SEMANTIC ANALYSIS

The owner has associated the following topics to the website.

The results of our semantic analysis are shown below using the website's language.

They are the main concepts covered by cliffsnotes.com.

Each concept has a confidence score. The higher it is, the more important the topic is relative to the page.

Topics
CliffsNotes Confidence: 94% Arrow up

CliffsNotes (formerly Cliffs Notes, originally Cliff's Notes and often, erroneously, CliffNotes) are a series of student study guides available primarily in the United States.

The guides present and explain literary and other works in pamphlet form or online.

Detractors of the study guides claim they let students bypass reading the assigned literature.

The company claims to promote the reading of the original work, and does not view the study guides as a substitute for that reading.

Test preparation Confidence: 77% Arrow up

Test preparation (abbreviated test prep) or exam preparation is an educational course, tutoring service, educational material, or a learning tool designed to increase students' performance on standardized tests.

Examples of these tests include entrance examinations used for admissions to institutions of higher education, such as college (e.g. the SAT and ACT), business school (the GMAT), law school (the LSAT or LNAT), medical school (the MCAT), BMAT, UKCAT and GAMSAT and graduate school (the GRE) and qualifying examinations for admission to gifted education programs.

Study guide Confidence: 76% Arrow up

Study guides can be broad based to facilitate learning in a number of areas, or be resources that foster comprehension of literature, research topics, history, and other subjects.

Algebra Confidence: 74% Arrow up

Algebra (from Arabic "al-jabr" meaning "reunion of broken parts") is one of the broad parts of mathematics, together with number theory, geometry and analysis.

In its most general form, algebra is the study of mathematical symbols and the rules for manipulating these symbols; it is a unifying thread of almost all of mathematics.

As such, it includes everything from elementary equation solving to the study of abstractions such as groups, rings, and fields.

The more basic parts of algebra are called elementary algebra; the more abstract parts are called abstract algebra or modern algebra.

Elementary algebra is generally considered to be essential for any study of mathematics, science, or engineering, as well as such applications as medicine and economics.

Abstract algebra is a major area in advanced mathematics, studied primarily by professional mathematicians.

William Shakespeare Confidence: 73% Arrow up

William Shakespeare (26 April 1564 (baptised) – 23 April 1616) was an English , , and actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist.

He is often called England's national poet, and the "Bard of Avon".

His extant works, including collaborations, consist of approximately 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship.

His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.
