Suggestions for writing Open-Ended and College-Specific Essays. What I mean by "open-ended" essays are questions such as "Write an essay on any topic you choose.

This video teaches how to use factoring (e.g., prime factorizations, finding the greatest common factor of two numbers) to solve questions involving the division of large numbers without using a calculator, as when such problems are found on the "no calculator" section of the SAT.

This is also the same math you'll find on the GMAT, GRE, CHSPE, CAHSEE, CBEST, CSET, and other standardized tests that test you at a high school level.
