C2 Education, an elite test prep and tutoring provider, had sixteen students from a single tutoring center earn finalist standing in the highly prestigious National Merit Scholarship competition.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) April 01, 2013

The National Merit Scholarship is awarded to just 1% of the more than 1.5 million high school juniors who take the PSAT each fall. To earn finalist standing, students must not only earn top PSAT scores, but must also demonstrate academic dedication, extracurricular involvement, and future promise.

C2 Education Cupertino's sixteen National Merit Scholarship finalists come from four local high schools, including nine students from Lynbrook High School (two of whom earned a perfect PSAT score), five students from Saratoga High School, three students from the Harker School, and one student from Monta Vista High School. Each of these students has put forth spectacular effort to earn such impressive recognition.

C2 Education emphasizes the importance of PSAT preparation for those students interested in competing for the National Merit Scholarship. PSAT preparation not only helps students to earn top scores in this highly competitive arena, but also allows students to get a head start on preparation for future tests, including the SAT and the ACT.

The latest chapter in lessons of Kim Jong-un's saber-rattling has left us with this: South Korea and U.S. are pretty convinced North Korea isn't that serious about making good on its bellicose threats of war — the propaganda-happy nation wouldn't even fire a potential first shot in any conflict. So why is the U.S. continuing its own show of force by moving a big ole missile destroyer and a mobile-radar station in the direction of North Korea?

WASHINGTON (AP) — The parading of U.S. air and naval power within view of the Korean peninsula — first a few long-range bombers, then stealth fighters, then ships — is as much about psychological war as real war. The U.S. wants to discourage North Korea's young leader from starting a fight that could escalate to renewed war with South Korea.
