Maths Tutoring JobsTutoring Maths, Step by StepFind Students for Your Maths Tutor JobsMaths Tutor Prices EarningsDue to the very nature of maths, it would seem that that subject is daunting to many students. Judging by the volume of websites that offer online maths help, the need for maths tutors is great and growing.Are you someone who is passionate about maths? Have you thought about becoming a maths tutor? This article will tell you all you need to know about starting out in the world of tutoring.The good news is that there is no law requiring any certification or licensing to work as a tutor in the UK. Therefore, if you have the necessary skill and are passionate about numbers, shapes, equations and functions, there is nothing stopping you from imbuing your future students with maths competence.Tutoring in maths can be enriching and rewarding for you and your students.Enabling a fundamental understanding of maths and logic not only permits your students to pass exams, but they can use 'mathematical thinking' and logic in all aspects of their life which, in turn, serves to advance society.Besides, as a self-employed private tutor, you get to set your own hours and the pay is pretty good, too!Without further ado, let us explore the many ways you can convert your maths skills and teaching abilities into a productive, fiscally attractive, mutually rewarding venture.You can offer many different types of maths help. Source: Pixabayestimated 2-6% of secondary school students in the UK. Such sufferers may grasp mathematical concepts but perhaps cannot apply them well due to the feelings of anxiety which are evoked when they encounter a maths problem.In the most extreme cases, the student who is so unsettled by the subject that they struggle to complete even the simplest calculations as the symptoms of panic set in.Whether a student needs a tutor's help because of a condition such as anxiety, or they simply ne ed a confidence boost, tutors are not only there to teach, but to mentor.The best maths tutors empathise with their students. They put themselves in their pupil's shoes in order to understand the difficulties they are experiencing, and tailor teaching methods to suit the  learner's strengths whilst working on their weaknesses. A popular method which is used by tutors to ease their students into maths with minimal anxiety is to disguise learning as play; by incorporating mathematical concepts into a game, you can get a student's mathematical brain in gear without them even noticing! Playing math games at the start of your lessons is a great way to help your student relax before they start learning about and using maths in a serious context.Learning disabilities and Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLDs), such as dyscalculia  are also among the reasons many parents seek one to one maths help. Dyscalculia affects a person's ability to understand the way in which numbers work and grasp concepts such as addition and why counting is important. In the same way that dyslexia affects a person's ability to master language, dyscalculia can make learning number sense much more difficult. For this reason, learners who have trouble reasoning and counting, who cannot grasp concepts such as ranging numbers from biggest to smallest might need your patience more than your maths expertise.And, speaking of expertise...It might seem redundant to emphasise that a maths teacher should be a master of the discipline, at least to whatever level they wish to instruct, but it is necessary to drive that point home.Consider the fact that you will be called on to answer any question your tutee might pose. You will be expected to clarify difficult subject material and help your students work through each step of  complex equations, being fully capable of explaining each step along the way - and you must do so with a surety that only one well-versed in the subject can have.This is why it woul d be preferable for you to have undergone the same learning trajectory as those you teach maths to, at least in general terms.For example, if you received your education in Scotland, you are perfectly qualified to assist students in England or Ireland with maths tutoring, but the fact that your students will be following a slightly different curriculum to you, and being examined by different exam boards, may be challenging. The best way to overcome the issue of preparing for unfamiliar exams is to do some research before you plan a lesson; ask your student about what working they are expected to show, visit the exam boards' websites and look at some sample papers and mark schemes - knowing what is being asked of your students will make your teaching go further and ensure that each student fulfils their potential in mathematics.But what if you left the education system a long time ago? Maybe you acquired your mathematics skills from somewhere other than school? It's worth knowing tha t although having recent, first-hand experience of maths learning in school is helpful to tutoring, it's not obligtory, and many industry professionals and retirees go on to have successful tutoring jobs.There is muh more to tutoring than the transmission of knowledge; tutoring is about the enrichment of students' lives though an alternative method of education which goes beyond the school curriculum. So, although it's likely that many of your students will be following the same course content and sitting the same exams, you need to remember what makes tutoring different from classroom teaching: personalisation.Every learner is unique, and each one presents a singular set of