text: People experience things in different ways, so getting advice from different people will give you a clearer picture of what you need to do. For example lets say somebody wanted to practice for the English writing SOL, lets call this student Generic_Name. To be prepared for the SOL, Generic_Name asked his friend for advice on what he should study the most. Since everybody struggles on different things, and also gets different prompts, Generic_Name wouldn't have practiced as efficiently as he could have. Now if he had asked multiple people, including other students in his English class, and his English teacher he would have been more prepared to study, and ready to take the test. This is why when asking for advice you should take in consideration multiple people's opinions, so you have a better idea of what you need to do.
