Education & Reference - 22 December 2006

I am applying to 6 different grad schools, and each application asks me to list all other grad schools I am applying to. Will putting down all 5 other schools put me at a disatvantage? I mention that I feel I am a good fit for each of these schools in my personal statement, and I don't want it to look as if I don't care which school I get into or which professors I work with (I am applying to a History Program).

I have tried scholarship searches and they all require essays, if not that, they're contests. Where are the scholarships for people with good academic standing?

Around the end of the nineteenth century, wooden sailing ships and steel-hulled steamships were in competition for business on the high seas. Sailing ships were at a disadvantage because they were smaller and slower than the steamships, and the routes they could follow were dependent on the wind. But steamships also had a disadvantage: they had to carry coal to produce the steam, and this took up space that could otherwise have been used for carrying cargo. In addition, they had to make stops along the way at coaling stations to replenish their bunkers. In time, steam engines would be powered by oil instead of coal, andlater, steam engins would be repaced by powerful diesel engines, this brought an end to the sailing ship and made it possible for major shipping companies to build huge luxury liners, such as the 305-metre long Normandie, which could carry 2000 passengers and travel at over 50 Kilometeres an hour.

A recent question about the test was answered incorrectly.
1. The examiner will let you keep the topic card while you give your answer in phase 2 of the speaking test, and you will have 1 minute to prepare before you have to start.
2. You can ask the examiner to clarify a question you do not understand at anytime during the test (and should do so) - you will not get marked down for this. If the examiner does not explain the question and moves on, do not be concerned, you will not be marked down (unless you do it a lot and are therfore showing that you are unable to speak on any issue)
3. You should speak for as long as possible in phase 2 and 3 of the exam (the examiner will stop you if you hit 2 minutes in phase 2) although there is no direct penalty for speaking for only 1 minute - or less provided you answered other questions at length. You need to prove you are able to speak at length in English on the topics you are asked about.