requirements for you to meet. Whether teaching elementary math or algebra, it is necessary to adapt your knowledge, skills, abilities and experience to each of your students' personal needs and goals.This means taking the time to talk to them about the points they find difficult to understand whilst taking their preferred learning strategies into account. Are they a visual learner? Or do they prefer to learn by doing? Trying new things and asking for regular feedback will help you to keep your lessons as relevant and as effective as possible. Your job as a private tutor is to act as a problem solver and help students overcome the obstacles created by the one-size-fits-all teaching methods used in schools so that they can achieve the academic success they wish for.A student's achievements proclaim their teacher's abilities.The old engineering adage, KISS â€" Keep it Simple, Sir! - also applies to teaching maths. You should dilute difficult concepts into everyday language, or through real-world examples: slicing a pie to explain fractions, for example.Breaking down calculations into steps and explaining each one in detail is also a good way of making math concepts easier to understand.For your younger, or more hands-on students, try using building blocks, hoops and other shapes to explain ge ometry and arithmetic.Good maths skills require vision and imagination. While you are formally called on to help develop students' maths proficiency, keep in mind that you are unofficially training their minds to work in a rational, logical manner.There is maths everywhere we look. So get your students interested in the maths around them every day by using visual aids, props,  kinaesthetics and even music to show them just how intrinsic mathematics is to even the most seemingly mundane aspects of life.For example, why not demonstrate the presence of maths in everyday life by using a set of scales to show how cooking ingredients are measured out? Or use a recipe to explain ratio? The more a student appreciates the relevance of maths to their day-to-day lives, the more they will be thinking about it, and the higher the likelihood that they will be motivated to succeed.You will guide your pupils through the intricacies of maths studies. Source: Pixabay planning lessons  which are tailo red to each student's needs.It can be tempting to rely on a stockpile and reuse lesson plans from lessons you have already delivered, however, it is important that you review your materials prior to each tutoring session. This does not mean that you have to create a brand new lesson plan for each session, but you should take some time to look at that day's work before you meet with your pupil. Spending a moment to do this will give you a chance to try to anticipate the student's difficulties and formulate responses in advance, making for a smoother lesson.The way in which you break down your learning programme is also important and ensuring that the student understands where they are in their learning journey when you begin and end each session is especially important.Before moving to another concept, ensure your student has fully understood and retained the previous lesson. In order to help the student consolidate their knowledge from the last session and get in the right mindset f or learning new material, prepare a few test questions or a quiz, perhaps related to students' interests: “How many players would Manchester United have at the next game if 12% of them are out sick?”, for example.Prepare props or handouts to help explain new material in a visual way and give students something to help them revise. If you are helping a student to prepare for maths revision  GCSE or other exams, feel free to give a mock test, just to assess what facet of the exam your assistance is most needed. GCSE and A level past papers can be found online and are free to download, so you'll have plenty of mock exam material.It is important that both you and your tutee see official exam questions as a learning aid, rather than something negative to be overcome. Helping your students to get used to tackling exam questions will familiarise them with the exam format, and reviewing their answers alongside the mark scheme will help them to get familiar with what is being asked of th em so that they can keep calm when the day of the exam arrives.Your sessions should be used for teaching and explaining, however, you should regularly assess your students throughout the course of your teaching, not only to keep track of their progress but to also pinpoint weaknesses and prove strengths. Assessments can take any form you like, however, they should not eat into your one to one teaching time too much.When it comes to discussing your student's performance with them, bear in mind that reprimanding or disapproving of incorrect answers or uncertainty is counterproductive. A positive, encouraging attitude is a must! Gentle corrections with good explanations are the most suitable or, better yet: guide your pupil to the desired answer. Letting your student reach the correct answer themselves will not only allow them to use the right method, but it will also avoid damaging their confidence.As a new tutor, it can be difficult to find your place in the market, especially when i t comes to setting your hourly rates. Read our  article on how to set your maths tutor prices for all you need to know about earning money as a private tutor.Find Students for Your Maths Tutor JobsStarting up your math tutoring business may seem easy, until you have to find some students who require your expertise!Thankfully, advertising