GPA

Why is a 2.5 important?

Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship (KEES)

The KEES program provides scholarships to students who earn at least a 2.5 GPA each year of attendance at a certified Kentucky high school. The better you do in high school, the more you earn toward college. You may also earn awards for ACT/SAT scores and Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB) or Cambridge Advanced International (CAI) test scores. Home school and GED graduates may earn awards based on their ACT scores.

KEES Base Award Amounts

For each year you earn a 2.5 or better GPA, you can earn the base amount listed below. For instance, a high school freshman who earns a 3.5 GPA would have a $375 scholarship for each year of college. Amounts may change based on available funds.

3 strategies to improve memory and study skills

It's the perfect time to think about implementing some new study strategies before the school year starts. Psychologist Kenneth Higbee, author of Your Memory and How It Works, " recommends the following:

1. Space it out. The brain remembers better when it's given information in small doses — like three one-hour study sessions rather than one three-hour study session.
2. Use whole and part learning. If you need to learn a large chunk of material, is it better to learn it straight through or should you learn small pieces at a time? Higbee recommends employing both, reading the whole section through once or twice to get a basic understanding before breaking it into smaller parts to learn each one in detail.
3. Use a study system. A study system is simply a standard method of approaching the study of any material. One of the best known methods is the SQ3R: Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review. To survey, read the various structural parts quickly without digging too deep.

After that, study the sections in great detail, and then recite by going through headings and subheadings in the textbook and saying what you know from memory. The final review shouldn't take that long, perhaps a few minutes of each study session.
