Why New Zealand is preferred study abroad destination post COVID-19

Success stories are many, you can read any from news and grin or smile, but there is a reason for big grin.
The outbreak of COVID-19 put world under tremendous pressure. Many of us started best hygiene practices as soon as we got to know there is something, and that something termed as coronavirus by health experts. Not of a medical background kid I simply followed WHO guidelines.
Coronavirus touched many nationalities which is unfortunate and heartbreaking. In those moments I recall the words from Sir APJ Abdul Kalam, who said, 'rebuilding is beautiful....'
The big question, coronavirus left on day one is who will rebuild, who will be architect, and a named poped up "Jacina Ardern-The Prime Minister of New Zealand". I am surprised to learn that during Corona outbreak in NZ she treated all people staying in New Zealand as Citizen, no one was treated as migrant, outsider or something like that.
In the very begining I realized Jacina Ardern will be the winner, and today New Zealand is declared Coronavirus free country. It's big, and Prime Minister deserves full respect.
She has shown us that man can do it. Once world has seen the victory of man when man landed on moon (Neil Armstrong), about which 'we' read and today we can see it, UNBELIEVABLE, and true.
Today if you ask me which country should I apply for study abroad, certainly I will say, NZ is one and then would follow more.
Study Abroad decision need many questions to be asked. But if you ask which country would be safe travel for study abroad post Covid-19, certainly my first answer would be New Zealand.

7 Tips to stay prepared for entrance examinations during COVID-19 lockdown

Without revisions you will forget almost 18% of lessons. Keeping things in memory is pretty tough task if you not revise. But hold a minute, there are activities you can do to remember better and keep lessons near 100% in mind. How? By doing activities. Your question might be then how to do that benzene ring activity or Bernoulli's Theorem or may be photosynthesis. To help you here are some suggestions.

1. Pick your Pencil and Paper or slate and chalk: Write your lessons, whatever you have learnt towards entrance exam preparation, write down. Much stuff will go in permanent memory.

2. Record audio-Listen your voice: Kill two birds shooting one arrow. You will learn public speaking and most importantly, when you say it loud, it goes better in permanent memory.

3. Record video lessons: Out there you may have access to many video platforms. Open your phone or computer and record it. Now it’s time to say 2H2+O2 ------> 2H2O

4. Teach your friends online: Make your group, go live, Teach. Test. Award marks for right answers and penalize for wrong answers.

(I used to test my students weekly, one mark for each right answer and may be -2/-5 marks for wrong answer and report shown to parents, better a student much harsh I was in awarding marks. And many to whom I taught secured top 10 position in class).

5. Get tired: I don't know if this thing will work for me, but for me it works often. When I feel like out of ideas I go for long long walk till my mind say, no I can't take more, I catch better sleep and next I get better ideas. You can't go out in COVID-19 lockdown, why not some rope jumping or sit-ups.

6. Design your question paper: Books, online material and many things you already have. Design your question paper and practice. You can ask to a friend too.

7. Eat right: What cookies do to our computer same happen to our brain when we eat mindlessly. Eat in limits and leave space for water in your tummy. Because you are indoors not mean to eat in plenty not good for health not for exams.

If I was in your place waiting for next exam dates I may have done all those things to stay connected with lessons. Thoughts are my own.

Thousand of US Colleges and Versities are dropping SAT/ACT requirement for Fall 2021 Admision

In the times of Pandemic COVID-19 that has hit humanity, taking a standardized test may not be a comfortable idea for many students. Normally 4-year colleges across ask for SAT/ACT score for SAT application. And the test score is also valid across many world locations. Though the college board is not leaving any stone unturned and promises home testing now with some upgrades. But if that is not enough and you are worried about Under Grad admission here is some more respite. 

• Dozens of colleges and universities are dropping SAT/ACT requirements for fall 2021 applicants, and some for longer
• 1,130+ Accredited 4-Year Colleges and Universities with ACT/SAT-Optional Policies (for Fall 2021 Admission)

Perhaps this will help many of you in better college planning even in times of crisis.

However, taking a test is better than not taking it at all. If you are comfortable writing SAT/ACT go for it, chose home testing / online testing. Its good decision of colleges to do away with the test or make test score optional, may students will be benefitted. But student life and exams go together. Take SAT/ACT as optional :-)

Stay safe!
