Essay Writing In College Entrance Exams

My daughter has one more year to go before she goes back home in the Philippines for her college degree. Her school is currently prepping all the secondary level students for some serious essay writing because most universities require essay as part of the entrance exam.

The school has provided some tools and resources for the students to refer to in the internet and in their school library. Some sites like http://www.college-paper.org/ offer samples of prepared essays for the students to read and pick up ideas on how to write a good essay.

Essay writing is an integral part of entering the collegiate level. And it does not stop in the entrance exam only. It becomes a major part of a college student's life in the university as most subjects require term papers to be submitted as part of the requirement.

It is really wise to start practicing as early as now and pick up the rudiments of essay writing to get ahead from the rest.

Exam's Over!

The past two weeks have been very hectic for me and my daughter because it was her final assessment week. I wanted to ensure that her grades would not fall from the school's high standards.

I have been regularly making reviewer and mock exams for my daughter based on the coverage of the test. I normally get aid from a test maker and add more details as I get through the mock exams as per subject.

It is a bit difficult for me now to create reviewer for my daughter who is in Grade 6 as compared to her lessons in the lower grades. It has been a very long time since I last held a Grade 6 book. Besides, her school is following the British curriculum and much has been changed. So, I have to research and study too in order to be effective in facilitating her review session.

Thank goodness we have the privilege of getting help online nowadays. I just read her books and notes and also refer to the Internet for more in-depth discussion on the topic required. There is also an exam software that I can use to aid me in providing my daughter a mock exam and reviewer close to what she is actually taking in school.

I am glad that her exam is over. I can finally rest for a while and probably let out a sigh of relief when I get her report card in few weeks time.

Slacking a Bit

It has been a while since I posted something in my blog apart from the regular. I have been very busy with my daughter's final exams the past few weeks, preparing her for the big event. I have been running like crazy lately as well because of my quest to lose weight. Remember I posted about that few months ago? I am keen on having that goal finally ticked on my list!

Bear with me folks as I slack on my blogging duties to fulfill my motherly chores and health goals. I will be active again very shortly once the school is over and it's just around the corner :)