your tutoring services and getting your name out there is easier than you may think!Here are the main ways new tutors find clients:Work through a tutoring agency. The benefit is that clients come to you and their needs have already been assessed. The downside is that you would be an employee, working within the confines of that company  and your pay could be less than if you worked independently as agencies usually take commission. Tutoring agencies can also tend to be quite selective when it comes to choosing their teaching team, but if you're suitable qualified and don't want to spend your free time looking for clients, this could be the right opt ion for you.Placing an ad online is an easy and cost-effective way to advertise your services, but it is possible that your ad could be overlooked, especially if you choose to not pay for premium placement. Many tutors use local advertising sites such as Gumtree, however, online tutoring platforms such as Superprof as becoming increasingly popular as they offer advertising services specifically for tutors. While you're online, you can do a search for students who have placed an ad for a math tutor and offer your services.Word of mouth is a powerful advertisement medium which is not to be overlooked. Talk yourself up! A chat with a neighbor, a casual exchange at the local grocer and, who knows? Your first student may well be living right next to you. And even if you don't speak to anyone who is in need of your services, the people you do speak to may know someone who is looking to find a tutor.Maths Tutor Prices EarningsThe amount of money you can make as a tutor depends on what lev el and what facet of maths instruction you give, your experience in teaching maths, where you live and when you work.Generally speaking, a Maths teacher salary in England ranges between £15 and £30 per hour.If you are based in London, you stand to earn more than if you worked in or around as less densely populated area.Here are the average costs of one to one tuition around the country:CityAverage Price per HourLondon £22.50Manchester £19.50Leeds £17.34Newcastle £20.00Edinburgh £19.41Cardiff £18.21If you teach GCSE maths or university-level maths, you could charge more than if you instruct elementary level maths.And if you cut out travel costs by choosing to  teach maths online, you can keep more of your earnings in your pocket!No matter which avenue you choose or what level you help students excel at, giving maths lessons is sure to bring you and your students rewards.Discover the Brief History of Mathematics  tutoring over the centuries with our guide.Find tutoring jobs on Super prof.

ChaptersHow Do You Recognise When a Student is Struggling?The Teacher or Tutor’s Role for Struggling StudentsDealing with Struggling Students on Their OwnSeeing the Future as an Opportunity for Struggling Students“A good teacher must be able to put himself in the place of those who find learning hard.” - Eliphas LeviAnyone, even seemingly gifted students, can struggle at school, even with good teachers and the right resources. On the other hand, once a student starts missing school, falling behind, or failing their exams, it’s a slippery slope. At the worst, this can result in a child leaving school with absolutely no qualifications.There are thousands of teenagers in the UK leaving obligatory schooling without a single GCSE to show for it. This can make you doubt the ability of education in the UK to actually educate younger generations.So how can a private tutor help students avoid this worst-case-scenario?This is the question we’re going to look at over the course of thi s article.

Of course, there are many reasons for this figure, but those who could have left with GCSEs are those that we’re interested in at the moment. There’s a strong link between your performance at school and your later career.Whether young or old, school can be difficult for children of all ages. (Source: picjumbo_com)A struggling student, most of the time, is a student who isn’t interested in their results at school, going to university, or working a skilled job in the future. However, in a lot of cases, this might just be down to a lack of confidence and a belief that they’re unable to do anything academically.The teacher’s job is to make sure that the student doesn’t feel abandoned at school or develop a negative image of their own abilities and future. A struggling student is also a student who isn’t working to their full potential and it’s the teacher’s job to help get the most out of them. Simply put, they need to adopt the pedagogy for the student.A struggling student may be one who must work against dyslexia...As we know, students in school generally study GCSEs when they’re 16 and have the option to study their A Levels at a sixth form or college before going onto study a degree in a subject they’re interested in. A struggling student won’t see this as feasible for them and might even refuse academic support as they see themselves as a lost cause.The Teacher or Tutor’s Role for Struggling StudentsA teacher teaches more than just a given subject. They also give students the tools they need to become better learners. There’s also a psychological aspect to teaching where the teacher needs to manage students’ in order to stop them from failing. Failing at school can happen to the best of students and it’s not the end of the world.As a teacher, you undoubtedly encounter difficult moments. (Source: TeroVesalainen)The student needs to be seen as an opportunity rather than a burden. After all, this should be the main reason why they became a