Numbers and figures are an essential part of our world, necessary for almost everything we do every day. As important as this subject is, it’s definitely not the easiest to study. Sometimes students are lucky and have a knack for numbers and math, whereas others struggle with calculations and formulas. You don’t really need to be good with numbers to pass a test, but you do need the right tools in order to prepare and study for your tests. But before you can dive right into studying the materials – you should make some notes about how to properly take a math test, without making stupid mistakes. (more…)

Have you ever wondered why the sky or the ocean is blue? Maybe ponder the science of physics by dropping things? Curiosity is something ingrained into the human brain – begging to grasp the concepts that we experience at a young age and even into adulthood and old age. The way we come to conclusions though, vary from person to person, as we all experience things differently.
