Free Online MIT Course Materials For High School
Mar 20th, 2008 by Cheng Chen

Physics GraphicsPlenty of high school students from around the nation study endlessly for the train of standardized tests and AP Exams. Fuelling these students are their hardcore dedication to a good education. However, the level of difficulty and time consumption obviously increases over time. Luckily, the geniuses at MIT have compiled an MIT Open Courseware website designed especially for High School Students. It contains AP Study guides, videos, notes, generalizations, and anything else to help students relax a bit in their education. Obviously, these AP Test tools should work, as they are designed by MIT.

Check out videos of competitions at MIT like the Solar Decathlon. Ever see a bullet smash through a rose dipped in nitrogen? Check out the Strobe Project Laboratory. Studying for the Physics AP exam? Watch an MIT professor explain pendulums by swinging across his classroom.

“I am a high school student in rural Hagerstown, Maryland with little opportunity to learn of subjects outside of Mathematics and English. Your website has contributed hundreds of hours to my education in Physics as well as Biology. Discovering and utilizing MIT’s OpenCourseWare site was like finding $40,000 sitting on a park bench.”

Your Time Management Skills Test
Dec 14th, 2007 by Cheng Chen

Time Management Assessments Test:

From I-CANS comes an oddly looking test that determines how well you are able to manage your time. After taking this test, you can calculate your score from a specific grading scale in which you can then interpret if you’re a Pro or Noob at time management.

Golden Chain ClockQuotes:

Part One: How Well Do I Save Time?
1. I take advantage of my learning style. I know the strategies that help me to learn best and I use them
2. I have a monthly calendar to help me keep track of my activities and obligations.
3. I have a weekly calendar to help me keep track of my activities and obligations.Part Two: Do I Throw Time Away?
1. I am often sleepy at work. I’m more of a night owl than a morning person.
2. I get to work and get busy. I don’t have time to think of my daily obligations or to plan ahead.
3. I like to do just one thing at a time. When the laundry is going, I take a rest.

Note, though, that this is hardly an accurate representation of who you really are or what your procrastination skills are. At the end, your level is determined out of only 3 possibilities.
