In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This is primarily important if you are planning on installing a sink into one of your cabinets, as you will need to place that cabinet where it can connect easily to the plumbing. You should be able to see the pipes or openings coming up through the floor. Do not draw the lines for your suspension rails freehand or even using just a ruler. In order for your cabinets to be straight and level, your suspension rails will have to be as level as possible. Use the spirit level to carefully mark the lines for your suspension rails across the wall.  You will need one line to mark the bottom of the base rail and another line to mark the bottom of the upper rail.  The bottom of the base suspension rail should be 32 3⁄16 inches (81.8 cm) from the highest point of the floor.  The bottom of the upper suspension rail should be 82 3⁄16 inches (208.8 cm) from the highest point of the floor. If you don’t know where the studs in your wall are, use an electronic stud finder to locate them. Make sure you mark the studs so you can easily find them when installing the rails, perhaps with a color that shows up clearly against the wall. You will need to put your fasteners through the studs to make your cabinets as secure as possible. Find the dimensions of your cabinets on the box or manual, or measure your assembled cabinets with measuring tape. Make sure you’re noting which cabinets will need to have holes for utilities connections. You’ll need to place these cabinets over the connections you marked earlier. If you need to have more cabinets with holes, you’ll be able to saw openings later. Some of your cabinets should come with pre-made holes. Plan to be those cabinets where the connections need to be.
Summary: Take note of utilities connections if installing base cabinets. Draw lines using a spirit level for where your suspension rails will go. Mark the location of the studs on your suspension rail lines. Draw the outlines of your cabinets on the wall.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: AP classes and exams are a great way to earn college credit before you start college. After you complete an AP class, you can take an exam in that subject to assess your understanding of the material. A high score on an AP Exam can translate to college credit, meaning you don’t have to take as many courses in college. Talk to your school guidance counselor or AP teacher about whether AP classes are right for you. While there is a fee for taking an AP Exam, many high schools offer assistance for students who have trouble paying the fee. Talk to your school counselor or AP Coordinator about applying for a reduced fee. CLEP, or the College Level Examination Program, allows you to earn college credits for things you already know. This could be knowledge that you picked up from high school, work experience, or studying on your own. In order to get CLEP credits, you will need to take a CLEP exam. Talk to your high school counselor about how to take a CLEP exam, or visit the CLEP website at https://clep.collegeboard.org/ to find a test center near you. Before taking a CLEP exam, make sure that the college(s) you are interested in accept CLEP credits, and find out how those credits are applied.  The College Board offers free online courses to help you prepare for taking a CLEP exam.  Currently, there are 33 different CLEP exams which cover a variety of topics, including business, literature, foreign languages, math and science, and history and the social sciences.  There is a $85 fee for taking each CLEP exam. Some colleges or universities will offer credit for knowledge and experience that you gained from working. This is a great option for non-traditional students who have spent time in the workforce before starting or returning to college. Prior learning credit policies vary from one school to another. Speak to an admissions officer or search your prospective school’s website for information about credit for prior learning. Depending on your school’s policies, you may need to take an exam or create a prior learning portfolio in order to get prior learning credit. Requirements vary from one school to another, but many colleges or universities let you “test out” of some basic general education courses based on proficiency tests or placement exams. Placement tests usually assess your most essential skills, such as math, reading, and writing. Check with the admissions office at your college or university to find out about their placement test policies. For example, if you ace the algebra portion of your math placement test, you may be able to jump straight into pre-calculus. If you can demonstrate sufficient background knowledge, you may be able to convince your adviser, department head, or course instructor to let you skip prerequisite courses even if there is no formal way to “test out.” Work closely with your academic adviser to determine which courses you can skip. Every school has different policies when it comes to challenging prerequisites and other course requirements. Policies may also vary from one department to another. Talk to your adviser to find out how it works in your program.
Summary:
Take Advanced Placement classes and exams in high school. Get CLEP credits. Look for schools that offer prior learning credit, if you have work experience. Find out if your college offers placement exams. Talk to your adviser about challenging prerequisites.
