   Jennifer70 replied to BrittRN2B14's topic in General Students

   * get prepared as soon as you can, with a special study area. Get all your supplies, books, etc all set up before. I was still buying stuff the first week of school. Not ideal, financially it had to be that way. I felt so unorganized and can't wa...

   Jennifer70 replied to Natasha101's topic in General Students

   Hello there. I just got into ARC, so we are probably in the same area. A friend of mine was at Sierra and she got a "c" which they consider too high of a grade to repeat, so she had to retake it at ARC. That might be an option for you. Your defini...

6. Mom Needs Study Tips PLS!

   Jennifer70 replied to itsa307's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I remember taking those pre-req science classes. I have 3 kids and the best way for me was to leave the house since that is a distraction. It seems as if there is always something that can be done (dishes, laundry, vacuuming, etc). I usually went/g...

    Don't be nervous about this class if you already took API&II. You will do fine and find that alot of the material collaberates with your ap material. The material is interesting and I enjoyed the class alot (unfortunately I got a B though). J...
