Need the inside scoop on high school student websites

Hola peeps! Can you drop some names of useful websites that you use or have used as a high school student? I'm especially interested in anything that might help with studying, homework, research papers, but also things like college admissions.

There are some fantastic resources out there! For enhancing your study process, Khan Academy is great. It offers a range of video tutorials on a variety of subjects, plus SAT and AP exam prep.

Quizlet is also popular among high school students. It's a platform where you can create your flashcards, or use sets created by others to reinforce your understanding of subjects.

For tools to assist with writing and research papers, Purdue OWL is an excellent resource. It provides guidelines on research, citation formats, grammar, and more. Another tool is Google Scholar which can help in finding academic articles and papers for research.

When it comes to college admissions, CollegeBoard is crucial as the "official" portal where you can register for SATs, view scores, and find some general college admissions information.

Finally, navigating the admissions process can be complex, so resources like CollegeVine can come in handy. It provides articles and guidance on everything from writing your statement to decoding the financial aid process and beyond.

Remember, different platforms may suit unique learning styles better, so don't be afraid to try several and identify which ones work best for you. Good luck with your high school journey!
