How much writing and reading are expected?

Sometimes you can't understand what you're reading unless you break it down to annotate, and annotating takes long itself to do. Do all subjects require to do that as well?

How can you manage your time in college?

I'm asking this because college can take up a lot of your personal time. Like will there be a lot of homework everyday for every subject? There will be deadlines around the same time so what can you do to turn it in on time.

I have been accepted to many universities for Mathematics Education, but I don't have enough money to attend most of them.

I am looking for as many additional scholarships to assist with my college expenses.

Should test be altered to fit each student and challenge him or herself.

Every student is given the same test. Each student learns and struggles differently compared to his or her peers. My opinion, rather than creating a set level which every student must work on, creating a level for each student will reduce stress on the student to compete with other students....