teacher, to help students realise their potential. If they can’t help young talent achieve their best, they shouldn’t be a teacher.Of course, they need to adopt the right teaching approach, listen to the student, and make them aware of how important their schooling is in terms of their future career and their quality of life.Helping struggling stu dents is a challenge that all countries face and ours is no exception and it can happen at any moment throughout a student’s time at school. There’s also a lot of prejudice towards struggling students and we need to be encouraging students rather than putting them down.This type of bullying makes it difficult for students with autism to learn...The tutor also needs to highlight a student’s talents, their potential, and their good results. In short, success is a good thing and it needs to be mentioned, commended and used to motivate students so that they know when they’ve achieved something. It doesn’t matter whether this achievement is artistic, literary, or sporting, anything can make a student feel more capable.Dealing with Struggling Students on Their OwnStruggling students are just like any other student and they’re also not. Of course, they’re not necessarily a detriment to their classmates but their attitude might become a problem and have a negative influence on the class as a whole.A teacher needs to be able to adapt to their students whether they're struggling or not. (Source: JESHOOTScom)They need to be made aware of their potential, that they’re gifted, intelligent, or that they can learn quickly. A few words of encouragement can go a long way to turning things around. A lot of children can struggle at school because they feel hopeless. They need to be given a chance to excel and have the feeling that they can.Being a teacher involves so much more than just transferring knowledge to students. A teacher needs to manage their students’ morale and adapt their teaching approaches to each class. When a child starts struggling, the most important thing is to make sure they don’t lose confidence in their own abilities, listen to them, and advise them on the best way to stop things getting worse.Students with dyspraxia are particularly at risk...Throughout a student's time at school, there are a number of hurdles that students need to ge t over. Teachers and tutors are there to help them over these hurdles, keep them on the right path, and make sure that they don’t give up before they reach the goal. Hopefully, this is resonating with the teachers out there.Seeing the Future as an Opportunity for Struggling StudentsPassing exams isn’t always easy. The higher the level you study, the more work you’re expected to put in. Degrees may seem like unobtainable pieces of paper to some students, but with a bit of work, support, and the help of a gifted teacher or tutor, even struggling students can achieve incredible results.Teaching is a noble and challenging profession. Make sure you make use of all the tools you have at your disposal. (Source: ArtisticOperations)A student needs to see their future as an opportunity to gain the qualifications they’ll need in order to get the job or career they want. They mightn’t get the same opportunities if they don’t have the right qualifications.  Thus, your job as a teache r or a tutor is to make them see that if they want a certain job or career, they’ll need to look at things positively and see that they’ll have the chance to achieve all this. A teacher needs to be there to help a student realise their ambition rather than feeling like they can’t do anything and leaving school without a single GSCE to their name, for example.As we all know, there are challenging times at school, something which a lot of struggling students will be all too familiar with. However, students need to look to the future and see it as their chance to work towards a career where they’ll fail, succeed, and everything in between.Struggling students are a teacher’s worst nightmare in terms of their job. However, they are also a teacher’s greatest challenge and opportunity. It’s up to them to change a student’s attitude towards learning, improve their results, and set them on the right path.They shouldn’t feel downhearted by the fact they have a struggling stu dent but rather see it as their chance to really change a young person’s life for the better. With the right approaches, teachers can perform miracles.A good educator will use a variety of teaching methods and instructional activities to teach the curriculum and engage their students in the learning experience. Their classroom needs to be a learning environment where each learner wants to be taught and demonstrate what they've learnt in a given discipline. Teaching and learning are different sides of the same coin and you can't have an effective teacher without students making the most of engaging lessons.Great teachers spend a lot of time preparing their lessons, working on their professional development, improving their classroom management, and considering how different teaching strategies work with different learning styles.Of course, for a school teacher, it might be difficult to find the time for all this preparation and it might also be difficult to encourage each student a s a large part of their job is being an administrator rather than a teacher. However, with enthusiasm and the right knowledge and skills, a teacher can inspire students and get the academic outcome they and their students deserve.Of course, all of the above advice is also true for private tutors who've been enlisted to help struggling students!

