INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Different tarot decks use different symbology.  One of the most widely used and most widely taught is the Rider-Waite Tarot or one of its clones--the Morgan-Greer Tarot, for example. Still, it's important that a tarot deck speak to you, so look through different ones and read reviews to learn what people like and dislike about them.  Classic and popular decks are always in circulation, but new tarot decks are published each year so there is an ever-changing inventory to look through. The top five tarot decks of all time are:  Deviant Moon Tarot, Rider-Waite Tarot, Aleister Crowley Thoth Tarot, DruidCraft Tarot and Shadowscapes Tarot. Defining exactly what you hope to accomplish in your relationship with the Tarot can help you on your journey as a reader.  When you know your desired end result, you'll be better able to look objectively at where you are now and what steps you must take to reach your "destination."  Ask yourself your intention for your Tarot deck or how you plan to use it to serve others.  Mission statements may reflect goals such as wanting to develop greater intuition, enhance creativity or connect with spiritual forces.  These statements are different and personal to each individual who crafts one. The best way to do this is to handle the cards.  Shuffle them again and again.  Put them in order (from Fool through the World, followed by each of the suits, from Ace through Ten, then Page, Knight, Queen and King).  Handling your cards helps them to become an extension of you. The Tarot deck is made up of 78 cards: 22 major arcana and 56 minor arcana.  You must memorize and be able to identify each card as well as give two divinatory meanings for each card.  Major arcana.  The Tarot archetypes represented in the major arcana are pictures that represent life and the stages and experiences we all go through.  It's meant to be the story of one's journey through life starting as The Fool (young, pure energy in spirit form) moving through events and cycles and finding completion in The World (the end of our life cycle). Minor arcana.   Minor Cards describes the people, events, feelings and circumstances we encounter on our personal "Fool's Journey."  It represents events that are within the control of the individual and indicate how you do something.  The minor arcana fairly closely resembles a traditional deck of playing cards.  It's made up of four suits, and each of these suits are associated with one of the elements:  Wands (Fire), Cups (Water), Pentacles (Earth) and Swords (Air).   There are also the  Queen, King and Knight (or Jack) of each suit plus the addition of Pages or Princesses. Memorizing all 78 cards will take time.  Try working with a partner who can quiz you using the deck as a kind of set of flash cards. A well-written book that will help you understand the basics of Tarot will be extremely helpful in getting you started reading tarot cards.  Some take you through the process in a way that emphasizes memorization while others encourage participation.  Choose a book that suits your learning style.  Don't plan to rely too heavily on your book.  It will be helpful to get you on track for learning, but you need to integrate your intuition with your book knowledge to fully develop as a Tarot card reader. Try this trick for incorporating your intuition into your learning.  Look at each card and decide what you think it means.  Don't worry about being right--just go from your gut.  Then look in your book and see what it says.  This will take the focus off pure memorization and the fear of being wrong and allow you to create readings that flow because of the way you've personally connected with the cards.

SUMMARY: Choose a deck of cards. Develop a mission statement. Transfer your energy to the deck. Understand how the deck works. Get a good book.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A variety of companies offer PCAT guides, including Kaplan, Barron’s, and Mometrix. You can research them to find out which guide sounds best for you and your learning style. Each guide costs money, but many students find them helpful.  You will want to make sure you get the latest edition of whatever test prep guide you use. The content of the PCAT changes periodically, so if you use an older edition it might be out of date. Test prep guides usually review the science and math material that you will need to know for the exam, so they can be especially effective if you feel you need to relearn or review material from courses that you may have forgotten. You can take PCAT prep courses on many college campuses. These are usually offered by test-prep companies like Kaplan and available only for a fee. In addition to helping you understand the material on the PCAT, these courses teach test-taking strategies that many find effective. You can find study groups through social networking sites, like Facebook, or relevant forums on sites like studentdoctor.net. Study groups can provide you with some community and structure while you prepare, and your peers may be able to help you understand concepts you’re having trouble with. You can talk to someone you know personally or reach out to online communities. These people can tell what strategies worked for them on the day of the test. There are a number of online forums where people discuss the PCAT on sites like studentdoctor.net. On these forums you can pose specific questions to people who have taken the test. If you have taken college courses relevant to the PCAT, your notes from them can be a great way to refresh your understanding of the topics you’ll need to know for the test.  The biology section of the test focuses on general biology, microbiology, and human anatomy and physiology. If you have taken courses that focus on these, be sure to review those notes carefully. For the chemistry section, you’ll want to refresh your knowledge of general chemistry, organic chemistry, and basic biochemistry processes. When you study for the match section, you will want to make sure to review what you know about basic math, algebra, probability and statistics, precalculus, and calculus. You can find a lot of the information you would learn in college classes in other sources. Coursera, for instance, offers a wide variety of free online lecture courses that you can take.  As lecture classes cover a broader range of material than the PCAT will, you should focus on watching lectures that address specific topics you need to learn more about, like a specific aspect of organic chemistry. You should not feel like you have to watch all the lectures for any one course. Just choose the ones that seem most useful for your specific needs. You can also find out what textbooks are commonly used to teach the topics covered by the PCAT by looking at course syllabi, which you can often find on university websites. The more tests you take, the more comfortable you will feel on the day of the test. You will also be able to develop strategies that help you manage the time constraints of the test effectively.  Make sure you time yourself while taking practice tests. You want to simulate the experience of taking the official test. You  should take a practice test roughly once a week throughout studying, but several times a week in the 2-3 weeks leading up to the test.
Summary: Use a test-prep guide. Enroll in a test prep course. Find a PCAT study group. Seek advice from people who have taken the test before. Review notes and tests from college courses if possible. Watch online lectures and review textbooks if you don’t have notes. Take as many practice tests as you can.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You'll want to make sure that the instrument you are tuning to is in tune before tuning to it. Some instruments, like the piano, stay in tune for long periods of time and are excellent tools for tuning your bass.  The E note on a keyboard can be found by locating the white key immediately after a series of two black keys in a row. Any key immediately after a series of two black keys is E. Other instruments that have recently been tuned, like a guitar or trumpet, can also be used to tune the E string of your bass. When you play your reference E note on an instrument, clear your head and try to hold onto the E note's pitch as clearly as possible. This is the first note you'll be tuning to.

SUMMARY:
Play the E note on an instrument.
