college scholarship/college testing time

English to Russian Other Education / Pedagogy
Доброго времени суток.

Amy gets to work. She writes down the stories she had shared with me and includes the components that make a story stick: characters, emotion, a moment, and specific details. She shares her stories aloud with her daughters. She reviews them most mornings and, most challenging of all, she consciously retells herself her chosen stories during the events where she feels most triggered.

As fate would have it, there is no shortage of triggers during the time we’re working together. Amy is working on her money story during a particularly triggering time: the holidays and ***college scholarship/college testing time***. Christmas is naturally a time of spending and can be an extremely common trigger for negative money stories. Between Amy’s two girls and her husband’s three kids, she has five to think about. Add to that the fact that Amy and her husband will have three girls in college at the same time, and just the word college is enough to send Amy spiraling back to the “I never have enough money” story.

Спасибо.

Scholarships and college testing Hi Mikhail, i can explain what these are and give context, but i'm not sure how to express it in Russian. In the final year of high school, students take a big test that determines a lot of their college entrance and funding options. Much of the US takes the ACT exam. Often the date for registration or the testing day is in December. A good score can help you get accepted into a prestigious university. A poor score obviously looks bad on applications for universities and applications for scholarships. Since education at a university isn't free for anyone in the US, a lot of students depend on getting scholarships. But getting a scholarship can also be hard. Only the best students are usually chosen for "full ride" scholarships. Full ride being all expenses paid.

So in the context of this passage, the deadlines for scholarship applications are approaching, and the registration and/or ACT exam (or similar) is happening in addition to Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years with all the stress from extra events, gathering, and travel that goes with those three holidays. It's often a stressful time. Moreso if your child is in their last year of K-12 school.