Diagram of Lungs Online Biology Tutors Tutorpace

Diagram of Lungs Online Biology Tutors Tutorpace Lungs are a pair of pinkish to greyish, conical, spongy and elastic sacs. The lungs are located in the thoracic chamber which is formed dorsally by the vertebral column, ventrally by the sternum, laterally by the ribs, and on the lower side by the dome shaped diaphragm.Thier lower broad surfaces rest over the diaphragm. The latter also function as the floor of the thoracic cavity. Each lung is covered by two membranes or pleura, internal visceral pleura and outer parietal pleura. They form a fluid filled thin sac called pleural sac. The pleural sac protects the lungs from mechanical shock and injury, keeps the lung surface moist, and provides frictionless movements to the lungs. Thoracic cavity is air tight and the pleural sacs of the lungs are in contact with its inner lining. Lungs are lobular organs. The right lung has three lobes namely a superior lobe, a middle lobe and an inferior lobe. The left lungs have two lobes, namely a superior lobe and an inferior lobe. Each lobe is formed of many small lobules. A bronchiole along with its branches and alveoli collectively form a lobule. So, each lobule has many infundibula. Each infundibulum consists of a cluster of alveoli. Alveoli are the structural and functional units of the lungs, and are the centres of gas exchange. The branching network of bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli constitute the lung

A Guide to Reviewing MCAT Practice Exams

A Guide to Reviewing MCAT Practice Exams MCAT Medical School Admissions When studying for the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT), most students tend to focus on studying through content review and reading preparation books. However, an essential method for preparing for this exam is taking numerous practice tests to prepare for the format as well as the arduous length of the exam. A critical portion of this practice is to effectively review exams in order to assess strengths and weaknesses in both content and testing strategies. Below we will discuss tips to optimizing your practice exams and strategies for reviewing them. Track exams on a spreadsheet Just as an athlete tracks their progress in training, a student should track their progress on practice MCAT exams. This tracking can be as simple as recording the composite and section scores in an excel sheet or it can be more complex. Students may record scores and progress by breaking down their performance in various content areas, timing, and other factors. It is truly up to the student as to how they mark their progress. However, most students tend to benefit from tracking more factors and analyzing their progress in terms of timing and content areas. Recording progress also prevents students from accidentally retaking the same test. It also allows them to notice overall trends in exams from different companies and in their performance over time. Overall, this process gives students a definitive way to measure progress and decide if they are meeting their goals. Review content weaknesses by section After completing a practice exam and recording scores, students typically benefit most from looking an analysis of scoring in different content areas. Most test preparation companies will include this feature in their practice exams. A detailed review of percentage correct in content areas gives students an idea of what areas within each section they are struggling with. Ideally students should make note of these areas and target them for review in the weeks prior to their next practice exam in order to see if poor scoring is due to content weakness or a strategy issue. Content weakness is typically resolved through additional studying, whereas strategy can be developed from encountering the topic through additional practice problems and passages. Review the test question by question While it is tempting to review only questions that were marked as incorrect, a great deal of learning can occur through reviewing an entire MCAT test. Some answers to questions may have been guesses or correctly answered but with the wrong application of concept knowledge. This can cause incorrect answers on similar questions later if not identified and corrected. Furthermore, reviewing correct answers reinforces material and serves as a quick review over a large amount of content. Reviewing every question on a practice exam is essential to large improvements to scores and scoring in the higher percentile ranges of the MCAT. Take notes In addition to reviewing the exam, students should be making notes on content to review. Whether they are notes inserted directly into their review books, personal written notes, or a separate Microsoft word document, they should be easily accessible for review. These notes should be reviewed within a week of taking the practice exam to reinforce the concepts they struggled with. In addition, these can serve as last minute study resources prior to their official test date. This allows students to recall topics they continually struggled with and gives them one last chance to review them prior to their exam. Evaluate your performance Finally, students should develop a method of self-evaluation on performance. Some students choose to rate their performance prior to seeing their score report and compare that with their scores after. This allows students to develop a standard on how they perform on test day. Some students prefer to assess their performance only after reviewing the test in its entirety so that they can decide whether their score is a matter of content weakness, timing, or strategy. Be wary of the second method, as students tend to be more generous in hindsight. It is easy to blame a low score on timing or changed answers. Students should make sure to hold themselves accountable and be honest with themselves in how they are performing on their practice exams. This practice is a good way to subjectively measure progress and assess preparedness for the exam. A final word of advice on practice exams… Practice exams are a great resource to prepare students for test day. Make sure as you approach test day, you do not overwhelm or exhaust yourself with too many practice exams. The week prior to your exam should be a rest week where you review notes and old exams but do not take any new tests. This rest is vital to refreshing your brain prior to the exam. Make sure you take time to rest so that you perform well on your test! About the Author Jordan Salley is one of MyGuru's most accomplished MCAT tutors. Click here to learn more!
