學習動機 Learning motivation

I planned to take my first official SAT at the start of November, and I thought I needed to practice more to get my target score. I am aiming to get as high as I can. For the New York TImes contest, I wanted to improve my writing, and considering that the iGEM competition ends at the end of October, I thought I could do it at the same time. 

學習目標 Learning target

SAT: 1400+

New York Times: explore different writing styles, take it as practice of college app’s essay, and if can, get an award

學習過程 Learning process    

SAT: give myself weekly homework, and study vocab everyday, finish all the practice question available on AP college board.

New York Times: revise it at least once every week, keep drafting and revising

For SAT, it was hard to have consistency in my learning, but I overcame it by assigning myself weekly homework.
