    • Loan

    • Grant

    Explanation
    A loan is money that is borrowed for school and must be paid back eventually. Unlike grants or scholarships, loans require repayment with interest.

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "All of the above" because the statement mentions that there are many options after high school, and it implies that one can choose any or all of the mentioned options. Therefore, it suggests that going to Trade/Vocational School, Community College, University, or Work are all possible choices after high school.

    Instead of taking the SAT, colleges will accept _____ as a substitute

    • SAT II

    • Money

    • ACT

    Correct Answer
    A. ACT
    Explanation
    Colleges will accept the ACT as a substitute for the SAT. The ACT is another standardized test that measures a student's knowledge and skills in various subject areas. Many colleges and universities accept either the SAT or ACT as part of their admissions process, allowing students to choose which test to take based on their strengths and preferences. Therefore, if a student does not want to take the SAT, they can opt to take the ACT instead and still have their scores considered by colleges.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    What school can I go to  in order to transfer to a university?

    • Community College

    • Trade School

    Correct Answer
    A. Community College
    Explanation
    A community college is a type of school where students can complete their general education requirements and earn an associate's degree. Many students choose to attend a community college with the intention of transferring to a university afterwards. Community colleges often have transfer agreements with universities, making it easier for students to transfer credits and continue their education at a four-year institution. Therefore, attending a community college is a common pathway for students who want to transfer to a university.

    • Trade/Vocational School

    Correct Answer
    A. Trade/Vocational School
    Explanation
    If you want to learn a specific trade/job such as cosmetology, fashion design, or dental assistant, it is more appropriate to go to a trade/vocational school rather than a university or graduate school. Trade/vocational schools offer specialized programs and hands-on training that are focused on practical skills required for these specific trades/jobs. These schools provide a more direct and efficient pathway to gain the necessary knowledge and experience in a shorter period of time compared to traditional academic institutions.

    UCLA is a public university because it is funded and operated by the government. Public universities are typically funded through taxpayer dollars and offer lower tuition rates for in-state residents. UCLA, being a public university, provides education and resources to a wide range of students from different backgrounds and is accountable to the public for its operations and decisions.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Private" because USC, which stands for the University of Southern California, is a privately funded university. Private universities are typically funded by tuition fees, donations, and endowments, rather than by government funding. They often have higher tuition costs compared to public universities and tend to have smaller class sizes and more resources available to students.

It is a form of financial aid that helps students offset the cost of tuition by providing them with employment opportunities on or off campus. Work study programs typically offer part-time jobs that are related to the student's field of study, allowing them to gain practical skills and knowledge in their chosen career path.

These types of schools provide specialized education and training in specific fields, such as technology, business, fashion, and culinary arts. Unlike community colleges or universities, vocational/trade schools focus on practical skills and hands-on training to prepare students for specific careers or industries.

    Explanation
    If someone wants to earn a Bachelor's degree (B.A. or B.S), they need to go to a university. Trade/vocational schools and community colleges typically offer certificate or associate degree programs, while universities offer bachelor's degree programs. Work experience alone does not typically lead to earning a bachelor's degree. Therefore, the correct answer is university.

  • 13. 

    Mark the option that is INCORRECT. A private university

    • Is typically more expensive than public university

    • Is a better school than public university

    • Offers smaller classes

    Correct Answer
    A. Is a better school than public university
    Explanation
    The given answer "Is a better school than public university" is incorrect because the question is asking for the option that is incorrect, and this statement is not necessarily true. The quality of a university cannot be determined solely based on whether it is private or public. There are excellent public universities that are on par with or even better than some private universities in terms of academics, faculty, resources, and opportunities. Therefore, this option is incorrect.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    In order to get into a UC, the tests I need to take are:

    • SAT/ ACT & 1 SAT II (1 subject test)

    • SAT/ACT

    • SAT/ACT & 2 SAT II (2 subject tests)

    Correct Answer
    A. SAT/ACT & 2 SAT II (2 subject tests)
    Explanation
    To gain admission to a UC, the requirement is to take the SAT/ACT test along with 2 SAT II subject tests. This means that in addition to the general SAT/ACT exam, students must also choose and take two subject-specific tests. The other options mentioned in the question, such as only taking the SAT/ACT or taking one SAT II subject test, do not fulfill the admission criteria for a UC. Therefore, the correct answer is SAT/ACT & 2 SAT II (2 subject tests).

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    Money for school given because of financial need is called a

    • Loan

    • Grant

    • Scholarship

    • Work Study

    Correct Answer
    A. Grant
    Explanation
    A grant is a type of financial aid given to students based on their financial need. Unlike a loan, a grant does not need to be repaid. It is essentially free money provided by the school or other organizations to help students pay for their education. Grants are typically awarded based on factors such as income, family size, and the cost of attending school. They are a valuable resource for students who may not have the financial means to afford their education and can help alleviate the burden of tuition and other expenses.
